sad to hear r.i.p.

[giovanni_hotel]

Sooo gorgeous@@! :(
Honestly, I think it's those dudes most conflicted with their sexuality that lash out violently against transwomen.

I'm speculating because I don't have any details, but you rarely hear about gay men on the DL being murdered by one of their lovers.

I am so sorry to hear about this girl, may she rest in peace

[MissBStar]

This is very tragic.. I'm speachless... My heart goes to her friends and family

[flabbybody]

why can't the Philly police refer to the deceased by her correct gender ?
when LE says 'male' in their official report it makes the tragedy even worse for everyone who knew her

[Silcc69]

Wow she was gorgeous RIP.

[DeliaTS]

Sad, such a pretty girl too. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

[rockabilly]

My sympathies to her family and friends.

Not good, definitely not good. My sympathies to all that knew her.

but this is why trannies really cant trick dudes, not all of them WILL accept it....they will never learn until this happens but it still falls on deaf ears until it's too late.

[SofiaBellez]

may this girl rest in peace. this is just sad. ladies, you got to watch your back, protect your homes and protect yourself.

[giovanni_hotel]

Freddie, I think whoever killed her KNEW she was trans. But there are some dudes who get freaky possessive over a girl, or guys who have really bizarre emotional hangups and impulse control issues.

SOme dudes think a tgirl OWES them something special, or to be treated a certain way by her.
I can't put my finger on it, but the shit a GG might do will make some sexually conflicted str8 guys flip their lid.

She died IMO probably over an argument with a lover. No more, no less.

[NatashaLover]

Another one? OMG this is the never ending story. I personally know some ts friends that make out with guys without telling them, and all of a suddent they reveal their true identity. I don't think thats a good idea at all, but they keep doing it. My sympathies to all that knew her, RIP. :(

[MissBStar]

we can't even begin to speculate. The possibilities are infinite. For me I feel terrible for her and her family. Terrifies me personally as well

[woodken]

she was a friend on my facebook page.my prayer go out to her family.and they find who did this

[alyssaluxor]

i really cant understand why TS/TG killings so popular in US

i never heard about that kind of thing in Asia, i wonder about Brazil or Europe?

RIP

[Solitary Brother]

I heard about this last night and I was in shock.
I dont know what kind of life she lead but no one deserves to be murdered like this.
She was beautiful and very real and a ballroom girl of course....how anyone can call her a man is beyond me.
There is a LOT going on in the world right now in regards to gay/bi/lesbian and trans people and its not positive.
A lot of hate and violence is being directed towards OUR community.

yea she was my facebook friend too R.I.P. :praying:

You dumb as fuck, nobody tries to trick anybody, there are alot of sick people out there, has nothing to do with us pulling one over and getting caught. Can your stupidity be that deep?

This freddy person has got to be the stupidest piece of shit on here at this moment. Nobody tries to trick men, most of us are happy being trans. Its 2010. His ignorance and disrespect to a fallen sister has clearly gone over the limit.

[pasta2000]

Sorry to just hear this sad news. I always say the good die young, and I know she's in a better place now. My condolences

RIP

Alyssa, it's not 'popular' anywhere, or at least I would certainly hope not. I know that's not what you meant dear, just that the sound of it wasn't right. :/

Asia, Brasil, and Europe see gender and sexuality in different ways than the US. It is a serious fault of this nation and its people that we will most likely continue to struggle with for generations. Too bad for us/US and tragic for the many that have and will fall victim to this stunted attitude towards differently-gendered people.

I had a lovely night out last week with a gurl I met through these forums and was amused when she asked if it was OK for her to arrive in 'boi mode' (As she is rather fluid in her gender identity and presentation). I said "Sure!" as I was less concerned with her presentation as I was with her presence. We got to know each other and had, I think, a very nice time together, a nice event that I hope we may repeat often.

I'm thinking of her now, not so much because of the wonderful time we spent together, but because I am truly worried about her. She lives within walking distance of the site of this tragic event and may even have known Stacey.

