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.'

As I recall many women on the team ended up having children with birth defects, but it was not established medically or criminally that the doping was to blame. There were definitely theories that doping was to blame and it got publicity around the trial for the team doctor in charge of the doping program. I don't know that it's even been seriously examined.

This is covered, if briefly, in Steven Ungerleider’s Faust’s Gold, a comprehensive look at the East German doping programs. Sadly, google books doesn’t have the full searchable text available but according to Stasi records, any female athletes who got pregnant were forced to abort because the docs strongly suspected the risk of severe birth defects in the fetus was ridiculously high. However, even after retiring the damage to the athletes was done.

When Lothar Kipke, the doc who ran the EG doping program, was on trial in 2000 the prosecutor had about a dozen former athletes ready to testify as to having kids born with birth defects including blindness and organ damage.

We know enough about testosterone use in women to understand how damaging it can be. Every major medical society with a stake in women’s health including the Endocrine Society have repeatedly said T is a no for women. The knowledge is there, it’s simply being ignored.

 

[pwnest injun]

These women are more "dysphoric" over people correctly observing their sex or stating that pregnancy is a female-exclusive process, than they are over actually going through pregnancy. Same with periods- TIFs will whine endlessly that the Venus symbol on the tampon box or the wrapper being pink will trigger their dysphoria, but the menstruation itself apparently doesn't.

Because it's a fantasy, and fantasy is all about aesthetics and appearance, not function. A unicorn is just a horse with a horn.

 

[Comrade Autogynephilia]

tbh this just reveals how weak and incompetent those female guards were.
because at the end of the day, troon or not, those inmates were still prisoners - unarmed, isolated, and locked behind bars, while the guards are armed to the teeth and well-organized. a guard has to be an absolute brainless moron to ever allow himself (herself in this case) to get into a position where inmates can pose a serious threat to him (her).

tbh I would guess most of these 'rapes' are really just the guard choosing to have sex with the inmate, and then crying rape once they were found out to avoid responsibility.
There's lots of cases of female guards falling for/having sex with male prisoners, and it's amazing how it's always reported or framed as the prisoner having 'manipulated' or coerced/blackmailed the female guard, because woman are never accountable for their own actions.
It's also big factor in the supply of contraband in prisons, with female guards smuggling for these prisoners they are in 'relationships' with.

 

[queue-anon]

I'm sure the women who marry TIFs are just as crazy as their not-husbands, but man what a raw deal. Not only do they get an unattractive, mentally ill wife LARPing as a man, but they have to bear the loony broad's IVF children or have her get pregnant instead of having their own kids. I can almost understand why some women stay with their TIM husbands after they troon out, especially if they have kids, but what's the rationale for marrying/staying with a TIF as a 'straight' woman? Bring on the autistic ratings, but I literally cannot see an upside here.

In the midst of my disgust with what troonery has become, I still can get a good laugh out of the trainwrecks of these people's lives. I can count tranny-cissy couples who aren't obviously hardcore settling on one hand. And I don't know if I've ever seen a tranny-tranny couple that weren't a horror show.

That's apparently "living their best life", looking like a hideous facsimile of the opposite sex while dragging your poor actually straight or actually lesbian wife along with you, or partnering up with another hideous facsimile, or partnering up with a cissy who can't do better. It's all so pathetic, and the really risible thing is that these people think it makes them special.

oh, you mean like rapist/murderer Dillon Gage Compton, who was in prison for raping a child, then raped and murdered prison guard Mari Johnson, and then claimed the sex was consensual, and the murder was, well, just one of those things? instead of 'guessing' and putting 'rapes' in scare quotes, why don't you look up and cite real cases?

 

[mister butafuco]

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.

I've seen some images I cannot unsee of a MTF who'd filled his bowel using a hosepipe and water in order to get a nice pregnancy belly. But at least this degenerate behaviour was performed in the privacy of the home.

