What Happened To The Many Transwomen Of Color?

Bee Love Slater becomes a number. The number of transgender women of color killed in 2019. She would be the 18th victim of violence. Her body was found in a vehicle burned beyond recognition.

This is a story that we're not covering in the junk food media.

How many transwomen of color are being killed out there?

Thought and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers does not bring back the dead or heal the wounded. It's worthless platitudes and phony sympathy. It's a distraction.

Reminder: Transwomen of color being killed at a faster rate.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence. They offer nothing but platitudes and distractions to take the ball off an issue that has been a plague on our country. They want to ban flavored vapes and restrict women's rights to choice. However, when it comes to high capacity firearms, these are "god-given" rights.

Fuck the bullshit.

Do you believe the murders of transwomen of color is problematic in the United States? (Expect trolls to pick and respond with the dumbest answers)

Yes. I believe that this is a major problem in the United States. Transwomen of color are being killed by sexual abuse and gun violence. The government must find ways to protect transgender Americans. They deserve to live their lives as truly themselves.

No. I believe this is not an issue. The LGBTQ community continues to push an agenda on Americans who don't support this. They were assigned a gender at birth and should be identified as such. I believe that their agenda is the reason to their deaths.

Please Specify:

I am tired of dealing with mass shootings. I am tired of saying, "thoughts and prayers" and "my heart going out" every freaking time there's a mass shooting or a victim of gun violence. I don't know any of these people. If I knew these people, I will address it.

However, these folks never get the stories of success. They are often vilified because of choices that some of these motherfucking trolls scorn upon.

You would never know these people's names because these issues are being swept under the rug. They are being killed by anti-transgender bigots. They are being called by their government names and not their true names.

It's a problem in the United States. We need to protect our women of color.

Again, I don't judge the lifestyle of individuals. Many of these women were killed where either victims of sexual abuse or transphobia. Some of the women killed were never named.

In 2019 there were 19 victims who were identified as transgender.

Dana Martin was found shot to death in Montgomery, Alabama. She was driving when a bullet shot her. The vehicle she was driving was found in a ditch. She was 31.

Jazzaline Ware, was a transgender woman who found dead in her Memphis home. The law hasn't determined if foul play or suicide was a factor.

Ashanti Carmon was a victim of sex trafficking. At age 27, Ashanti was a victim of sexual abuse and robbery during her short life. She was identified by Washington, DC's Metro Police and Prince George's County Boys. She was on survival sex. She slept with men and women to pay her bills. She was homeless and out of options. Many transgender women are often never hired in the United States because of state laws that allow companies to fire at will anyone of LGBTQ. Ashanti was a killed on the eve of International Transgender Day of Visibility.

Claire Legato, 21 was killed after an argument between her mother and the suspect who shot her. The suspect shot her after Claire defended her mother. The Cleveland Police have been searching for the shooter and will criminally pursue aggravated homicide charges.

We had talked about Muhlaysia Booker. This was the transgender woman who was beaten in the street by a group of Black men. This happened Dallas. Instead of helping Muhlaysia, they were taunting and sharing the knuckle style chili serving on social media. The suspects were caught and criminally charged. However, a few months later, Muhlaysia was found shot. Her body was found near a private golf course. The police had found the suspect. They determined that she was a victim of sexual abuse by a sexual predator who may have been a known serial killer. The suspect had ties to prostitution stings and a status in Offender U.

Michelle "Tamika" Washington, 40 was a trans rights activist. She was shot in Philadelphia. She was found in a neighborhood called Franklinville. There was a suspect caught.

Paris Carmeron, 20 was found shot along with two other individuals. We have talked about her death on this blog. Paris was killed by a sexual predator who had anti-LGBT hatred. Paris, Alunte Davis and Timothy Blancher were found shot in Detroit. This happened during the Memorial Day weekend.

Chynal Lindsey was a transwoman of color who was found naked in a Dallas neighborhood. The 26 year old was the many crimes against transgender women in Dallas. They thought the sexual predator who killed Muhlaysia Booker was involved. It turned out that another sexual predator was involved in the death of Chynal. The FBI and state are seeking information about this sexual predator to determine if he has serial killer motivations.

The faces of transwomen killed by hate.

