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.'

Troon molests child then demands tax-payer funded gender surgery in Idaho

Can’t wait to read the articles on the Supreme Court blog
 
At first I was cringing with disgust, but imagine how insecure and narcissistic they are to have female rape resources be a threat to them. Are women going to need to be escorted in because mouthbreathing hairless "gurlz" will be creeping around this place waiting to screech how transphobic you are for having a vagina? Christ. "TERFS go home" Uh, where the fuck do you think you are, exactly?

This is what you get for entertaining the fantasies of the mentally ill, Canada. I wouldn't tell a schizophrenic that the cops are indeed watching him across the street and the demon he sees on the other side of the door is real, because it leads to shit like this.

Maybe they will stand around those places and be threatening, maybe some violence and a small bomb from time to time, like the anti-abortion nuts. It might just be my personal bias but the troons seem more self-righteous than the anti-abortion Christians.

It’s a shame nobody watches these sports aside from a handful of lesbians, the players and their relatives.

Imagine if these were actually popular sports. We could probably put an end to troonery just by having every kiwifarmer join a woman’s rugby/soccer team, injure some players and get pictures in the local paper with a big shiteating grin on our face:

There is precedence for people hurting people in sports built around hurting people. Back in 1983 Luis Resto fought Billy Collins Jr. in a boxing match and he had the padding cut from his gloves and his wraps dipped in plaster making it so that he cracked Collins in the face with a plaster cast for ten rounds. Collins got supremely fucked up, it ended his unbeaten career, tore his retina, he lost a lot of his vision and he died nine months later in a car accident, he was a broken man at 22 years of age.
Everlast, the glove manufacturer, got sued for negligence and Resto as well as his trainer got thrown into prison for assault, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy(they obviously loaded his gloves for a reason).
There's a great documentary about it called Assault in the Ring.

What does that have to do with troons? If in a contact sport like rugby a 6'4" 240lbs troon Million Dollar Baby's one or two women then it will probably go to court or at least civil court. There they might try to determine if this type of competition is fair, who thought it was a good idea and did those that allowed them to compete know that someone so big could hurt someone way smaller.

Imagine this but the woman, who probably isn't suplexed that often, doesn't tuck her chin.
 

Here's the Korean text.

Google translate of more relevant bits:

A 25-year-old boy was admitted to the University Hospital of Seoul with a strong desire to be a girl who began in the fourth grade of elementary school, his discomfort for his biological sex, suicidal thoughts and difficulty controlling emotions. In the fifth grade of elementary school, he started outpatient treatment in a private mental health medicine hospital with obsessive compulsive symptoms to wash his hands frequently, obsess over cleanliness, and confirm questions with the obsessive compulsive accident that germs could carry. He dropped out in first grade in middle school due to difficulties in peer relations, such as raising his head and making a voice like a woman and being bullied by his friends. After that, he showed off his aggressiveness by breaking things in the house and getting angry.

Frequent friction caused her to live in Cheonghak-dong semi-forcefully. The patient increased sexual interest in puberty and frequently masturbated, which led to confusion over his sexual identity because he believed that the act of enjoying pleasure with a man's genitals was a figure of a man different from his thoughts. At home, she struggled with her parents because of her persistent feelings and difficulty in controlling her anger, and she was hospitalized for months at the Department of Personal Mental Health in Gyeonggi-do. The patient visited our gynecology department on December 4, 2012 for evaluation of hormonal therapy and sex change surgery, and was referred for consultation on the related mental health medical evaluation. The patient presented with symptoms such as difficulty controlling emotion and suicide at the time of visit. In our department, paroxetine 60 mg and quetiapine 12.5 mg were introduced. However, there was no improvement and the fluoxetine was used up to 40 mg. During this period, the gynecological treatment of triptorelin acetate 3.75 mg, a male hormone inhibitor, was aggravated during a hormonal therapy and was first admitted to the ward on April 22, 2013. He said he would lose his femininity after being hospitalized. In addition, the treatment of obsessive compulsive behavior was frequently performed due to aggressive behavior due to difficulty in controlling emotion, but it did not show any special effect. During hospitalization, the patient was displaced with a slight improvement after using risperidone 4 mg and lithium 1800 mg. However, the patient continued to have frequent suicides after discharge, showed difficulty in controlling mood, continued aggressive words and actions, and was hospitalized on July 31, 2013.

The patient was physically 173 cm tall, with hair extended to the neck and moderately obese with a weight of 102.1 kg and a body mass index of 34.08. At the time of admission, the patient had short hair with his head extended to the shoulders, ears and ears, voiced like a woman, and wore a pink cap T-shirt and training pants. At the mental state examination, mood was depressed and severe anxiety was observed with suicide. In addition, they showed poor thoughts, decreased motivation and low self-esteem, but overall cognitive function and judgment were maintained. She also complained of her gender discomfort and intense desire to be a woman. No abnormalities were observed in brain MRI, EEG and ECG. The intelligence of the patients estimated by the Korean-Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale in the psychological test was evaluated as total intelligence 91 (linguistic intelligence 93 / movement intelligence 90). During the course of the ward, he or she showed hypersensitivity at least once or twice a day to the treatment staff and other patients, resulting in emotional control difficulties, and suicidal thoughts continued. Effective against various medications in past history

He did not show any symptoms, and there were problems with emotional discomfort associated with sexual discomfort and persistent suicidal thoughts, and he recommended electroconvulsion therapy. Started. Lithium and risperidone, which may affect the seizure threshold, were replaced with 800 mg of quetiapine, which had little effect on seizures. 8) 30 minutes prior to electroconvulsion treatment, intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg of atropine was used to reduce intraoral secretions, and three or more doctors and nurses were enrolled in the special treatment room. . The initial voltage was 110 mV and the maximum voltage was 125 mV. The patient had a stable vital sign and no physical problems during the postictal period following electroconvulsion therapy. The patient underwent a total of twelve electroconvulsion treatments and the drug maintained 800 mg of quetiapine used at the beginning of the treatment. In the last ward life observation after electroconvulsion treatment, he was discharged on the 38th day of hospitalization without friction and showed compliance with the treatment staff and other patients. On the scales measured at the time of admission and on the day before discharge, there was improvement in depression, anxiety and suicide, but there were no changes in items related to sexual discomfort. The Global Assessment of Functioning Scale score at discharge was 55 (Table 1). The case was informed and informed of the patient's and caregiver's case report regarding the patient's treatment...


CONCLUSIONS: A 25-year-old man with sexual discomfort from childhood had severe mood control disorders, chronic suicide, and symptomatic improvement with electroconvulsion therapy. Patients with sexual discomfort often have psychiatric coexisting diseases such as depression and the risk of suicide, and active psychiatric intervention is required. As in the case described above, in case of persistent resistance to the drug or in an emergency situation, electroconvulsion treatment may be considered. As of yet, there have been no studies on sexually unpleasant patients in children, adolescents and adults. Further investigations should be carried out to evaluate the prevalence and accompanying psychopathology of sexually unpleasant patients in Korea. Also, it is necessary to prepare legal protection devices for affective problems and suicide accidents through psychiatric active interventions during sexual conversion surgery. Is considered. KEY WORDS: Sexual discomfort, suicide, severe mood control disorder, electroconvulsion therapy

Troon shit is about to get shot down by SCOTUS then. It will probably be judged on the Farmer standard which is very favorable to the prisons. Get ready to suck it, troons.

Nevertheless, the ultra-liberal states will continue to blow taxpayer money on this bullshit. California, in particular, has way more money than sense.

Also, I'm tempted to move to Idaho. Too bad the weather sucks so bad.

Doping in sports is illegal. A woman who dopes would be disqualified. But now a man who if he were truly female has the equivalent of anabolic steroid abuse is meant to be allowed in women's sports no questions asked. If a woman doped to even the playing field with him she'd be called a disgrace to the sport.

Honk honk.

I looked up the reaction (if any) on reddit/twitter and one person on r/traa recognized that this was almost certainly not going to end well for them. As for the ones who didn't, well. Enjoy disappointment, I guess.

I really want to read the dissenting opinion where some lib judge holdout tries to argue that not giving someone free cosmetic surgery is cruel and unusual.
 
Sex change over the phone for three year olds.

