New Korean cop thriller "A man on high heels" trailer

"Ji-wook is a cold-blooded detective who would brutally assault and stop at nothing to catch criminals. However, despite his perfectly masculine appearance, Ji-wook struggles with a secret desire to be a woman. At last, Ji-wook decides to get a sex-change. However, a gang Ji-wook had brutally arrested by force plots revenge against him. While Ji-wook resigns and secretly dreams of transforming into a real woman, people close to him get caught up in a conspiracy... and killed. When the one person he must protect, 'Jang-mi', also falls in danger, Ji-wook faces a crossroads in making his choice."

This review at Twitch films makes a lot assumptions based solely on the preview and the poster. The author feels its a great concept. Kind of violently revengeful for me but in the spirit of fair mindedness and non judgemental-ism, who knows? It could be good.



Am i dating myself when I say I treasured my platforms in the 70's. I adored my wife for giving me those shoes (and her hand-me-down-clothes) long before I had ever heard of the word transgender.




Ohio state transgender inmate Whitney Lee wins fight to resume HRT

Ohio Transgender inmate Whitney Lee had been receiving HRT continuously since 1999, but those treatments were discontinued by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in February 2012.

Last month, a federal Judge Algenon Marbley issued a temporary order reinstating her treatments after a prison psychiatrist ruled that she wasn't transgender.



After a two-day hearing, Judge Marbley ordered the state on Friday to permanently continue the treatments.

Lee had been receiving HRT while an inmate in federal prison. She is due to be released in October.

Video Gender variant person beaten in Daytona Beach. *trigger warning

William Jackson
Gender variant person beaten in Daytona Beach. Chief says it maybe a hate crime as the attackers used slurs when beating Jackson.

Source WFTA
"The incident started when Jackson said he broke up a fight between his girlfriends and another group of girls. About 30 minutes later, he said the men jumped him at the Citgo on International Speedway Boulevard.
The beating was caught on video and posted to Facebook. It shows numerous men punching and kicking Jackson near the gas pump in front of the convenience store."

"In the video from early Sunday morning, Jackson can be seen wearing a black and white dress. He said the reason the men attacked him was because likes to dress like a woman."

Daytona Beach Detectives went to the State Attorney's Office with this video and asked for an arrest warrant for Aggravated Assault during a Hate Crime. The attorneys would not give a warrant for the attackers arrest and detectives were told all they had was simple battery at best. Write or call State Attorney R.J. Larizza and ask him and his office to take a 2nd look at this brutal Hate Crime! If nothing is done about the attack of William Jackson - it send the message that Daytona Beach condones attacking gay, bi, transgender and trans-sexual people! That should be great for Tourism!

Debunking MDPetition.com Neil Parrott falsehoods for opposing the Fairness for all Marylanders Act

Maryland Republican Neil Parrott has launched an online petition drive to force a vote on the states new transgender inclusive bill, Fairness for all Marylanders Act of 2014.

During the conference Del. Parrott and House Minority Whip Kathy Szleiga said they oppose SB 212 saying it "opens bathrooms to predators, not necessarily transsexuals, but predators as they will take advantage of this bill and use the opposite gender bathroom and owners of those restrooms, like the one right behind this wall, would have no legal recourse."

In 2011, Parrott and Szleiga voted against HB235, which was much like this law  except it didn't include public accommodations. Their contention that they oppose this bill because it includes 'bathroom' provisions and would have supported legislation without it is a lie. It's especially odious that they say they are doing so because they are concerned with children's safety citing fictitious or irrelevant incidents.

"The most egregious part of this bill will require businesses to open up their public facilities (bathrooms, saunas, shower rooms, locker rooms, etc.) so that men can use the ladies’ room and women can use the men’s room."
This statement from the MDPETITION.com website is not just fear mongering, its also unequivocally false.

From the bill's text: "The bill does not apply to a private facility in a place of public accommodation, if the place of public accommodation makes available, for the use of persons whose gender identity is different from their assigned sex at birth, a space that is functionally equivalent to the space made available to users of the private facility. The bill defines “private facility” as a facility (1) that is designed to accommodate only a particular sex; (2) that is designed to be used simultaneously by more than one user of the same sex; and (3) in which it is customary to disrobe in view of other users of the facility.




There is a well-organized coalition supporting fairness for all Marylanders. One of which is TransMaryland whose leader Jenna Fischetti is working to educate the public. She explains the meaning of “gender identity” in this bill:

“Gender identity,” means the “gender-related identity, appearance, expression, or behavior of a person, regardless of the person’s assigned sex at birth.”

The Act provides that a person’s gender identity may be demonstrated by the “consistent and uniform assertion” of their gender identity or any other evidence that the gender identity is “sincerely held as part of the person’s core identity.”

So, the Act’s definition of “gender identity” said Jenna "only includes an identity that is sincerely held as part of a person’s core identity." 
"This definition was proposed by Republican Senator Joseph Getty, and is consistent with the definition adopted in 17 other states that have enacted gender identity protections, including Delaware, Connecticut, and Massachusetts."

Legislative efforts to include transgender people has taken place nearly every year since 1997. The effort to define the language that allows transgender people the same rights as everyone has been a arduous journey contrary to what Neil Parrott have you believe.



WBAL reports thst in 2011 and 2012, MDPetitions.com gathered enough petition signatures to put the DREAM Act, congressional redistricting and the same sex marriage law before voters in the 2012 General Election.

Voters overwhelmingly approved all three issues in the 2012 election defeating referendum efforts.

However given Parrott's tactics its important that the truth be known. Maryland should remain a fair place for all.

Transgender Sailor Landon Wilson discharged for transition tells his story

Landon Wilson
Shortly after 2 a.m. on Dec. 7, when a superior tapped him on the back and summoned him outside, one of the secrets that mattered most to Wilson began to unravel.

“This Navy record says female, but this paper says male,” the grim-faced sergeant major noted, displaying two sets of personnel records. “So, what are you?”

After an awkward pause, Wilson, who joined the Navy as a woman but who has long felt like a man, provided the answer that set in motion the end of his military career: “I am male.” Read more at The Washington Post
