Transgender Child Asks Media Not to Hurt Her With "Tranny"

When this ten year old transgender girl Livvy James asks the world "please don't let anyone else die of this" she's pleading for people to stop using defamation such as "Tranny".
Sadly this abuse began when she went to the store on break before transitioning at school and suffered "adults" abuse when they called her a
freak

This loving ten year old girl is only asking for a chance at life since those episodes have brought severe depression even suicidal thoughts. How COULD anyone live with themselves knowing their words contributed to her killing herself?

Please sign the Change.org petition her family started: Stop the Press using Transphobic terms and deliberately mixing pronouns. Transphobia Kills, help those like this little girl live the life they deserve.

How could we do any less? We love you child. You are our shining star and we need you to grow strong and proud.

Queer Caucus OWS to Protest HRC Goldman Sachs 1% Gala Feb 4th

Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi described Goldman Sachs as great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

Transgender people have been saying that very same thing about HRC for years!

HRC holds extravagant party fundraisers sucking the cash out of a community then they slither back to their lairs to wait for the next party all the while ignoring grass roots advocates, supplanting their advocacy and making policy decisions strictly out of political necessity.
"A feeling of jealous proprietorship towards suffering is as despicable as the cause of the suffering and twice as dangerous to those oppressed." ~ Kelli anne Busey


Their New York City Gala corporate "Equality Award" is going to Goldman Sachs!
The company that has laid waste to our country's financial system, was given millions of tax payers money without repaying, laughed at the 'judicial system' and destroyed the lives of so many of us!

The Queer Caucus will not let them party in peace! I am sure the protesters will experience the same things we did after HRC screwed us over with Barney Franks ENDA. The Mercedes, Lexus's Ferrari's will roll into the Astoria the occupants eyes downcast in shame or looking disparagingly, the protesters standing proudly with purpose and pride.
