The mother of a transgender woman spoke of her unconditional love for her daughter and the names of 26 people who died this year were read during an emotional Transgender Day of Remembrance observance in Oakland Sunday, November 16.
Sharla Walker, a human resources manager, choked up as she described the love she has for her daughter, Tanajsha Thomas, who was among the 100 or so people in the audience and is the assistant coordinator for TransVision, the agency that sponsored the event. Walker said that she had long known her daughter was transgender, and has “unconditional love” for her.
