Trans Girl Targeted by Right-Wingers
« on: October 21, 2013, 06:46:23 pm »
Link!

A Jane Doe, a trans girl attending Florence High School in Colorado, has been targeted by the right wing Pacific Justice Institute for "harassing" girls in the bathroom... simply by being there.

The PJI released a bogus "report" of how this student was supposedly harassing girls in the restroom, resulting in some protesters and a news crew showing up outside the school.

To make matters even more ridiculous, no accusations of harassment have actually been filed by any students at FHS against Doe. The accusation was filed by a parent, not in response to any actual incident of harassment, but out of fear that this sort of thing would occur if Doe was allowed to use the women's restroom. PJI then clarified their position by saying that simply Doe's presence in the bathroom constituted harassment.

PJI should be sued for harassment by accusing someone of harassing people by merely existing.

Seriously, you need your head ridiculously far up your ass to think that someone merely EXISTING constitutes as harassment.

...Though this is consistent with everything the Republicans have done to deny people equal rights.

You forgot the part about our favorite Radscum, Cathy Brennan, being involved. Because she has to stoop so low as to bully a teenager.

Unisex bathrooms in public schools. Problem solved.

Got a long ways to go til then.  Primarily in the whole "they're naked, it must be for sexual reasons" arena.  Then, you realize that the people who say kids shouldn't be exposed to nudity because of sexualization, are the same brand of feebs that wouldn't want men and women to so much as share a box of tissue, much less a toilet.

They're so worried about protecting the poor, innocent baybeez that they can't see just how hilariously idiotic they're really being.

I didn't think I could possibly loathe Cathy Brennan any more than I did up until now, but it's just an exponential rise.

Which is pretty stupid considering parents take their opposite sex children in public restrooms all the time.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I was going to say, "How about we have bathrooms like on Ally McBeal?" but you beat me to it.

If there was no reports of any students being harassed by Doe and this organization has put out a "report" about her, can she sue PJI for libel? I am just wondering what legal recourse that she could have.

She could sue for libel since this was in a press release, and the school admins can sue them, as well. They'd have a damn fine, strong case. I hope they do sue. I want to throw the largest money donation I can at that effort if they do, but I doubt it will be needed, 'cause I can just hear the outraged shouts of a gazillion activist attorneys reverberating through the ether as they read about this. Pro Bono Posse, go get 'em!

Addendum - yup, and of course she's so totally a cutie and harmless looking. I bet she's popular with the cisgirls. Arrrgh! I'm so mad at these evil fuckers right now....

From mellonORL's link:

Having lost the Prop 8 battle, equality foes have found a new, easier target: transgender children.

This, so hard. Trans* people are much easier to target than lesbian, gay, or bisexual people since even the LGBT* movement doesn't give much of a fuck about the T*. What are the odds that a publicly acceptable and recognizable "gay rights icon" like Dan Savage (*gag*) will defend Jane?

Oh fuck Savage and Brennan, both. They are traitors and self serving egotists.

The cool thing though, is that the whole school, students, parents, teachers...the town at large, are getting it together to defend this sweet shy girl.

Savage and Brennan have become what they've fought.  Bigots who downplay the struggles and suffering of minorities because they believe that what they have is more important.

They are to be hated, and they are to be pitied.  It takes a lot of work to remove your head from your anal cavity when it's that far lodged in, and most die of old age before that happens.

They are people who fight for their own rights. And maybe rights for people who fit in the same mold as them. Just like rich Wall street bankers who lobby for tax cuts for big Wall street bankers or [insert ethnic group]-supremacists who claim theyr kind are the "master race" these people look out for themselves only. That's why they are willing to ignore other opressed groups, Dan Savage doesn't care for any opression or inequality unless it concerns HIS rights. I concider him and Rush Limbaugh and for example to be separated only by their sexuality, otherwise they are the same.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!
