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.'

Man gets questioned for liking Tweets saying that trannies are men. This is not illegal, nor a crime, but the police apparently have to investigate anyway.

This is a story about Harry Miller, a man who has lived a life that might be described as blameless and even admirable. He’s the director of a company that employs 70-odd people in one of the poorer bits of England, invests in its staff and community, and uses its financial and technical expertise to raise large sums of money and make life better for people who really need it in very poor parts of Nepal.

Miller, a former police officer, is not frankly, the sort of person you’d expect to the subject of a police inquiry. Yet according to Miller on Wednesday this week, he found himself answering questions — for 34 minutes – from an officer from Humberside Police. He doesn’t live in Humberside, incidentally, and nor is his business based there.

What had he done to draw the attention of the police? There is no suggestion that Miller has done anything illegal. Yet he says he still had that 34 minute conversation with a police officer who warned him about his behaviour and spoke repeatedly about a ‘victim’ of Miller’s conduct.

This is, of course, a story about Twitter, and transgenderism. Miller says he was interviewed by the police and warned about his ‘thinking’ because he had used his Twitter account to express opinions about transgenderism and the law as it applies to gender. On that account, Miller says things such as ‘trans women are not women’ and questions the school of thought that says someone born male who ‘identifies’ as female must be treated in exactly the same way as a person born with a female body.


The officer, Miller says, explained that his force was investigating what is called a ‘hate incident’. This is an act or event that does not break the law, does not constitute a crime, but which someone perceives to have been motivated by hatred or discrimination towards a particular group of people.

Miller, it was suggested, might have been responsible for such a ‘hate incident’ by ‘promoting’ tweets that a complainant (unnamed) regarded as hateful or offensive. The officer allegedly had a list of 30 tweets Miller had sent, liked or retweeted, which he suggested had been cited by a person he referred to as ‘the victim’ of the supposed incident.

Miller says the officer went on to warn him that by ‘promoting’ such material, he might find himself in trouble with his company (the officer was evidently unaware that Miller actually owns the firm) because his tweeting might make transgender employees uncomfortable.

Miller was, to put it mildly, taken aback by this. Here is his account, in his own words. (For clarity, Miller is now the chairman of his firm and leaves day-to-day business to the ‘Director’ referenced in the first sentence here.)

‘Got a call from Director, saying cops wanting to speak to me. He’d had sense not to give out my number, but said he’d pass on details. I rang.

Spoke to PC from Humberside, introduces himself as representing the LGBTQ community on a report of hate speech by me. They’d found me via my company, had been all over the website & decided if I employed trans people at all, it was not a safe place for them & work should know.

Cop said he was in possession of 30 Tweets by me. I asked if any contained criminal material. He said…. No. I asked if any came close to being criminal… and he read me a limerick. Honestly. A limerick. A cop read me a limerick over the phone.

I said, I didn’t write that. He said, ‘Ah. But you Liked it and promoted it.’ I asked why he was wasting his time on a non crime. He said, ‘It’s not a crime, but it will be recorded as a hate incident.’

So, I’ve added to a statistic, even though there is no crime, which brings me to my next point. The cop repeatedly called the complainant ‘the victim.’ I asked how there could be a victim if, as he’d established, there was no crime. He said, that’s just how it works.

My comment was that by framing the complainant as ‘victim’, this made me, by default, ‘criminal.’ I asked him to desist from using it.

This is where it gets incredibly sinister. The cop told me that he needed to speak with me because, even though I’d committed no crime whatsoever, he needed (and I quote) ‘to check my THINKING!’ Seriously. Honestly.

Finally, he lectured me. Said, ‘Sometimes, a woman’s brain grows a man’s body in the womb and that is what transgender is.’ You can imagine my response…

Lastly, he told me that I needed to watch my words more carefully or I was as risk of being sacked by the company for hate speech.’

I spoke to Miller this morning about the call. He said he remains incredulous that a police officer would seek him out, via his business, and spend more than half an hour warning him about his ‘thinking’ and the fact that he had expressed opinions about social and political issues, in a way that does not in any way break the law.

Miller told me: ‘I kept asking him, why are you saying ‘victim’? If there’s not been a crime, how can there be a victim. He said that’s just the way it is.’

