Those working on the fund are doing good work. I hope this event does not deter them in any way. I would say the same thing for those asking for help. I hope that this does not intimidate anyone to the point where they are afraid to ask for help when they need it.

I noticed there were even reddit commenters who basically pointed out that he was full of shit. I was hopefully skeptical when I saw the post go up earlier. Glad that someone put this to bed.

I see the governor has ordered the national guard mobilized. I would embed the tweet with the document but.......oh well, its the new/old Kinja.

Considering that the ranks of the U.S. military are essentially filled by an economic draft, this is not surprising.

Great. Now they just have to take care of the abusive comments......but I think that is a bridge too far.

I would be willing to bet that married women are much less likely to report an assault visited upon them by their husbands than a non-married woman.

#yesallboobies!

Wow....so nice to see a positive story for once! Thank you for sharing!

I think you are on to something there. For some people, circus freaks are only objects to be laughed at.

Thank you so much for sharing this update! Lets hope that they can capture all of those involved and that Tyra and Janell are able to experience some type of justice.

Comments or not, your writing does a lot to raise awareness and understanding :-)

Well Kat, it seems you hit the big time with this piece. I have no idea how you are keeping up.

How was the guy duped? He did not use protection, and he walked away. If he wanted to ensure he did not have a child he could have worn a condom, and if he really wanted to be a father why would he engage in one night stands, and then walk away and never look back? The guy was obviously indifferent to the outcome.

I think that because they were assaulted specifically because they were trans women, that the full descriptor belongs in the title.

Well, since there seems to be lots of evidence of the assault, I hope that the assailants are arrested. If that does not happen, I hope that Tyra and Janell file a lawsuit against the authorities for not prosecuting, and against the perpetrators themselves.

Kat, please dismiss this asshole. *points up*

Do you have a source for this? Because the APA says otherwise.

Well it is like this: These women are warning their fellow classmates about these people. They are giving all the info that is needed. These men are rapists that have succeeded in getting away with their crimes. They are to be avoided.

I hope they all start showing their true feelings like this more often. It is probably the surest way for people like this to get voted out of office. The majority of people that support this stuff are older and they are slowly dieing off. Younger people are less likely to vote, but will vote more often as they get…

Oh, but they are changing their ways! Did you not read about Paul Ryan hangin' out with the inner city folks? They are now sensitive and are trying to understand all of our problems, and want to come up with compassionate solutions! This person must be an anomaly!
