Update: 11 year old trans girl lost appeal

transawareness:

The above article is an update.  Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost.  She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender.  She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.

dancinemaniac: Miss Universe of Canada disqualified for being transgendered… thedailywhat: This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Miss Universe Canada announced yesterday that 23-year-old finalist Jenna Talackova of Vancouver was disqualified from the Donald Trump-owned beauty pageant, but didn’t provide a reason. “She did not meet the requirements to compete despite having stated otherwise on her entry form,” competition officials said in a statement. Talackova, however, says she knows exactly why she was disqualified: She was born with male genitalia. The 6’1” bombshell underwent sexual reassignment surgery in 2010 after living most of her life as a woman. She wouldn’t speak with the press concerning the unceremonious scrubbing of her profile from the Miss Universe Canada website, but did take to Twitter to bemoan being “disqualified for being born.” Many have noted that Miss Universe Canada’s only expressed requirements are that the contestant be a Canadian citizen and between the ages of 18 and 27. Nary a mention of gender confirmation surgery as being grounds for dismissal. On Twitter, Talackova implied that she’s down but not through. “I’m disqualified, however I’m not giving up,” she tweeted. “I’m not going to just let them disqualify me over discrimination.” [theprovince / ctv.] Fuck you, Donald Trump Fuck you, Miss Universe pageant Fuck you, everything

Via Unicorn Booty: "A desperate plea from an 11-year-old transgender girl in Germany has lit up the interwebs today.

If you go onto IMDB tonight and click the news link that says “NPH apologizes for ‘tranny’ remark” because it sounds like a good thing - and it is a good thing, because he fucked up and said it twice on Kelly Ripa’s show and he’s genuinely penitent about it - DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS SECTION because it will make you want to give up on everything.