‘He said he would be passing my answers on to the complainant. I told him to tell that person I would gladly talk to them, that I’d like to take them out to dinner so we could have a conversation about this. I’d explain that I am a strong supporter of the 2010 Equality Act, and explain my concerns about possible reforms of the Gender Recognition Act and how that could affect legal rights for women. Of course, he wouldn’t tell me anything about the complainant, just that they were from ‘down south’.’


‘I just find this all unbelievable and sinister. I’ve broken no law, the police don’t suggest that I’ve done anything illegal, but here they are, investigating me for tweeting a limerick. It’s mad, completely mad.’

How will he respond to the police attention? Will he change his approach to tweeting? He says no. ‘Free speech is a hill that we have to fight on. If we can’t express ourselves freely within the law, none of the other rights we have mean anything.’

I also asked Humberside Police about Miller’s account of his conversation with their officer. They gave me this statement:

‘We take all reports of hate incident seriously and will always investigate and take proportionate action.’ [sic]

They didn’t say any more about what constitutes a ‘hate incident’, but English and Welsh police forces are subject to Home Office instructions on ‘crime reporting’ that appear to oblige them to record anything that a complainant perceives to be motivated by hatred of people because of a protected characteristic. That can mean race, age, disability or gender reassignment.

That instruction says:

‘All reports of incidents, whether from victims, witnesses or third parties and whether crime related or not, will, unless immediately recorded as a crime, result in the registration of an auditable incident report by the police.’

This is the same instruction that saw West Midlands police treat a speech by Amber Rudd in 2017 as a ‘hate incident’. The instruction, however, does not appear to oblige forces to actively investigate reported incidents. Humberside Police said nothing more about their decision to interview Harry Miller.

He isn’t the first person to have such an experience. I know of several other people who say they have also been interviewed and warned by police about their entirely legal comments online about gender issues.

What to make of this? I’ve written a lot about this subject, because I think it raises many disturbing questions about the way we conduct ourselves as a society and a democracy, about the way the political process registers and responds to different groups’ valid concerns and questions. I keep writing about it because I think that more people in positions of authority should take a closer (and more public) interest in numerous failures of policy and politics.

And when I write about it, I take pains to do so in a calm, measured and careful way, because this debate desperately needs deliberation and calm reflection, instead of anger and outrage.

But it is very, very hard indeed to remain calm about the story of Harry Miller. In Britain today, a police force may have sought out a man who has broken no law and spent more than half an hour warning him about his ‘thinking’ and his expression of his opinions – for no other reason than someone said they believed that man’s lawful actions were motivated by ‘hatred’.

PS. You might be wondering about that limerick, the one that appears to have concerned the police officer and saw a law-abiding businessman interviewed and warned about his behaviour and his ‘thinking’. Here it is:

You’re a man.

Your breasts are made of silicone

Your vagina goes nowhere

And we can tell the difference

Even when you are not there

Your hormones are synthetic

And lets just cross this bridge

What you have you stupid man

Is male privilege.

The Latest in Transgender “Science”: Reincarnation
Posted on January 22, 2019 by The Political Hat

An article in a recent peer-reviewed academic journal, International Journal of Sexual Health, ponders the question: Do past-life memories have a connection to transgenderism? Unsurprisingly, the study found just that.

In part, the study found that:

“The possibility that children’s past-life statements may be fantasies independent of any parental influence merits further attention as well. Can preexisting GNC lead a child to report past-life memories specifically as a member of a different sex, as if playing out gender nonconforming tendencies in fantasy? Several points argue against this possibility. First, although it is impossible to rule out that in some of these cases the child’s statements and behaviors may be rooted in fantasy, in more than half of our cases the idiosyncratic details of the past life have been found to match the life of an actual deceased individual. When limiting our analysis to such cases only, we find an equally strong association between GNC and memories of a life as a member of a different sex.”

pastlives1.jpg


That’s right, past-life memories due to reincarnation is considered a legitimate field of academic study. The study authors don’t go so far as to right out say that this is a case of a soul in the wrong-sexed body, but the influence of “previous lives” is not a new area of study when it comes to shaping “personality development” in addition to (or perhaps in lieu of) genetics or environment.

This isn’t science, it’s the plot of the even-more-woke female Doctor Who!

