Trans panic in the modern era.erininthemorning.comKilling of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court RulesThe case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.” 972113746
