Rapper JT is speaking out on behalf of the trans community amid the killing of beloved TikTok star Girlalala, who happened to be a trans woman.

Born Mauric Harrison, the Florida native was known for her beauty and lifestyle videos, as well as her bold personality on TikTok. On Nov. 14, her boyfriend, Shanoyd Whyte Jr., caught the attention of local police while standing in front of a house near 7 p.m., according to The Grio. When cops approached him, he pointed them toward his vehicle. Although they discovered Girlalala alive at that moment, she had been shot several times.

JT says more needs to be done to protect trans women

JT has been vocal about the constant danger trans women live in and the failure to keep them safe.

“NOTHING is funny about a (domestic) violence story,” JT stated via in an Instagram story, according to USA Today.

JT also noted how society does not take domestic violence within the LGBTQ+ community “serious.”

“My heart is broken & these kids or adults may never be protected in a time where everything is moving fast & used as content!” she said, per USA Today. “If you see something say something ! R.I.P GIRLLALA.”

“Rest beautiful girlala! We love you & Heaven will never be boring now that you are there, your boldness, energy, humor & beauty will be missed! You never missed a chance to show me love & for that I’m forever grateful. I’m sorry this happened to you!” JT captioned the clip. “We have to stop thinking things are funny because of the way the story is told! If you see content about DV don’t laugh because it’s a trans or black woman. We have a way of laughing through our pain because we have been shaped to be taken as jokes! #protecttranswomen #protectblackwomen protect feminism as a whole!”

A GoFundMe page has been created in Girlalala’s honor, and it has so far raised nearly $30,000. JT donated $5,000 and has been using her platform to raise awareness about the disproportionate levels of violence trans women face.
