Eventually they did load her into an ambulance and took her to a hospital. At the hospital the abuse continued when the surgeon in the ER refused to care for her as well. An hour after her car accident she was declared dead. An investigation into her death said that with proper medical care she had a 90% chance of survival. Tyra Hunter was murdered. #TransHistory #Pride

Her family filed suit against the ambulance and hospital (dead naming and misgendering her in the court filings), and the people and institutions that killed her were found at fault and fined millions of dollars. But it didn't stop there. Trans advocates moved to make sure this never happened again, pressuring the DC city council to pass medical protections for trans people. #TransHistory #Pride
