I don't deny this. Most trans murders are intra-community. So, I am afraid of my community.

They are. Intentional/pre-meditiated. Murder for hire/profit. Accidental, justifiable. Intent

Intent/state of mind is an essential element of Mens rea. It what makes a crime a "fraud".

Aw Brandy... Who hurt you so badly? Was it your parents? Maybe an ex boyfriend? I feel such pity for you.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to be homophobic. But help a girl out... HOW was that homophobic? I honestly don't see it.

“who hurt you? an ex bf?” seeks to humiliate the (presumably) homophobic user by calling to mind the image of him as gay

“who hurt you” is generally insensitive to say due to trauma victims, also. no bad blood, just try to avoid it in the future!

SHE wished death on someone for being trans. I assume she's been hurt and so I pity her. I think you missed something hon.
