This is upsetting and wrong.  I don't want to ask this but, is it only trans woman? What about trans men?

I can't fathom how general society feels empathy for some innocent murder victims and not others.  There are leaps and bounds to go to respect and empathize with all human beings, and not just ones that people can fit into the 'norms' of their lives.
