Family, we lost another one of our Black trans sisters last Wednesday. On June 29, Kitty Monroe was shot by her ex at her Memphis apartment after a dispute erupted when she asked him to leave. After it got physical, he claimed she pulled her firearm on him. To which he then drew his gun and shot her 6 times. No word on whether they will charge him with a hate crime? In other news, Bette Midler & Macy gray sipping on a tall glass of trans hater-ade with their latest comments on transgender people.
