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.'

Ex-prostitute Elisa Crespo vies to become first trans member of NYC Council​

An ex-prostitute who was busted in a police sting is running to become the first trans woman on the City Council — representing the heart of the Bronx.

3A3B2F40-3A34-4F7D-BE7F-A8ACD824D116.jpeg

Elisa Crespo, 30, is one of the candidates seeking to succeed outgoing Councilman Ritchie Torres in the 15th council district — representing Belmont, Fordham, Tremont, Mount Hope, Allerton, Van Nest, West Farms, and Bedford Park.

Torres — the first openly gay person to get elected in the borough — is vacating the seat in January after getting electedto Congress. A special election to replace him is expected to take place in March.

Crespo’s candidacy is a remarkable comeback story.

Crespo was arrested in Jacksonville, Fla. on November 14, 2012 after posting a sex/escort ad on the internet.

As it turned out, the two men showed up at her hotel room for oral sex were undercover cops in the Jacksonville police vice squad, who arrested her for prostitution.

Far from running away from her past, Crespo is addressing her work as a “survival sex worker” head-on.

“I am no longer engaged in sex work,” she told The Post.

Crespo, who transitioned to female at the age of 15, said getting arrested and spending time in jail was a low point that triggered a turnaround in her life.

“I was in a complicated struggle to make ends meet. A lack of job opportunities for trans women of color led me to sex work. Through this experience I wound up in Florida, where I was arrested and incarcerated with cisgender men. That moment transformed my life forever. It helped me begin my journey in civic engagement,” Crespo said during a recent political rally.

Crespo went back to school and earned a degree in political science from CUNY’s John Jay College, interned with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) and currently serves as an education aide to Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.

She told The Post she’s concerned that critics or rivals are attempting to “weaponize transphobia” by dredging up her arrest.

“It’s shameful. People are upset at the momentum my campaign is getting,” she said.

Elisa Crespo
Crespo, a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialist of America’s Bronx chapter, told The Post she supports state legislation to decriminalize prostitution — by no longer punishing paid sex between two consulting adults.

“Sex work is work,” she said.

Crespo said she turned tricks to support her mother — who was in an abusive relationship — as well as herself.

“It’s an unfortunate fact that trans woman and sex work go hand in hand,” Crespo said during an interview with empoweredtranswoman.com

“It’s not something I wanted to do. It’s dangerous. We’re putting ourselves in front of strangers that we don’t know who can harm us.”

Crespo said many trans woman don’t escape the life of sex work and wants to be a role model and trailblazer in politics.

“I feel the very weight of my community on my shoulders. It’s very important for me to show people we can do this. We’re not defined by our past. If we want to get into the arena, we have the right to do it — and we can do it,” she said.

“I’m hoping to inspire a new generation of people not only in The Bronx but across New York City.”

Crespo said she’s optimistic many Bronxites will be open to her candidacy but admitted there’s are older, “socially conservative” residents who may have misgivings.

“We’ll see on Election Day,” Crespo said.

One prominent Bronx politico and LGBT trailblazer — Councilman and Congressman-elect Torres — said Crespo has a shot at succeeding him.

“The race of CD 15 has several serious candidates, and Elisa is certainly one of them,” Torres said.

“My decisive election to Congress has shown that sexual orientation and gender identity are no longer insurmountable barriers to winning elected office in the Bronx.”

Allen Roskoff, president of the citywide Jim Owles LGBT Democratic Club said, “Elisa is a formidable candidate. She’s running a great campaign. I think the world of her.”

Elisa Crespo
There is no shortage of competition for the seat. Other candidates include Ischia Bravo, district manager for Community Board 7 who was a former housing aide to outgoing Congressman Jose Serrano and executive director of the Bronx Democratic Party; Oswald Feliz of the Northwest Democrats for Change, Community Board 6 district manager John Sanchez; and Latchmi Gopal, a first generation Guyanese-American and Bronx DSA member who helps run Unemployed Workers United, among others.

Catherine Hanssens, Founding Executive Director of The Center for HIV Law and Policy, expressed optimism about Crespo’s candidacy.

“Ms. Crespo’s lived experience and obvious talent are exactly what we need to address overcriminalization and bias that limit employment, housing and education opportunities. It is thrilling to see a candidate with the courage to challenge the criminalization of sex work,” Hanssens said.

During an interview with The Post, Crespo emphasized that she has a policy agenda to aid the working class and poor residents of the Bronx’s 15th CD and citywide.

She said we should adopt an FDR-style infrastructure-jobs program to employ residents.

“We should have more vocational and trade schools,” Crespo said.

