    This makes me sick... :frowning2:

    This is why I train martials. I don't want this to ever happen to me or anyone I love.

    Can't you hear the sounds?
    Some days everything seems A-okay. Then there are days where I see there's still a ton of progress to be made.

    Killing people because of gender-identity is just..

    It's always sad to see stories like these. What's even more scary is that trans women of color have a 1 in 8 chance of being murdered. This means that there are most likely more murders out there that have been swept into the shadows.

    Wow, I had no idea it's that high.

    I wonder what the stats look like if you break things down by comparing to the chances of white trans women being killed, or also, by income level.
