aquus:odofemi:This is Sumaya Ysl, a TWOC friend of mine found murdered at her apartment yesterday. She was really sweet and funny, and a sex worker. She was a much loved part of Toronto’s Ballroom scene. According to the information going around, she took home a man (possibly a client) from the bar Saturday night, and was found murdered the next day. I can’t believe this is happening. I feel sick.I literally cannot believe what I’m reading now. I cannot believe another one of us is dead and still there is no outcry for justice. There is no movement. This is where the movements for social justice for people of color, transgender people, and sex workers all intersect and we’re just going to keep on keeping on like there aren’t almost a dozen trans women dead in two months. A dozen trans women were killed in all of 2014. It is not even March. Y’all could wake up and I could be dead in a week. Rest in power, Sumaya, your execution is going to mean something. -- source link
