A Missouri inmate was put to death Tuesday for a 2003 killing, becoming what is believed to be the first transgender woman executed in the U.S. Amber McLaughlin, 49, was convicted of stalking and killing a former girlfriend, then dumping the body near the Mississippi River. McLaughlin’s fate was sealed earlier Tuesday when Republican Gov. Mike Parson declined a clemency request.

Struggling with gender identity is not an excuse to murder a person, same as most murderers who always have excuses for why they committed murder.
When it comes to trans or gays, just do what I do, ignore them, and pretend like they don't exist. If you have to make contact with one of these creatures, simply pretend they're the gender they assume and suspend your disbelief like you're watching a movie. Because let's be honest, after all, 99.99% of them don't and will never pass as a female post hormone and surgery.
So a male was executed.
You're just transitioning into a skeleton now
PACKWATCH
Keep up the good work… it's a man though.
Cool
Jesus doesn’t support the death penalty. He says to forgive and not judge.
that's what she gets for pretending to be a man.
finally some GOOD news
Lol good
Sexually assaulted victim AFTER THEY DIED.
BUH BYE …
NO ONE SHOULD CARE.
One less freak in the world. Thats a win in my book.
It was a man
Well, it's a start ! Fire up the conveyor belt !!
Obviously identifying as innocent wouldn’t be practical?
Oh thats right because it has to be real and not made up.
Equal rights=equal lefts lol
A criminal is a criminal idc what you identify as!
He will now face even higher justice. Thank God.
I have no hope for this nation.
Correction- HE died.
Oh well ………….🎉
Who would’ve thought we needed more diversity among death row inmates
You have to be human to be a man or a woman. This thing didn't qualify!
His name was Scott, and he was not too great of a person.
Ok???
Leave it to Cori Bush to defend a convicted murderer just because the person is transgender.
A man was executed not a woman! i’m willing to bet my paycheck that he “transitioned” because he thought it would save him from being executed.
😂😂😂😅😅 nobody is safe from America 🇺🇸 justice system
