Deaths in Memphis

Posted by on 01/5/09 12:36 AM

There is a diarist at Daily Kos who has written about the high incidence of murder of African American trans women.

Queerty (tongue in cheerk) predicts Memphis will reach out to the trans community as a result. I doubt it. They’re 2nd in homicides in the country, which means everyone - not just trans people - have been victims of violence (via Grand Divisions).

What a way to start a new year.

As if to send me on my way to North Carolina, this bizarre news from Tennessee: legislation has been introduced to require death certificates for dead foetuses.

Can we possibly get these people with too much time on their hands to feed hungry kids or something? I guess the legislators in Tennessee are perfectly happy with the state placing 41st out of 50 for education.

Please, Rep. Campfield, work for your money, would you?
