Victims No More: A Chicago Trans Group Fight Back

In 2008, 18 year old Angie Zapata had just begun living. Having transitioned only 2 years prior with the support of her loving family, the trans Latina teen was finally happy — able to live out her life as the young woman she knew she was. However, this happiness was short lived.

In July of 2008, Angie met 31 year old Allen Andrade via a social networking site. The two eventually met in person and spend three days together in Angie's apartment. Somewhere during their time together, Andrade discovers that Angie is trans. He subsequently begins to beat her, first with his firsts and then with a fire extinguisher.
