A transgender girl accused of assaulting two students at a Texas high school alleges that she was being bullied and was merely fighting back

Shocking video shows a student identified by police as Travez Perry violently punching, kicking and stomping on a girl in the hallway of Tomball High School.

The female student was transported to the hospital along with a male student, whom Perry allegedly kicked in the face and knocked unconscious.

According to the police report, Perry - who goes by 'Millie' - told officers that the victim has been bullying her and had posted a photo of her on social media with a negative comment.

One Tomball High School parent whose daughter knows Perry said that the 18-year-old had been the target of a death threat.

'From what my daughter has said that the girl that was the bully had posted a picture of Millie saying people like this should die,' the mother, who asked not to be identified by name, told DailyMail.com.

When Perry appeared in court on assault charges, her attorney told a judge that the teen has been undergoing a difficult transition from male to female and that: 'There's more to this story than meets the eye.'

Perry is currently out on bond, according to authorities.

The video of the altercation sparked a widespread debate on social media as some claim Perry was justified in standing up to her alleged bullies and others condemn her use of violence.

The mother who spoke with DailyMail.com has been one of Millie's most ardent defenders on Facebook.

'I do not condone violence at all. But situations like this show that people now a days, not just kids, think they can post what they want. Or say what they want without thinking of who they are hurting,' she said.

'Nobody knows what Millie has gone through, and this could have just been a final straw for her. That is all speculation of course because I don't personally know her or her family, but as a parent and someone who is part of the LGBTQ community this girl needs help and support, not grown men online talking about her private parts and shaming and mocking her.'

One Facebook commenter summed up the views of many, writing: 'This was brutal, and severe! I was bullied for years and never attacked anyone!'

Multiple commenters rejected the gender transition defense and classified the attack as a male senselessly beating a female.

One woman wrote on Facebook: 'This person will get off because they're transitioning. This is an animal. She kicked, and stomped, and beat...not okay. Bullying is not acceptable, but kicking someone in the head. Punishment doesn't fit the crime.'

CARBONDALE — A year into a legal battle with the Illinois Department of Corrections, Strawberry Hampton, a transgender inmate who alleges she's been abused at state men's prisons — including Menard and Pinckneyville — has been transferred to a women's facility.

A news release from the Uptown People’s Law Center and the MacArthur Justice Center, both of which have been handling Hampton’s case, said that “within the past week, IDOC quietly moved Ms. Hampton from Dixon, one of four men’s prisons where she has been incarcerated and subjected to abuse, to Logan prison, in Lincoln.”

Hampton sued IDOC in January seeking the transfer to a women's facility, where she argued she'd be less vulnerable to the sexual assault, taunting and beatings she says she experienced in male prisons.

Last month, a federal judge filed a preliminary injunction in Hampton’s suit against IDOC, granting her request to attend a support group while she is segregated from the general prison population. The judge also said IDOC must follow up in two weeks with ways it will better educate corrections officers on transgender rights.

Sheila Bedi of the MacArthur Justice Center said Hampton’s transfer was directly linked to the judge’s order last month. She said it was also important to note that the decision was only related to Hampton — it didn’t make any sweeping policy changes for IDOC.

“There are dozens of other women who are in her position and to our knowledge, the IDOC has done nothing to address the systemic failures that create the abuse and discrimination transwomen endure while in IDOC custody,” she said in an email Thursday.

Federal data from 2016 indicates there were no transgender inmates housed in Illinois' women's prisons, while there were 28 transgender inmates in Illinois' 24 men's prisons.

Lindsey Hess, an IDOC spokeswoman, provided the following statement through email when asked for details regarding the decision to move Hampton and the status of the IDOC transgender policy changes:

“The Illinois Department of Corrections carefully considered Deon Hampton's housing placement before making the transfer. IDOC’s mental health professionals receive specialized training and ongoing consultation from a transgender expert. The development of training for all IDOC staff is underway.”

IDOC records still list Hampton's first name as Deon, although she goes by Strawberry.

Hampton has alleged that IDOC staff have continually misgendered her by referring to her using incorrect pronouns. Clinical psychiatrist George Brown testified during a September hearing in the case that misgendering transgender people is "mentally devastating."

Hampton is currently serving a 10-year sentence for burglary.

