Transgender Day of Rememberance

 I, along with a lot of other people, am in the process of preparing for TGDoR. In previous years, the 'list' of trans people murdered (which tends to be read out at the London ceremony) seems to have been posted or mirrored at www.transgenderdor.org. This year, however, the list there is very short, not even approaching the 93 murders quoted here between January and June, http://www.transrespect-transphobia.org/en_US/tvt-project/tmm-results/july-august-2010.htm.
Taking those figures as accurate and extrapolating from them, it would seem to me that we'd be looking at a list of more than 150 names, rather than the ~25 on www.transgenderdor.org
I was wondering if anyone knew of any sources for a more complete list, or whether groups need to compile the TransRespect names, the TransgenderDoR names, and search through news sources to complete the list?

i've encountered, what i've decided to call, a "trans-stupid" psychiatrist in a mental health day treatment program i'm attending for mental wellness.

since GID (gender identity disorder) is in the DSM, and the DSM is basically the psychiatry bible, shouldn't she know more about it, or at least how to interact with a trans person?

ANYWAY, what i'm looking for if help finding some information i can print off for her to better her understanding, and future treatment of trans people. this is where you come in, yes YOU! do you know of a fantastic "how to deal with a trans patient" thingy i can give to her? (thingy being a very technical word, of course)

i'm sorry my thoughts are jumbled, i'm crabby about the whole ordeal, so i'm having a hard time focusing.



thanks in advance for any and all help! :)
