US To Execute First Transgender Convict Amber McLaughlin is set to become the first transgender ‘woman’ executed by the US. Unless Missouri Governor Mike Parson grants clemency, McLaughlin will be put to death on Tuesday for the rape and murder of a former girlfriend. Should McLaughlin’s appeal for clemency fail, the 49-year-old will be the first criminal executed by the US this year, and the first transgender person executed in US history. McLaughlin is scheduled to die by lethal injection in Missouri’s execution chamber in the city of Bonne Terre. Biologically male and having gone by the name Scott, McLaughlin raped an ex-girlfriend and stabbed her to death in 2003, having previously been convicted for the rape of a 14-year-old girl in 1992.