TL;DR: Gay male prostitute seeks to become female councilwoman.

Laverne Cox says 'it's not safe if you're a trans person' after attack

1606743443886.png


Orange is the New Black star Laverne Cox has said "it's not safe if you're a trans person" after being caught up in a transphobic attack in Los Angeles.

Cox posted a 10-minute Instagram video explaining she had been walking with a friend in a park on Sunday when a man "aggressively" asked for the time.

He then proceeded to ask the friend if Cox was a "guy or girl?"

The man then physically attacked her friend, according to the star, who said she was "still in shock".

"The guy is like hitting my friend, and then my friend is going toward him," said Cox.

"I pull out my phone and I call to dial 911, and all of a sudden it's over and the guy is gone."

She added: "The guy really wanted me to answer so that he could spook whether I'm trans or not. I don't know why it matters. At the end of the day, it's like who cares?

"I'm in a hoodie and yoga pants, I'm completely covered up, I've got my mask on. Who cares if I'm trans? How does this affect your life?"

Cox played Sophia Burset in Orange is the New Black, the Netflix comedy drama series about inmates at a US women's prison. She became the first transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy Award.

She said she had dealt with similarly transphobic incidents a lot in New York, but that "it never fails to be shocking".

'It's just really sad'

The 48-year-old said she had "been harassed and bullied my whole life" and felt "lucky and grateful" that her friend was there this weekend. The attack, she said, was a reminder that "it's not safe in the world".

"It's not safe if you're a trans person. Obviously, I know this well. It's just really sad," she sighed.

"It doesn't matter who you are. You can be Laverne Cox, you know, or whatever that means. If you're trans, you're going to experience stuff like this."

Last month, UK crime statistics obtained by the BBC showed there had been a 25% increase in reports of transphobic hate crimes in the UK.

Transphobic hate crime: 'You don't feel protected'
Reacting to the news of Cox's attack in the US, fellow actress Sharon Stone posted: "That's a lot to process. You seem like you're back on solid ground now. Good job."

Little Fires Everywhere star Kerry Washington added: "Woman!!!!!!!! Ugh. I am so sorry. Love you."

Meanwhile, artist and photographer Texas Isaiah wrote: "I'm so sorry. I'm glad you and your friend are okay. I'm sending love and protection y'all's way!"

Jessica Alba offered: "I'm so sorry. So glad you are safe."

 
"I pull out my phone and I call to dial 911, and all of a sudden it's over and the guy is gone."
And yet no footage of the attack
:thinking:

Cox is a six foot tall black man in a big blonde wig. He’s going to get clocked.

Many people have experiences with getting singled out by some stranger on the street, women especially. That’s life Rod.

When people tell a story in the present tense it's usually because they're making it up as they go along. If they're describing events that actually happened, they'll almost always use past tense.

He never mentioned being trans. If you are confident that you are a woman, and that women can have manly features, why would this question bother you? It’s a weird thing to randomly ask a stranger but women get these things all the time. It’s amazing to see how trans women seem to be shocked that men will make unwanted physical comments towards anyone remotely feminine.

The man then physically attacked her friend, according to the star, who said she was "still in shock".
Something is missing here. He questions the trans woman about the time, asks the friend if the trans woman is a man or a woman, and then just hits the friend out of nowhere? He either has mental illness or something is not being mentioned. Why are only the man’s words and actions (aside from below) described?

"The guy is like hitting my friend, and then my friend is going toward him," said Cox.
The friend is close enough to be hit but not close enough to hit back?

I think the incident probably did happen, but there is more to the story.

It doesn't even flow as though asking Cox if he's a guy is the reason the guy attacked. "Do you have the time" is the modern mugger's pick-up line, they ask you to take out your phone to check the time and then they snatch it. I had someone try this on me when I was out walking late at night and I guessed the time within ten minutes or so without stopping, and the guy shouted at me "no but what's the actual time?" from ten feet away as I left him behind. Like buddy... please.

But if Cox stopped and responded with the time, the mugger is just thinking, "well he hasn't taken his phone out yet so I just need to ask some stupid question to keep him from walking off so I can finish the mugging however I can," or even "fuck it's a troon, I'm not sure I can mug a man this tall," and botched the follow-through.

Honestly, it's privilege and ignorance of how normal people live to interpret any violent interaction with a stranger on the street that starts with "what time is it" as anything more than a mugging.

And yet even during this allegedly transphobic hate crime, Cox wasn't attacked, the person with him was. So it obviously is safe if you're a transperson. Even transphobes attack the person standing next to you.