With the success of the Grievance Studies Affair (i.e. the “New Sokal” affair), Poe’s Law is in permanent invocation when it comes to woke academia.

Lying tranny lies some more:

Tia Latham claims to be an XX male. That is basically someone who has the skeleton/bone structure of a woman, but has the male sex gene (SRY) so they are born with a dick & balls. Being intersex is a common thing for trannies to lie about, and it's safe to say Tia is not, especially as he's 5'10" tall, which is way more in the XY height range then XX.

Also being an XX male is a pretty shitty thing in that you are infertile & have a small dick. Treatment is done by testosterone supplements, because an XX male is just an under virilized dude, so you would want to up the maleness, because XX doesn't mean that much - the presence or absence of the SRY gene is more significant in sex/gender identity.

Anyway, he's a liar and a publicity/reality TV whore who wanted to have sex on TV. Now he's claiming to have been attacked by transphobes.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/cri...rgeted-in-transphobic-attack-in-a4043361.html

A model and reality TV star has told of her terror after she was chased by a thug armed with a metal pole in a suspected transphobic hate crime.

Transgender model Tia Latham, who last year appeared in ITV show Survival of the Fittest, said she was so scared she will need counselling after she was targeted.

CCTV shows a hooded man chase Ms Latham and her friend after they got out of her car late on Thursday night.

The pair managed to get inside, at which point a man produced a metal pole from his clothing and repeatedly bashed her car windows.

An accomplice also turned up and kicked the side of the car, leaving a dent, before smashing off the left wing mirror.

The attack happened at her friend’s house in Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire, and Ms Latham, from Finsbury Park, claimed the pair had been targeted.

The 29-year-old said: “My friend and I had gone to the shop to get some nibbles for a movie night. When we pulled up in the car, we got out and could see someone smoking at the side of one of the houses.

“We proceeded into the house and suddenly my friend urgently ushered me in. I heard someone shouting. We got through the door and ran upstairs. I was oblivious to what was happening.

“We saw him pull out a metal pole which he would have used to attack us. When they couldn’t get through the door, they proceeded to vandalise my BMW.

“We looked at the footage and prior to the attack, there were people hanging around looking suspicious. It looks like they were waiting for us.”

Ms Latham said she wanted to speak out to raise awareness about hate crime, and added: “I already had anxiety but it has gone up even more now. I am going to need counselling.

“It’s unfortunate this kind of thing is still happening in 2019.”

Thames Valley Police said in a statement: "Thames Valley Police were called at around 10.20pm on Thursday to reports of criminal damage in, Beechlands, Hazlemere near High Wycombe.

"A vehicle was damaged by up to three men, they were seen with a baseball bat.

"This criminal damage is also being investigated as a hate crime.

"If you have information that could help us with the investigation, please contact police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting reference 43190017835, or make a report online."

This is on a private road in Buckinghamshire, so this was either setup for publicity or one of them pissed someone off. It's safe to say what it is not is a random transphobic attack in the middle of the night, in January, in freezing weather, on a private road.

Too late, already happening, mostly for the sake of "justice and equality", blatant sucking up for trans fee feez as well as more $$$ for docs who engage in this transvesty. Health authorities seem to have forgotten about what killed Lili Elbe. Uterine implants tend to kill women born without uteruses too. Why would this medical tech be wasted on MtoF's?

tl;dr....I feel for the clerk and think he was just too flustered to pretend he was speaking to a "woman".

Us humans have evolved to be able with a quick glance, determine the sex of other humans. This has safety and mating implications.
This can be "tricked" with wearing the stereotypical clothes or other adornments of the opposite sex in a given culture, but usually not fully.
Now we have artificial hormones and surgery to affect a more complete appearance change.
Even so, male trans (transwomen) that have gone through puberty as male are rarely fully successful. Some definitely have genetics making it easier, but too many still look likes dudes in dresses.
The trans woman in the Gamestop looks, sounds and acts like a male. It is likely they have not been transitioning long.
I know if I were to do a quick glance or hear them speak, I would assume male from the get go. If I looked longer, I might be able to see they are trying to appear as a woman, but I could also see them as just a guy who is gender non-conforming.

If they appeared as say, Blaire White, this would not have happened. Blaire looks very much like a woman, and bypasses the automatic response to react to her like a guy.
The Gamestop trans still is very masculine.