Far more worrying is when medics get involved as enablers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779241/

Under the section 'History of Present Illness' we see a MTF wanting to breastfeed their partner's baby is now an 'illness' rather than simple biology. Did noone ask why this was so important for a non-op MTF to nurse an infant? An endocrinologist managed to induced lactation with a cocktail of meds. Zil Goldtein, co-author and nurse practitioner, is also a stunning and brave MTF trans activist! What baffles me about this is the safety aspect. Is the breast milk the same as that from a woman? Spironolactone used as an androgen blocker and is not advised for lactating women.

In the discussion, one of the benefits of breastfeeding is that it reduces the risk of ovarian cancer...

No, the milk is not the same and it never will be. Plus, there's hair around the nipples. We need to ban troons and gay men from medicine.

 

[Next Task]

I think putting MtF prisoners in with women is a godawful idea, especially when they're a) convicted on sex offences and b) are pre-SRS. But I'm also not sure the politician in question is getting his facts right about troons raping female prison guards, or if he's just muddling up the already-known cases of them raping other inmates. It's the UK - either answer wouldn't surprise me.

Also, I don't know about the reclassifying of them as rapes by the guards. I couldn't find an article I remember reading about a specific prison where something like over a dozen female guards were in relationships with male prisoners and were essentially letting them run the prison. But reports that are about women having sex with prisoners (that last one is a paper about it) aren't uncommon. And it's about half/half in the ones I saw between them taking the position of women abusing the power of their role (like the plentiful school teachers that rape their students), vs. where the women are described as the victims of the male prisoners.

And again, it wouldn't surprise me if that was true for the women themselves, with some using their authority to abuse, and some falling sway to hybristophilia. Being a prison guard seems like it might be attractive for women who lean towards either of those options. There certainly seems to be enough examples of both.

this is such a fucking joke. a "victim" of prisoners? as a fucking prison guard? absolutely ridiculous.
this shit is like a zookeeper deciding to take a quick swim in the pool with the alligators, then when he gets his arm ripped off he starts whining about how those nasty and mean alligators have victimized him and how he deserves pity and compassion for his suffering.

like, fucking no. all these women deserve is getting fired from their guard jobs since they are obviously grossly incompetent at doing them.

Transgender fertility study sheds light on testosterone's impact
Trans men who stopped taking testosterone for an average of four months were found to have similar egg yields to cisgender women.

April 14, 2020, 4:06 PM CEST
By Julie Compton
When Emmett Hardiman transitioned at age 18, he didn’t think he would ever have his own child. At the time, doctors told the transgender man that long-term testosterone use would probably ruin his reproductive organs, along with any chance of having kids.
“It was very much the belief that you could only be on testosterone for so long before you had to get everything removed or you would be very high risk [for cancer] or you were definitely going to be infertile,” Hardiman, 29, told NBC News.

Now, research is giving fertility experts insight into the true impact of testosterone use on fertility.
"I think there is a giant myth that testosterone turns your ovaries into papier-mâché ... and I think these studies that are coming out are saying that’s not true, actually. Actually, they are more like hibernating."
Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy
A recent study from Boston IVF, a fertility clinic and research organization, based on eight years of patient data, revealed that transgender men who stopped taking testosterone for an average of four months had similar egg yields to cisgender (nontransgender) women when undergoing ovarian stimulation.
“The numbers were very small (about 25 patients in total), but it was very reassuring that even though these transgender men had taken testosterone, when they stopped it and were treated, they responded well and we had good outcomes,” said Dr. Samuel Pang, a reproductive endocrinologist and medical director at Boston IVF.
It’s unclear how many trans men give birth or have their eggs frozen in the U.S. In Australia, where government agencies have tracked both sex and gender in official records since 2013, 54 transgender men gave birth in 2014, according to data from the country’s universal health care system. A Dutch study published in the journal Human Reproduction in 2012 found that a majority of trans men reported wanting families.

