The wages of sin?

There's deception, and there's deception.

It's a bad thing to find out that someone you've slept with has lied to you about their past. Especially if the knowledge which was kept from you would have prevented you from sleeping with this person. It's painful and hurtful and all that. But that doesn't give anyone the right to kill.

So, Mx. Prosecutor, whose side are you on, anyway? The wages of her sin of deception was death? That's not very convincing. She didn't sin by keeping the secret of her past. She kept that secret because she knew if she was out she would be ostracized by these bigots at best, or else attacked or killed-- and her suspicions were proven correct. She was brutally slain, in cold blood, because those guys couldn't see a transgendered person as a human being capable of suffering, not because she kept a secret from them.

This will never stop unless people, we, are able to get it out into the public consciousness that no one is going to condone murder of a transgendered person no matter what stupid excuse the murderer comes up with: "Oh, they lied to me" is not acceptable, neither is "I was in shock and didn't know what I was doing."
