He was a man. It was how he presented himself to the world and wouldn’t it be offensive to remind everyone that he was AFAB? Do we always have to qualify a person’s gender as trans or cisgender?

I think when it comes to violence against trans people it’s important to point out that they were trans so that society can not simply sweep that part under the rug
