Transgender woman faces two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation.

A Wyoming transgender woman is facing two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation she says began with anti-LGBTQ+ and a

Ríhanna Kelver, a bartender and trans rights advocate in Laramie, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent after a 13 September 2025 confrontation outside the Crowbar & Grill, whereshe worked. Kelver could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted on both charges.

Kelver says one man in a group of men across the street from her started shouting homophobic and transphobic insults at her before the man allegedly shoved her to the ground in a downtown crosswalk, as reported by The Laramie Reporter.

There's more, as it pertains to Black trans people's right to self-defence:

Despite Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” statute, which allows people to use reasonable force in moments of self defense, Kelver faces up to 15 years in prison for both charges, as well as up to $11,000 in fines, per Cowboy State Daily. Kelver faces an additional year and $1,000 fine for a charge of interference with a peace officer. [...]

As pointed out by Slate, self-defense laws are often put into question when people from marginalized communities, especially trans people, use them, including Cece McDonald, a Black trans woman who served time in a men’s prison for defending her friends during a racist and transphobic attack. Ky Peterson, a Black trans man from Georgia, was also arrested and imprisoned for killing his rapist in self-defense.

Lmao I just went to the TV Tropes page for Obsession and I love this bit of trivia

“Hey man, your main character isn’t sympathetic enough, could you fix that?”

“Okay sure, I’ll make him MORE unsympathetic since you idiots missed the point”

NIKKI FREEMAN — 2026, OBESSION // dir. Curry Baker

[nessa007]

"Preparing [for the role of Nikki] was really fun. We got to watch a lot of fun movies, and kind of pick and choose, like a puzzle, what we wanted in the film. Moments that we took inspiration from, and made them our own." — Inde Navarrette for Fandango "We watched Get Out, and focused on a lot of the moments where characters are showing an emotion underneath but saying something completely different [on the surface], and how horrific that is. There's a scene where [Nikki] is saying, "no", and there is a [similar] scene in Get Out [which we took inspiration from]." — Inde Navarrette for A Shot Magazine Obsession (2026) Dir.

if i think too hard about nikki’s experience in Obsession i feel physically ill. imagine one second you’re just walking up to your house after a night out, and then the next, you’re looking out of your own body, but you’re not longer in control. you’re a prisoner to a terrible, unnatural version of yourself that only exists because of a choice someone else made. when you scream, nobody listens. when you claw your way out for long enough to explain that this isn’t you, nobody listens. when you beg the man who trapped you in this situation to put and end to it, to set your free, he just. doesn’t. listen. and then when you do finally regain control, all your friends are dead, and you are covered in their blood. because of a choice someone else made

the thing about obsession is that I already knew men were capable of great violence, even the ones that you think you can trust, the ones you feel closest to, the ones you think are good people. at the end of the day, oftentimes, their desire to possess you overrides everything else. to me, the saddest takeaway of the movie is that nikki truly had nobody. all her friends saw her acting oddly, they all saw her break down at the party and try to smash her head in with a bottle. they all saw bear taking advantage of her mental state. and still nobody else stepped in. maybe they didn't think anything was wrong, I don't know, but more likely, it was just easier for them to look the other way and lie to themselves that everything would be okay. maybe tell themselves that she'd turn them away if they did try to help. because to try to help would be to experience discomfort and nobody ever wants to put themselves through that. it made me think of real life and how women in abusive relationships become so isolated - partially due to fault of their abuser, of course, but also because most people have the mindset of "not my business" and "too much trouble". which sure, applies sometimes, but when its your closest friend it IS your business. they could see she was going through something, but its always easier to talk about them behind their back and pretend you've shown concern, that you're a good person for "caring", rather than actually make an effort to help - which most times is ugly and difficult but is the right thing to do.

sadly, sarah and ian's actions rang very true to real life. ian said a few perfunctory words to bear about 'how its wrong' which made no difference at all, but he could pat himself on the back and sleep easy at night after doing so. sarah ended up making it about herself, telling bear "that he didn't deserve nikki putting her troubles on him" (paraphrasing) and suggested that he'd be better off with her, although she knew that nikki didn't have feelings for bear and a blind person could see that something fishy was going on. yet she took the easy way out and pretended she was caring about bear while being unbearably selfish.

maybe they could have helped her - maybe she would have snapped out for a moment and they would have realized what was wrong, maybe they could have forced bear to tell them, maybe they wouldn't have been able to change anything. but it is so sad that they didn't even try.

worse, we know nikki is someone who's there for other people, as evidenced by the dialogue early-on where bear tells Ian she was the one who showed up and took care of him when his grandmother died. yet, when it came down to it, nobody showed up for her. she was failed in every way and this frightens me, because I wonder how many of my friends will look past their own discomfort to come help me if I was ever in a similar situation.

I made a post like an hour ago about stuff I haven't seen mentioned much in the tags of the movie and this post reminded me of another one: when she screams at the party and starts smashing her face into the table, everyone's yelling at Bear to take her to the hospital and they're calling him all sorts of insults because he's just sitting there staring, but... why don't they take her to the hospital? If I saw one of my friends get so hurt and their partner wasn't doing anything I'd take it upon myself to take them to the ER. They just yell at him until he finally gets her into the car. It's an easy way to make it look like you're concerned without actually taking any steps to help
