Now I'm not gonna' judge this person, but God made no mistakes in his gender identity. Being a woman will not make your life better; you are born what you're supposed to be. Now he's shortened his lifespan trying to be what he was not intended to be.

Transgender Woman Chay Reed Killed In Miami

Posted On April 24, 2017 By Keith Reid-Cleveland In News Flash /

Chay Reed, 28, was shot and killed in Miami, Fla. this past Friday, making her the ninth reported homicide victim of 2017 who was a transgender woman of color.
Mic reports that Reed was a beloved member of the community and many of her friends are grieving the tragic loss.
“She was a light, always trying to make everyone around her happy,” said Patina Peterson, a longtime friend of Reed. “I don’t even remember her getting into anything. I don’t remember seeing her in an altercation out there with anybody in a bad way. I’ve never seen that.”
Some of Reed’s friends are reportedly planning to hold a vigil for her at the sight of her murder.
“I just wish things would’ve gone differently,” said Jadan Miorke, who had known Reed since 2006. “Just seems like nowadays being transgender is dangerous as a whole.”
Both Peterson and Miorke claim that Reed loved to dance, which was among many other things she enjoyed that made her special.
