By the way, I’ve been fortunate to have traveled the world. I do so inconspicuously. When in Rome, I do as the Romans do. And, I’ve never had a problem. Take this analogy and apply it to your transgender/transsexual/transvestite behaviors.

Chris was correct. I used the wrong word “conservative” when I, in fact, meant mainstream and blend in. Had the victim done all she/he could to “blend in” without causing attention to be focused on him/her because of his/her action(s), then the perps deserve the book thrown at them. Even if the victim was flamboyant and not mainstreaming his/her actions, then, of course, he/she does not deserve an attack. My only point is, and I’ll write it as clearly as I can, the more mainstream one is, and the more one blends-in well in society, the less chance he/she will be a victim. This holds true with anything in life. It’s not a gay/straight issue – it’s a “life” issue.

@Chris – So if the person did something to provoke the attack,then the perpetrators are right? She pretty much had it coming to her? Wow! Amazing how you feel Laurel has a point, blend in or suffer the consequences. Yeah, both of you need to focus on the crime, cause the advice you would give to the victims of hate crimes will only set the community back towards the fight for change and equality.

Laurelboy does have a point. The point is blend in. If the person attacked did nothing to provoke the attack, then the perpetrators are wrong. By being conservative, I believe he meant mainstream, not wearing an American flag pin and singing the National Anthem. Let’s deal more with Farkeem and Laqueta’s hatred. Funny how we are more sympathetic to minorities who hate as opposed to mainstream haters. Thay are all vile. Concentrate on the crime.

Your kidding right “trannies” ?” Choose to become transsexual”? “Be conservative as possible”? Is that the same advice you give to non transsexual people to prevent being harrassed and beaten to death

Same with Gays. It was their decision to become Gay. and if they all just hid in the closet, they wouldn’t have any problems.

Er… wait.. isn’t that Complete Nonsense? So why say that about Trans people unless you’re a bigot and all-round asshole?

While I certainly don’t condone violence and hope that Farkeem and Laqueta get the book thrown at them in court, trannies really need to act in as conservative social way as possible. No flashiness, no flamboyance, and no anything that will attract attention to them. It was their decision to become transgendered, so, just like everything in life, you pay the consequences of your actions.
