“Pretty Little Liars” Has Now Killed More Queer and Trans Women Than Any Other TV Show

When you really shake Pretty Little Liars down to its core, the storytelling crutch it has leaned on again and again is: pinning a bunch of mysterious nefarious actions on an underdeveloped queer or trans woman and then murdering her.

“Orange is the New Black” Episode 413 Review: “Toast Can’t Never Be Bread Again”

“These women are angry, and rightfully so. They aren’t treated like humans. Their lives are taken away from them, sometimes literally, and they don’t even have names. They tried a peaceful protest and someone was killed. Their riot is righteous, but at the end of the day, they’re going to be the ones punished. There is no justice.”