It’s like we’re living in a movie or a book.

Just one of those shitty Christian thrillers from the 90ies, where they go on for page after page about all the evil stuff Antichrist (and the UN!) are introducing.



Can confirm. Had my right arm out of function once, and never realized that even something as basic as door handles are primarily designed for right hand use.

I can’t recall any lefties holding protests over shit like that though. Or seeing laws passed that mandate two door handles on every door to accommodate them.
Fuck you I'm a lefty

Gonna march in the lefty pride parade and brandish my left handed scissors WHILE RUNNING

Claire Graham, the female intersex activist in the UK who has been fighting the transcult got a number of Twitter accounts suspended including her account @MRKHvoice on which she was very active. She said during her interview with Benjamin Boyce that she now keep a blog where she's collecting some of her old tweets, so here is a back-up I had saved of that glorious time she managed to get asshole SJW troon CursedE banned on Twitter for appearing to groom someone claiming to be a 14 year old transteen (there were 48 people tagged in this thread):

It's alright. I'm going to alert Twitter that we have a young person being groomed here. They can contact the authorities.

06:44 - 23 April 2018

Printscreen of the tweet that apparently started it all

You've said you're a 14 yo girl. I'm concerned for your welfare. Only doing my duty, no need to thank me

No, it's the job of responsible adults to look out for minors. Even your "I'm not a pedo" protestations are quite pedophilic if you're going to claim the opposite.

No. It is my duty, as an adult, to report abuse of minors. If that offends you, or you find it to be a personal attack, that's worrying.

A safeguarding report is confidential. You know this. It doesn't matter in which forum the abuse takes place, the report isn't a matter of public record. I'm noting your attempt to breach confidentiality and coerce information here.

*sigh* I told someone who said they were being abused that I would alert the appropriate authorities. This is standard. Why does the involvement of child protective services bother you so much? Honestly, this is not doing your cause any good. It looks really shifty.

I'd have thought you'd have put a bit more thought into this. People can't claim abuse and not expect it to be acted on. If you're going to start protesting that, it's not going to look good. I can't help you with this but I'm just letting you know.

What they forget is that this is a public record of all these things. A lot of potential for #peaktrans from these lot. They're doing us a huge favour.

Your simply claiming that a 14 year old following an adult trans woman on Twitter is de facto sexual grooming. You seem to also have wasted child protection service's incredibly valuable, and limited, time if you reported this. Astounding & deplorable behaviour.

As I keep saying, I can't disclose details of a safeguarding report. If none of you can see that a 14 yo, who is clearly showing signs of distress about adult behaviour, needs help, I don't know what to tell you

Yeah that’d be believable if they didn’t threaten to make false reports and call someone a pedo because I follow them

Seriously, this is all madness. The accusation that someone should be reported for saying to someone (unknowing of their age) that they need to get laid is a crazy as reporting someone for being Twitter followed by a 14 year old. What is wrong with people?!

"That’s what ends up happening when you intentionally sew tons of doubt in a public forum over whether or not you reported Cursed, with all of us knowing that if you did, it was for your fabrication about her being a pedophile. Justice will be adequately served in any case."

Honestly, Cursed, I think she's just trying to shame you. I know that on the basis of the tweets referenced, *if* this was reported, CPS would dismiss this concern as lacking evidence & wish that folks would stop wasting their very precious time on making spiteful reports..

No, it's a genuine enquiry about why you lot are so incensed about the protection of a minor
https://twitter.com/MRKHvoice/status/988443847599493120

No, anyone can make a safeguarding complaint. It's encouraged, in fact. It would be ridiculous to need the permission of anyone to so so. Abusers and their victims aren't likely to sign permission ??

Cursed, you accused someone of potential abuse for saying they they needed to get laid, because they turned out to be 14, something the original person didn't know until after the fact. They both since apologised to each other. This whole thread has been a train-wreck.

