"A transgender woman's body was found in a Tampa, Florida park on Tuesday morning, adding her name to a growing list of trans women violently killed this year nationwide.
India Clarke, 25, was found dead by a park employee at about 9 a.m. in a grassy area near a playground at University Area Community Center, according to WTSP. It's known as a safe park, popular with families and children.
Hillsborough Sheriff's detectives say she died of blunt force trauma, and are investigating her death as a murder. Relatives last saw her on Sunday"

This is upsetting and wrong. :( I don't want to ask this but, is it only trans woman? What about trans men?

I can't fathom how general society feels empathy for some innocent murder victims and not others. There are leaps and bounds to go to respect and empathize with all human beings, and not just ones that people can fit into the 'norms' of their lives.
