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.'

second, my rant about incompetent guards was about those articles the guy before me linked, about women guards fucking inmates then playing the victim when found out
Yeah, if you're a guard of any sort, no one should have to "find out" you were raped. In the article, in question, I remember there was confusion as to whether it was other prisoners being raped that was hushed up, or whether it was guards. If it was guards and they reported the troon had raped them, then I expect people to absolutely trash the responsible parties for covering that up. If it was other prisoners, there will still be an outcry, but... well...
 
This story is a little odd


Police are investigating a deadly stabbing in Northeast Baltimore.

On Saturday, at about 12:25am, officers were called to the 2200 block of Highview Avenue for a report of a stabbing.

When officers arrived, they found a man with at least one stab wound to his body.

The victim was taken to an area hospital where he died from his injuries.

The victim has been identified as 25-year old Joseph Metzger of Philadelphia, PA.

Man murdered in Baltimore? Not so strange! But he's white and claimed as a tranny.


His FB URL is joseph.metzger.334

But his name is 'Johanna Metzger'


Some kinda tranny pentagram?

was he sacrificing goats to Satan for titty skittles?

It looks like he lived and worked in a music shop in Philadelphia till recently? Drug deal went wrong?

This is Mom


She's quite clear she's lost a son, Joseph

Mom has been on women's marches, supports planned parenthood, anti Trump, etc., so it's kinda weird that she's apparently misgendering her son!?

It's all due to tranny phobia, according the various tranny lobby groups, and not the fact that Baltimore is a violent shithole and this dude was addicted to drugs and went out in the middle of the night to score.

Transgender woman Johanna Metzger was stabbed to death in Baltimore Saturday, making her at least the sixth trans American to be murdered this year.

Metzger, from Pennsylvania, was staying at a recovery center in Baltimore, TV station WMAR reports.

Her death was announced by local LGBTQ center Baltimore Safe Haven and by Baltimore City LGBTQ Affairs, a division of the mayor’s office.

“We are heartbroken to report another trans woman has lost her life to violence here in Baltimore,” Baltimore City LGBTQ Affairs noted on its Facebook page. “Today, we lift up the name and honor the life of Johanna Metzger. We wish comfort to those whose life she touched.”


Few details have been reported about the crime, but the LGBTQ Affairs office is seeking information from the city’s police department, according to the post. LGBTQ Affairs and Baltimore Safe Haven will coordinate a response to the crime.

Metzger was a college graduate and a self-taught musician who played multiple instruments, her mother told WMAR.

Baltimore Safe Haven held a virtual vigil in her memory Tuesday via Zoom. During the vigil, Safe Haven founder Iya Dammons noted that violence against trans people has been going on in the city for years. “The trans community, LGBTQ, nonconforming community matters, and they need to step up and address this throughout the city,” she said. “This has gone on for way too long. … Baltimoreans, are you listening?”
 
Two things from that confusing article.

"transgender men who stopped taking testosterone for an average of four months had similar egg yields to cisgender (nontransgender) women when undergoing ovarian stimulation."

From the press release they linked to:
The study, based on 8 years of patient data, found that trans men who had begun the transition process via testosterone therapy had similar egg yields as those of cisgender female patients. More than one-half the transgender male patients had been on testosterone therapy before undergoing ovarian stimulation cycles, and all had discontinued testosterone for an average of 4 months before starting their treatment cycle.

Think about that what means. More than half had been on testosterone. I'm tired and probably just dumb, there's no way they would let chicks that self-id as dudes be part of a study like that.

"By then, he was married, and decided to get his eggs harvested so his wife, Calla, could get pregnant with his child through in vitro fertilization. Now, he is a father to a son and a daughter, ages 2 and 6."

He harvested his eggs to make his wife pregnant... But what about the... We can rule out that the FtMs brother provided the sperm, that's inbreeding. If they want to have authentic genetic lineage from both mother and father-mothers side, to keep the fantasy going, then there's the possibility that the wife carried her husband and brothers offspring.
Alabama is blushing.
 

Dr. Rachel Levine serves as Pennsylvania's secretary of health. She and Gov. Tom Wolf have been praised for the Keystone State's response to the COVID-19 epidemic. In the past few weeks, these officials have worked swiftly to enact necessary measures like closing public schools and rolling out stay-at-home orders in order to stem the spread of the virus.

