it's not just a trans student, it's a trans woman. And it comes on the heels of 2 deaths of other trans women in April. Nobody reported on Daniella Analee either. There was barely any reporting on Davonta Curtis who was murdered in her own apartment by a man with a hammer. It's so important in these moments to not degender trans women.
You’re right. She should be named clearly as a trans woman, especially at a moment when federal systems are already stripping trans people out of the public record.
The violence does not disappear. But once the reporting fades, the names fade with it — and that silence becomes part of the erasure itself.
That silence is not happening in isolation. At the same time media attention around violence against trans people is collapsing, the federal government is removing some of the only national tools capable of measuring that violence in the first place.
When trans people become statistically invisible, it becomes easier for institutions, media systems, and the public to pretend the violence is smaller than it is. The attacks do not stop. The documentation disappears first.
😢 What hurts is realizing how many people already saw this coming. A young trans woman was killed, and the grief people are expressing now is mixed with exhaustion, fear, and the feeling that the country keeps letting this happen over and over again.
She should still be alive living an ordinary life instead of becoming another public mourning ritual.
Things like this seem like a symptom of a very depraved nation. When I think about this country and the MAGA mobsters and the trash on the religious right along with all the corruption, it doesn’t surprise me that these senseless evil acts of violence take place so often.
That is the part that feels so rotten. A 19-year-old trans woman was killed, and it does not feel separate from the countrywide permission structure that keeps making hate feel righteous, political, and protected.
Violence like this does not appear from nowhere. It grows in a culture that keeps teaching people who is disposable.
This is both WRONG and TERRIFYING! I am a 67 year old transgender woman who is not very brave to begin with, who only recently has realized that to truly be complete she simply must transition. This murder and murder of my sisters and brothers cries out to me that when I transition I could be murdered too!
My heart breaks for those who love this lady and are grieving over her being stolen from us all! My heart grieves for the far too many other trans men and women being murdered and mistreated as well!
I'm incredibly grateful to you for covering this trans woman's homicide. One of the many many disturbing things about this heartbreak is that the laundry room where the victim was murdered apparently had a broken door lock for many months that management was alerted to but chose not to fix. This gave the murderer easier access to somebody who was vulnerable. It is also being reported that other students in the very same building caught somebody matching the perp's description crawling into their window in April with a knife. They scared him away, but security was not increased and residents were not notified. So many crimes of the vulnerable include failings like this and it's unforgivable.

The fact that nobody is actively reporting on this is telling

America has that bankrupt culture because that culture was created by people who were morally depraved the moment the sperm fertilized the egg.
Hate crimes are so typically American 🇺🇸
USA NOT OK 👎