What it looked like to me in the video is the clerk gave the initial reaction to an obvious male, and addressed them as such. As he was getting flustered and scared (I would be too, lol), it was harder for him to go against his natural reaction to see that person as a male.
It is automatic in a stressful situation.
The aggressive reaction by the transwoman reinforced that this was a male with an anger/rage issue.

The clerk is trained to call every male sir, I bet. Whether they are in a suit, or wearing shorts and wife-beater. It is ingrained, and not easily scuttled because a male wears pink shoes, unconvincing make-up and has something other than a buzzcut for a hairstyle.

The transwoman said that they were quite clearly not a man.
If they really believe that, they are delusional.
I can feel for a person that wants to be seen as a woman by others, but they also have to realize when they do not, and not go bat shit because people use their eyes and ears and KNOW what biological sex they are.

NSFW! For some weird reason, every time I see or hear the word 'transitioning' I think of this. (Sry, can't find anywhere on the site that explains how to make a spoiler.)

There's a lot of overlap in cowland, but I do think there's a lot of common ground between "multiple personalities"/"DID" and "transgender."

Both involve thinking you are something you're not, and both of them are (in their documented, traditional presentations) extremely rare issues to have, issues so rare that some shrinks still are of the opinion that it's caused by bad mental healthcare.

In both cases, too, far more people than were ever afflicted by the original ended up getting the trendy internet version of the problem, where it's more "totally and consciously made up." After "performing" as DID/trans for a while, it's possible they even convince themselves to some degree, but a lot of them still clearly are just plain, old-fashioned fakers.

The trans "period" lies remind me of DID fakery. There were people who claimed to have DID where different "alters" had different allergies, or conditions like epilepsy, and they'd fake seizures or their throat closing up or whatever when they were faking that alter. Gullible people believed it, even when it was obviously bullshit. The DID fakers even had pseudoscientific explanations for how it could happen, different brain patterns for different personalities and shit like that.

It was this exact kind of grasping-at-straws wishful thinking that characterizes the desperate attempts of the "but I do have a period, I do!" trans fakers to find some physiological justification for their claims.

For both DID and trans, if the condition was confined to the original population, it would have been really reasonable to tell people to just kind of...go along with the crazy person, since there wasn't much that could be done for them other than to humor their delusion.

But once the fakers started far outnumbering the people in the original diagnostic population, insisting on everyone humoring their delusion is impractical, and presents an incentive for abusers and powertrippers to self-diagnose. If DID people could get identification documents in seven different names for seven different alters, there'd be entire new (bad) demographics who had new (bad) reasons to want a diagnosis.

As much as trans hate drag queens, they don't seem to mind appropriating them for their death lists (or anything else they can be of use for):
"In addition to the cases above, HRC is deeply concerned about another incident which we are following closely. On July 19, 30-year-old Jessie Sumlar was found stabbed to death in Jacksonville, Florida. According to loved ones, Sumlar regularly performed in drag and identified as queer. HRC calls for further investigation into the causes of Sumlar's death, including whether discriminatory bias toward transgender and/or gender non-conforming people played a motivating factor."

One of the young men listed on the HRC ‘Murdered Trans People of 2018’ list had a pornhub profile where he proclaimed himself a gay male (his vids uh, prove as much). His family whom he was close to called him by his male name. He’s buried under it. All pics of him are of a cropped haired kid in jerseys. He was only 18 when he was killed, the profile created shortly before his death so it’s not like it was from years earlier.

But no, because he apparently used a female name for a few hookups he wasn’t a gay dude but a tranny.

Trans after death, like the mormons baptizing dead jews.

He/Him Lesbians
BYSORJO MAGAZINEONSEPTEMBER 9, 2018•( 2 COMMENTS )

by Nicole Zaridze

Frequently Asked Questions:

“What is a he/him lesbian?”
A he/him lesbian is a lesbian who prefers he/him pronouns.

“But I thought men couldn’t be lesbians”
You are correct. Men cannot be lesbians. A lesbian is a woman/woman aligned person who is exclusively interested in women/women aligned people.

