Well, I’m glad that he was eventually captured. I can understand feeling a little envious that he was able to pass so easily .

@Jessica: We knew shortly after, who that guy was, but it needed years to catch him. He is a gipsy and he was always on the run.
During that time I was still living as a male, but there was a stich of envy, when I realized that guy’s perfect passing

Wow, that is one of the most unique stories that I’ve ever heard? Did you ever catch the guy?

I’m a transsexual police officer from Germany and I once had a case of hostage after a bank robbery.

Finally the bad guy set all the hostages free and they left the bank. When we stormed inside the bank, we couldn’t find him. Later we realized, that he changed clothes with one of the female hostages and left in drag.
Nobody realized him.

Any person that isn’t a white heterosexual male just has to be identified and marginalized and it sucks.

The media preys on the general public’s fears and ignorance. They believe us to be deranged lunatics and so the news outlets work hard to reinforce that feeling, meanwhile stomping all over our feelings and marches toward equality.

I always wonder what the point of including someone’s gender expression is when it is unrelated to the story. It’s not just when the person is a criminal, either; I just read an article in the NY Post about a cop being accidentally shot while responding to a domestic violence call. The writer felt the need to include that the woman who made the call was transgender–referring to her as “the transsexual” through most of the article–and then disclosing her birth name, adding her chosen name as an “a.k.a.” afterward. Absolutely infuriating.

Anything to sell a story, right? *sigh*