For clarity, the original person said that person X "needed to get laid". Yeah, a little misogynistic. However, they *didn't* know this person was 14 at the time. They have since apologised to the 14 yo, and the 14 yo also apologised to them for being rude. 1/

Also, the way in which they accused you of grooming a 14 yo, just because they followed you on Twitter, was absolutely ridiculous & a colossal moment of bigotry, especially since the 14 expressly denied this. Crazy! 2/

Rip @notCursedE The TERFS got the feathers ruffled it seems.

it was supposedly after false allegations.. but apparently @hopepinkboots can make false accusations calling random trans women like @TranimeGirl pedophiles all day (i have screen shots) without twitter giving a shit.. and that dudes just a pissed off cross dresser

It's not 'terfs' pushing harmful lies. You can sling as many accusations as you like at me, but they will never make an impact as long as they are all lies.

Dunno. It seems a bit odder to me that grown men are hanging around with a 14 yo girl tbh. Not really helping you to distance from your pedo links, is it?

"Maybe a 14 year old needs to get laid....." Is this is really the hill you want to die on? Hills matter.

@notCursedE wouldn't have been suspended if there were no rules broken, sweatie.

also her last tweet is of her RT-ing a reply where I said she groomed me so......

I've started calling cursed my mom as a joke, (im also underage) and im fairly confident some TERFS really believed me.

TL;DR CursedE was tweeting with someone claiming to be a 14 year old transteen, in a way that suggested - to the casual onlooker - that CursedE had "groomed" that 14 year old into becoming trans and was now their "transmother", a term that SJW trans activists will tell you is affectionately used in the trans subculture for an older transperson who guides a younger transperson through their transition and offers them practical advice about transitioning, when it's really just a euphemism for what amounts to online grooming. CursedE no doubt thought that joking about grooming transteens and being their mom was "just for teh lulz", because joking about pedophilia with the underaged on Twitter is apparently allowed if you claim to be trans. Or so CursedE must've thought. CursedE is a trans shitlord who literally has an account on Discord called "Shitpostopia", in case you had any doubt about them admitting their online shitlord status. CursedE is a malicious troll and a member of the SJW cult (their timeline was literally nothing but SJW rants and retweets of other SJW cult members) who even came after transmedicalists who have no time for TERFs' flamewars, who mostly mind their own business and avoid engaging anyone who is toxic, whether they are left, right, feminist, trans, cyborg, alien, subhuman, subspecies, or anything else. Dr. Ray Blanchard was briefly banned on Twitter for the crime of being a transmedicalist mostly minding his own business tweeting about his own research.

In this exchange you see examples of online SJW troons defending the normalization of pedophilia in the social media in the name of trans rights. People like Ballwaxer are not outliers of this online culture, they are a direct product of it. People knew shit was coming down the pike.

If someone can alert Claire Graham to the fact that I have posted my backup of her tweets feel free to do so. I will try to dig up any other backups I have of her Twitter threads, they were very informed and informative.

There is also a currently 19-page forum discussion on this guy over at Let's Run, where I found this gem. Looks like all the negative press is hurting sweet June's tender feelings so volunteers are needed to sift through the insults to look for tidbits of praise to pass along to June.

When U of M was gearing up the PR for Eastwood’s gender flip flop, they boasted he was the fastest middle distance runner in his high school’s history which is yeah, a great feat for small town Montana. But someone did a deeper dive on twitter and as usual, Eastwood was a thoroughly mediocre athlete when he was running against other males.

B.C.'s top court to hear father's case against 'totalitarian interference' in child's gender transition

A family dispute involving a 14-year-old transgender boy who sought testosterone treatment over the objections of his father has now morphed into a complex and emotionally charged legal battle in B.C.’s top court, with potentially far-reaching implications for child autonomy, parental responsibility and freedom of expression.

In written arguments filed with the B.C. Court of Appeal, the father and his supporters take the position that a lower court delivered a “rush to judgment” in siding with his child, who as a minor is incapable of appreciating the potential consequences of a “still experimental treatment.” Further, they argue that previous court orders compelling the father to refer to his child using only male pronouns amount to “totalitarian interference.”

“The state cannot compel parents to forget their daughters and remember sons in their stead,” said a filing by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a conservative advocacy organization with intervener status in the case.

But the child, his mother and their supporters state in court filings that the father, together with anti-trans activists, have recklessly used him as an unwilling poster child in a campaign to promote “conservative gender ideology” and that the father has shown nothing but “disdain for judicial process” by repeatedly referring to him as female.

