Columbus, Ohio police are investigating the death of 28-year-old Rae'Lynn Thomas, who was shot and killed by her mother's ex-boyfriend, who lived with her family at the time, according to WBNS.

Thomas' mother, Renee Thomas, shared her daughter's final words with local news:

"Mom, please please don't leave me. Mom, I'm dying," she said. "Mom, I love you. Tell my sisters and my brother I love them. Tell my family I love them. Mom, I'm dying, I'm dying, please don't leave me."

Renee Thomas said her daughter transitioned 10 years ago. Rae'Lynn's aunt, Shannon Thomas, said Rae'Lynn was a performer who was dedicated to fashion.

According to Renee Thomas, her ex James Allen Byrd was transphobic and often called Rae'Lynn "the devil." Renee Thomas says Byrd repeated the word before shooting Rae'Lynn in their Columbus home.

"He was in the bedroom and he just came around the corner and shot my [daughter]," she said. After two shots, Byrd grabbed Rae'Lynn and began beating her.

This is yet another murder of a transperson in the United States, making it nearly 20 in 2016 alone. Anyone who says transpeople just want attention, don't need equality, can wait, or that identity politics is the greatest ebul ever....rethink your positions. It ignores things like this.

Terrible. I don't really understand why people have a hatred of transpeople.

The fuck? Transwomen are a small population. 20 is a huge statistic for us. Not to mention that nearly all of those 20 are motivated by hatred for transpeople, whereas in other population a lot of murders have other motives.

[Liriena]

Oh, but transwomen are the public safety risk here, people. Don't forget that. -___________-

This is horrible. I'm a cis guy, but the more I hear about the problems faced by the trans community, the more disheartened I am. You people deserve better.

How many Transpeople are there in the United states vs how many murdered?

How many Transpeople are there in the United states vs how many murdered?

IIRC Transpeople are less than 1% of the US population.

And way to ignore the other point. I've never heard of someone killing a white guy and calling them 'Satan.'

[Aelex]

Seems rather unlikely that he killed them just because they were trans. It probably had more to do with the mother herself given that the murderer happened to be her ex-boyfriend.

Unless you never heard of the term "white Devil" before.

Fixed.

[Nariterrr]

Why do I have to live in this day and age?

Praying for her family, END hate and bigotry against transpeople.

[New Grestin]

Crazy theory, but what if she actually was Satan, and that man just saved the human race from the apocalypse, but we don't realize that they were Satan, so the guy gets locked up. Then, some hotshot lawyer has to learn the meaning of justice by defending him in court against, like, some angels or some shit.

Or, you know, it was just a senseless murder.

Universal, call me. Will write for food.

Oh please stop with your white oppression bullshit. Give me one example of a hate crime against white people. One.

Am I the only one thinking this is an absurdly low number for labeling this as a class struggle?

Name a single hate crime against a white dude.

Well some black girl had the audacity to say her ancestors were enslaved by white people... clearly white genocide. Because white people have been enslaved, oppressed, and segregated for over 400 years in this country.

[The Serbian Empire]

Terrible. I don't really understand why people have a hatred of transpeople.

It's religion tainting and making people bigoted. The Bible mentions that men dressing as women is a crime due to draft dodgers using such methods to get around being conscripted into being soldiers.

The fuck? Transwomen are a small population. 20 is a huge statistic for us. Not to mention that nearly all of those 20 are motivated by hatred for transpeople, whereas in other population a lot of murders have other motives.

How many Transpeople are there in the United states vs how many murdered?

Let's compare to cis women being murdered. 1100 cis women are murdered every year. Trans women are much rarer to the point of where anything more than 3 to 10 murders a year would warrant a cause for concern.

[Jolthig]

Another day in America..

I really don't understand transphobes, but I guess they love their irrational positions.

Among the single-bias hate crime incidents in 2012, there were 3,467 victims of racially motivated hate crime.

66.2 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-black bias.
22.0 percent were victims of an anti-white bias.
4.4 percent were victims of a bias against a group of individuals in which more than one race was represented (anti-multiple races, group).
4.1 percent were victims of an anti-Asian/Pacific Islander bias.
3.3 percent were victims of an anti-American Indian/Alaskan Native bias. (Based on Table 1.)

I dont really owe you a civil debate.

sense i really dont owe you anything really.

[UIJ]

I find this offensive.

But joking aside, I fail to see why this is a big deal. People die everyday, why does it matter if they were trams or not?

It shouldn't.

No.

I thought for some reason you were female. (Name + Puppy Pictures probably did that)

Fixed.

Plural third person has been mod approved if I recall correctly so, nyeh. Plus, big fail from your part since you "fixed" only one out of two of the time I used said pronoun.
