TITLE: Why Have There Been So Many Trans Murders This Year?
SENTENCE 1: Mere days into 2017, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, police only found the body of 28-year-old transgender woman Jamie Lee Wounded Arrow because, as KSFY reported, “a neighbor reported a strong odor coming from the apartment.”  Just days prior, police in Madison County, Mississippi, had found 41-year-old Mesha Caldwell, a transgender hair and makeup artist, dead on the side of a rural road outside of Jackson, as Mississippi News Now reported.
SENTENCE 2: And that pisses me off as an elder.”  The stories of these seven deaths are indeed all the more tragic for the youth of the victims—and for the sheer brutality with which their lives were discarded.
SENTENCE 3: “It results in not only the delayed recognition and response in the trans community of us honoring our last trans sisters, it is disrespectful to their memory and can delay justice in these cases,” the statement read.

If there have been so many trans murders this year, then it underscores the alarming rise in violence against transgender individuals, often fueled by discrimination, hate, and lack of legal protection.