“Then, how can someone use he/him pronouns and still be a lesbian?”
Because pronouns do not equal gender. Pronouns are substitutes for nouns, so instead of saying a sentence like “Diana went to get Diana’s clothes from Diana’s room.” you would instead say “Diana went to get her clothes from her room.”
While certain pronouns are associated with men and women, the same could be said for names. Typically, people tend to connect the name Leslie to women, however there are men with the name Leslie. Does being a man with the name Leslie make them a woman? no. Pronouns are like that!
Another example is how people can refer to (typically cisgender) gay men as she/her without doubting that they are still men.

“Isn’t a he/him lesbian just a trans man?”
No because trans men are men, and he/him lesbians are women/women aligned.

“How can someone call themselves a lesbian when they aren’t a woman?”
Many lesbians, specially butch and GNC lesbians of color, feel alienated from womanhood as it is often taught womanhood is attached to being attracted to men, femininity, whiteness, and gender conformity. It is not uncommon for women who love women (lesbians, bi women, queer women etc) to question their relationship to womanhood, and while many are comfortable, to a certain extent, in calling themselves women, others often opt for terms like nonbinary and gender nonconforming.

“What does it mean to be woman aligned?”
It is a descriptor for people who feel estranged from stereotypical womanhood but still feel inexplicably connected to it. While someone may feel they do not have a gender, they feel connected to the experience of womanhood in one way or another. I have seen it described as if being a man was a lane and being a woman was another lane, woman aligned would be the sidewalk along the woman lane but separate from the man lane.

History
Lesbians preferring to be referred with more masculine pronouns can be observed for decades, mainly in working class butch lesbians. The book Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg details the gender non-conformity of butch lesbians through the story of Jess, it is set in the 60’s and follows Jess’ life. The history of this way of gender nonconformity can be read about in the book Boots of Leather Slippers of Gold: The History of a Lesbian Community by Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy and Madeline Davis.
Historically, butch lesbians have expressed their gender nonconformity in many ways, from clothing to name changing to top surgery to different pronouns, such expressions are important parts of the lesbian experience and enhance its meaning.
“Who was I now–woman or man? That question could never be answered as long as those were the only choices; it could never be answered if it had to be asked.” – Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues

For most of my life I have felt discomfort calling myself a woman, it never sits right in my mouth and I always feel a heaviness when referring myself as such. I thought that if I was not a woman, I had to be a man. I have never felt more pain than the times I identified myself as a man. In this time, the way I viewed myself and interacted with the world felt stiff and incorrect, I was stuck between a hard place and a wall; If I wasn’t a woman or a man, what could I possibly be?
This internal conflict went on for about a year, going through gender labels like socks, nothing ever felt right. Finally, I decided that I was just a lesbian, no other labels necessary. Lesbian encompasses how I feel about myself and choose to interact with others, I love women and prioritize them in my life and I am not a man. My gender presentation still felt forced, I would wear makeup and dresses, forcing myself to perform femininity because otherwise I would no longer be seen as desirable.
Growing up in my country, I never met any women that rejected femininity, that allowed themselves to be comfortable, I was taught that being a woman was painful and that being beautiful hurt even more. Plucking, waxing, dieting, hair relaxing, discomfort, and violence from men all seemed to be intrinsically linked to womanhood, it left me with very little space to exist. I have always felt most comfortable in masculine clothing, when I don’t have to worry if my skirt will fly up or if my thighs look too big, but I never allowed myself to wear these kinds of clothes too often because I thought the only way I could be wanted was if I looked stereotypically feminine. When I finally realized that I was not meant to be consumed and that being ugly was not the end of the world, everything fell into place.
I have always felt safest in spaces in which I am around women of color, there is a sense of ease and comfort that comes with being around people like me. I believed that if I began to present the way I wished to I would no longer be wanted in women’s spaces because so often I see womanhood being described as solely feminine, I was scared that I would be perceived as a predator if I let go of the forced femininity I was performing. While at times I am seen as such, the women in my life know me and understand that while I don’t experience life in the same way they do, we all have that womanly anger passed down for generations.
I changed my name because my birth name never felt mine, I wanted something that I had full control over. Along with my name I changed my pronouns, because the way I wish people to refer to me matches my new chosen name. He/him pronouns make me feel comfortable in who I am and the way I have chosen to present myself to the world. I can not control many things but the way I choose to identify myself is mine and mine alone, whether people choose to honor my choices is their own prerogative.
In my journey to womanhood, I have fallen and I have bled. I have lost myself and I have found others. It is an ongoing trip but I am no longer dreading continuing this trek, because I know that I am not alone and many others have been where I stand. While I still feel a sense of discomfort saying ‘I am a woman’ and often choose to describe my gender experience with other words, for all intents and purposes, I am a woman. My womanhood is complex and at times inexplicable but I believe my experience only enriches its meaning.

