Several days ago, Fern Feather began hanging out with a man she barely knew. Then, on Tuesday morning, the man claimed that Feather made sexual advances towards him.
Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives, Jill Krowinski, said that Fern Feather was, “tragically taken from this world too soon, like so many other transgender people who are targeted in bias driven attacks."
"This is a murder that impacted Fern and this has ripple effects throughout our communities," said a leader with the Price Center of Vermont's anti-violence program.