Dr. Rachel Levine serves as Pennsylvania's secretary of health. She and Gov. Tom Wolf have been praised for the Keystone State's response to the COVID-19 epidemic. In the past few weeks, these officials have worked swiftly to enact necessary measures like closing public schools and rolling out stay-at-home orders in order to stem the spread of the virus.
Along with Wolf, Levine is one of the public faces of the state's response to the crisis. She regularly appears on television to reassure residents and provide them with updates and health guidelines. "Stay home, stay calm, and stay safe," Levine advised Pennsylvanians during one of these daily briefings.

Long before COVID-19, however, Levine was a respected figure in Pennsylvania's political and health communities. She joined the Wolf administration as the state's physician general in 2015, a position to which she was unanimously confirmed by a predominantly conservative state Senate. In 2017, she was named acting secretary of health, and she was confirmed in the position the following year.
Her credentials are sterling. A graduate of Harvard College and the Tulane University School of Medicine, Levine trained in pediatrics and adolescent medicine at New York City's Mount Sinai Medical Center. In addition to her government posts, she is president-elect of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine. She is a trusted national speaker on issues ranging from the opioid crisis to LGBTQ health issues.
Levine also happens to be a transgender woman. Just prior to Transgender Day of Visibility, Pennsylvania's secretary of health discussed her role in the fight against COVID-19 and how her visibility can make a difference in the fight against anti-LGBTQ stigma. See the conversation below.
The Advocate: What your duties and responsibilities are as secretary of health during the COVID-19 response? What does your day-to-day look like?
Dr. Rachel Levine: I am tasked by the governor to lead the public health response for Pennsylvania for COVID-19. Everything is a team effort. We've had to move our offices for our core team to the office of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association, where we have our location of our Bureau of Public Health Preparedness and our Bureau of EMF. We have formed a command center, which involves all of those persons — of personnel, the public health preparedness, epidemiology, the leadership of our public health nurses — all working together with the staff of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association to deal with this response. Key members of the governor's office are here, including the chief of staff and others. And so we are all working together to direct, under the governor's leadership, the response to this global pandemic.
My day is busy. I get here at 7 and prepare for my day. Our meeting starts at 8, where first I talk with my team for an hour and then I go and speak with the senior staff of the governor's office. And then the senior staff and I and the FEMA director have a meeting and then it goes from there.
I have a daily press conference … sometimes by myself or with the governor to update the public on the status of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania and the response of our administration. I often speak with legislators and other stakeholders. And then we have a 5 o'clock sum-up meeting till 6. And then I go home and do emails.
No “stay at home” for you, then.
No stay at home. And right now it is seven days a week. So we've been at this pace for a while. We're going to do whatever is possible, whatever it takes to protect the public health of Pennsylvania.
And what is Pennsylvania's plan for its response to COVID-19?
I would say our response from a public health point of view is in three different categories. The first is mitigation. What we're trying to do is to mitigate or prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania. We're trying to do that by practicing social distancing. So the governor, a number of weeks ago, closed the schools. … We closed all nonessential, non-life-sustaining businesses. And now we're going region by region doing stay-at-home orders, or sometimes called shelter-at-home orders, where we really want people to stay at home. The best way that we can prevent the spread is through these social distancing and mitigation efforts.
Second is we're working on expanding testing. So that is testing for priority populations such as health care workers, nursing homes, etc., to our public health laboratory. But then we also have worked with hospitals and health systems to [set] up testing centers. And a lot of those tests are either done by the health system or through the commercial laboratories such as Quest or LabCorp. ...
And then the third of the triad is working to make sure that the health care system is prepared for the expected surge of patients that will be coming over the next number of weeks. And through the mitigation efforts, we're hoping to take off the peak of that surge so that our hospitals and health systems can manage it. We'll know we're coming out the other side when we start to see a decrease in the number of new cases — a sustained decrease in the number of new cases. And then we'll be reassessing all of our strategies. But we're not there yet.
How do you personally keep healthy as you're leading this response?
