Mental illness is not a protected class.
Besides he was going to suicide sooner or later anyway.

Histrionic, exhibitionistic, and probably coming on to unsuspecting hetero males to see how good their act holds up. What could possibly go wrong.

To be fair that community should be in mental institutions, not parading streets.
The body of a black transgender woman was recovered from a torched car in Clewiston, Florida, last week. According to the Human Rights Campaign, Bee Love Slater is the 18th transgender woman to be killed in 2019.
Hendry County investigators identified 23-year-old Slater several days after recovering her body from her burned vehicle, CBS Fort Myers affiliate WINK reports. Captain Susan Harelle said the body was burned beyond recognition.
The investigation is ongoing and the Sheriff's Office said it could not be confirmed as a hate crime until a clear motive is found. But Love's best friend, Kenard Wade, said Slater was targeted as a member of the LGBTQ community.
According to Wade, Slater had received threats the night of the fire. She told him over text that she wanted to leave town to avoid trouble.
"Bee love was kind to everyone she came in contact with and her presence touched me for just the four months that I shared with her was amazing!" Dezmond Bass, who helped coordinate Slater's candlelight vigil, wrote on Facebook.
Slater's death highlights an ongoing trend of violence against transgender people. Slater is the 18th known transgender woman to be murdered this year, the HRC said. Last year, at least 26 transgender people were killed; in 2017, that number reached a record high of at least 29 deaths.
Florida's hate crime laws do not specifically support transgender individuals and there are no protections at the federal level. The Trump administration continues to roll back key safeguards for the LGBTQ community.
"Our society needs to work to ensure transpeople can live without fear," The ACLU of Florida said Thursday.
The week of Slater's death, 17-year-old Bailey Reeves, a transgender woman from Baltimore, was shot and killed on Labor Day. It was the fifth shooting of the night, police said.
