whocares 2,122 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The South Florida death — estimated to be the 18th killing of a transgender woman of color in the U.S. this year — is being investigated as a homicide. The death of a Black transgender woman whose body was found in a torched car in South Florida last week is being investigated as a homicide and possible hate crime, authorities said. The body of Bee Love Slater, a 23-year-old trans woman, was found in a burned-out car on Sept. 4 in Clewiston. Her remains were so badly burned that it took investigators several days to identify her by dental records. The Hendry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death as a homicide, telling NBC-2 it’s one of the most brutal killings the county has ever seen. Investigators said they had no suspects. Slater had been receiving threatening messages on Facebook in the days before she was killed, her friend, Antorris Williams, told Out Magazine. Slater “posted messages saying she felt as if people were after her to attack and hurt her and she had a conversation with one of her best friends the day she was murdered saying she wanted to leave” the area, Williams said. Violence against the trans community reached an all-time high in 2017, according to a Human Rights Campaign report. In 2018, at least 26 transgender people were killed, the majority of them trans women of color. https://t.co/GXnSRULaKY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in limbo 6,035 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I feel sad and angry that a black trans woman being burned to the point of no recognition isn't as shocking as it should be. It shouldn't be like this. this is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo 40,746 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 This is an epidemic in the country that needs to be addressed. Of course the fat orangutan won’t but it needs to be at the forefront of many candidates campaigns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