Hampton has accused IDOC in multiple lawsuits of extensive abuse and discrimination because of her identity as a transgender woman — the 27-year-old has identified as female since she was 5.

She was most recently housed in the Dixon Correctional Center, the fourth men's prison where she has been incarcerated within the past year. In January, Hampton settled a case alleging abuses at the hands of officers in the Menard Correctional Center in Chester. She had been transferred there from the state prison in Pickneyville, where she alleged that guards routinely beat her and forced her to have sex with her cellmate for guard entertainment.

As previously reported in The Southern, as a result of the settlement, Hampton was moved from Menard to the Lawrence Correctional Center, but was ultimately moved to Dixon as alleged abuses continued.

While her transfer is good news for Hampton and her legal team, Alan Mills, executive director of Uptown People's Law Center, said this doesn’t negate any of the legal actions she has against IDOC.

“Both actions are proceeding,” Mills said of cases arising from alleged actions against Hampton both at the Pinckneyville Correctional Center and the other suit stemming from the Lawrence and Dixon facilities.

“Both … include claims for damages, as well as the request for injunctive relief. The damages claims remain pending; the injunctive claims may still be relevant, as they included obtaining proper mental health treatment.

“Hopefully, she will receive appropriate treatment at Logan, but it is clearly too soon to tell,” Mills said.

As to the status of IDOC’s court-ordered plan to change its policy regarding transgender inmates, Mills said there has been some progress made, but possibly not enough.

“They have submitted a plan,” Mills said. “We did not (think) it was sufficient; however, they admitted it was only the first step. We remain interested to ensure that the full plan is actually implemented.”

When asked, Mills said he wasn’t sure if Hampton was still placed in segregation at her new facility. She had been segregated from the general population at Dixon, which her lawyers previously said was a source of great mental anguish for Hampton, and went against medical directives from some doctors. Hess did not answer a question about whether Hampton was still in segregation.

Mills said he only knew IDOC policy.

“However, under Department guidelines, a new plan should be created shortly after her transfer,” Mills wrote in an email Thursday. “We remain vigilant to ensure that her needs are met.”

As to what this means for the future treatment of transgender inmates, Mills said it was a good first step, but wasn’t sure if it would be the norm.

“We hope that this sets a precedent, but we will have to see how IDOC deals with the dozens of other trans people housed according to their genitalia,” as opposed to their identities, he said.

Testimony given earlier this year during one of Hampton’s emergency injunction hearings detailed the way in which IDOC has gone about handling transgender inmates and meeting the needs of people with gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person's biological sex does not align with his or her gender identity.

More inclusive plans from other states were cited during a January hearing in Benton. Dan Pacholke, an expert in correctional security, testified for Hampton and said IDOC’s Gender Identity Disorder Committee seemed more concerned with Hampton’s genitals rather than “her own concerns for personal safety.”

Testimony, as well as details from Hampton’s formal complaint, revealed that her incident report tickets were routinely disregarded and that she and other inmates lived in fear of retaliation from guards for speaking up about abuse.

In court filings, IDOC had cast doubt on Hampton's gender identity — alleging Hampton in initial session with prison health workers never claimed to be transgender and, in the words of one filing, "was OK with being male."

Clinical psychiatrist Brown said in a declaration to a federal court that Hampton showed all the features of someone convinced of their female identity.

Brown also challenged the department's contention that Hampton could be a greater risk to women because she hasn't had sex reassignment surgery, saying such a view "conflicts with all reliable medical literature." He said Hampton's low testosterone levels due to previous hormone treatments meant she was "functionally chemically castrated."

In the news release from Hampton’s legal team, Bedi said Hampton’s case is a strong indictment of prisons at large.

“Strawberry’s struggle to live free from sexual assaults and harassment while in IDOC custody demonstrates a fundamental truth about prisons — they are inherently violent and only create harm,” she said in the release.

According to the release, “Hampton’s case is the second case in the country in which a federal court has recognized that a prison’s decision to house transpeople in this manner is a form of unlawful discrimination”

Bedi also saw the significance of the decision to move Hampton.

“Strawberry’s transfer is a historic recognition that transwomen are women and that the IDOC must take action to protect transwomen from sexual violence and discrimination,” he wrote.

