Trans advocate Monica Roberts, who blogs regularly at Transgriot , reported on Friday that a year-old transgender woman named Monica Loera was murdered on January 22, in Austin, Texas. It took several days for the community to realize that Loera was a trans woman because initial police and media reports used her former name and male pronouns to refer to her. Unfortunately, this scenario is far too common. Media outlets routinely misgender transgender people who have been victimized by violence. GLAAD has a resource for journalists called "Doubly Victimized," which details best practices for fairly and accurately reporting on trans people who've been victims of crime. We're also reaching out to media outlets in Austin, offering them the "Doubly Victimized" resource and asking them to update their stories. We're also asking that they write follow-up stories telling Monica's true story and discussing the epidemic of violence faced by trans women - particularly trans women of color.

Monica Dejesus-Anaya , known by the stage persona Monica Beverly Hillz , is an American reality television personality and transgender activist, originally known for appearing on season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race. She was the second contestant in the show's history to come out as a transgender woman on the show, after Sonique in season 2 who came out during the show's reunion special. Hillz coming out was historic as it was a first for network television.
