Gud, idag på Transgender day
of remembrance vill
vi minnas alla som inte
får kallas för sitt rätta namn,
alla som hatats så mycket

där de får vara sig själva.
Amen.

The Swedish Government strongly rejects the Islamophobic act committed by individuals in Sweden. This act in no way reflects the opinions of the Swedish Government. @SweMFA

Great! Looking forward to hearing the outcomes!
