I was barely sixteen months into my own transition when I heard the shocking news coming out of Washington DC on August 7, 1995 about an African-American transwoman who died there.
Why do I remember this particular transwoman out of sadly the hundreds who have died since that date? It's because Tyra's death was unnecessary.
