Philadelphia: another woman murdered
Questioning Transphobia

I've just been reading a news report of what appears to be the murder of yet another trans woman, known only by her first name (Stacey), this time in Point Breeze, Philadelphia. I've only seen this one report so far and, as ever, some of the language – mostly from the Police Department's report – is, well, just plain wrong. Offensive and demeaning, frankly. Really, if someone lives as a woman and is known to her family, friends and neighbours as a woman, why would you want to misgender her?
