the plan was to alleviate that mistrust and prevent the officers from directly or indirectly causing offense and frustration in the transgender community.
This whole thing sounds like merely a salvo in the World War T offensive. Which, if you read obscure bloggers like Steve Sailer, you would have seen coming a good year or more back.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostThere area few things that you have not factored into your analysis.
1. Violence against trans gender people is very common.
2. Police forces tend to be conservative in their attitudes and would likely be very disrespectful of trans gender prostitutes.
3. Police corruption is a risk factor.
4. Possible witnesses (prostitutes) would be easily intimidated.
The things you listed simply show your bias and motivation to try to force a story to fit your agenda. There is absolutely no evidence that the man who ACCIDENTALLY struck Keels did so intentionally, or even KNEW Keels was transgendered, so your only beef is that the police did not charge the driver for negligent homicide or whatever the applicable codified ordinance would be.
Where you hurt yourself is in the dishonesty of the presentation of this case and swallowing the hype without fact checking.

She claims that transgendered persons are murdered "constantly", at a rate of 31 a year, Every 32 hours, and it's an "epidemic".
Now, think really hard about that....
First, she is calling some of them "murders" where they are actually tragic accidents, some of which are brought on by the person's own conduct - like "standing in the street" on a busy road.
100% of the examples she gives are NOT MURDERS, and those were probably her "best examples".
The other example she gives is a woman badly burned in her car, and the fire department, upon discovering she was transgendered, "left her there to die". That's an incredibly subjective statement -- how does she know that the responders "left her there to die" -- is it possible she didn't have a pulse? And even if they DID "leave her there to die", that would not be murder -- the cause of death was the fire. Who set that? How did that start?
By the way, that person is unnamed, no date, nothing to check it for truth.
She plays VERY LOOSE with the facts, and nothing to back up her claims.
Next she claims a "transwoman of color" is killed "constantly", "every 32 hours", 31 a year. Try doing that basic math. It doesn't compute.
THEN try defending that as an "epidemic".
So, yes, I think she is lying, and given that she is apparently a very intelligent person, I'd have to say she's doing it on purpose to push her agenda.Last edited by Cow Poke; 12-09-2014, 07:16 AM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Steve SailerInteresting analogy … Not one I would have come up with …
Okay, I can buy it … Except, it would be like if at your high school they automatically put hallucinogens in all the water coming out of the drinking fountains, and I was the contraband dealer the teachers and honor students went to when they needed to clear their heads by drinking from my secret stash of pure, distilled H2O.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostThe 1 every 32 hours statistic was a whole world average. Many occur in predominately Catholic Latin America.

Her claim is that the numbers are unusually high because the population itself is small which is why she calls it an epidemic.
Do I STILL think she's lying?
