Luan was a 17-year-old trans boy. When authorities recovered his body, injuries to his neck and face, blood, burns and preliminary forensic observations pointed to severe violence before his death.
Firefighters had extinguished flames in the field before Luan was discovered face down and partially undressed. Police documented possible drag marks and tire marks nearby and collected a sandal, necklace and phone-charger cable from the area. Those physical traces became part of the homicide investigation, but the available record did not determine whether Luan died at that location or was brought there afterward.
In the days that followed, Civil Police sought surveillance footage and information about vehicles that may have traveled near the area. Rain had affected portions of the scene, adding another obstacle to efforts to preserve and examine potential evidence. No suspect had emerged in the latest verified reporting.
All of these religious people who say horrible shit about trans people and make their lives hell embolden and enable this sort of violence, then try to wash their hands of it: “Oh, well, we just didn’t want them to use certain bathrooms or read stories, we love Jesus and didn’t want this.” Fucking hypocritical assholes. All of Christianity is a cesspool of uncompassionate illogical dross.
Jesus fucking Christ
Seriously. The world really could use some hippie love right about now. Live and let live.
Know what, fuck that. The people who do this don’t have an ounce of love for their fellow man. They deserve what they dish out.
Are allies gonna start speaking up for trans masculine people and trans men because if not then I don’t care anymore. People forget that trans masculine people and men grow up dealing with misogyny and violence too and it never goes away for most but you only ever hear about trans women needing protection and I’m sick of it.
Every trans person needs protection from these psychopaths
No shit. Some trans people don’t even get counted in the statistics because they get labeled as a femicide when it’s a trans masculine person. We never hear as much support for trans masculine people as we do for trans women. Way to water down what I just said.
It disgusts me that there are people that can do this to someone and go about their lives normally afterward
It’s the banality of evil.
Never forget what they are inside
Never forget they often claim to be Christian.
They ARE Christian. The peace love joy shit was always a lie.
Man, you really don’t wanna know the statistics on how many murders actually get solved…
They walk among us.
Most of them wear suits and kill thousands.
All those flock cameras and ALPRs weren’t about protecting the children if you can’t find cars dragging a child out on the streets then right
This is devastating. It’s scary to think how this all happened.
Rest peacefully x
There’s no peaceful rest, just the eternal silence of death.
Was that really necessary?
Yes, as it’s the truth. Don’t entertain fantasy to deny reality.
“Rest peacefully” is a nice sentiment, it is not espousing or promoting fantasy to deny reality. Read the room.
yeah you’re an authority huh?
Stop diluting righteous anger with pleasantries.
They’re not resting peacefully, they’re just dead.
Either be fully and justifiably angry at the reality of what has happened, or don’t.
The people who did this don’t deserve to be amongst us.
I appreciate your honesty and integrity.
i’m not diluting shit i’m just as pissed as you are
but i’m also not some edge lord tryna be edgy for fake internet points
you angry? do something about it, get the fuck off the internet, get to the streets and start fixing the problem
otherwise take your pesemistic attitude and fuck right off.
and no one knows what death is like until they’re dead, you and the pope are equal in authority on the subject, no one really knows
Speaking truth is not being edgy.
Says a lot that you think it is.
Here are 5 truths:
They’re dead.
We don’t know what happens after death.
People are miserable and some need hope
If my loved one was lost I would hate to see someone say that they’re nowhere.
You’re being an asshole.
That’s one truth and two opinions at best.
i might get crucified for this but anyway, i don’t understand why we have to spread the word of every trans person who gets murdered
as a trans person, it makes me feel like shit hearing about this all the time and i’m probably not the only one
No, every single one of these souls deserves to be remembered and avenged
Nobody’s making you engage with the world but it isn’t going to stop turning on your behalf. If you feel more comfortable in ignorance then by all means live in it but it’s absurd to suggest that public discourse should cater to your sensibilities.
Because most people think hate crimes are overblown and that lynchings are some obscure relic of the past and not something that still occurs regularly.
Victims of hate crimes deserve their stories being told. If it makes you uncomfortable good, hate crimes should do that.
this is rather insensitive. you’re basically saying that people have a moral obligation to constantly expose themselves to things that make their mental health worse
You do not have the right to remain comfortable. Your comfort should never take priority over the real world, and if it does then your comfort is at the expense of real people’s lives. That is literally the main problem with the society of the imperial core, we care about our comfort so much that it keeps us complacent even during times of genocide.
EDIT: Rephrased for comprehension
what a vile thing to say to a minority
For context since we’re playing that card I’m also trans.
then you should know that we all already are hyperaware of how fucked up the society we live in is, every single one of us are completely aware that this is happening and that a lot of us have mental issues from existing in this hateful society and that this kind of stuff affects some people A LOT more than others, depending on how bad your mental state is to begin with and how empathetic you are
shame on you, seriously. shame on you
This is why I don’t post this news in trans communities. It’s in news comms where we hear of countless horrible things everyday.
Cis people need to hear this and understand that we are an extremely marginalised group suffering hate. We are such a small minority that we can never improve this on our own without them.
Imagine if people went silent on Gaza and stopped posting about all the deaths there. Would that be a good outcome?
Cis people need to know. I feel you though, it fucking sucks
I’d prefer that the world’s campaign against trans people was documented and widely known - but I fully understand where you’re coming from
The world is quantum. We need to pay attention to these atrocities for change to happen. See below for references
I am also asking myself, if it is of any relevance to tell readers, if the person was trans or not. At least at this stage, the motivation for the crime is unknown.
Does this raise awareness, or will the opposite happen? I really can’t tell.
The source is a trans-focused site, so yes it’s relevant to the readers.
Oh, I did not check that. Then yes, super relevant in that case.
