I’m sorry but as a British person who has been following this case since it happened, this piece made me incredibly angry.

Cheapening her life and murder by saying that people / the media are ‘fetishing’ it, in the ‘same way as serial killers’, is disgusting.

You have no idea what Britain is like, and the fight her family and activists had to obtain justice for this little girl.

I’m not hesitant to blame anyone else; Brianna was murdered because anti trans hatred and as a direct result, hate crimes, have been normalised in the UK. There is a direct correlation between the media campaign of hatred against trans people and year on year increases in material violence.

Turning this into yet another vehicle and soapbox for Autostraddle’s anti-carceral politics is extremely disrespectful and incredibly upsetting.

I’m not sure I can read this website anymore.
