Addendum: I’m being an insensitive fuck. Anti-trans discrimination is a huge deal, especially when it happens on a legal level. Write your congresspeople, speak up, keep being outraged.

These people are so fucking stupid. And also erasing the identity of transmen, as they tend to do.

I don’t live in either of those cities, and I’m certainly repulsed by it.

And white dudes who like little girls too much?

Didn’t ABC accuse her brother of being the killer, prompting a defamation lawsuit?

I won’t watch this. It would be one thing if the police decided to re-open the case, but this is just another rehashing of the same story; I don’t care how “original” it is.

One thing this article doesn’t touch on but has been reported as well (my mother has actually had this happen to her):

I don’t call the police for anything, ever. Car’s been broken into? They won’t respond because the monetary value is less than $3000. My ex is sending me threats because I don’t want to keep his stuff forever? They’d probably side with him. Some guy follows me home from the bar? They take 30 minutes to show up, at…
