"He grew up in typical hood family abuse, so it's understandable that he would kill a trans woman that grew up in typical hood family abuse", says the dude's lawyer.

To be sure, any justice system that requires lawyers is already made of "powerful, blood-sucking leeches who shit on vulnerable people."

All of this is sad, the crap we face for being trans is horendous. I started transition 8 years ago, at the time due to hate crimes/suicide combined the expected life span of a trans individual was 23. It's a little higher now, something like 30 iirc (which coincidentally is how old I am). It's just terrible.

Over on reddit I frequent /r/news (I'm u/usagimimi) and the denial that abounds from the community after every single murder of a trans person is scary. Massive doubt that it had anything to do with their status as trans or that they deserved it and such...
