New Story: The Murder Scene of Transgender Activist Terrianne Summers

Posted on April 17, 2016 | Leave a comment

Click below to read the full story.

Royall calls Day Avenue a “significant place in transgender culture.” She drives by regularly. “I feel embarrassed to be trans. If people call me ‘he,’ I don’t correct them.”

Summers' Day 5

The Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office cold case file calls Terrianne “he.” Neighbors called her much worse.

When Royall was a child, she says, “I would argue with God in my mind, telling him if he didn’t make me a girl, I’d stop believing in him.”

Summers' Day 9
