TRIGGER WARNING: Some of the external links in this blog post contain graphic descriptions of transphobic violence and may well be triggering. PLEASE approach them with great caution, if at all.

Although I've been slow to spot this story, it seems that the mass media reporting it have been even slower, for reasons that I can only speculate about.

Reports in the Los Angeles Times, LA Examiner, LA Weekly and others tell the story of a horrific beating of a transgender woman by as many as five cis people.
