Brianna Ghey was a loved, talented 16-year-old girl with her life ahead of her. She was also trans, and suffered transphobia hatred. Almost exactly a year ago, she was brutally murdered, and the two young killers have been sentenced. Crucially, the judge acknowledged the role of transphobia in this hideous crime.
