As the title suggests, everything on this blog concerns violence against trans women.
The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project is a trans feminist project addressing issues of systematic, institutional and interpersonal violence and oppression experienced by trans women (those who were coercively assigned male at birth and identify or are identified as women/female) across multiple identities (e.g., race, class, dis/ability, citizen-status, nationality, sexuality, age, HIV status, and form, status, or age of transition, etc.)
Ida Hammer is a writer and social justice communicator. She organizes the Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project. She presents workshops and trainings on cis privilege and being a trans ally. She's also involved in organizing against sexualized violence. She's a proud dyke-identified trans woman and an organizer of the New York City Dyke March.
We’ve identified the victim and will be contacting her friends and family shortly. Thank you for everyone who reblogged, and if you think you might know the victim contact me or DCTC for more information.
I’ll try to keep posting as we learn more.
The victim’s name is Deoni Jones.

This is heartbreaking. WTF indeed.
I met her one time at my Father’s Funeral repass, and she was so stunning, and sweet. All I wanted to do was talk to...
of course it’s DC. a-fucking-gain. this makes me so angry. what is wrong with people!?
Sometimes I really hate the world. The worst part about that article is that two other trans women were murdered in 2011...