Vanessa, I'm not defending anyone, or accusing anyone else, but there's historical precedent, all too often, of TS/TG people lying-by-omission, which is a fancy legal term that breaks down to what-they-don't-know-can't-hurt-them. Unfortunately, what they don't know =CAN= hurt =YOU=.

Even if it's not openly intentional, these details can be quite damning and sometimes brutally fatal, if they are not revealed at some point and in a manner and venue that allows a safe escape route for either or both parties. I've talked to gurls that use their beauty and charms on straight men (And I am allowing the suspension of disbelief that they truly are straight in these encounters) as a sort of game, to prove how they pass and how beautiful they are.

Unfortunately, it's =NOT= a game and if it reaches the point where they've brought the guy home or wherever and reveal their 'T' in an intimate moment where the guy expected something else and 'accepts no substitute', the results could be, and have been catastrophic.

I'm tired of reading accounts of suicide, murder and worse.

I'm tired of gurls being shot.

I'm tired of gurls being stabbed.

I'm tired of gurls being beaten.

And when I read of a gurl being beaten to within a breath of her life and, when she didn't oblige, being beaten again with a fire extinguisher...

Enough is enough.

The attitudes of the American people and the acceptance levels of the supposedly 'straight' men in the populace are not something that will change any time soon, perhaps not even in our lifetime.

<Thinking> It's so late and I'm upset. :( Not sure where I want to go with this now.

Ladies, be careful. Watch your backs, embrace your friends. Know your clients (And having a cell phone doesn't make them unimpeachable, Mia! :P ) and meet them in public when and if you can.

To the ladies looking for love in all the wrong places: Don't hide your 'T' (Or lack thereof, if you've gotten the 'clip'). At the very least, it is a sekrit that will lead to more and undermine what might be a fine, long lasting relationship. At the very worst it might be the little bit of subterfuge that leads to murder.

Your own.

[Nivek]

Never knew her but what a loss, my condolences to her loved ones.

[www.tglovers.com]

I guess some would call it an occupational hazard...
My heart goes out to her friends and family.
What a crazy world we live in. (http://cerebraldiva.blogspot.com/2010/10/body-of-transsexual-found-strangled-in.html)

[yodajazz]

Sorry to hear about this. Let us know if you run across any photos of the victim, Stacey. Someone here probably knew her.

[BeardedOne]

Yah, Stacey has some friends that post here, so I'm sure a memorial pic will come up. I've found a few, but don't know which is most recent so I'll let those that knew her better post one.

[Edit]: There are a couple of recent photos posted at the start of the thread.

I know other ladies from that area so the event hits pretty close to home. :(

[giovanni_hotel]

For all the girls who escort but refuse to see Black clients, I hoped they clicked cerebraldiva's link to the news item about Stacey' death:

"Darlene said she remembered watching a hulking, white, bald man leave Stacey's corner rowhouse sometime before 4 p.m. Monday," a few hours before her BF came home and found her dead.

Psychopaths don't have a race, and if you think it's only Black clients who have the potential for violence, all I gotta say is, please invest in a purse sized .22 and OPEN YOUR EYES.

I've exchanged messages with some of the pro girls here, (i'm amateur) i like their style & admire their looks & one of the things i wonder (worry) about is do they have some way to defend themselves? You're alone (presumably) with a person you might not know at all, probably bigger & stronger than you-how can you protect yourself if he becomes violent? Hope you guys have considered this. Take care.

Take care.most of us can more then take care of ourselves but there are the ones who cant and this is what happens,this animal needs the death penalty or even better ship him to me and my sisters for a few hours.i just dont get why this happens its so preventable in most cases where i live no matter who comes in my door hes on no less then 6 video cameras and i have a log of name and number and the time now were lucky because escorting is 100 percent legal here and we have so many llaws here to protect us along with the best hate crime bill ever passed i can only hope the states follows suit .rip angel

well said Lisa
in the States if some client comes and put a guy in my head,i can`t even go to the police cos i would get done for prostitution and this criminal could just go round threating working girls cos he knows he wouldn`t get done it for it.
lucky you live in Canada and me in the Uk
it`s very different here!

her photo is in my first post guys...
