Paris Wilson charged with the Trans Panic murder of transgender woman Islan Nettles walks free

On the eve of the TDOR Paris Wilson walked out of court a free man. Wilson was charged with misdemeanor assault in connection with brutal beating death of NYC transgender woman Islan Nettles.

After Islan died in the hospital it was fully expected that the charges against Wilson would be elevated and prosecuted as a hate crime.

It was wittnesed  that Wilson made a pass at Ms. Nettles and became enraged, beating her to death in a fit of trans panic.

The time ran out for the prosecutors after the "speedy trial clock" 90 day limit expired on Tuesday.

Another unnamed man confessed to the murder but said he was too drunk to remember doing it. That man was allegedly taken to the police station by the mother of Paris Wilson who pressured him to make a false confession. That individual was not arrested because of inaccuracies in his confession.

"Emotions were flying all over. Happy, sad, more upset than anything," said grief-stricken Delores Nettles Islan's mother. "And then to see him walking out. And my baby can't come home."

Members of the transgendered community were present in court to support the Nettles family.

Judge Tamiko Amaker adjourned the case to Nov. 19.

We can continue reminding Assistant District Attorney Nicholas Viorst with the care2 petition Justice for Islan Nettles that our lives matter.

Twerking ends on Glee with a deal that allows major LGB groups to avoid real trans advocacy #JD4PJI

If only I were a boy
Source: Celebrity Cafe  "Twerking has taken over McKinley High, especially in the Glee Club. Naturally, this doesn't sit well with Sue (the guidance counselor), who takes on the epidemic and tries to get it banned (of course, she is unsuccessful, as Will makes a convincing case to the school board in its favor). Will also rebels against her by singing 'Blurred Lines.'"

"Meanwhile, Unique is having a hard time using the bathroom at school because being Transgender makes it hard to use the bathroom. She isn't welcome in the girl's room, but gets bullied in the boy's room. After singing "If I Were a Boy," Unique makes a plea for a Unisex bathroom - Sue uses this as her way to end twerking by installing a port-a-potty in the choir room. Because this is still insulting, Schu allows Unique to use the faculty bathroom, then makes a final deal with Sue. If Unique can have a key to the faculty bathroom, he will stop the Glee Club's twerking. They close the show with their performance of "On Our Way."

This is a totally unrealistic 'solution'. First off, every trans person knows using a segregated restroom only serves to further ostracize them. Avoiding that as a 'solutions' is critical to our integration. Secondly, its not hard for trans people to use the bathroom unless they have a medical condition. It's societal misconceptions partially spawned by this episodes bathroom 'solution'.

Finally how amicable is a solution in which Unique will be remembered as the one to blame for the banning of twerking or extending that, cisgender sexual interactions. I appreciate GLEE producers integrating trans characters but please do it in a way that not further misconceptions.


Most importanly why are the major LGBT noT supporting Cristan Williams protest at the Pacific Justice Institute?


They told Cristans the protest "off Message". Thats a crock of shit. This episode is off message but promote it they will from there armchair safe offices. If the Trans Law Center and Equality California want to make a real impact they would be helping to get the word out.

Protest Tuesday at the Pacific Justice Institute in Santa Ana




Tear Jerking heart felt rendition of "If I were a boy" by Unique. get the tissues out its that good.




Miss Universe Gabriela Isler on transgender contestants They should get their own pageant because this ones for woman"

Gabriela Isler is delightful, gorgeous and a transgender exclusionary bigoted cisgender woman. Isler made it known she does not think whats good for the goose is also good for the transgender

Is any less real after surgery
who gets to decide?
photo: Quemas.mamas latinas.com 

I disagree. Whats good for the transgender is good for the gander and so does RED LGBT Venezuela.

During the interview it was observed that the crown fell off her at first. Isler explained the person crowning her was petite and at that moment the crown didn't fit her "It's mine and it was made for me and fits me (sic) very well".

I question whether that crown would have been such a perfect fit antes.

 Giselle Castro at Quemas Mama Latinas notes that "I personally believe there's nothing wrong with getting a little plastic surgery here and there if a person decides they need it. In Isler's case, it's hard to deny that she looks like a completely different person in her after picture!"

