An anonymous donor has given Ten Thousand dollars to help find Dashad Sage Smith, pictured far left. Early on it was apparent that Sage was in the earliest stages of finding out who she is so it is understandable that family misgender her. Dashad if you read this, know we in the trans family understand you. Know that we love you and want nothing more than for you to be safe.

Miss Pennsylvania USA Sheena Monnin Fined 5 Million Dollars For Quiting Over Transgender Inclusion
The price for transphobia has just gone up, way up. Miss Pennsylvania USA Sheena Monnin owes the Donald's beauty pageant 5 million dollars for lost revenue.
New York (AP) — "A beauty queen who claimed this year's Miss USA contest was fixed has been ordered to pay the pageant organization $5 million for defamation."
"In a decision signed last week, an arbitrator found that the comments from Miss Pennsylvania USA Sheena Monnin were false, harmful and malicious. Monnin had alleged that the five finalists had been selected in advance of the pageant's live telecast."
"The arbitrator, Theodore Katz, said Monnin had two motives: "She was a disgruntled contestant who failed to make it past the preliminary competition" and she objected to the pageant's decision to allow transgender contestants. He wrote that the way the contest is judged "precludes any reasonable possibility that the judging was rigged."
