Kendall HamptonGroup urges renewed discussion and action on LGBTQ violenceKendall Hampton, a 26-year-old Cincinnati gender non-conforming individual, was shot killed by an unknown suspect over the weekend, police officials said. Hampton, who police identified as a prostitute, was killed in the Walnut Hills area of the city. The Buckeye Region Anti-Violence Organization is calling the murder a hate crime and believes the victim was targeted because of the shooter's perception of Hampton's gender identity and expression.

TransGriotHampton Case in Ohio UpdateThursday, August 23, 2012

I posted last week about the Hampton trans murder case in Ohio and my pissivity over the almost immediate deployment of the Black trans unwoman meme' in the initial reports by several Cincinnati media outlets.
The local media in addition to immediately misgendering her, assumed Hampton was engaged in sex work, which pissed me off still further
Well, interestingly enough, there's a story that came out yesterday in
GLBTNewsCincinnati.com by Worley Rodehaver about this latest trans murder based on an interview with a person purported to be a relative of Hampton's named Terri.
According to the article, Hampton had just had a fistfight with a transphobe who called her names, and the cismale she vanquished was being teased by other males for being beat up by a '->-bleeped-<-'.

TransGriotAnother Young Transwoman Lost In OhioMonday, August 20, 2012
http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2012/08/another-young-transwoman-lost-in-ohio.htmlWhile I was in Charlotte for the just concluded TransFaith In Color Conference, heard about another young African-American transwoman who has been killed in the Cincinnati suburb of Walnut Hills, OH. .
As usual, we have another case of an African-American transwoman being disrespectfully misgendered in the media, followed up by transphobic comments in the jacked up story on that media outlet's website.
What aggravates me even further about the developing story besides the pimping of the Black trans prostitute meme, is before I left for Charlotte had to report about another Chicago trans woman who had been killed.
WKRC-TV. read your AP Stylebook as to the proper way to report on trans persons. Umm, never mind, I'll do it myself since you trained professional journalists can't seem to get it right the first time.
