ezs note: One thing that transgender women and men might want to try is self-defense classes. (See the previous day's article, "Kelly Herron slams group using her attack in anti-transgender bathroom campaign".) Yeah, it might be nice to have the police around, but we must be realistic. Some larger cities and towns offer classes at a very low or no cost to you.

2 Transgender Women Killed in New Orleans Within 48 Hours: Police

Chyna Gibson and Ciara McElveen

ezs note: Sadly, yet another transgender woman has been murdered. Her name was Ciara McElveen. While I have no doubt that members of the New Orleans Police Department do their work very hard, it all seems so bootless. Transgender women do have a right to attend concert, go to a bar, restaurant, or coffeeshop, or just enjoy an evening stroll without suffering the, ahem, annoyance of being raped or murdered. Can we see what might be done more proactively? Thanks.