Transgender men, eager to have biological kids, are freezing their eggs
If possible, trans men who know they want to have children should get their eggs frozen prior to transitioning, according to Pang. For one, it’s unclear what effect long-term testosterone use might have on eggs and embryos, even if the person goes off hormone treatment prior to fertilization. However, he added, there have been no reports thus far of harmful side effects to children born to those who have taken testosterone.
He added that gender dysphoria is another reason to freeze eggs prior to transition.
“I have seen a lot of transgender men who come in, they’ve already transitioned, they’ve already started testosterone,” Pang said, but “the thought of stopping testosterone or going through hormone treatments is very daunting for them, so they frequently will not pursue it because of that.”
‘I had to make a choice’
Hardiman, an attorney who lives in Cranston, Rhode Island, said he believed that transitioning would prevent him from ever having his own kids. At the same time, the gender dysphoria he suffered since childhood — the distress many trans people feel over the mismatch between their gender and sex assigned at birth — was severe. Throughout high school, he wore baggy clothes to conceal his developing body, and started to self harm. Though he feared the impact it might have on his fertility, he said he began making plans to transition as soon as he turned 18. “I had to make a choice,” Hardiman said.

But his fear turned out to be unwarranted. At age 21, he lost his health insurance when his father died, and was forced to discontinue his hormone treatment. Hardiman’s period soon returned. 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.
“I mean there is definitely a hard, difficult choice either way,” he said of his decision to undergo fertility treatment. “Just having to go off testosterone in order to do IVF was not a great option, but it was to me better than the alternative.”
According to Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, it’s not uncommon for young trans men to be unsure about their fertility options, since there has been little data on it until now.
“I think there is a giant myth that testosterone turns your ovaries into papier-mâché,” she said, “and I think these studies that are coming out are saying that’s not true, actually. Actually, they are more like hibernating.”
“Now, when people are making these decisions to either carry their own children or harvest, they will come off of testosterone and their body kicks in,” Olson-Kennedy continued. “They start ovulating, having menstrual cycles, and then they go through harvesting procedures or whatever they decide to do.”

Transgender surgeries postponed indefinitely amid pandemic
Still, many trans men may struggle with dysphoria around having their own children, even if it’s what they want.
“It does still seem like there is either a fear that their reproductive systems won’t work because of testosterone, or there’s that feeling that carrying a child would devalue their existence as a man,” said Chris Rehs-Dupin, 36, a parking enforcement officer who lives in Columbus, Ohio.
Rehs-Dupin, who is trans, said he made the decision to have his own child before he transitioned. One reason, he said, was because he wasn’t sure what impact testosterone might have on his ability to have children later. Another reason, he said, was because his wife was struggling with infertility at the time, and they desperately wanted their own biological child.
“I realized I could do this; there was nothing keeping my body from doing it,” said Rehs-Dupin, who gave birth to a daughter, now 5 years old, through IVF in 2014.

Informing trans youth about fertility options
As transgender individuals start to transition at younger ages, many questions remain about how hormone blockers may potentially impact their fertility as adults.
Hormone blockers, which are used to delay puberty in trans youth, do not cause infertility, experts say — their purpose is to buy these teens some time while they decide whether transitioning is right for them. But if a teenager who has been on puberty blockers moves on to cross-sex hormones without first going through an endogenous puberty, the reproductive organs won’t have a chance to fully mature. However, if a trans man who takes this path does decide at some point in adulthood to go off testosterone in order to have children, he should, in theory, be able to go through an endogenous puberty, according to Olson-Kennedy. But since hormone blockers are a relatively new treatment, experts can only speculate.
“We don’t know because no one has ever done it,” she said. “I mean, it stands to reason that somebody would, because your hypothalamus doesn’t change — you’re still secreting the same hormones that you would otherwise, you’re just significantly delayed.”