“Hopefully, the other transwomen in IDOC custody will not have to survive multiple sexual assaults and constant discrimination before the IDOC houses them appropriately.”

>She and other inmates lived in fear of retaliation from guards for speaking up about abuse

So instead of doing something about the abusive guards which clearly pose a danger to not just the trans inmate but his male inmates as well, they choose to transfer him to a women's prison and sweep the problem under the rug?

It's becoming increasingly clear that troons who screech about misgenderings and related abuses by the evil general population don't actually care about any of these things. What they're after is control. They want to control every aspect of people's interactions with them. It's the same phenomenon with the easily asshurt; if you don't believe that they're the person they TELL you they are then you're evil and problematic! If you don't listen to them they'll browbeat you until you're compliant or taken care of

And I'm not siding with the facts over feels people here completely. I sympathize with feeling insecure and generally unhappy with one's state of being but that gives nobody the right to be an asshole to anyone else. Everyone has problems and everyone gets picked on to some degree. When you start sizing up your victimhood dicks the race to the bottom starts

That's what the pronouns shit is about, too: authoritarian control over the speech of people who may not actually agree they're women/men and definitively don't agree that every one of them deserves individualized, special fucking titles.

Almost everything regressives do is about using social intimidation to force people to act however they demand. Which is especially scary considering how inconsistent and unprincipled they are. "People of color" would have gotten you chewed out 5 years ago. Now it's the only TRUE and HONEST way to refer to non-whites. Unless the left doesn't like them, then they lose their racial minority card.

I can't even pretend to be shocked that there's corruption all over the Illinois prison system. Corruption is Illinois number 2 export after fucking corn. Still, even if 'Strawberry' has the 'Remorseless Gorilla' stare down pat, nobody deserves to go through that abuse. Hopefully the guards get named, shamed, and possibly maimed.

A debate is growing in England on whether the NHS -- Britain's strained universal healthcare system -- should fund fertility treatment for transgender people who have undergone a transition.

Currently, gender reassignment surgeries are covered by the NHS. That means that a UK citizens looking to undergo a sex transition -- and who're willing to plod through the NHS's long waiting lists -- are likely to get most of their expenses subsidized by the government.


However, the procedure -- which relies on hormonal treatment and surgery -- comes with the risk of infertility. To counteract that, some opt to store their sperms or eggs before beginning the process. But to the outrage of some, this preemptive fertility treatment for trans patients is not offered on all NHS outposts.


The reason for this lack of consistency is that it comes down to Clinical Commissioning Groups -- bureaucratic committees that evaluate the medical needs of different communities -- to determine how to distribute their NHS budget and on what services.


The Equality and Human Rights Commission, a government-funded watchdog, has started legal action in September to force NHS England to make fertility treatment to trans people universally available.


Rebecca Hilsenrath, the Commission's chief executive, told the BBC that, "a choice between treatment for gender dysphoria and the chance to start a family is not a real choice."



In a BBC report that aired on Monday, young trans people expressed frustration with the system for not providing them with free fertility treatment.


"I do believe it's unfair that transgender women and men aren't given the opportunity like anybody else would to be a parent," said Cruella, a 22-year-old trans woman.


"There needs to be one policy for everybody, not just segregate us and give us a few little things -- which I'm very grateful for and everybody that I know is grateful for -- such as the surgeries and the hormones. These are amazing things," she said. "But there are other things that are wrong with the NHS."


Max, non-binary, told the BBC that they have recently begun the NHS-funded operation but had to pay for private fertility treatments. "It was daunting," they said. "I understand there are cuts [to the NHS], but the choice between a family and going on hormones is not something that people should have to make."


A parliamentary committee for women and LGBTQ equality issued a report in November stating that the NHS is unable to keep up with demand for gender realignment surgeries. The backlog is "out of control," the report concluded, and reaching "a breaking point."


According to estimates, one out of 10 British citizens will be on an NHS waiting list by 2021.
 
I cannot facepalm hard enough.

The whole point of sex changes is to aesthetically make your gender go from one thing to another, and in the process, it's a KNOWN risk that your ability to sire kids could be partially or permanently crippled in the exchange.

If you have buyers remorse after the fact, then you deserve no pity, you knew what you were getting into.
