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.'

Student Suspended From Education Program For Saying, ‘A Man Is A Man, A Woman Is A Woman’​

The university claims that Stevens violated the school’s inclusivity doctrine, which requires teachers to foster “a diverse campus community marked by mutual respect for the unique talents and contributions of each individual.”

The Dean also insinuated that future teachers are required to support all aspects of homosexuality and gender identity. During one of his Instagram videos, Stevens said, “A man is a man, a woman is a woman. A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.” The Dean told Stevens that his scientific stance on biology is “in conflict” with the state’s Dignity for All Students Act.

“You continue to maintain, ‘I do not recognize the gender that they claim to be if they are not biologically that gender,’” the Dean said. “This public position is in conflict with the Dignity for All Students Act requiring teachers to maintain a classroom environment protecting the mental and emotional well-being of all students.”

YAS QUEEN
 
But shouldn't that be fine? "A man is a man" should be consistent with troons ideology - after all, don't they claim to BE the gender that they are? Like, MtFs claim to be female, so that quote should fit with that?

I fucking swear, trans ideology is just trying to make people accept the most ludicruous stances possible, stances and claims that make 0 sense (in this case, that a man can BE a woman, despite then also being a man...?) and are inconsistent as fuck.

Trans shit is just about how far you can push people to agree to the craziest and most bullshit filled lies, before there's a pushback.

But why? Why don't they look at that quote and think if it fits with the already established trans doctrine? Why do they insist on making up more extreme claims everyday?

I've seen some people claim it's an attempt at demoralization; because after all, if you can agree to, and repeat, the most egregious lies, then you don't have the spirit to push back anymore, not against this, not against anything. Making a population more accepting. Literal hypernormalisation - forcing people to repeat something they know is wrong. And everyday that seems more and more likely.
 
I both like and hate this.
I made a post about that in I&T about Microsoft but I don't think Google works any differently. Don't know about Apple. MS will do scans of the content of your cloud drive even if if doesn't have anything sahred or outward facing. They run the filter for known child porn and they also run a filter to detect skin tones and such and if the program flags it it gets sent to manual review and they obfuscate where it came from to make it anonymous. Most of what gets sent to manual review isn't child porn though, it's just your family pictures that triggered the porn filter.

It reminds me of the old days when pictures weren't digital and the people developing the film and photos surely didn't do anything that would violate your privacy unless it was CP. A vital step in computer repair was to search for *.jpg and make sure everything was intact, any CP would be reported. Makes you think about that celebrity iCloud hack that looked like it came from more sources than breached accounts... That's just wild speculation but it wouldn't surprise me.
 
A lot of women really master the technical aspects of sports better than men do simply because they can't rely on sheer athleticism to win. Unfortunately for them technical proficiency is just far less entertaining to watch than physical prowess.
I think the competent WNBA teams are far more interesting to watch than the NBA teams are. One is playmaking and teamwork on offense and defense, the other is genetic freaks powering their way to absurd scores because defense is a thing of the past.

The WNBA is interesting for the same reasons olympic hockey, even staffed with pros, is more interesting than the NHL.

New, more inclusive journal policies ease author name changes on published papers​

When Teddy Goetz—a fourth-year medical student at Columbia University—applied to residency programs in October 2020, he felt as though he had no choice but to out himself as transgender. “I had to put my birth name all over my application because of my publications, and that was really upsetting,” he says. He changed his legal name to Teddy last year. But many of his papers listed him using his birth name.

Before submitting his applications, Goetz had contacted every journal he’d published in—14 in total—to request they change his name. Two journals offered to change his name and issue a correction notice. Many others didn’t have a policy to deal with author name changes and refused to change his name without one. It was disheartening, but he continued to press the journals to accommodate his request. Now, his name is changed or in the process of being changed on all but one of his publications. “It’s been a very long process and involves a lot of … labor, time, energy, attention, massive spreadsheets,” he says. But it’s worth it. “My legacy should not be the name that isn’t mine; the legacy should be mine.”

Goetz is part of an informal group of transgender scientists who have been pushing for changes to the scientific publishing industry to make it more inclusive—not only for trans scientists, but also for others who change their names midcareer, for instance because of a change in marital status or religion. Over the past 6 months, they’ve seen marked progress: Many scientific publishers—including the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Royal Society of Chemistry, PLOS, Wiley, and AAAS—established policies that make it easier for authors to change their first or last name on published papers. (AAAS is the publisher of Science Careers.) Springer Nature, which publishes more than 2500 journals, expects to announce a new name change policy “in the near future,” according to a statement emailed to Science Careers.

