Damn, Another Transpinay Murdered

Jennifer Laude isn't even in her grave a week and here I am discussing the death of another trans pinay.

Mary Joy Añonuevo, 55,
55 year old Mary Joy Anonuevo was found October 21 stabbed 33 times all over her body in the basement of the Koozy Resto BarDamn,  she owned

Residents heard screaming at 11 PM the previous night and called police.

It was discovered the bar had been left open, four empty beer bottles and glasses were left on the bar, and a tablet, jewelry, and an undetermined amount of cash were missing.

Police are investigating it as a robbery, but friends of Anonuevo and local advocates suspect this is a hate crime because of the brutality level of the killing.

And so do I.

It's past time the Philippine legislature sends the message that anti-trans hatred and crimes aimed at the trans community there are unacceptable.

And I know my trans brothers and trans sisters there will not rest until justice is served in Mary's care either.
