Trans Advocate Lia Smith Found Dead

10. I disagree

A secluded location, where she wouldn't be interrupted...
Yet on-campus, technically...
While not in the dorms or where other students, unprepared, would find her.

On the other hand, murders of trans people (women especially) tend to be very violent.

I'm not invested in whether or not you are convinced, but please consider how assumptions of murder might undercut discussions of the very real statistics of trans suicides; the progress that has been made by trans communities working for years with police and press to minimize harm by, for example, misgendering a deceased person; and in a way, erasing or minimizing whatever Lia was going through in order to paint the news with vibes of conspiracy and suspicion.

There is enough violence against trans people without giving the rightwing more fodder to doubt the truths of our lives.
