Questioning Transphobia

DC Cop Fires upon five people – three of them trans women.

with one comment

I am not doing well with the summarizing or the commentating on the news, but here are relevant links, with the note that they contain descriptions of violence. Three people were shot (two trans women), but none died and their injuries are not life-threatening.

Hearing postponed for cop charged with shooting trans women

My heart goes out to the survivors and families.