Supportive adults key to reducing HIV among trans youth, study finds
According to the guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, Fenway Health and the Endocrine Society, among other health organizations, providers should advise trans patients — both adults and youth — about the potential impact to future fertility that transition-related care might have as part of the informed consent process, and brief them about their reproductive options before treatment.
There is little data on how often trans youth and their families seek fertility preservation. While surveys indicate these young individuals receive a wide range of counseling on the matter, one study found that only 13 percent were referred to fertility preservation clinics, and that a disproportionate number of them were transgender girls (assigned male at birth), according to a 2019 report from the journal Pediatrics.
According to the same study, transgender youth showed a mix of interest in possible family building options, including both the ability to eventually have their own children and adopt, while other studies found lower rates of interest in having children among these youth. Half of them, however, questioned whether their feelings might change as they got older.
Fertility experts usually recommend trans youth who want to undergo fertility preservation temporarily stop treatment in order to freeze eggs or sperm. But a recent case report from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center suggests that going off hormone blockers may not always be necessary. According to the report, published last year, a 16-year-old trans boy was able to have his eggs preserved without stopping hormone blockers. Five of his eggs were harvested, and four were successfully preserved, according to the report, published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine.
While it was only one case and the retrieval was small, the findings were significant, considering more people are transitioning earlier in life, according to Dr. Stephanie Rothenberg, the fertility doctor who treated the teen. But she said the procedure still posed challenges for a young person, who was struggling with dysphoria. The teen was unwilling to go off blockers, she said, and required extensive counseling over a period of several months to prepare him for potential side effects.
“It was a big discussion with a lot of counseling and just making sure that everybody was on the same page about the fact that we just didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Rothenberg, who is now at Pacific NW Fertility in Seattle.

Year after trans military ban, legal battle rages on
While the teenager remained on hormone blockers, he did experience one period and developed a small amount of breast tissue during the fertility process, she said. And while it was his choice to undergo treatment with his parents’ support, she said the teen still struggled with dysphoria.
“He has several mental health care providers, so we were able to coordinate support for him; he also had an extraordinarily supportive family,” she said. “But I think that he felt prepared that that was going to happen, and then ultimately, it was very challenging for him.”
In an email to NBC News, Pang said the results of the Pittsburgh case study are “new and encouraging information” for dysphoric teenagers who wish to preserve eggs, but he said the sparse number of eggs retrieved are unlikely to result in a future baby.
“Until there are more cases reported, and until cases which ultimately result in successful pregnancy and live births are reported, I continue to have significant concerns about whether fertility preservation can truly be accomplished while these pre-pubertal teens are treated with puberty suppression drugs,” he wrote. “The bottom line is that fertility preservation isn’t just about being able to freeze a few eggs; fertility preservation is the ability to freeze eggs which can ultimately be used successfully to achieve a successful pregnancy and live birth of a healthy baby.”

FDA eases restrictions on gay blood donors amid 'urgent need'
Transgender girls may be able to have sperm preserved prior to hormone treatment, depending on the progression of endogenous puberty at the time, according to Rothenberg. In an email, however, she said there have been no reports to date of any attempting to preserve sperm while on hormone blockers, and that success would likely be “quite low” unless blockers are discontinued.
While the impacts of hormone treatment on fertility remains uncertain for these teens, specialists who work closely with trans youth stress the importance of the mental health benefits they offer. Not only do these treatments prevent them from having to undergo unnecessary surgical interventions in the future — such as mastectomies and facial feminization surgeries, which cost thousands of dollars — they help reduce youth suicide attempts and depression, and give them the ability to function at school free from discrimination and the constant nagging of their own dysphoria. These benefits, experts argue, should not be outweighed by concerns over fertility. Such concerns, according to Olson, are often “rooted in the idea that procreation is the most important thing about somebody’s life.”
“That’s not true for a lot of trans people,” she said. “I’m not saying it’s not important — I’m not certain that it is more important than people have the opportunity that blockers bring them.”