Johana Medina Leon, 25 was seeking asylum in the United States. She was from El Salvador and she was HIV-positive. She was denied medical treatment for an undisclosed illness and would die at an El Paso hospital due to failure of treatment. Donald J. Trump and Republicans are trying to punish asylum seekers from Central America and Mexico. Transgender individuals are often detained and sometimes denied entry.

Chanel Scurlock, 23 was found shot and killed in Lumberton, North Carolina. Her family was concerned about her safety. She was planning to meet up with a Facebook troll who stole her photos and planned to exploit her. She went to confront this individual. Turns out the troll was armed. The troll shot and killed Chanel. The junk food media identified the victim by the government name and even referred her as a gay man in some reports. The suspect was caught and charged for murder and robbery.

Zoe Spears, 23 was another transwoman who was a victim of sex trafficking. She was found shot and killed in Fairmount Heights, Maryland, a suburb of the Washington, DC area. The murder occurred a few miles from where Ashanti Carmon was found. The death has made DC Metro and area law enforcement target areas where prostitution is rampant. They were arresting tricks and prostitutes to combat the gun violence plaguing our nation's capitol. Zoe's death affected transgender women who worked in the stroll. They feared that there was a serial killer who had predatory intentions.

Denali Berries Stuckey, 29 was found shot and killed in North Charleston, South Carolina. Her death was an ongoing investigation. The law haven't determined a motive. However, this is the third transgender murder in South Carolina since 2018. Her killer hasn't been caught.

Tracy Single, was found shot to death in Houston. The 22 year old was found in the back of a convenience store parking lot near the Katy Freeway (Interstate 10). The victim was homeless. Tracy was a victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. The victim was allegedly in a relationship with the accused. The suspect was upset over a breakup or affair committed by Tracy. Her death would mark the third in Texas.

Kiki Fentroy, 21 was a transwoman of color who was shot in killed in Miami. The family believes that she was a victim of sexual abuse and gun violence. They believed a 17 year old was trying to lure Kiki to an abandoned house for a sexual favor. The suspect and his friend would try to corner the victim and drag her to the house. They robbed her and shot her at point blank range. The suspect allegedly was trying to robbed Kiki and had no interest in sex. The suspects were charged with murder in the first degree.

Pebbles LaDime Doe was found in a vehicle with a gunshot to her head. The 24-year old trans woman was discovered by a person who saw a vehicle in a driveway. The South Carolina authorities haven't determined if the victim was an area resident. They don't have a suspect in her murder. Her death marks the fourth in the state.

Bailey Reeves, was shot and killed in Baltimore. She was a homeless teen. She was a victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was found in a backyard with multiple shots to the torso. This happened only a few weeks ago. The Baltimore Police haven't determined a motive but are aware of prostitution being known around that area.  The 17 year old transgender woman was rejected by her family for coming out as trans.

Bee Love Slator was found burned and decapitated in her own vehicle. This happened in Clewiston, Florida. Witnesses saw a vehicle on fire and the law responded to it. They saw a body in the vehicle that was unrecognizable. The junk food media identified the victim by the government name. Bee Love's was apparently shot and killed by the suspect. The suspect decided to burn the body to throw off the law. There is no suspect caught in this death.

This is a huge issue affecting many transwomen. Many of the victims were women of color and the junk food media has either ignore this. Many of these victims were sexually abused, rejected by society or just victims of hate.

They were human beings.

Transgender women have a higher risk of death because of individuals and their fear of difference.

Folks who a binary or transgender often face obstacles in their lives. Suicide and sexual abuse are often top on the list of issues facing transgender women.

The Human Rights Campaign is hoping the Democratic candidates running for president acknowledge this issue. Because the Republicans and Trump are pretty much passing on this issue.

They have no concern for the lives of their fellow Americans.

Truly a sad day in Amerikkka folks.

Speaking on behalf of women of color, we can't allow this nonsense to continue. From Trump to entertainers like 50 Cent, transphobia is not cool. It's dangerous. We got to get over this bullshit about manhood.

If men want to be in relationships with transgender women, that's their right. Fuck your feelings and fuck your concerns. They aren't hurting anyone.

Also I want to make a correction. One of the victims of the Dayton terrorist attack was identified as transgender. Jordan Cofer (Betts) (aka the terrorist's relative) was misgendered by the junk food media. The victim was either an intended target or unintended target.