A completely different person.

Gabriela said she claimed this victory for 'all people of Venezuela' further excluding transgender Venezuelans who she doesn't believe are real people.

Tullytown PA police did this to a 14 year old?


Accounts differ about what transpired but somehow this fourteen year old's nose was broken and got both eyes damaged. The burn marks on his face are from being tasered which according to the only news report I could find happened while running from police handcuffed behind his back. Supposedly the police became 'worried' for his safety as he approached RT13 and tasered him. Did they then beat him? His mother said they wouldn't let her see him for three days after this happened.

His mother posted this on facebook:

Victory for Texas Trans tux wearing teen. His picture will appear in his yearbook after all

as reported earlier on planetransgender Jeydon had been
told is picture did no meet 'community standards'.
This is a victory for all Texans.

Source: The SPLC (and an outraged LGBT community) took action to protect a transgender teen’s rights, the La Feria Independent School District in Texas has agreed to allow his tuxedo photo to appear in the yearbook along with the other students in his class.

The decision came two days after the SPLC demanded the school district allow Jeydon Loredo, a transgender student and senior at La Feria High School, to appear in his high school yearbook wearing a tuxedo or risk a federal lawsuit against the school district. Before today's decision, Jeydon had been told the photo would not appear in the yearbook due to “community standards.”

“We are very pleased that the school district has recognized Jeydon for who he is – and treated him with the respect he deserves,” said Alesdair Ittelson, an SPLC staff attorney. “This is a signal to other school districts that transgender students should be included as important members of their communities rather than ostracized and subjected to discrimination. We applaud Jeydon’s courage in standing up for his rights.”

Attorneys for the school district agreed to provide written confirmation that Jeydon’s tuxedo photo will appear in the yearbook along with the other students in his class. The district also agreed to follow its own corrective policies for cases of gender discrimination and provide training for those involved, along with a comprehensive education program for the school community. The district will also expressly include gender expression in its ant-discrimination policies.


Judgment day for PJI: Protest Tuesday against group targeting trans kids

Are you sick of the lies being told by the "Pacific Justice Institute"  about  the Colorado transgender high school student "Jane Doe"?


Well, you're lucky you're just sick.

The hateful unsubstantiated disproven rhetoric by the Santa Anna California lawyers targeting this trans kid in Colorado have destroyed her life and pushed Jane to the brink of self harm.

These untruths and lies have made all the news networks both right wing and main stream, front pages hoping to capitalize on the controversy vulnerability of this one child.

Why would a law abiding innocent high school student be ruthlessly attacked time and again by the PJI? Its he only way the smug heartless lawyers at PJI had to conjure fear and contempt in the hearts of California voters as they collected signatures to force a referendum of AB 1266, the newly enacted law giving all school children, including trans kids, an equal opportunity to succeed.

So why did they pick on this kid so far away?

There has never been a instance of a transgender student acting inappropriately in all of school districts in California that have previously instituted like policy.

One California hate group tried to start a rumor there was a instance of bullying by a transgender student in a LA school but that was exposed as a lie by school officials.. Just like the Colorado school district officials did.

Are you you in the greater Los Angles area and want to make a stand for equality? Join Cristan Willams of the TransAdvocate on Tuesday. And if the Lawyers from the PJI come out of their offices and face judgement? Outspoken articulate crusader Cristan Williams can handle it.

Update: Major LGBT groups are not supporting this protest. They say its "Off Message"

  • The Pacific Justice Institute is the shady organization that bullied a trans kid to the brink of suicide and is one of the major players in the effort to repeal protections for California's trans children.

    The time has come to bring the fight to their doorstep.

    Michael Peffer serves as Senior Counsel for Pacific Justice Institute and is officed at the "Christian Legal Aid Society."

    The protest will take place at:

    Christian Legal Aid Society
    2200 North Grand Ave.
    Santa Ana, CA 92711

    The staging area is at the Starbucks at 2525 North Grand Ave. at 9:30 AM. We will then make our way to Michael Peffer to wish him a good morning and ask him why he supports bullying and abusing children.
