Violence against trans women.

Because I should write about it but I just can't today. I have too much to do. So please read these. And think about what happens when we make a person "it."

At La Chola.

At TransGriot.

At Questioning Transphobia.

At Shakesville.

At Feministe.

(Violence against women and its portrayal in the media is one of my major topics of study, and I'll be all over this soon, I promise. Because violence against trans women is both violence against women and boundary policing, both abusing a victim that is easy to pick on, that society won't blame you for, and the media portrays it consistently like the trans person in question was asking for it. And fuck them.)
