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.'

He just shifted a few sections and changed reactions because some people can't handle being negrated or something.

Pretty much what Dante said, there was these fags that negatively reacted to anything that they didnt like and that triggered some people. Instead of telling both sides to quit being autists, he decided to "punish" Happenings and Articles'n News by giving these reduced reaction icons and the faggy "respectfully disagree but still love you". Hopefully its temporary but who knows.

I almost guarantee it's over the fucking "DELETE A&H" faggots.

Since the “thumbs down” isn’t used much and this thread desperately needs a “horrifying” reaction, I suggest we make “thumbs down” = “horrifying” for the time being.

I almost guarantee it's over the fucking "DELETE A&H" faggots.

Personally, I don't want A&N deleted, and that shit annoys me as much as "delete /pol/" on 4chan. I just want to be able to rate them Autistic and shit.

 

[TowinKarz]

The only reason we don't have negratings in A&H anymore is because people who couldn't take being given negratings probably went crying to Null, thus proving the negratings were deserved in the first place, but whatever.

How do you "accidentally" put glue in your hair? What a faggot.

Especially when you can't find it in the hair care aisle, it doesn't say anything on the bottle about being used topically (in fact, it says not to let it touch your skin) and the applicator tip only lets out a little bit at a time because you literaly don't need more than a drop for any intended application.... and is this ANOTHER fuckin' person? Not the original one?

Good lord, I dont' wanna Google how many people are copying someone who went to the ER because it's cool now.... or they're hoping for a class action lawsuit...

Null has always been a staunch defender of the autistic and insane. I support his decision and hope that he will possibly add some different, comedy ratings, in time.

The Case of Transgender Athletes. Why Sports Aren't Fair and That's OK

Between the growing number of states passing legislation to prevent transgender and intersex athletes from competing as women and the opportunity presented by a new administration, the debate about who gets to play and how in the United States is heating up.

Montana joined Idaho and 14 other states with legislation passed or pending to prevent transgender and intersex athletes from competing as women. Recently, the Women's Sports Policy Working Group—a new collection of scholars and elite athletes absent of transgender members—presented a controversial plan that would allow transgender women to compete as women only if they take hormones or medically transition, a policy which poses problems for intersex women as well as transgender women who do not take hormones or pursue medical transition.

In the cases of both transgender and intersex athletes, supporters of gender testing and medical intervention argue that these policies are needed in order to make sports fair for women. But the hard truth is that sports aren't fair.

They aren't fair for a broad range of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with anatomy or hormones. No one can excel at a sport to which they've never been exposed, and categories of inequality like social class, race and nationality dictate who has the opportunity to pick up a golf club, a soccer ball or a baseball bat.

Social class is an especially important determinant of both access to and success in sports because, put simply, playing sports costs money. Typically, American families spend $700 per year on their child's sports activities, but for some families the costs climb as high as $35,000. Among families earning less than $50,000 a year, cost was cited as the main reason for their child opting out of sports. At the elite level of any sport, the majority of athletes who are still on the field are there because of an invisible accumulation of unfair monetary advantages.

In addition to social class, there's the leg-up that comes with knowing the right people, still an important component of sporting success. NFL quarterbacks and brothers Peyton and Eli Manning benefitted from having a father who played in the NFL, providing insight, knowledge and connections. In fact, in many men's professional leagues participation is passed down like an inheritance.

Is it fair that Ken Griffey Jr., a Hall of Fame baseball player, was able to learn to play from his father, a three-time All-Star? Or that NBA star Stephen Curry benefited from his father, Dell Curry's experiences during his own extensive NBA career?

Sports aren't fair for physiological reasons too, not only because of differences that have to do with gender alone. Men and women—whether cisgender or transgender—exist along a continuum of size, speed and ability and there are only a handful of sports which account for these natural physical differences in the interest of "fairness."

