    I just received confirmation that a Black Trans Woman, Miss Tee Tee, was found murdered today in Atlanta, GA. #TransFolksAreNotJokes

        This comes on the tail-end of Duval's horrific interview on @breakfastclubam where the co-hosts laughed at the killing of trans women.

        Do you all see why we take this so seriously? These jokes are a reality for far too many trans women.

        Just saying, they didn't laugh. Duval said his ignorance and all them of them said you can't say that and char said it's a hate crime.

        Char laughed when duval said something ignorant but having nothing to do with violence. The killing statement was not met with laughter.

        Those ignorant sentiments directly result in violent ideaologies. It's suspicious that you are so quick to defend instead of listen.

        I'm clearly not defending any of the statements. Just clarifying so misinformation isn't spread.

        You've done a horrible job thus far. All you've proven is nothing, but the established fact they laughed, and tacitly incited violence.

        Because they live in impoverished areas so they're more likely to get killed

        This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry & I hope things get better. Just be true to yourself and focus on the good things in life. Don't despair.
