"Woman is found strangled in home
A woman has been found strangled at an address in south-east London.
Police found the transsexual's body in Leander Road, Thornton Heath, on Wednesday evening, officers have revealed.
Detectives believe it is 40-year-old Kellie Telesford, who was formerly known as Kayiode Dexter Telesford."
I am sorry to hear of this incident.
What annoys me is the headline states a Woman found, why then do they have to go on then and inform everyone she was a TS. I think this really just shows that even when a member of the TG community is murdered or involved in any criminal act the media cannot resist but to state this fact that has no bearing on the case.
I remember a case in Edinburgh where a womans body was found in a local park. The media were all concerned until they found out that the poor person was a TV and had taken their own life. Then it was a tranny kills himself story.....suddenly the sympathy turned to basically ridicule. It seems that because they are TG it is less of a concern.
This shows that TG acceptance still has a long way to go.
