#them highlighting it was trans day of rememberance and that a trans person was killed alright

[menalez]

I don’t mean to detract from this person’s death at all because ofc it’s still a tragedy but why has op made a post about the one (1) trans person’s death we know of, as if it’s somehow different or worse than all the other deaths? https://at.tumblr.com/azuremist/one-of-the-victims-of-the-gay-club-mass-shooting/hvx93jmrawwe

im fine with them highlighting one of the victims but im bothered by the fact that another one of the named victims was his coworker, also a bartender at Club Q, and was seemingly a gay man is being ignored in the meantime.

but ig even tho when they’re next to each other you wouldn’t be able to tell daniel is trans (esp keep in mind this shooting only lasted a couple of minutes from what i read) people are clearly already trying to erase the gay victims of a homophobic hate crime and treat it like a targeted attack on trans ppl specifically. THAT i take issue with.
