I cannot but help wonder if all these anti-trans legislation create an environment that condones bullying and violence against us.
All she did she did to survive.
For some trans women of color it is almost impossible to find jobs but many dropped out of school because of bullying or they were thrown out of their family and must do whatever to survive.

OCKVILLE, Md. (ABC7) — Detectives continue to investigate an adult found dead in a hotel room at a Red Roof Inn Saturday in Rockville, the Montgomery County Police Department said.
Police said on Monday that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.
Initially the victim was identified as 22-year-old Kenneth Anthony Blakeney, but police say detectives have determined that the victim identified herself as a transgender female named "Keyonna."
Police say Keyonna may have been engaging in prostitution at the Inn.
Court records show that a Kennethy Anthony Blakeney was arrested on April 3 in Prince George's County for a third degree sex offense. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 29.
Keyonna died from trauma to the upper body, according to police.
