Description

Diamond Stephens, a 39 year-old black transgender woman, was found shot to death in her home in Meridian, MS on June 18.

"As is too often the case in the reporting of anti-transgender violence, Stephens was originally -- and continues to be -- misgendered in local police statements and media reports."
