The Gwen Araujo story is what I read that first got me thinking about this whole issue in the first place. I won't lie and say I don't understand being mad about the deception, but I really hope "trans-panic" doesn't end up being a legit excuse for killing or violence. I think someone has every right to feel upset and deceived and perhaps violated, but that's a miserably bad justification for being allowed to get away with murder. If your wife tells you she's cheating on you, you'd probably feel the same way, but you'd get convicted of murder 2 every time for killing her. This shouldn't be any different.
