posted Friday, January 22, 2010 - Volume 38 Issue 04 Trans Woman Killed, Media Calls Her MaleAdvocate.com The half-naked body of a 51-year-old trans woman was found last week in a vacant lot in the Montrose area of Houston, Texas. But reports of Myra Ical's death have been salacious at best, with mainstream media referring to Myra as a man, saying the area where her body was found was known by police to be frequented by prostitutes and drug users. The Houston Chronicle reported that Ruben Dario Ical "also went by the name of Myra Chanel Ical" and that "he had numerous bruises and defensive wounds, as if he had struggled against his attacker." full story: http://www.advocate.com/printArticle.aspx?id=105845 |
