Let there be no mistake the death of Lucy Meadows is a tragedy.
At first glance the media may played a roll in this tragedy is apparent. While transphobic media comments and reports often make the lives of transpeople a living hell. We in the trans community often make the lives of transpeople miserable.
I have experienced that disdain from the trans community. Such treatment is perhaps all to common.
Even allies are not above being transphobic and god forbid if you challenge allies on their behaviour.
The death of Lucy Meadows is tragedy. But we failed Lucy, by hearing her pain and doing nothing.
