Because a suicidal trans woman is worthless

I recently posted about the trial of a doctor for the apparent assault and rape of a suicidal trans woman in Melbourne.  I said that I wouldn't be surprised if the doctor got away with only a smack on the wrist for being a naughty boy.

So I'm saddened but not surprised to learn from the Sydney Morning Herald that Dr Sulieman Hamid has avoided jail: the court gave him a suspended sentence only. And although he's "currently suspended from practising as a doctor in Victoria", there's no mention of whether he's allowed to practise elsewhere.