The new policies allow authors to change their names without public notification of any kind. That marks a break from previous practices, which generally either didn’t allow for a name change or required a correction notice and co-author approval if a change was made. “Previously, there had been a prevailing attitude ‘what’s published is published,’” says Lisa Pecher, an associate editor at Angewandte Chemie who worked on Wiley’s name change policy. But it’s important to accommodate authors who change their names, adds Pecher, who is transgender. The policy shift “puts the power over who to share this sensitive information with back into the hands of the author, where it belongs.”

Many journals view their policies as a work in progress and are continuing to engage in discussions about how to implement the changes. For instance, it’s not clear how publishers will work together to update the reference lists of previously published papers. “It can’t be something that one publisher tackles all by themselves,” says Jessica Rucker, the director of global editorial operations at ACS, which is actively working on how to deal with citations.

Still, it’s clear that “the consensus is shifting—the publishing world has taken notice of the fact that this is an area that they have fallen down on,” says Theresa Tanenbaum, an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine, who is transgender and worked with the Association for Computing Machinery to update their name change policy in 2019. Tanenbaum says discreet name changes are particularly important for trans scientists, who may be subject to discrimination, violence, and persecution. It’s not a frivolous issue, she says; it’s a matter of “maintaining the livelihood and safety and privacy of a vulnerable population.”

The changes will also likely benefit other groups, such as people who grapple with name changes because of marriage and divorce. “I didn’t change my name when I got married, not because I thought I was ever going to divorce my husband,” says Susan Morrissey, ACS’s director of communications. “I had already published, so I wanted to keep that record.” With the new name change policies, Morrissey wonders whether others in similar situations might feel freer to make a decision that’s right for themselves and their family—rather than one that revolves around their publication record. “My kids’ lives would be a lot easier if I had [changed my last name],” she says.

Even with inclusive name change policies, the process of requesting changes on all prior publications is still daunting for scientists who are far along in their careers. Tanenbaum, for instance, published 83 papers that have collectively been cited thousands of times before she transitioned and changed her name in 2019—and it’s been a massive undertaking to correct the record. Some scientists would like to see publishers move toward an even larger-scale change: using a number, such as an ORCID identifier, as the primary digital identifier for an author rather than a name. That way, authors could change their name in one central place—ORCID’s website, for instance—and their name would repopulate everywhere it appears in author lists.

The publishing industry really needs to ask, “What would an entire overhaul look like?” says Irving Rettig, a Ph.D. student at Portland State University who—through a tweet—jump-started discussions at ACS to revise their name change policy. He’s happy with ACS’s new policy and was the first scientist to use it himself, but Rettig still considers it a “Band-Aid” approach. “The problem is that your academic record is tied to a name, and the assumption that a name is an unchanging object is incorrect.”

“If it were common in our society for men to change their names at marriage, this would have been solved decades ago,” says Tanenbaum, who is part of a working group on the topic formed by the Committee on Publication Ethics. “I think it’s reflective of a publishing system that has been historically mired in patriarchal values that center men’s experiences and not women’s. … It’s long past time that we do something about it.”

Long article, I just quoted the two first paragraphs. (Apparently I am a fag.) Unsurprisingly, very little in terms of critical journalism. Two troons are allowed a soapbox.

I would guess that there is a higher percentage of trans people in academics than in general society (mild autism?) but this issue really shouldn't be considered high priority in academic publishing. The number of people it affects is minute compared to the work/money it involves (largely by private companies or organizations).

The paper links to an informal group of transgender scientists (archive) that are at the midst of this. In their statement, many old classic arguments are used. The main author (Theresa Jean Tanenbaum; pictured below) is listing objections to their demands and proceeds to respond in order. Some relate to general issues in scientific publishing, others are just whining about imagined rights. All the buzzwords are included.

In the rest of the text, the authors give examples of how the "labor, time, energy, attention, massive spreadsheets" were met by publishers:
The newly published website announcing the correction is also hugely problematic because it doesn’t contain a complete copy of my article. Instead, it simply provides a single page paper stub that links back to the incorrect original. Frustratingly, it directly juxtaposes my deadname with my correct name. You might as well have just put up a big red tag: WARNING THIS AUTHOR IS TRANSGENDER!

When you click on my correct name in Springer’s system, the only articles I’m credited with are these “corrections”, rather than my actual scholarship. As myself, I don’t get credit for my work.

To add further to my discomfort, the notification of changes is being sent to my deadname email account, and addressed to my deadname.

Taken as a whole this is dehumanising and insulting.
TLDR: trooning at its finest, now at a university near you (well, more of it anyways).

Long article
no it's not you're just retarded lol

full article since OP is a fag and thinks 10 paragraphs is "long"
