In the early morning hours of Oct 4th 2002 four men, who were hosting a house party in a quiet Newark, CA suburb, took part in the slaying of a 17yr old girl. They would beat, strangle, and eventually kill Gwen Araujo for the crime of being born in the wrong body. In this episode we look at the life of Gwen and the community that she grew up in. We also discuss some of the history of the fight for Trans Rights here in California.
