Wow that's awful.

Just reading the title made me freeze up.

That poor man, his poor loved ones.

This is beyond fucking awful. I have no words.

...Can there be a warning on this, please D:

moonshaz June 13 2012, 18:51:27 UTC

Yes, sounds like a very good idea.

ruby_chalice June 13 2012, 19:48:52 UTC

Agreed. That's incredibly distressing.

I figured the headline would be warning enough, but I'll make the cut text a warning if that's okay?

I'm a bit confused, did this person identify as male or as female?

kitanabychoice June 13 2012, 19:48:37 UTC

I'm not sure that part actually matters?

teacoat June 13 2012, 19:59:33 UTC

You don't think it matters to refer to someone as the gender they identified as? Particularly if that was (part of) the very reason they were killed?
