Clash of intersectionality - Syne - May 12, 2026
SEATTLE -- A student at the University of Washington in Seattle was found stabbed to death in a campus housing building, Seattle police said, and now authorities are searching for the killer.
The victim -- a 19-year-old transgender woman -- was found in a laundry room at about 10:10 p.m. Sunday, according to Seattle police.
"The circumstances leading up to the murder are under investigation," police said in a statement on Monday.
Police said "officers are actively searching for the suspect" and they described him as a "black male with a beard, 5'6-8" tall, wearing a vest with button up shirt, and blue jeans." The university added the suspect is believed to be between the ages of 25 and 30 with a slim build and black hair.

So what was the motive? The old "OMG! She has a penis!" surprise?

Could be due to Muslim beliefs, and "stabbing" would certainly be the method if the location were instead the UK. But in the end it might be nothing more than the usual feuding reasons (and grudges and "you owe me $600") that members of the same population group injure or kill each other over. Cooccurrence or clustering of different identities doesn't, in itself, equal a hate crime.
