What's with that creepy chain? If they were putting up a missing poster they should also include photos of when he was presenting as male, because who knows what kind of conditions he could be in if he's lost or dead in a ditch somewhere. He might have lost that dollar store wig or found a new one, who knows. Or grown out his beard...
That's one reason why these missing posters of homeless troons come off more as virtue signaling than actually trying to locate a lost person...
Not quite the same thing, but interesting all the same. There is a Jane Doe in Florida, “
Julie Doe,” that has been unidentified for over 35 years. Turns out “she” was a post op MTF found badly decomposed. Those are several of the reasons why no one has successfully identified him yet. “Julie’s” corpse was literally thought to be a (heavily worked on) female’s until DNA testing was performed a decade ago.
Jane Doe cases this old are hard as fuck to solve as it is. There are exceptions where the women are finally given back the names that were stolen from them decades earlier. I doubt we’ll ever know his real name given the circumstances. And yet, even in death people only know that Julie was really Julio. Those archaeology memes aren’t really such.
Frustratingly, some of the people trying to identify him think that learning his (birth) name is no bueno:
DNA Doe Project volunteers Lee and Anthony Redgrave founded The Trans Doe Task Force to advocate for unidentified victims who were transgender or gender non-conforming. The pair voiced concern that genetic genealogy research may reveal a decedent's birth and/or legal name, but may not provide what title the individual preferred during life. One of the task force's goals is to research, following an identification, how the subject identified to prevent deadnaming.[11]
Yeah, this case is definitely going nowhere. How dare someone deadname a person without a name for decades by identifying them by their legal name. That’s only good to do when it’s not a troon, you know. Troons deserve special treatment!
If currently missing troon is found dead in a bayou or on the side of the road, it’s going to be real fun for those poor investigators long before his ungrateful buddies throw “IT’S ABIGAIL YOU TRANSPHOBES” at them. We’ve all seen how troons love to parade other troon’s corpses around as propaganda even when the dead died in an accident or suicide. They’ll find a way to blame the police/society for this even if troon just wanted to end it all back at home. At least those face tats should provide easy identification if he’s found.
Still a lose/lose for the investigators if he’s found alive. His buddies would still yell “IT’S ABIGAIL YOU TRANSPHOBES” to the poor guy that just used the legal name to announce their friend is safe. It’s never enough for troons.
