A young black transgender woman was shot dead in a Louisiana motel this week, becoming at least the seventh transgender woman known to have been killed in the United States this year, rights advocates said.
The woman, Amia Tyrae, 28, was killed Monday at about 1:15 a.m. at a motel on Airline Highway, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Dr. William Clark, the East Baton Rouge Parish coroner, ruled Ms. Tyraes death a homicide, caused by a gunshot wound to the chest.
The Police Department said Friday night that Dedrick Butler, 22, of Denham Springs, La., had been arrested in the killing. He was charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Prostitution is, by its nature, a dangerous occupation:

By focusing on violence to transgender prostitutes, the New York Times is minimizing violence to hetrosexual prostitutes.
“The left is trying to frame this as proof of increased hatred and violence towards transgenders since Trump took office”
Just a repeat of the same playbook they used with the gays to burnish their victimhood credentials.
7 killed. I am willing to bet even compared to the small fraction of the population that is transgender, this is not that high of a number out of the whole. I also wouldn’t be surprised if said person were behaving recklessly leading up to death in at least a few of these seven cases.
“The woman, Amia Tyrae, 28, was killed Monday at about 1:15 a.m. at a motel”
I’m betting the “woman” had a surprise for whomever it was with that didn’t go over very well.
So I guess the story OUGHT to be about how us "CIS" gendered people are being killed, since we seem far more likely to be.
Derrick sounds like a piece of work too.
I believe the number killed in car crashes will be comparable to the murders as well.
Yes it is low, average would be 24, see post 26.
A man / male / dude with serious mental issues is killed under suspicious circumstances ... quite possibly relating to him deceiving someone in the service of his mental issues.
He didn’t deserve to be murdered and sympathy goes out for his family, still he should still not under any circumstances be referred to according to his delusions he had while still alive.
Society and the language should not be restructured to accommodate either crazy or perverted.
Kentucky Fried Movie. “Thrill Seekers!” I liked “Fist Full of Yen” myself.
“young black DUDE dressed as a woman “
How many women prostitutes were also murdered. What is the percentage of transgender prostitutes murdered to all prostitutes versus the percentage of transgender prostitutes to all women prostitutes. My guess is there isn’t much difference between those numbers.
Yep.
I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight.
Try defining transgenders among a group of normal people and see how challenging it is to define "transgender". Good luck.
Customer: "Wow - that was great! But why do you keep staring at my manhood?"
Tranny Hooker: "Because sometimes I really miss mine."
“The woman...”
Wrong.
