Her name was Lamia Beard.
Her name was Taja DeJesus.
Her name was Penny Proud.
Her name was Ty Underwood.
Her name was Yazmin Vash Payne.
it’s important that we pay tribute to Leelah and Zander, but it’s also important that we pay tribute to the five trans women of color murdered in 2015 so far. I have seen next to nothing about these women. They are just as important as Leelah or Zander. They deserve the same recognition. They deserve the same respect. Remember their names.

How many more have died 100+ days after I first reblogged this?
