“Hate crimes against trans people are common. In some instances, inaction by police or other government officials leads to the untimely deaths of transgender victims”
JADED: Journalism with a Touch of Shade-Lashaun Turner
I was scrolling my FACEBOOK news feed and saw one of my connects post a very disturbing picture of a man who appears to be dressed in a halter top with numerous signs in his car saying he is looking for oral sex. The alarming part is that he is alleged to be sitting in his car- in a public park. The post indicated that police have been called on this person numerous times with nothing being done. For this opinion piece, I am going to infer that he is either transgender or transsexual which adds an extra dynamic. However, to my way of thinking, anyone no matter their gender (identity) or sexual identity-preferences etc,- anyone displaying themselves this way is incredibly sick and should not be allowed to openly do this.
In my usual Op-Ed style – I am throwing in some knowledge along with a Touch of Shade:
A lesson in Transology
Transgender is a term used to describe people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Gender identity is a person’s internal, personal sense of being a man or a woman (or boy or girl.) For some people, their gender identity does not fit neatly into those two choices. For transgender people, the sex they were assigned at birth and their own internal gender identity do not match.
Tranny -is a derogatory term for a transgender, transsexual, transvestite, or cross-dressing person, and often considered to be a slur. During the early 2010s, there was confusion and debate over whether the term was a pejorative, or was still considered acceptable, or a reappropriated term of unity and pride. In 2017, the word was banned by several major media stylebooks and considered hate speech by Facebook.
Trans bashing- is the act of victimizing a person emotionally, physically, sexually, or verbally because they are transgender. The term has also been applied to hate speech directed at transgender people and at depictions of transgender people in the media that reinforce negative stereotypes about them. Trans and non-binary gender adolescents can experience bashing in the form of bullying and harassment. When compared to their cisgender peers, trans and non-binary gender youth are at increased risk for victimization, which has been shown to increase their risk of substance abuse.
Discrimination, including physical or sexual violence against trans people due to transphobia or homophobia, is a common occurrence for trans people. Hate crimes against trans people are common even recently, and “in some instances, inaction by police or other government officials leads to the untimely deaths of transgender victims.” (wiki)
Freedom of speech and expression on display at a park near you!
Surprisingly as I did my google lookup for this opinion- the odd thing right off the bat, I found mentions of Transgenders being killed in parks.
- Transgender woman stabbed multiple times in Los Angeles park
- A 33-year-old Georgia woman has become at least the 31st transgender or gender-nonconforming person to die by violence in the U.S. this year, according to LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. Felycya Harris was shot and killed Saturday in Meadowbrook Park in Augusta, Georgia
Granted some of this new humanology-terminology is a miss with me- but what I do understand is that there is a man dressed in a halter/ swimsuit top, parked in a car with signs that say- well you see them. He might get hurt because of what he is expressing and where- as much as, or, even moreso than who he thinks he is in his head or in his genitals. Would not be a hate crime- unless you hate perverts.
Trannies in the park, -doing it after dark, – I Like Dick Too
JADED: I’m not saying you got to go home in the closet but you got to get the hell up outta here!
For the most part many of us DON’T GIVE A WHOLE F*CK about what kind of unicorn he thinks he is. However, he needs to keep his horny self out the public parks with that mess!
Because our society has split people into categories and allowed the labeling and identifying of humans as “whatever” they “identify” as, you literally could think you are a unicorn- and society will say we have to treat you and call you a unicorn and give you your own bathroom. The ACLU will fight for your civil right to have a unicorn bathroom. And probably for your “right” to sit your ass in a public park and tell everyone about how you like other unicorns.
To be honest I believe everyone has a bit of sexual deviation that behind closed doors with a consenting adult is perfectly fine. Hey I Like Dick too (maybe not as much as him i dunno)- but it would be inappropriate for me or anyone else to be in a public park with that signage!. If there is no law against this- there should be. The photo was allegedly taken at Hook Park In Victorville California.
Do you, but this is indecent, and I’d be willing to bet he is playing with himself while kids are in the park.
Transphobic Definition of transphobia
: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against transgender people- I will be labeled something for writing this lol. But I will refer you back to the IDGAF part- Man, woman, or unicorn- he needs to go! Isn’t being indecent in public a crime or something? Oh wait- I saw a man walking down a street past a restaurant with outside dining- the man was naked from the waist down and the police didn’t do anything because he was homeless and we don’t want to criminalize homelessness- so the folks eating out on that patio had to watch DICK go by.. lol – If the United States haven’t lost it’s ever loving Unicorn minds!!!!!
Nobody cares, until this ish comes to a park near you! The LGBTQ community has a responsibility to society also- maybe some of his sister-men should put him in check, before someone else does.
