Benji 20,113 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 The tragic killing of 16-year-old trans girl Brianna Ghey is now being investigated as a possible hate crime, police have said. The trans schoolgirl was pronounced dead by authorities after being found with multiple stab wounds at Linear Park in Culcheth, Warrington, on Saturday (11 February). Cheshire Police have been given a 30-hour extension to question a boy and a girl, both 15, who were arrested in connection with the murder. A post-mortem examination is also planned as part of an ongoing investigation, alongside the search for the weapon and a motive. The tragic killing has been felt across the trans community, who have sent their love and support to the Ghey family. Several tributes and vigils have been planned over the course of this week across the UK, including London, Belfast, Liverpool, and Edinburgh. A spokesperson for advocacy group Transgender Action Block – which arranged an 18 February vigil in London – said they want to “create a solemn atmosphere of mourning where trans youth can feel safe”.

Totally, they keep stoking these culture wars against trans people and immigrants and then they act horrified when those people get hurt or killed. The whole rhetoric around trans people is so, so toxic in the UK right now, it’s disgusting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conservatives create culture wars and bully minorities to their deaths and then shrug and say "what happened?", then move QUICKLY to blame victims or the minority communities.

tomdsgn 1,916 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 She posted a picture to her Instagram story 1 week ago that’s still at the end of her highlights with a song playing, the lyrics were “no one gives a ****, no one gives a ****, no one gives a **** about my life 'til I die” So tragic. I didn’t know her but she’s been on my mind a lot since the news broke. It’s just so horribly cruel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
