Touching, reverent story. Sad news but also a loud reminder of the danger of rhetoric in our society.

Tired of reading about boyfriends killing trans women. Why do they do it?? Because they think no one cares. Thank you for giving these women faces. And I hope they prosecute him to the highest extent. He’s a piece of shit. And she was a beautiful woman. R.I.P. prayers to her and her family. Blessings to her and her family.

So so sad.

There is a terrible understory developing too - if formal records do not capture gender, all of us disappear.

In a country that seems to be losing its feeling more and more on a daily basis this represents a significant loss.