I'm trying to get enough sleep and I'm trying to eat well as best I can. I'm trying to practice what my message is, which is stay calm. I can't stay home because I have to be here, but staying safe. But really, I'm not going out anywhere except here and then home. So not too much exposure outside of here at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association. But it is very important to stay calm and focused in the midst of emergencies. And you know, that's what I learned in my clinical years during my training and then at my time at Mount Sinai and then Penn State when we would see very ill children and adolescents. In those emergency clinical situations, it's important to stay calm, and so that's what I do now.
We know that LGBTQ people are at risk for many health issues. One of them is this strain of coronavirus. What message or advice do you have for members of our community in this scary time?
I think that the message would be the same. I think that our community is certainly at risk from COVID-19. This is a novel coronavirus, which means it's new, no one has any immunity to it. There is no accepted treatment, and we have no vaccine. So that is why it's such a public health threat and why we're seeing a global pandemic.
Overall, our community is vulnerable in general, though, because of the stigma that sometimes we face. I think that there has been a lot of concerns about stigma in the health care community. And so when members of the LGBTQ community need health care, we worry about how we will be received. And so I think that that adds just yet another stress to what everybody is feeling now in these very uncertain times. I think it's critically important that members of the LGBTQ community feel as comfortable as possible accessing medical and health care when necessary, and but I know that that's a worry.
In that vein, we're seeing some religious leaders making headlines blaming LGBTQ people for the spread of the virus. How can we fight against that kind of stigma and misinformation?
That’s the key. I think through fantastic journalism, such as The Advocate and yourself and through other LGBTQ journalists and publications and social media, we have to continually try to get past the stigma that sometimes our community faces. This is not in any way a religious issue. Some people find comfort in their faith. But otherwise, this is a medical and public health issue. And that's how it needs to be. That's how it needs to be addressed. I hope by my being there every day in the trenches with the work that I'm doing, that hopefully demonstrates to the public that members of the LGBTQ community are really just here to work for the public health and for the common good. And hopefully, that means something.
You are one of the public faces of the fight against COVID-19. You're also transgender. What do you hope your visibility achieves in a time when trans people, in particular, are still being demonized and painted as being dangerous to society?
It doesn’t make any difference what my gender identity is. All that matters is my professional work. When I was nominated — first as physician general and then as secretary of health — I was unanimously confirmed as physician general, overwhelmingly confirmed the first time as secretary and then unanimously the second time. I want to be judged upon my work in medicine and in public health and in this difficult time, in my work to help to protect the public health in the face of this global pandemic. It doesn't make any difference what someone's gender identity or sexual orientation is. We're really all in this together.
We’re hearing a lot of doom and gloom from the media. A lot of it is very needed to wake people up to the crisis. But I'm curious as to what gives you hope during this time.
These are very challenging times. They really are. This is a global pandemic that we have not seen in many, many years. And it's understandable that people would certainly be anxious and would have fears and concerns.
What we are trying to do is to ask people to stay very calm and to not fear. I’m a positive and optimistic person and have hope for the future. We're going to come out of this hopefully stronger. That we are hopefully banded together and don't have the different stigmas that separate us. And then hopefully, from a medical perspective, [develop] a stronger public health system, because we know how important public health can be. But I think it's important for our community to stand together and really, for all of us to stand together because nothing [else] shows us how everyone is the same in the face of a pandemic like this.
Do you have a key message, something that you wanted to get out there that you haven't heard through all the noise in the media?
Hope is such an important thing. I think that we have to have hope for the future. I think we have to have hope for the future of our commonwealth in Pennsylvania, hope for the future of our nation. And in relation to some of the things we're talking about, hope for the future for the LGBTQ community. I firmly believe that we have made progress. We have been under challenges and faced a lot of challenges with this current administration. But hopefully, as I said, this will show us how we are all human. We're all in this together and we have to get past petty differences and prejudices that that tend to keep us apart. I hope that there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel and that the future after COVID-19 is even better.

