Bernie Sanders on violence against the transgender community

33. It's a huge issue in Texas.

Texas leads the nation in transgender murders. After the latest attack, the Dallas trans community asks why


Robyn “Pocahontas” Crowe’s family is shrinking.

In May, her granddaughter was found dead in Far East Dallas, her body marred by a single gunshot wound. Less than two weeks later, police discovered her cousin’s body in White Rock Lake. She had been strangled and beaten.

Like Crowe, both Muhlaysia Booker and Chynal Lindsey were black transgender women. The three do not share a blood bond. But they came together through experience, forming a chosen family.

Crowe is still grieving their deaths. Then, on Sept. 20, another transgender woman of color, a Latina, was shot on a northwest Dallas street. The attacks have many trans Texans asking, why does this keep happening to us?