High out-of-pocket costs for fertility care
For trans dads, there are many routes to fatherhood.Some trans men may become pregnant unintentionally, believing that testosterone treatment will prevent pregnancy (testosterone does not completely block ovulation, especially if it’s not being taken regularly). Others may temporarily halt testosterone to get their eggs frozen in the hope that a female partner or surrogate will someday carry their child through in vitro fertilization. Some may decide to get pregnant intentionally before or after their transition (stopping testosterone temporarily if that’s the case). Others may choose to adopt. And many never desire to have children at all.

Rehs-Dupin, who transitioned shortly after his daughter was born, said he decided to get pregnant only because his wife was unable to do so at the time. He said pregnancy did not make him feel dysphoric, but he feared how other people would judge him.
“I feel like I was put in the position where it was just like this isn’t even going to happen because it’s not what’s supposed to happen,” he said of his struggle over the decision. “Like, this is my wife, she wears dresses, she should carry the babies. I want to be a man, I’m going to be a man, I shouldn’t do it. It took her not being able to carry for me to be able to have one of the most important and valuable experiences of my life, and I just feel like society doesn’t set us up to make that decision.”
Still, the cost of fertility preservation poses major obstacles for gender dysphoric patients regardless of where they are on their path to parenthood or transition.
Only 10 states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) have laws that explicitly require health insurance plans to cover fertility preservation for patients who may lose their reproductive capacity due to treatment for a medical condition. While cancer treatment is the most common, these laws typically also apply to treatment for gender dysphoria, according to David Farmer, a spokesman for the National Center for Transgender Equality. Similar bills have been proposed in several other states, and a federal bill — the Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act — has also been proposed, he said. Introduced in 2018, the federal measure would require private health insurance plans covering obstetrical services to include infertility treatments, and would extend coverage to federal employees, members of the U.S. military and veterans.
“In addition, federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on sex (including on the basis of transgender status), disability, and other arbitrary factors. If a health plan covers fertility preservation when treating some medical conditions but not others, that could potentially constitute discrimination,” Farmer said in an email. “Unfortunately, many health plans still do not cover fertility preservation, including Medicare, military and veterans’ health systems, and federal employee plans.” The Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act, if passed, would change that, he added.

Trans dads tell doctors: 'You can be a man and have a baby'
As a result, few health insurance policies cover fertility treatments for trans men, and they often pay hefty out-of-pocket costs to have their eggs frozen. A single fertility treatment, on average, costs about $15,000, with an added cost of $275 a year for egg storage. What’s more, there is no guarantee that the treatment will result in pregnancy.
“That’s the biggest thing, especially when they are paying out of pocket, and we’re using thousands of dollars worth of medication,” Rothenberg said. “That’s a big risk that they have to take.”
Hardiman said he and his wife paid over $20,000 out of pocket for their fertility care, but he said his kids are worth it.
“It’s unreal,” Hardiman said of his son and his daughter. “Sometimes I look at them and can’t even believe it. They are just miracles and both awesome.”

Lol they don't pass at all. Dumb bitches better step up their game, no one likes wimpy manlets.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

The pregnant FTM story breathlessly reports that back in the day, they thought there was only so long you had to take out the reproductive organs before they became cancer bombs and permanently infertile.

Then we see that the baby-having FTM in question got pregnant at 21, after having stopped taking hormones she'd only been taking for two years. This is presented as some amazing feat. Usually the guideline is "have a hysterectomy after 5 years of hormones or you're at risk." So either by now this woman's had her uterus removed on schedule like she was supposed to, or she's probably going to die of cancer when her kids are still young. What a beacon of bravery and total defiance of the medical odds!

this is such a fucking joke. a "victim" of prisoners? as a fucking prison guard? absolutely ridiculous.
this shit is like a zookeeper deciding to take a quick swim in the pool with the alligators, then when he gets his arm ripped off he starts whining about how those nasty and mean alligators have victimized him and how he deserves pity and compassion for his suffering.

like, fucking no. all these women deserve is getting fired from their guard jobs since they are obviously grossly incompetent at doing them.

