This last Sunday, a real Pokemon fan was brutally murdered in Seattle. Her name was Juniper Blessing.

Her friends describe her as incredibly kind and caring, extremely talented and with a real love of Pokemon.

Her favorite Pokemon were Maractus, Pachirisu and Ninetales.

In her honor my buddy is named For Juniper and is a Pachirisu I caught last summer. If you'd like, I encourage you to do the same

Let's not forget such a sweet girl who loves Pokemon as much if not more so than most of us.

Today the King County medical examiners released the name and the tragic circumstances that led to the death of UW student Juniper Blessing.

Juniper was followed and not just killed, she was brutalized. She was stabbed over 40 times, which mirrors violence done to other trans women such at the over 50 stab wounds to Lauren Page, the 28 stab wounds to Brianna Ghey and the 119 stab wounds of Dee Whigham, a black trans woman.

The hate for trans people runs deep even in Seattle. As we stand by our trans sisters and neighbors it's important to recognize just how vulnerable we are and what we face.

Stay safe and stand by your fellow trans people, especially those that are trans women and trans women of color

I know what a fucking panic attack is.

I know what ME is.

I haven't spent 6 fucking years recovering for no goddamn reason
