Trans Woman Brooke Fantelli Files Lawsuit For Police Brutality

You might remember from last year this video of Brooke Fantelli being tased 12/06 for apparently no reason? You will remember while she was incapacitated on the ground being tased again even though she had offered no any resistance?

Remember her saying they tased her only after learning she is transgender?

She's suing the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

James Spencer 16 Year Old High School Trans Student Barred From Men's Room

James can't quite understand what the hold up is.

According to news reports he has been denied the use of the public facilities that correspond with his gender expression by the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. . That discriminatory policy is in stark contrast to the welcoming environment established by the nearby Toronto School board.

James has gathered signatures on a petition from over half of the students at the school asking that he be allowed to use the men's room. Seem's simple enough.
