0 - remember Lauryn PaigeTournament: life | Round: Finals | Opponent: cishets | Judge: mary nardini Lauryn Paige was a trans girl who lived in Travis County, Austin until 1999. She was 18 years old. She liked to express her gender identity openly, but she wasn't allowed to do it at home, so she naturally avoided home. She did sex work with a friend of hers, Dixie. Much of her life was on the streets, living with friends and in motels. She didn't have it easy. She was bullied at her high school, Johnston High. She injected black market estrogen herself without supervision from doctors. She was criminalized by the law, by her family, and by society itself. Even still, she never lost hope. She was passionate, she was optimistic, and she never gave up after all of the oppression she faced. Lauryn was brutally murdered. She was stabbed over 60 times. The stab wounds were so deep that she was nearly decapitated. Quite predictably, this didn't get much coverage. According to the Austin Chronicle (heavily bracketed for their tremendous disrespect), "The murder of Lauryn Paige was the first of 1999 in Austin and a particularly gruesome one at that. For some reason, not much has ever been made of it -- which seems odd. How could it come to pass that a teenage girl would be brutally murdered in Austin, Texas, and no one would even ask why? The answer, though neither polite nor "politically correct," seems simple enough: By living her life openly as a transgender woman, Paige lived outside the parameters of what most of society considers acceptable. Perhaps for society, the easiest way to deal with something so uncomfortable is to not." The article in question was the only one you'll find. Throughout it all, she was misgendered, deadnamed, and painted as worthless. She was a bright light that was extinguished by a world that did not value her life. Remember her. | 8/31/21 |