These women signed up to work at a women's prison, being in charge of female prisoners. The jails put men in, and females can no more compensate for the difference as guards than they could as boxers. This was in england so it isn't like they have firearms.

Being a prison guard seems like it might be attractive for women who lean towards either of those options. There certainly seems to be enough examples of both.

every person I have ever known that worked at a prison did so because it was the only good job available to them in the town they grew up in. Prisons tend to be built in rural areas that are desperate for jobs, and once a prison is built there people tend not to move in, unless it is to take over the job someone else left. There is usually a small grocery store and maybe one or two other businesses in the whole place, people drive to the next town over to get anything else done. Working as a correctional officer has better pay and benefits than being a grocery clerk, so people do it, even though it still doesn't pay well and is dangerous. Shitty people end up in that line of work because any asshole can do it, and you can make a lot of money if you're crooked. Most hybristophiliacs join prison pen pal programs or find shitty dangerous men to bang that aren't currently incarcerated, moving to some shit hole town for a poor paying job seems like more devotion to a fetish than is necessary to get the pay off.

Sorry for the powerlevel here, but i worked for several years as a guard in a federal supermaximum security prison, and this is completely wrong. Most of the time it's boring as shit, and frankly a lot of the prisoners are perfectly reasonable people whose lives were destroyed either by drug laws or by the drugs themselves, and if you kept these particular people off drugs, or kept them supplied with enough to keep them happy, they'd be perfectly fine neighbors. But there are others who are sociopaths who literally get off on torturing people. Who torture people for fun. And prisoners are bored out of their skulls and get really creative. Long ago most prisons stopped allowing styrofoam coffee cups. You know why? Because you can make a single-use shiv out of one.

In the modern panopticon prisons there generally aren't a lot of places where prisoners can attack guards, or other prisoners, without being seen, but especially in the old-style prisons there are plenty of stairwells or rooms like kitchens where a prisoner or prisoners can ambush a guard or another prisoner.

Add to this staffing cuts and you end up with situations where one guard is supposed to take care of way too many prisoners, and it can be quite dangerous. If you think you could do a better job, by all means do it.

And don't give me any shit about the prison-industrial complex. I did the job because I needed money, and the prisoners liked me a lot. And no, I didn't take any contraband into prison, but yes, I know that some guards do. Anyway, even though the prisoners liked me, if the opportunity would have come up for them to escape by killing me, most would have said, 'Sorry friend' before they killed me. And one time there was a rumor through the prison that there was going to be a hit on a CO some time in the next week. Out of curiosity I asked some of my favorite prisoners if they would tell me if it was going to be me, and they said, "No, we could never cross that line. The best we could do would be to tell you it wouldn't be a bad idea to call in sick on a certain day."

Two more things. One is that as sperginity said, most women's prisons are lower level. I also worked in a minimum security prison--they're often called "the ranch"--and it's basically a big dorm with a chain link fence around it. They even have baseball games--there's no way they'd hand baseball bats to supermax prisoners. Being a guard at a ranch with check kiters and habitual shoplifters--one dude was in for, I kid you not, sticking some round steaks down the front of his pants and trying to walk out of the store--is a whole different ballgame than being a a guard at a supermax where people are in for torturing, killing, and dismembering perfect strangers. So you throw a violent rapist into a women's prison--a lower level women's prison--and you're asking for trouble all the way around. There's no way troons should be in a women's prison, and it's not right to blame the women when troons rape or kill them, which is really what you are doing.

