I Repeat: Trans Don't Mean Punk

How many times have I warned you cispeople not to frack with transpeople?   It's not a good idea to get someone pissed off at you who not only has a little more strength than the average cis female, but is an estrogen based lifeform to boot.  

You also don't know how much bull feces that transperson may have gone through just trying to get through her day.

Your attempt to make fun of them or disrespect them to prop up your own flagging self esteem may be the last straw that sets the transperson off and the next thing you know they're either reading you like a cheap novel, pulling out a can of whoop ass with your name on it or are doing both at the same time...

If you think Moni's sellin' you woof tickets on that, check out this latest video of some cis person who got more than he bargained for when he disrespected a transwoman minding her own business in the New York City subway system tunnels.

Kansas City Transwoman Killed On Christmas Eve

Well, one of the first names we'll read for the 2012 Transgender Day of Remembrance has been determined and her death happened on all nights, Christmas Eve.

I'll slam the transphobic reporting of KCTV 5 'reporters' DeAnn Smith and Nima Shaffe later.   First the details rewritten to follow the AP Stylebook rules for reporting on transgender people  

31 year old Dee Dee Pearson was allegedly shot and killed by 26 year old Kenyan E. Jones inside an apartment in the 1000 block of East 43rd Street and died after the scene.  

Police were dispatched to the address at 11:24 PM CST and Jones told police that he paid to have sexual relation with Ms. Pearson earlier in the evening and presumed she was a cis female.  

When he learned that she was a transwoman, he became angry and killed Pearson according to the court records with a 9 mm handgun and was identified by witness as the man seen in the immediate area.

Witness.Catherine Tronnes heard the gunshots. "We heard a single gunshot, then a pause," she recalled. "Then we heard probably five or six more. We were sitting in the living room and suddenly heard it go off.".

A memorial has sprung up for Pearson in the doorway to the apartment where authorities say Kenyan Jones shot her. The memorial includes flowers and cards. One framed note says, "You will always be alive to me."

Jones is being charged with second degree murder and armed criminal action.   Jackson County prosecutors are seeking a $250.000 cash only bond

2011 Texans Watch-Not So Merry Christmas In Indy

The Texans walked into Lucas Oil Stadium with a chance to exorcise another demon that has dogged my fave NFL franchise since their founding and help themselves in the race for one of the AFC playoff byes as well.  All they had to do was beat Indianapolis for the first time in nine tries on the road Thursday night to make that happen.

But unfortunately the Texans got into the holiday spirit and gave away this critical game to the Colts 19-16. 

Instead of making history in terms of sweeping the Colts for the first time in franchise history and keeping their opportunity for going unbeaten in the AFC South for the first time alive, they made NFL history in a negative way by becoming the first 10 win division championship team to lose to a one win team 

But the Texans put the coal in their own playoff Christmas stockings with a too conservative offense, fumbles, going 1 for 9 in third down conversions that stopped drives, not scoring touchdowns in the red zone when they did get there, and committed critical penalties at inopportune times, including the Colts game winning drive. 

They also wasted a 158 yard rushing night by Arian Foster on top of it.  The refs screwed up on a few calls as well, but the game never should have been close enough for the refs to take it away from them in the first place. 

The loss knocked them out of any chance to have a AFC playoff bye much less home field for the entire playoffs unless New England and Baltimore get eliminated.  They will still host at least one playoff game at Reliant Stadium, but they just made their already long odds for getting back to Indy for the Super Bowl in February that much harder.


The Texans finish Sunday with a game at Reliant Stadium against the Tennessee Titans Traitors, who will be coming to town with revenge on their minds after getting their butts kicked 41-7 by the Texans earlier in the season and are fighting for their playoff lives. 

You know what to do Texans. Handle your NFL  business.  I'm tired of hearing the flapping gums of the Harris County Arlington Cowchip fans and so are the rest of the Texan faithful.
