Transgender Woman Murdered: Houston Media Uses Poor Taste

      Another Transgender sister is lost to senseless hate and brutality. Houston media refers to her using male pronouns and referring to her as man. They continue to add salt to the wound by inferring she was a sex worker or homeless or both.
  May Myra rest in peace!

    By Advocate.com Editors

    The half-naked body of a 51-year-old trans woman was found last week in a vacant lot in the Montrose area of Houston, Texas. But reports of Myra Ical's death have been salacious at best, with mainstream media referring to Myra as a man, saying the area where her body was found was known by police to be frequented by prostitutes and drug users.