    This is very, dare I say it-
    Misleading. You’re bound to confuse someone who actually doesn’t mean harm.
    Pronouns DO equate to gender and would you like to know why?
    To use the wrong pronouns is to misgender someone, you’re using a very broad definition of pronouns and ;
    If pronouns didn’t equate to gender then how is misgendering someone possible? Since after all, haha- pronouns are in a way linked to gender. If someone is transitioning and would prefer people use different pronouns, because “PrOnOuNs dO nOt eQuAl GeNdEr” would it still be okay for me to use their old ones since they apparently don’t matter? Imagine how much shit I would get for that if I find the right person.
    Please take your feelings out of this sweetie.

I literally don't know any more.

If this doesn't belong here, sorry, but I'm not sure if this is for natal women who call themselves men, troons who still want to be called men or something else entirely.

Note: the author is apparently under 18. If it should be pulled on that basis, second apology.

It is, but I guess it’s another case of troonery trumps all, even actions that are offensive when committed by another group.

The kid I mentioned wasn’t the only murder victim seemingly erroneously slapped with the trans label after death. In case anyone is interested, the facts from the 2018 trans homicide stats:

26 people listed, though the man who died in ICE custody, Jeffry Roxanna Hernandez, most likely died due to cardiac arrest. Case still pending if there was negligence involved.

Removing him, we have 24 men and 1 woman. 18 black men and 1 black woman, 3 latino men, 3 white men.

18 killed from gunshot wounds, 3 from stabbing, 1 from blunt force trauma, 1 from strangulation, 2 unknown/unreported.

At least 8 had verified arrests for prostitution/solicitation or were publicly identified as prostitutes by law enforcement. Several had existing felony charges/convictions including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault.

13 of the 25 cases had a known perp who has since been arrested and is awaiting trial or has been convicted, save one- a clearance rate of 52% which is above the national average of 49%. All but one perp was male (see below).

In 6 cases there is a known motive. 1 was a case of domestic violence (killed by spouse); 3 were robberies; 1 argument over a drug debt; and 1 was in the self-defense. There was no indication of sexual assault to any of the victims, though police may choose not to report that information.

There were three cases in Jacksonville, Fl that police believe may be connected. All three victims were black male prostitutes killed in or near motels. No arrests have been made.

Only in two of the cases are police or prosecutors suggesting the motive was possibly related to the victim’s gender id— the Mattel case in Detroit and the Stanton case in Chicago. So far no hate crime charges have been added to any of the 12 men awaiting trial. All but one of the arrested suspects were men; the one woman who shot a man, Gigi Pierce, in Seattle did so in self defense after Pierce attempted to stab her in the face with a knife. In that case murder charges were dropped.

At least three of the men (Bell, Moore, and Ortiz) appear to be mistakenly labeled as trans, as their family and social media accounts state they were male and their social media used their male names. With the one female victim, Kawana Fortson, she used “they” pronouns and seemingly identified as “queer” (not male) at the time of her murder.

ETA: on further research and in the words of her own longtime female partner, Kawana seemed to id as what she was, female.

Williams said losing her soulmate in a tragic manner is indescribable.

“I loved her smile. I did. I loved her smile,” she said.

She and Fortson had been together for nearly a decade and shared a blended family.

“To be honest with you, I feel empty. I feel like someone stole something from me that I will never be able to get back," Williams said.

Forston died on May 13 from multiple gunshot wounds after the shooting along Woods Drive.

“They knew she was a woman who dressed like man. I believe it was a hate crime,” Williams said.

That really irked me cuz limericks are fucking easy to write.

There was a young man from L.A
Who swore that he wasn't gay
But he would put on a dress,
Call himself Tess
And take it up the ass for pay.

Took me 5 minutes.

This is not a limerick.

Limericks don't just have a rhyme pattern, they have a characteristic rhythm, with lines having a set range of syllable numbers.
