Salon Magazine Reports on the Police
This is a web page I've been working on for several years now, but I haven't updated it much as of late.
It's goal is simple. I want to report and chronicle incidents of abuse of transgendered individuals wherever they occur. What I need from people is for them to send me reports of such abuse with as much source material as they can provide. I prefer documented information. That includes news reports, first hand accounts, etc. If you do send me a first hand account, I'm going to want a way to contact you. That's pretty much it. If you've got information to contribute to this page, please e-mail me at:

Brown, Sharon
Sharon Brown was fired from her job at Fayetteville (NC) State University after it was discovered that she was born male.
"Cops"I've never watched the show, but have been told that the television show "Cops" has on several occasions featured harassment of transvestites and transuals. If anyone has more detailed info, please e-mail me.
D, CarlaA telephone worker from Orange county, Carla was found dead in her apartment of multiple stab wounds. No suspect was ever charged.
Draper, HaroldA worker in Patterson, NJ, Harold was
found dead of multiple stab wounds on May 30, 1992.
Goldman, RichardRichard was a fourty year old transgender man who, along with his wife, was shot and killed by his father.
Hart, AlanHart, a female-to-male transual, has been continually misrepresented by Oregon's Right to Privacy. Since 1982, they have been giving out an annual award in his female name. Activists are currently trying to engage in a dialogue about the issue, but progress is slow.
The Human Rights Campaign FundThe HRCF has been consistently unwilling to acknowledge the basic needs for inclusion of transgenderists in their charter.
Intered Infants
It is common practice for doctors to mutliate the genitalia of infants born without explicitly "male" or "female" organs. This, supposedly, is to "correct" them. See the Salon Magazine report The Police and the Inter Society of North America
Johnson, MarshaA long-time activist, Marsha was found dead in the Hudson river after having been harassed by some kids earlier that night. The police chose not to investigate, claiming there was no reason to suspect a crime of any sort.
Hunter, Tyra Tyra Hunter was a transgendered individual who died while members of an EMS crew joked about her anatomy. Chris Hampton wrote an excellent article about the incident.
Pickett, Chanel
Chanel Pickett is one of many transuals who have been murdered by supposed lovers. Here's a portion of a news article:
Palmer was a reputed admirer of pre-op transuals who frequented one of Boston's two TS pick-up bars,
the Playland. On Sunday evening, November 19, Palmer drove Chanel and her twin transual sister
Gabrielle to their Chelsea apartment, staying for about 90 minutes to drink, and snort cocaine he had
purchased near the Playland. Palmer apparently attempted to persuade the twins to participate in a
three-way tryst. Only Chanel packed an overnight bag and went home with him. According to Gabrielle,
Chanel did not regard Palmer as a trick, but as a potential relationship partner.
Palmer's roommates stated he and Pickett spent 5 hours in Palmer's room, during which an argument
broke out. The roommates knocked on the door, but were assured everything was all right. Shortly
thereafter, the conflict escalated and Pickett was strangled to death.
S, Mary
Mary S. was fired without cause after beginning to transition on the job. Eventually, she turned to work to pay food and rent. Shortly afterwards, she was found in the trunk of a car in the river, lacerated by multiple stab wounds.
Santiago, JessyOn February 8th, 1992, Jessy was attacked by a man who wanted to date her while the police were standing at her door. The Police refused to call the murder a bias crime despite the attacker's comment "I'm going to kill that fag."
Tanner, Cameron
A transgendered individual in San Francisco, on March 11, 1992, Tanner was assaulted by two bat-wielding men. Cameron died of resulting wounds on April 21.
Teena, Brandon
Brandon Teena was a female-to-male transual who was outed by local police in Falls City, NE.
According to the news report:
Police publicly released this information to the local newspaper, the Falls City Journal. One week later, on Christmas Day 1993, Brandon was raped and assaulted at a Christmas party by two men, whom he identified to local police as Nissen and Lotter, despite the fact that they had threatened to kill him if he reported the incident to the police.
However, charges of rape and assault were not filed against Nissen and Lotter until after Brandon's slaying, despite the fact that his sister Tammy Brandon had called Richardson County sheriff Charles B. Laux four days before the slaying to ask why Lotter and Nissen had not been arrested when Brandon had identified them as his attackers.
There is also a first hand account of the trial. Recently, a joke on Saturday Night Live about this case sparkd some controversy. You can read a press release about this incident.
The U.S. Passport OfficeApparently, the gender police are alive and well in
the federal government. Dana Marie, a post operative transual, was told that she'd only be able to receive a passport as a male because her doctor said he'd "performed" the operation, not "completed" it.
Walker, Candy
Candy was charged with an illegal discharge of a firearm, tresspassing and battery. The only problem is that she was held in jail, with the illegal discharge the only charge remaining against her when the firearm was discharged by her father, at Candy, because he couldn't deal with her transualism.