Finally, if you want to have an informed opinion on the killing of guards, I recommend you do some research on it. You can just search for prison guards killed. There aren't a lot murdered each year, but there are some. Most of those killed are men. It's not all incompetence. Sometimes it may be incompetence, but would you like to raped or murdered because you let your guard down for one second? And sometimes an inmate has an opportunity, and takes it.

“Like, this is my wife, she wears dresses, she should carry the babies. I want to be a man, I’m going to be a man, I shouldn’t do it. It took her not being able to carry for me to be able to have one of the most important and valuable experiences of my life, and I just feel like society doesn’t set us up to make that decision.”

Yeah, it's "society"'s fault that you decided that your feelings and sense of self make you a man and that the personal definition of "manhood" that you yourself created, despite including female individuals, doesn't allow "men" to wear dresses and carry babies. And when you change that personal definition to allow yourself to have kids as you always had the capacity to do, you announce the change to the world, because your individual understanding of manhood must be universal!

What a bunch of hoops to jump through to reassure herself that she can wear the clothes she wants and perform natural bodily functions. I hope her kids aren't messed up by the medications she's ingested and that she gets her uterus removed with only minor complications so they don't have one of their moms die of cancer within a few years.

Sorry for the powerlevel here, but i worked for several years as a guard in a federal supermaximum security prison, and this is completely wrong. Most of the time it's boring as shit, and frankly a lot of the prisoners are perfectly reasonable people whose lives were destroyed either by drug laws or by the drugs themselves, and if you kept these particular people off drugs, or kept them supplied with enough to keep them happy, they'd be perfectly fine neighbors. But there are others who are sociopaths who literally get off on torturing people. Who torture people for fun. And prisoners are bored out of their skulls and get really creative. Long ago most prisons stopped allowing styrofoam coffee cups. You know why? Because you can make a single-use shiv out of one.

In the modern panopticon prisons there generally aren't a lot of places where prisoners can attack guards, or other prisoners, without being seen, but especially in the old-style prisons there are plenty of stairwells or rooms like kitchens where a prisoner or prisoners can ambush a guard or another prisoner.

Add to this staffing cuts and you end up with situations where one guard is supposed to take care of way too many prisoners, and it can be quite dangerous. If you think you could do a better job, by all means do it.

And don't give me any shit about the prison-industrial complex. I did the job because I needed money, and the prisoners liked me a lot. And no, I didn't take any contraband into prison, but yes, I know that some guards do. Anyway, even though the prisoners liked me, if the opportunity would have come up for them to escape by killing me, most would have said, 'Sorry friend' before they killed me. And one time there was a rumor through the prison that there was going to be a hit on a CO some time in the next week. Out of curiosity I asked some of my favorite prisoners if they would tell me if it was going to be me, and they said, "No, we could never cross that line. The best we could do would be to tell you it wouldn't be a bad idea to call in sick on a certain day."

Two more things. One is that as sperginity said, most women's prisons are lower level. I also worked in a minimum security prison--they're often called "the ranch"--and it's basically a big dorm with a chain link fence around it. They even have baseball games--there's no way they'd hand baseball bats to supermax prisoners. Being a guard at a ranch with check kiters and habitual shoplifters--one dude was in for, I kid you not, sticking some round steaks down the front of his pants and trying to walk out of the store--is a whole different ballgame than being a a guard at a supermax where people are in for torturing, killing, and dismembering perfect strangers. So you throw a violent rapist into a women's prison--a lower level women's prison--and you're asking for trouble all the way around. There's no way troons should be in a women's prison, and it's not right to blame the women when troons rape or kill them, which is really what you are doing.

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

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

https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/baltimore-city/police-investigating-deadly-stabbing-in-northeast-baltimore

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.

Friends of a murdered trans woman couldn’t give her a funeral because of lockdown. So instead, they held a Zoom vigil

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.

Trans Woman Johanna Metzger Murdered in Baltimore

This is at least the sixth homicide of a transgender American in 2020.

www.advocate.com

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.

Spoiler: Full Story

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.