They argue that while the father may want to frame the case as a clash of rights, the focus needs to remain on what’s best for his child — and that B.C. law is settled regarding young people’s authority to decide on their own medical treatments.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

“The law is clear that for the purposes of assessing informed consent … a youth seeking gender affirming health care is to be treated — and must be treated — in the same way as any other youth seeking any other medical treatment,” states a filing from the Canadian Professional Association for Transgender Health, which also has intervener status.

It is now up to the B.C. appeal court to untangle these arguments, with hearings scheduled for next week. A publication ban prevents the media from identifying both family members and the health professionals who assessed the child.

The dispute started last year when the child, who has identified as male since age 11, was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and referred by a psychologist to the gender clinic at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The clinic concluded it was in the child’s best interests to proceed with hormone therapy to transition from a female body to a male one. The child and his mother signed a consent form that outlined the risks, including that testosterone treatment in young adolescents is still fairly new and “long-term effects are not fully known.”

The father went to court to try to block the treatment from proceeding, but in February B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Bowden ruled that the child was “exclusively entitled” to consent to treatment under the B.C. Infants Act and that there should be no further delay, citing a previous suicide attempt.

Bowden went on to declare that the child must also be referred to as male or using male pronouns and that any attempt to persuade the child to abandon treatment or references to the child as a girl or using female pronouns “shall be considered to be family violence.”

In April, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Francesca Marzari, responding to a separate application from the boy’s lawyers, issued a protection order restraining the father from publicly discussing the case after finding that interviews he’d given to conservative media outlets had potentially exposed the child to violence and harassment.

“I find that (the father) is using (his child) to promote his own interests above those of his child,” Marzari said.

In appealing both judgments, the father — whose court filings continue to refer to his child as his “daughter” — argues that the lower court failed to consider the complexity of gender dysphoria and ignored evidence from the experts he had put forward. Instead, the lower court conflated the best interests of his child with his child’s wishes, and the wishes of “conflicted, profit-driven doctors pushing transgender ideology.”

The father, represented by Herb Dunton and Carey Linde, goes on to state that the order preventing him from referring to his child as his daughter is an infringement of his right to freedom of expression and based on a “subjectively determined, unsupportable and patently objectively false version of ‘truth,’ that (his child) is male.”

Lawyers with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms support these arguments, writing that the outcome of the appeal case will have broad implications nationally and that the courts must create parameters for doctors who promote “experimental and elective gender transition to impressionable underage children over the objections of deeply concerned parents.”

The potential consequences of cross-sex hormone treatment are “too grave for children’s immature, developing minds to comprehend appropriately,” they state.

The child’s team of lawyers, led by barbara findlay, submit that the father’s appeal is essentially moot since the child has legally changed his name, the gender on his birth certificate and has been undergoing “partially irreversible testosterone treatments” since the first week of March. (The father had sought a stay in the treatment until the appeal case could be heard, but B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson denied the request earlier this month).

The appeal should fail regardless, they argue, because it is up to treating physicians to determine the best interests of the child. They cite an Alberta appeal court case in which a pregnant 16-year-old girl sought an abortion against the wishes of her parents. “Parental rights (and obligations) clearly do exist and they do not wholly disappear until the age of majority,” the appeal court wrote. “The modern law, however, is that the courts will exercise increasing restraint in that regard as a child grows to and through adolescence.”

On the father’s assertion that his Charter rights had not been considered, the boy’s lawyers argue that freedom of expression is not absolute, nor are parental rights in relation to a child. “Courts have repeatedly held that the infringement of a parent’s … rights is justified where those parental rights conflict with the best interests of a child.”

According to submissions by LGBTQ rights advocates Egale Canada, another intervener in the case, the father’s allegation of censorship is also exaggerated. The limits on his expression, they argue, have “trivial impact” on the ability for society to engage in debate about gender identity,

“If a father had an extensive history of calling his anorexic and suicidal daughter fat … few would claim that limitations on the father’s abusive expressions would warrant constitutional protection. Yet when the victim of that abuse is transgender, free expression suddenly presents itself as a supposed defense.”
