    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.

      Did you even read the article?

      Clearly stated that the weirdo killed her as he thought she was trans and would do it again if he could.

      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.
