    I’m not qualified or familiar enough to do a root cause analysis. What you say sounds and matches my own suspicions. It wouldn’t be the first case of someone with un- or poorly-treated health issues snapping. I don’t know if this is the whole story here and I don’t want to speculate too much.

    Either way, I find it disgustingly disrespectful to slap “trans” in every fucking headline and cite the RCMP saying “…identified as female”. The spokesperson referred to her as female in his update, so why the fuck are the journalists that clearly saw that conference and are reporting on it not doing the same?

    But if this lack of recognition contributed (again, I agree that it probably did), then broadcasting “we don’t give a fuck about your pain” isn’t gonna help people grappling with the question “then why should I give a fuck about yours?”

    It would be respectful and pragmatic to refer to her as… well, “her”.
