Who She Was

Guerrero's 17-year-old child, Gwen Amber Rose Araujo, was beaten to death at a party on Oct. 3, 2003, after it was discovered that Gwen was physically a man.

Gwen's story was told in a Lifetime network movie, "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story," which won the 2007 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Movie for Television.

The assault on Gwen apparently erupted because two of the attackers had been sexually intimate with her, not realizing Gwen was transgendered — a person who has the physical attributes of one gender, but emotionally feels he or she is the opposite gender.

Gwen was planning to undergo treatments to allow her to become a female, but did not live long enough to begin the process.
