There is a CURIOUS OMISSION in the coverage of the murder of Brianna Ghey, in both the NYT and Washington Post.

Neither paper's story included any of the transphobic messages Brianna's teenage killers, obscuring the way her trans identity allowed them to dehumanize her and made her more vulnerable than other young people who encountered the pair.

These messages were central to most other stories about this murder, and their omission is glaring. #trans #news