This boomer trooner is often accompanied by an American Sign Language interpreter that’s also a troon.
 
What I read from news articles and alike is that that when the choice is between pain of not having kids and dysphoria, some will choose dysphoria especially since it's just temporary thing. Pregnancy is just small part of parenthood but needs to happen somehow. Getting on testosterone later or taking a brake is scary but worthwhile sacrifice to become parent. Witch doesn't sound unreasonable. Normal heterosexual couples and individuals also do painful sacrifices to become parents, so a transparent doing same shouldn't be that big of deal.

That to be said there have been pretty gross breeding fetishizes posted on Tranny Sideshows on Social Media. FtM troons that want be impregnated and humiliated as females capable of pregnancy despite being totally men. These wierdos get wet and hard from the humiliation and messed up hormones aren't helping. Those nutters do make me think there might something else than basic human desire of children going on.

Still to be fair there could be both normal parenting desires and creepy sexual wierdos. Just because they all have trans label doesn't mean they loose all other differences.
While it is true there are legit dysphoric individuals, whose opinions vary according to the individual, like every other group of people, that can not be said of trans activism, where being an actual tranny isn't enough to legitimise an alternative opinion. And this article is trans activism, so if it wants me to take it seriously, it has to explain how dysphoria is so terrible they will call the fucking police on you for saying there are only two genders, but also tame enough that trannies can carry a baby - literally the most dysphoric thing possible - for nine months - twice. It can't be both.
'Kacen' that's a new one :story:

Troon entitlement/YA book idpol drama shit hits all the targets you'd expect.
I love the list of 'demands' from these fucking cultural terrorists.
The article was changed to their bullshit language, the medical procedure 'double mastectomy' dumbed down for trannies to 'top surgery', but the author hasn't publicly apologised for writing a less than positive review? Burn kirkus to the ground and salt the earth that nothing else may grow there!
 
APRIL 15, 2020
BOISE, Idaho — A lawsuit was filed today challenging Idaho’s recently passed law that bans women and girls who are transgender and many women and girls who are intersex from participating in sports. Gov. Brad Little signed the law, HB 500, making Idaho the first state to impose an outright ban on participation of transgender athletes and the only with a statewide law regulating transgender and intersex athletes in the country.
Today’s lawsuit was filed on behalf of a track athlete at Boise State University who is transgender and a junior at Boise High School who is cisgender and concerned about being subjected to invasive "sex verification” testing under the new law.
“We’re suing because HB 500 illegally targets women and girls who are transgender and intersex and subjects all female athletes to the possibility of invasive genital and genetic screenings,” said Gabriel Arkles, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s LGBT & HIV Project. “In Idaho and around the country, transgender people of all ages have been participating in sports consistent with their gender identity for years. Inclusive teams support all athletes and encourage participation — this should be the standard for all school sports.”
In 2020, over 200 anti-LGBTQ laws were active in state legislatures, including dozens targeting transgender youth. Idaho already has one of the most restrictive policies in the country regulating participation of transgender athletes in high school athletics. This restrictive policy, which will be replaced by HB 500’s outright ban on participation, required girls who are transgender to complete one year of hormone therapy as part of gender transition before competing in girls’ sports. This is the same rule that exists in the NCAA and elite international competition. While activities associations in other states have enacted a range of policies on the inclusion of transgender student athletes, Idaho is the first state to pass a state law governing athletic participation.
“I just want to run with other girls on the team,” said Lindsay Hecox, who moved to Idaho in the hopes of one day joining the track team and cross country teams at BSU. “I run for myself, but part of what I enjoy about the sport is building the relationships with a team. I’m a girl, and the right team for me is the girls’ team.”
"Alongside Idahoans throughout the state, we have been fighting this hateful, unconstitutional legislation since it was introduced,” said ACLU of Idaho Legal Director Ritchie Eppink. “Businesses, major employers, schools, doctors, and counselors have all warned that this law is terrible for Idaho.”
“Embedding this discrimination into Idaho law is unnecessary and harmful to all,” says Legal Voice’s Catherine West. “Female athletes deserve to play, not endure invasive testing or internal and external exams.”
“Governor Little claims he is not a ‘discrimination guy,’ but signing this misguided bill proves otherwise,” says Chelsea Gaona-Lincoln of Legal Voice. “We stand with our transgender siblings and community members impacted by this harmful bill.”
“By discriminating and invading privacy, HB 500 violates the U.S. Constitution and Title IX, and we look forward to presenting our arguments to the court,” said Kathleen Hartnett of Cooley, LLP.
The lawsuit was filed in federal district court by the ACLU and the ACLU of Idaho, Legal Voice, and Cooley LLP.

The ACLU is suing Idaho in federal court for recently passing the law keeping male troons from being allowed to compete against girls on school teams.

They're citing Title IX. I have no clue how likely this is, but I'd love for a case like this to hit the Supreme Court and set a precedent establishing Title IX to be specific to biological sex, not troonery.
 

Dr. Rachel Levine serves as Pennsylvania's secretary of health. She and Gov. Tom Wolf have been praised for the Keystone State's response to the COVID-19 epidemic. In the past few weeks, these officials have worked swiftly to enact necessary measures like closing public schools and rolling out stay-at-home orders in order to stem the spread of the virus.

