1. So Sad
The world will miss you Sonia.

Will be interested in finding out what the Murderesses motives were. Personal or just can't stand gender non-conformity.

2. It does not go unnoticed that the headline focused on allegations she was a paid sex worker...
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 09:10 AM by FreepFryer
...because (of course) such a scurrilous allegation/personal detail is far more important than any of his/her accomplishments in life.

A horrible incident and an unbelievable loss.

And we'll all be waiting for any details about the alleged murderer's motive.

Above all it's a shame the headline had to go so far off-topic as to call her an 'escort' - pure ratings salaciousness and posthumous character assassination.

6. I think David/Sonia identified both as male and as female - hence the his/her. Not disrespect. (n/t)

3. What the hell?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

The murder of trans women, especially sex workers and street-involved women, is an epidemic.
