'Manhunt' underway after trans woman shot dead in parked car. She was just 25

Miia Love Parker, a model described as a “brilliant light” who loved puppies and Pose, was found shot in the Philadelphia suburb of Chester, Pennslyvania on 1 April.

Friends rushed her to a nearby hospital where she passed away from her injuries, according to CBS Philadelphia.

The City of Chester Police Department said that at around 3:30am, Parker was shot in a vehicle parked on the 1900 block of Chestnut Street in Delaware County.

Officers identified 38-year-old Saad Najeed Dwight as a suspect. He is considered armed and dangerous by the authorities.

While his motivation for the alleged killing remains unknown at the time of writing, he faces a lengthy rap sheet with charges including criminal homicide, third-degree murder, and possession of a firearm not to be carried without a license.

I don't care what others say. Being a transgender woman in this current day is a death sentence to most and I'm not gonna be one that is a statistic. I wish this shit would end. But it won't. Another beautiful person gone because of some asshole who should be in prison with that type of record

Rest in peace, Miia.

This is why the "othering" upsets me so much. Chappelle's "comedy". Vilifying Lia Thomas. The QOP's hatred. The "I'm just asking questions" by posting shit claiming doctors are convincing people they're trans. I say it, time and time again.. I'll keep saying it. When you dehumanize someone, some dumb trigger-happy goon is going to think it's okay to hurt or kill them. "They're a lesser lifeform. They're not even a person!"

The increased attacks upon vulnerable communities is no coincidence. This happens every. damn. time. When the QOP goes off and introduces over 300 bigoted bills in less than 4 months, and uses loaded words like "grooming", it just makes people think it's okay to harm and kill trans people.

When does it stop?
