Life as a transgender woman wasn't easy for Anthony Trent. Known as "Tyra," the 25-year-old told family she was sometimes attacked on the street just because of the way she looked.
"He was a very bold person – he wasn't scared to show or flaunt his lifestyle," said cousin and close friend Correll Trent, 18. "People told him all the time, if this is the way you want to live, we can't stop you. But be careful, watch yourself."
Recently, she had been jumped on the street and beaten up, losing a tooth in the attack.
"He came home and cried that day," Correll said.
On Saturday, someone wandered into a vacant city-owned home in the 3300 block of Virginia Ave. in Northwest Baltimore and found Trent's body in the basement. She had no identification and no cell phone, but an autopsy revealed that she had been asphyxiated. City homicide detectives are investigating the case.

Its bad enough to be prejudiced but to attack someone on the street over their looks and then there's actually a murder? Society is so backwards and regressive here.

They'll probably not make the effort to find the murderer or set them free, like the legal system typically does for trans murders...

Sad

RIP to the poor girl but do we really need another thread about the great tranny-holy-war for acceptance?

Do we really need Pomona mocking the real existence of intolerance and bigotry in his attempt to be cool by being as antisocial as possible?

tgirls are like diamonds in the sand there are a lot of females and gays but far fewer tgirls so they have to be cherished because they are so rare

You sarcastically said that, troll boy, and I know you are stupid but there is a victim, this isn't empty rhetoric. A person is dead because of the societal cancers of bigotry and intolerance, very real phenomenon. I know, I know, you secretly love it :fu:.

I dated Tyra and a few other transexuals in Baltimore.

Baltimore city especially downtown Baltimore is a very dangerous place to live and work for transgenders.

Sad
The "solve rate" for all murders is only 30%.

The thing with Baltimore is that it's just plain dangerous for anyone, tgirl or other girl as this poor girl:

Tyra might have been killed for who she was but there are so many other faceless victims of crime here in Baltimore and no one seems to give a damn. Only the families cry for them,, no one else does.
