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

21 years later trans people in DC don't have to worry about being denied medical care, we have housing and work protections. Current council races have issues like providing housing credit to trans people because we are disproportionately unhoused. It's not perfect, but Tyra Hunter's death moved public opinion in favor of trans protection. #TransHistory #pride
