An African-American transgender woman imprisoned for killing a man who reportedly harassed her has been released. Chrishaun “CeCe” McDonald served two-thirds of her 41-month sentence for stabbing Dean Schmitz with a pair of scissors. Supporters say she was defending herself against a group of people who attacked her with a bar glass and hurled transphobic and racist slurs. McDonald was held in a men’s prison, even though she identifies as a woman. McDonald beamed as she left prison, where she was greeted by supporters, including actress Laverne Cox from the series “Orange is the New Black.” In a statement, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force said, “Trans women of color, such as CeCe, face shocking levels of physical violence and discrimination by the police, the courts and the prison system. … Her story should be a wake-up call for our nation.”
