That’s terrible. R.I.P. to a true hero. It really hurts to hear that. Such a nice woman. You kind of get numb to it. Really sad seeing so many stories like this. I wish we would make more accountability like this. More then any misgender See Trans people as People. She’s a woman. Give her that respect. She’s a person. Why can’t they get that? Thank you for this piece you did.

That respect is the whole point. Misgendering her in the record does not just insult her memory — it helps bury the violence done to her. She was a woman, and the public record should not be allowed to take that from her.

I agree with you. And I got so much respect for you. For pointing this out.

I appreciate that. The record matters because once they are allowed to misname her, they are already being allowed to distort what happened to her.

Their name deserves to stay in the record, and so does the love people are carrying for them.

Thank you for seeing the advocacy as part of keeping them from being erased.