Dr. Rachel Levine serves as Pennsylvania's secretary of health. She and Gov. Tom Wolf have been praised for the Keystone State's response to the COVID-19 epidemic. In the past few weeks, these officials have worked swiftly to enact necessary measures like closing public schools and rolling out stay-at-home orders in order to stem the spread of the virus.
Along with Wolf, Levine is one of the public faces of the state's response to the crisis. She regularly appears on television to reassure residents and provide them with updates and health guidelines. "Stay home, stay calm, and stay safe," Levine advised Pennsylvanians during one of these daily briefings.

Long before COVID-19, however, Levine was a respected figure in Pennsylvania's political and health communities. She joined the Wolf administration as the state's physician general in 2015, a position to which she was unanimously confirmed by a predominantly conservative state Senate. In 2017, she was named acting secretary of health, and she was confirmed in the position the following year.
Her credentials are sterling. A graduate of Harvard College and the Tulane University School of Medicine, Levine trained in pediatrics and adolescent medicine at New York City's Mount Sinai Medical Center. In addition to her government posts, she is president-elect of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine. She is a trusted national speaker on issues ranging from the opioid crisis to LGBTQ health issues.
Levine also happens to be a transgender woman. Just prior to Transgender Day of Visibility, Pennsylvania's secretary of health discussed her role in the fight against COVID-19 and how her visibility can make a difference in the fight against anti-LGBTQ stigma. See the conversation below.
The Advocate: What your duties and responsibilities are as secretary of health during the COVID-19 response? What does your day-to-day look like?
Dr. Rachel Levine: I am tasked by the governor to lead the public health response for Pennsylvania for COVID-19. Everything is a team effort. We've had to move our offices for our core team to the office of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association, where we have our location of our Bureau of Public Health Preparedness and our Bureau of EMF. We have formed a command center, which involves all of those persons — of personnel, the public health preparedness, epidemiology, the leadership of our public health nurses — all working together with the staff of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association to deal with this response. Key members of the governor's office are here, including the chief of staff and others. And so we are all working together to direct, under the governor's leadership, the response to this global pandemic.
My day is busy. I get here at 7 and prepare for my day. Our meeting starts at 8, where first I talk with my team for an hour and then I go and speak with the senior staff of the governor's office. And then the senior staff and I and the FEMA director have a meeting and then it goes from there.
I have a daily press conference … sometimes by myself or with the governor to update the public on the status of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania and the response of our administration. I often speak with legislators and other stakeholders. And then we have a 5 o'clock sum-up meeting till 6. And then I go home and do emails.
No “stay at home” for you, then.
No stay at home. And right now it is seven days a week. So we've been at this pace for a while. We're going to do whatever is possible, whatever it takes to protect the public health of Pennsylvania.
And what is Pennsylvania's plan for its response to COVID-19?
I would say our response from a public health point of view is in three different categories. The first is mitigation. What we're trying to do is to mitigate or prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania. We're trying to do that by practicing social distancing. So the governor, a number of weeks ago, closed the schools. … We closed all nonessential, non-life-sustaining businesses. And now we're going region by region doing stay-at-home orders, or sometimes called shelter-at-home orders, where we really want people to stay at home. The best way that we can prevent the spread is through these social distancing and mitigation efforts.
Second is we're working on expanding testing. So that is testing for priority populations such as health care workers, nursing homes, etc., to our public health laboratory. But then we also have worked with hospitals and health systems to [set] up testing centers. And a lot of those tests are either done by the health system or through the commercial laboratories such as Quest or LabCorp. ...
And then the third of the triad is working to make sure that the health care system is prepared for the expected surge of patients that will be coming over the next number of weeks. And through the mitigation efforts, we're hoping to take off the peak of that surge so that our hospitals and health systems can manage it. We'll know we're coming out the other side when we start to see a decrease in the number of new cases — a sustained decrease in the number of new cases. And then we'll be reassessing all of our strategies. But we're not there yet.
How do you personally keep healthy as you're leading this response?
