- By

CeCe McDonald
McDonald is a definitive example of a trans woman of color who had to fight for her life. Instead of becoming a tragic victim of violence, she’s become a hero! She was pursued and attacked viciously by older white men and decided to fight back to save herself and her friends’ lives. She stabbed one of the men to death. She was quickly charged with second-degree murder and put in a men’s prison. She spent 41 month’s in prison before being released after serving time for self-defense from a racist, transphobic hate crime. Free CeCe is a documentary being made in honor of her.
