I realize it’s been a rough time in the transgender community. Two kids are dead (Leelah Alcorn, 17, and Zander Mahaffey, 15) and one is in critical condition (Damien Shrum, 13, holy shit) after attempting suicide due to ignorant and abusive parents.
I know the news have already been spreading through Tumblr like wildfire, and it’s good that we’re still making noise and staying alert to try and
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.
