Jay
At
the Christian Page murder vigil in Chicago. At least
one transgender person is brutally murdered each month.
Because the victim is generally seen as a disposable
person, their murderers tend to get away with their
crimes, and there is little follow-up investigation.
To counteract stereotyping, and force greater follow-up,
a greater number and variety of transgender activists
and friends are showing up at events. Jay is in the
beginning stages of female-to-male transition.
