For those too lazy to go back in his archives, here’s the short of his story -
Basically, he was taking a walk, something that appears to very habitual. On the way to his destination, he had to walk by a girl’s house that, apparently, he was once involved with. She called out to him. Him, being a respectful young MAN, stopped and listened.
This woman asked him to PROVE he was a man. I can only assume that means by showing her his ‘anatomically correct’ genitalia. He obviously refused, and tried to continue on to his destination.
The next moment is chaos.
Her boyfriend grabbed the back of his shirt, to make James face him. He screamed the same question the woman asked earlier. Bigoted slurs are soon flung in his direction (“faggot!”) and, of course - as many people would under such pressure -he started crying. The boyfriend now HITS him.
HITS HIM AND LAUGHS IN HIS FACE. James confessed he didn’t want to call the cops in this situation. I can’t say I blame him, for entirely different reasons.
He will not be recognized as JAMES. He will be recognized as some brutal, conniving lesbian in the police’s eyes. Let me ask you this, America - and tumblr -
Jamey Rodemeyer received national attention after his death. Lady Gaga dedicated a concert to him. If a transkid committed suicide, would it even make HEADLINES? Would they be recognized by their trans* status, or would people chalk it up to - ‘She was a lesbian’?
i just found out about this around 10 o clock
bigoted douchebags
and you know what, he’d be regocnized as a lesbian
because in society’s eyes, being trans is a load of bullshit »
This is terrible. I hate people, I really do.
One of my good friends from high school, who I only get to talk to every now and then because we’ve both been so busy since school, is trans. She’s the sweetest girl I know, hands down. I don’t give a FUCK what she has below the waist, to me she will always be that great friend who trusted me enough to tell me. That friend that cried of happiness all those days we’d go for coffee after school and I’d draw her in beautiful blouses and dresses. I love to surprise her to this day anytime I see her, a sketchbook and pen in hand.
James, it’s times like this I wish I believed in an after life, in souls. Rest in peace, young man.