I'm trying to get enough sleep and I'm trying to eat well as best I can. I'm trying to practice what my message is, which is stay calm. I can't stay home because I have to be here, but staying safe. But really, I'm not going out anywhere except here and then home. So not too much exposure outside of here at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Association. But it is very important to stay calm and focused in the midst of emergencies. And you know, that's what I learned in my clinical years during my training and then at my time at Mount Sinai and then Penn State when we would see very ill children and adolescents. In those emergency clinical situations, it's important to stay calm, and so that's what I do now.
We know that LGBTQ people are at risk for many health issues. One of them is this strain of coronavirus. What message or advice do you have for members of our community in this scary time?
I think that the message would be the same. I think that our community is certainly at risk from COVID-19. This is a novel coronavirus, which means it's new, no one has any immunity to it. There is no accepted treatment, and we have no vaccine. So that is why it's such a public health threat and why we're seeing a global pandemic.
Overall, our community is vulnerable in general, though, because of the stigma that sometimes we face. I think that there has been a lot of concerns about stigma in the health care community. And so when members of the LGBTQ community need health care, we worry about how we will be received. And so I think that that adds just yet another stress to what everybody is feeling now in these very uncertain times. I think it's critically important that members of the LGBTQ community feel as comfortable as possible accessing medical and health care when necessary, and but I know that that's a worry.
In that vein, we're seeing some religious leaders making headlines blaming LGBTQ people for the spread of the virus. How can we fight against that kind of stigma and misinformation?
That’s the key. I think through fantastic journalism, such as The Advocate and yourself and through other LGBTQ journalists and publications and social media, we have to continually try to get past the stigma that sometimes our community faces. This is not in any way a religious issue. Some people find comfort in their faith. But otherwise, this is a medical and public health issue. And that's how it needs to be. That's how it needs to be addressed. I hope by my being there every day in the trenches with the work that I'm doing, that hopefully demonstrates to the public that members of the LGBTQ community are really just here to work for the public health and for the common good. And hopefully, that means something.
You are one of the public faces of the fight against COVID-19. You're also transgender. What do you hope your visibility achieves in a time when trans people, in particular, are still being demonized and painted as being dangerous to society?
It doesn’t make any difference what my gender identity is. All that matters is my professional work. When I was nominated — first as physician general and then as secretary of health — I was unanimously confirmed as physician general, overwhelmingly confirmed the first time as secretary and then unanimously the second time. I want to be judged upon my work in medicine and in public health and in this difficult time, in my work to help to protect the public health in the face of this global pandemic. It doesn't make any difference what someone's gender identity or sexual orientation is. We're really all in this together.
We’re hearing a lot of doom and gloom from the media. A lot of it is very needed to wake people up to the crisis. But I'm curious as to what gives you hope during this time.
These are very challenging times. They really are. This is a global pandemic that we have not seen in many, many years. And it's understandable that people would certainly be anxious and would have fears and concerns.
What we are trying to do is to ask people to stay very calm and to not fear. I’m a positive and optimistic person and have hope for the future. We're going to come out of this hopefully stronger. That we are hopefully banded together and don't have the different stigmas that separate us. And then hopefully, from a medical perspective, [develop] a stronger public health system, because we know how important public health can be. But I think it's important for our community to stand together and really, for all of us to stand together because nothing [else] shows us how everyone is the same in the face of a pandemic like this.
Do you have a key message, something that you wanted to get out there that you haven't heard through all the noise in the media?
Hope is such an important thing. I think that we have to have hope for the future. I think we have to have hope for the future of our commonwealth in Pennsylvania, hope for the future of our nation. And in relation to some of the things we're talking about, hope for the future for the LGBTQ community. I firmly believe that we have made progress. We have been under challenges and faced a lot of challenges with this current administration. But hopefully, as I said, this will show us how we are all human. We're all in this together and we have to get past petty differences and prejudices that that tend to keep us apart. I hope that there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel and that the future after COVID-19 is even better.

