A Week Ago

Less than a week ago I wrote about five trans women have been murdered since the new year, sadly the count is now up to eight. On the website ETNYC they have the names of those died simple because they are trans,
February 15, 2015 – Kristina Gomez Reinwald
February 14, 2015 – Bri Golec
February 10, 2015 – Penny Proud
February 1, 2015 – Taja Gabrielle DeJesus
January 31, 2015 – Yazmin Vash Payne
January 26, 2015 – Tyra (Ty) Underwood
January 17, 2015 – Lamia Beard
January 12, 2015 – Ms. Edwards
Some were murdered by strangers, some by a boyfriend, and one by her father but they all had one thing in common, they were all trying to live their true lives and for that they were murdered.

Stop the hate!
