Well folks, here we fracking go again. This time the disrespect is not only in my neck of the woods once again, it's up I-65 from me in Indianapolis.

Bil is also blogging about this over at The Bilerico Project since it's in his backyard.

Taysia Elzy and her boyfriend were killed over the holidays. Not only did they identify her as a 'man' they used mug shots for the photos. Also peep the comments coming from the 'enlightened' citizens who are posting onto this story.

As per TransGriot policy, I'm rewriting the story the way it should have appeared per AP Stylebook guidelines for covering transgender people.
