I'm so confused by the "woman who was killed for being transexual even though she wasn't transexual" and how that's related to a really obviously homophobic killing
This is fucking gash journalism
Your comment is lazy and lacks serious empathy. The lady was murdered with a razor blade to the throat because some fucking guy thought she was transgender. And the other guy was stabbed for standing up for his friend a transgender person.
It wasn't a homophobic killing. The second death was because the man made comments about a trans woman and the man stepped in to defend her. Did you read it? They were both about transphobia.
Your comment is like saying "The guy paid $50,000 for an old IBM computer even though the computer wasn't really an IBM - how is that related to people who like IBM computers?"
My dog doesn't understand why the mailman keeps showing up every day.
Doesn't mean there's not a reason the mailman shows up everyday, just that my dog isn't smart enough to understand it.
