After emotion, place for justice. While the murder of a 16-year-old transgender girl has prompted many tributes in several major cities across the country, two 15-year-old teenagers – a young man and a young woman – were charged on Wednesday.
The body of the victim, Brianna Ghey, stabbed to death, was found on Saturday in a park in Culchet near Liverpool in the northwest of England. Investigators are still trying to determine if the young woman was killed because she was transgender.

Before knowing if transphobia was proven, hundreds of people gathered in Liverpool, Bristol and even in London. Videos posted on social media showed people chanting slogans like “Trans rights are a human right!” »
“Protect trans youth! », « Justice for Brianna! “, could we read on the signs held up by some, while others hold striped flags in the colors of the LGBT + community.
