In Missouri, a Black transgender woman was found stabbed to death in her home last week in what is believed to be a hate crime. Twenty-eight-year-old Nina Pop is at least the 10th victim of an anti-trans murder this year. Transgender rights groups are renewing calls for Missouri lawmakers to pass legal protections for LGBTQ residents, including the Missouri Nondiscrimination Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected groups in the Missouri Human Rights Act but has failed to pass the state Legislature for over 20 years.
