I know you and Kep are having a lover's spat right now, but pay attention:
Hovey, 19 trans people have been murdered so far this year, and we're still in September. Last year at Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourned 22 or 23. At this rate, we're going to eclipse that number, and I fear we're going to reach 25-30, mostly trans women of color. While this particular murder may not be GOP-related, the GOP and the alt-right have spewed enough rhetoric to make hate crimes against LGBT skyrocket in the past few years. It doesn't matter if the perps are MAGA hat wearing morons or not. What I and a few of us are saying, you either denounce this rhetoric or you're complicit.
