Brianna Ghey had family support, friends, and a popular TikTok account. These support systems are crucial but even they can’t withstand the cruel, public attacks on trans livelihood. These “debates” over our humanity have deadly consequences.

Brianna rightfully holds significant media attention during this troubled time. But she was not the only trans teen killed recently. Just in the U.S., Ariyanna Mitchell, Katie Newhouse, and trans siblings Jeffrey "JJ" Bright and Jasmine Cannady - all trans youth of color - lost their lives to violence. Every one of their names should be remembered in the fight to end trans dehumanization.