Ironic that this guy’s specialty prior to his state job was as the chief of adolescent medicine and the eating disorder clinic at Penn State. Nothing like a man insisting he’s a woman telling anorexics they’re not really fat.

ETA: Some near decade-old reviews of Levine when he was practicing. As he was treating ED patients, these patients are more than likely female. *Located the full reviews*

sounds serious, don't it?
It's hard to tell if that's a tranny problem or a narcissist problem, or maybe those two categories just continue to converge. Maybe the reason your identity is disappearing is because your identity is an act that you only upkeep for the attention it gets you, hm?
 
first, i don't buy the part about "perfectly reasonable people whose lives were destroyed either by drug laws or by the drugs themselves" ending up in supermax facilities. from what i know supermax prisons are where they put people like ted kaczynski and the guy who helped tim mcveigh build his bombs, not random druggies unless they are in for serious shit like murder or have attacked guards at other prisons

second, my rant about incompetent guards was about those articles the guy before me linked, about women guards fucking inmates then playing the victim when found out

you are correct that they weren't put in supermax for simple drug possession. i said drugs or drug-laws ruined their lives. One guy, whom even my curmudgeon commanding officer thought was a 'sweetheart' was a guy who thought he'd make some money to support his family in Mexico by running drugs into the US. He got caught, and as the DEA surrounded his house he had watched too many movies, so he pulled out a gun and fired once, wildly. He then realized how stupid he'd been, dropped the gun, and surrendered. His choice to pull out a gun and fire on DEA agents changed this from a couple of years in a medium security ranch into attempted murder of a federal LEO with an enhancement for using a firearm in the commission of a felony. This guy was okay. I'd have him as a neighbor. Another guy was a weed dealer who shot someone robbing him, and got life for murder. had he been selling shoes instead of weed he wouldn't have spent one night in jail. No, i would not have wanted him as a neighbor, since he was kind of a piece of work. And he was also smuggling heroin into the U.S. A third was an okay enough guy who was doing a drug deal when someone--i was never clear who--pulled out a gun. everyone else pulled their guns and by the time it was all done three people were dead. he got three life terms. still not a bad guy. and a final one for now. some guy was a small time dealer, basically just getting enough money to raise his family. he got popped and sentenced to a couple of years in medium security. then in prison he joined a prison gang, committed crimes inside, and got moved up in security level and also in time. no, i would not have him as a neighbor, not because of his crimes, but because he's one of those people who when you talk to him he always seems tightly wound, like a guitar string tightened way too much. he always made me a bit nervous, and would have made me nervous on the outside.

Lately, it's occurred to me that a big reason why trannies suddenly have an increase in confidence when they "come out" is that they've switched from being themselves to presenting a new persona that has little relationship with who they actually are.

It seems similar to what happens when I wear a costume on Halloween. At first I feel apprehensive because I figure I look ridiculous, but, once I get more comfortable in the costume, it seems to give me more confidence. I could see myself doing things in a costume that I'd be too chickenshit to do as myself. Like I'd be less timid about flirting with someone or speaking frankly to someone even if it might hurt their feelings.

When I see parents report how much more confident their kids suddenly are after trooning out, I wonder if it's something similar. That shy girl is suddenly a "confident boy", not because her true identity had been suppressed for so long, but because that "confident boy" is an act, and living in the world as an act, and not yourself, gives you permission to do things you'd be too scared to do.

Anyway, TL;DR version: I bet this woman is having an identity crisis right now because she's being denied the opportunity to pretend to be someone else. At home, she's Kate, the insecure, self-hating lesbian and not Kayden, the confident "straight man".

In her case it's the opposite.

At home she is the insecure, self-hating straight woman and not the confident gay man. But it's not like she was really confident before since she was screeching about gay men not being attracted to her.

Things are really bad when not even the troon internet echo chamber can hugbox and validate her doubts away.
 
So trannies are trying to have gay men murdered now, using Grindr.


An Instagram influencer's video has started a dangerous trend where women are outing gay men in Morocco — where homosexuality is illegal — after encouraging her followers there to download gay dating apps to see which men in their area identify as such.

Naoufal Moussa, a trans woman based in Turkey who is also known as Sofia Talouni, shared an Instagram Live on Monday. Speaking in Moroccan Arabic in the video, she suggested that transphobic or homophobic women should download gay dating apps, including Grindr and PlanetRomeo, using pictures of men.

Moussa's Instagram account was removed on Friday, but a portion of the video can be seen in the post below from LGBTQ activist Adam Eli, who previously advocated for Moussa's removal from Instagram. [Editor's note: Business Insider reporter Irene Jiang assisted with Arabic translations. Insider's translations of the video are largely consistent with those posted by Adam Eli in his video.]

"These apps will show you the people who are near to you. 100 meters, 200 meters, even just one meter, just next to you in the living room," Moussa said in her video. "Since everyone is together at home, it could show you your husband in your bedroom, it could show you your son who might be in the bathroom."

While Naoufal Moussa didn't explicitly say people should use the apps to publicly out men in her video, multiple gay Moroccan men told Insider that it has led to a dangerous trend
A number of gay Moroccan men, who asked to remain anonymous in order to speak frankly, told Insider that many people are using the apps to out men in their community. And in some cases, they say, men are being kicked out of their homes in the midst of the pandemic.

