Cheshire Constabulary Det Ch Supt Mike said “At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the circumstances surrounding Brianna’s death are hate related”

Nowhere in the article does it say why anyone might suspect that as a possibility :ukkk:

All the linked articles are the same way

The local city council, school, and police were already being sued for lack of protection of trans kids from bullying a full two months before this happened.

That is really important context that a responsible journalist would include in the article. “No evidence to suggest,” huh?

That’s all true, it’s the fact that these news outlets are uniformly refusing to mention that even before this, she was a victim of transphobic bullying. The “no evidence of a hate crime” just makes that omission stand out even more.

Got misty eyed reading this. Nothing worth saying just typing this on auto pilot. Evil is real. Murder is a reality, but this kind of targeted killing is practically normalized. The relative number of (mostly black) trans women murdered in the US every year alone according to statistics and the number of trans women(and just LGBTQ+ in general of course) that are homeless [in the US and Britain alone] mirror aspects of historical moments that reflect the worst things human beings are capable of.
