You know, sometimes you realize how dark the world is. You think, because I know the darkest reaches it gets to, then nothing can phase me. I am used to hearing about news of violence against Trans people. It is nothing new in my world. It is sad when you read about it. And it will always move me to tears. I don't mean that in halfhearted manner. I cry every time I see some sort of Transphobic violence in any media outlet. But do you know when it hurts the most? When it is someone I know or close to someone I know. Many of you who from UA know Jay. My lil trans brother. He's a great kid. And if you read my LJ you realize he is always there for me. Well, someone close to him passed in a senseless act of trans violence. I am going to let him tell you about her. This is the best I can do for Rachel.