In the days since Moussa's video was posted, they say Facebook groups have been used to circulate pictures of the gay men on these apps, exposing them to humiliation and danger. One man told Insider on WhatsApp that had he not quickly deleted his pictures from Grindr, he would be "in a very dangerous situation right now."

After Insider reached out to Instagram for a comment, Moussa's account was taken down, along with many other Facebook and Instagram videos encouraging people to out gay men.

"We don't allow people to out members of the LGBTQ+ community. It puts people at risk, so we remove this content as quickly as we can," a spokesperson for Facebook told Insider in a statement.

Moussa had not yet responded to Insider's requests for comment through direct messages on Instagram in the hours before her account was disabled.

Before Moussa's Instagram account was suspended, activists like Eli, and a Moroccan LGBTQ and feminist advocacy organization, Nassawiyat, called for the influencer's removal from the photo-sharing platform.

"We are facing a special case where a queer person that belongs to the community in a way is the one who made people in danger," a representative for Nassawiyat told Insider in an email.



Another gay Moroccan man, who is 19, told Insider that his photos are currently circulating online but haven't reached his family yet.

"I'm not just afraid," he told Insider via WhatsApp. "I'm certain that I will be kicked out immediately. Or worse, beaten up."

"It is a witch hunt," said one 20-year-old man, whose pictures are also circulating in Facebook groups as he waits for his family to learn of the news. He said he wishes his parents would just find the photos already so he'd be done with it, and "defend himself" with the "lies" that he's been preparing.

"I'm living in constant fright," he added.

'Lewd or unnatural acts' between members of the same sex are illegal in Morocco under Article 489 of the nation's penal code and can lead to a fine and sentence of up to three years' imprisonment
Ahmed Benchemsi, the communications and advocacy director for the Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa division, told Insider that he's been looking into the recent trend sparked by Moussa's Instagram Live.

According to Benchemsi, Moussa was directing her comments at people who had insulted her for her own sexuality and encouraging them to realize how many people around them were actually gay.

He said the outcome of Moussa's Instagram clips can be attributed to the Moroccan government's encouragement of homophobic behavior.

"The law inherently discriminates against LGBTQ people, so it can only be an incubator for this type of abuse," Benchemsi said. "Homophobic people feel empowered because the law is on their side."

Because of this, being gay in Morocco is extremely dangerous, and there have been many incidents of violence against LGBTQ individuals in the country. In 2016, a group of men broke into a home and beat up two gay men before dragging them naked onto the street, according to Human Rights Watch. In response, a Moroccan court first pressed charges against the gay men, before the attackers.

Eddine, a 23-year-old openly gay Moroccan who is also an Instagram influencer and lives in Rabat, said that while his parents have grown to respect him in the three years since he chose to come out, he doesn't want his friends to go through this pain.

"I'm very worried and I'm very scared. I really experienced that moment when my parents knew. I left my home because I didn't feel good," he told Insider.

Eddine, who asked that his last name be withheld, said that as a popular Instagram influencer, he feels that it's his duty as a publicly gay man to speak up for his community.

"The majority of people cannot talk," he said.

Eddine and other members of the community told Insider they've reached out to dating apps like Grindr and PlanetRomeo to hopefully have all users notified of the situation.

Jens Schmidt, the founder and CEO of PlanetRomeo, told Insider in a statement that the company sent a security message to its Morocco-based users after being alerted to the issue.

"We were shocked when we were contacted by the LGBT group in Morocco. We took immediate action by sending a security message to all our 41,000 users in Morocco, we blocked all profiles created from the time this person addressed her users, and contacted Facebook to have the group page taken offline," Schmidt said. "Through our work and our personal experience, we are aware that so many more people face similar threats in numerous countries."

Similar issues with gay dating apps have occurred in other Middle Eastern and North African nations, including Egypt, where gay men have been catfished and then blackmailed or beaten up.

Representatives for Grindr did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.

AFAICT the thinking is:

Naoufal Moussa is a (trans) woman. Who likes to fuck men.

This is not at all gay, not even a tiny bit, it's man on woman.

OTOH, men having sex with men is gay and an abomination and they should all be thrown off buildings.

So Naoufal is doing the world a favour by ridding us of those beastly faggots so it is only men having sex with women, as Allah intended.

I think there's an element of that, yes. But there's also the fact that a mediocre person suddenly becomes "brave and stunning" and a member of the "most persecuted minority group on earth" so everything they do and say is lauded and applauded. They get the asspats, attention and validation they craved but didn't get before.
