We recently had someone murdered in Baltimore. *deep sigh

http://www.gender.org/remember/

You know every year, every time I look at that page I feel a little sick and as I look at the beautiful faces again this morning I just think about the other night laughing over pizza with my little bro and listening to his recent adventures and dreams of the future, about one of the sweetest kindest women I know who's made me laugh and smile just about more than anybody, a man who I know just a bit but you don't have to know him well to know how much he loves his wife, kids and life and how he physically puts himself out there educating people to make a better world for others... and a guy who just lost his mom... etc. etc and then the idea that anybody would want to cause them pain makes me furious...

If any one is sick and a danger to nOrMaL society it is that cop in the video up there and others like him... and when I see that vid w/ that cop I'd rather not say what I'd like to do to him.

Sry for the rant but it all seems so stupid and I am just especially irritated by all this stupid shit people do right now.

Peace
Jett

You know Jett, I just love what you said...cause, i watched that video that weatherboi posted...what seems so long ago now...and i was so...well, words do not suffice...disgusted and appalled...And i was just stunned...and she was murdered later. I don't need to watch it again now. I remember it. And i remember how he used her for leverage to punch her harder. Jesus...
what a coward.

If i had been there, in that room...i would have gone off... i would have tried to alert a person of authority for a live witness...a witness to be put into the position...to have to either...one, deny it to my face the wrong doing...or two, do something about it....if that said person...took too damn long to do the right thing or to show up...like a few seconds while i would be saying..."Yo dude what are YOU DOING TO HER? DUDE! is that your job?" "Do your job?" "Do i need to find someone to do it for you? Or shall I show you what happens to **** **** like you that do their job incorrectly?"
I swear to God I would have gone down with that woman if need be.
I would have given that cop a few chances... while, already having dialed 911...a few ?'s ...after that...if he continued... i would have would have been at his throat! Literally. So, rant...nah, this a rant.

so sad man's inhumanity to man

Wow, I started to cry when I read this article... Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me that they referred to this poor woman as he... Thank you for sharing!

[EnderD_503]

Fortunately no life lost, however, for those in San Fransisco, I just read there's going to be a rally tomorrow for a transwoman who was beaten this week.

it is highly impossible to know how many trans sisters and brothers have fallen due to violence largely cause incidents go unreported and due to misreporting of their transgender identity. many of the articles attached to these names still use the wrong pronouns for the victims.

Just wanted to get this back on the front page.

Really great video message for TDOR from delegates at the Combatting Transphobic Hatred conference in Ankara over the last few days, recognizing the high rate of violence and discrimination trans people in Turkey face on a regular basis:
