The 22 people we've lost in 2017 to anti-trans violence and hate, and I pray we don't lose anyone else between now and the rest of the year.
In the US in 2017 we have lost 17 African-American trans people (16 trans feminine, 1 trans masculine), 2 Latinas, 1 Native American, 2 white trans people .
And it's worse on the rest of the planet. #StopKillingUs #TransLivesMatter
What would all of these people have accomplished for our community and society at large if they hadn't been violently taken away from us?
