In Cleveland: Trans Woman found dead in a Pond



The body of transgender woman was found in a pond near Cleveland this week.

Cemia “Ci Ci” Dove was brutally murdered. She was stabbed and tossed in the pond with a rope around her waist, tied to a concrete block. She was missing for a month.

This is just one of the many deaths we have within the transgender community. Many of our trans family are murdered brutally, it's a sad reality.

And it's also sad how the media continues to get these stories wrong. A lot of time, they report the incidents using the wrong info, name or gender.

TransGriot gives great advice to journalists on how to report trans stories. Monica also share more info on Cemia and outreach in the Cleveland.

I hope they can find her murderer, Cemia's death should not go unsolved.