Weight classes exist in boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling and ultimate fighting because it's deemed unfair for a 126 pound featherweight to compete against a 200-plus pound heavyweight. Most other sports have no size or weight restrictions on athletes, accepting these physical inequalities as a normal part of competition.

Athletes do bring genetic advantages to the field, but we are blind to those advantages that have nothing to do with gender. Studies show that some elite runners and cyclists have rare conditions that give them extraordinary advantages when it comes to their muscles' ability to absorb oxygen and their resistance against fatigue.

Some basketball players have acromegaly, a hormonal condition that results in very large hands and feet. This condition is surely a genetic advantage in the sport, but players with acromegaly are not banned.

Some doctors speculate that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has Marfan syndrome, a genetic condition that results in the long, flexible arms and legs that made Phelps such a force in the pool. Major league baseball players tend to have extraordinary eyesight, which allows them to see the seams on a tiny ball hurtling toward them at high speeds and hit it with greater success than those with poorer vision.

In all these ways, sports aren't fair and yet, these types of inequalities are not just acceptable, but mostly unnoticed. For those like Republican legislators in Montana and other states, the real reason for clinging to the necessity of gender testing isn't about fairness, but the need to protect and reinforce the idea of gender itself.

In a world that is increasingly gender integrated and where the strict roles laid out for men and women are loosening, sports remain one of the last strongholds for the cult of gender differences. Preventing transgender and intersex women from competing has nothing to do with fairness, but with the ways in which their inclusion calls into question the meaningfulness of gender as a category in the first place.

Sports aren't fair in all these ways, but there are more important values than fairness at stake in the debates about transgender and intersex athletes—values like equality, teamwork, access and inclusion.

High school sports are an important way for athletes to build self-esteem and develop connections to both their schools and communities. The American Psychological Association is one among many organizations that recommend allowing transgender kids to compete in sports in ways consistent with their gender identity. Their studies have shown no signs that doing so impacts the sport.

Transgender children and teens are already at risk from higher rates of bullying and harassment. Almost half of all teenage transgender boys and 30 percent of teenage transgender girls have attempted suicide at some point in their lives.

How can we justify depriving this vulnerable group from the potential benefits of sports? In the end, it's that cruelty that truly isn't fair.

The author admits that this poses a problem for "transgender women who do not take hormones or pursue medical transition" and fails to reason how someone like that could possibly be considered a woman and not just a dude in a dress. I think the real question that needs to be out in the open is: at what point is a transwoman a True and Honest woman? Up until recently, it was generally assumed that legit transwomen had gone through extensive medical procedures and/or surgery, and that's a big part of what set them apart from transvestites. Now it seems like just saying you are a woman is enough, which is absolutely retarded.

This is more an argument in favor of just abolishing men's and women's sports altogether and forcing them all to compete against one another.

Or creating a Troon league, I'm surprised a bit that they don't want their own league where they'd be front and center all the time.... until I realized a dude in a dress running around with the rest of the field hockey team is also a way to be front and center....

somehow i knew this robyn ryle person would look like this. how could i have guessed?

publishing trans gibberish, as well as telling women to STFU & stop complaining about men winning, is their "job" of course.

teaches at Hanover college. "suitable for all ages" right.

Suitable for all ages, “She/He/They/Me: For the Sisters, Misters, and Binary Resisters” delves into the meaning of being a boy, girl or something else entirely. Using more than 100 scenarios that incorporate definitions of gender from around the world, through history and even in today’s broad domains, the work examines how gender changes the way people approach life, death, sex and love.

Ryle, who has taught at Hanover since 2004, is a member of the American Sociological Association and served on the editorial board of Teaching Sociology, an academic journal. She received bachelor’s degrees in sociology and English, with a concentration in women’s studies, at Millsaps College. She earned master’s and doctoral degrees in sociology at Indiana University-Bloomington.

its like terfs make these guys in laboratories.

i would be ashamed if i were them, but then, i'd be ashamed to join the ladies team too.
