Sarah, The Bringer of Tea

This is a good example of how the state owns our gender identities and how the state removes those identities from us with no regard for our integrity as human beings. The only other people who destroy people's identities in a worse way is the press. I have seen some appalling reports in the Daily Mail but this one is by far worse than all the others. But you are right, the trans community needs to be very careful, no doubt there are some creeps from the media sniffing around for any shite they can drag up. We can do nothing for the victim other than ensure that she is treated with the respect to which she is entitled, and which she is not receiving at the moment. For the alleged perpetrator, we need to ensure that her trail (both in court and by the media) is fair.
