And in crime news, via the Chicago Tribune:
News of the stabbing had one leader of an advocacy group calling the incident emblematic of how quickly violence can affect the trans community.
Isa Noyola, transgender activist and Director of the Border Butterfly Project, pointed to the wider political climate and lack of violence prevention resources as an overarching reason the situation happened in the first place.
The situation, since you ask, was one in which Mr Kelly Day, a cross-dressing man, aged 32, stabbed to death a fifty-year-old stranger named Larry Young. Such was the vigour of the attack, Mr Young was stabbed no fewer than thirteen times – in the head, neck and shoulder – with the tip of the knife breaking off and remaining embedded in his skull.
Mr Young, the party being stabbed to death, was, one might conclude, rather more directly affected by the incident than some notional trans community.
