The murder of a young transgender girl in the UK has created a media feeding frenzy, but the one aspect the press hasn’t focused on is the motive of trans hatred from Brianna’s killers.

The teens who murdered Ghey referred to her as “it” and discussed her trans identity in dehumanizing ways as they psyched themselves up to stab her in a public park.

The “mistake” was that the shooter didn’t realize the woman he approached at a bus stop was trans.

Prosecutors are moving ahead with hate crimes for the 22-year-old accused of murdering 5 and people in an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado shortly before Thanksgiving.

While responsibility for the murders falls only on the murderer, the responsibility for the terror trans people are feeling is not because of him alone. The responsibility for that climate falls on the GOP, and the right wing media.
