Because we're disposable

Another of my sisters is dead.

Another trans panic defence accepted.  Another killer acquitted of murder.

"Voluntary manslaughter"?

Could there possibly be a more dehumanising, demeaning term?

Two and a half years after her death, Alexis King is still denied dignity.

Why? Because trans women are disposable, our lives are worthless. Even
the law agrees.

There is no such thing as "trans panic."

The bastards. They murder these girls because they're bigots. "OMG A ->-bleeped-<-GOT -STABS-" They're not defending themselves. This is a hate crime.
