Can everyone take a few minutes out of their day and go to their site to inform 1010 that you will be boycotting their advertisers until they change the referrence to the victim from "tranny hooker" to transgendered woman. They won't do it, but hopefully it will annoy them if they get enough emails.
Slain transgendered neighbor 'a friend of whole building,' Bronx man says

Talib (Sanesha) Stewart, a 6-foot transsexual, was found stabbed in Bronx building (inset) - allegedly by an ex-con who flew into a rage after finding out Stewart was not a woman.
Talib (Sanesha) Stewart, a 6-foot transsexual, was found stabbed in Bronx building (inset) - allegedly by an ex-con who flew into a rage after finding out Stewart was not a woman.
Talib (Sanesha) Stewart was not your everyday sight in the Bronx - a 6-foot man in high heels and lipstick - but was accepted as family by those around the victim, loved ones said Sunday.
So they were shocked to learn that their 25-year-old transgendered neighbor was stabbed to death Saturday by an ex-con who told cops he flew into a rage when he found out his date was not a woman.
"Nesha was a friend of the whole building - a really nice person who didn't deserve that," downstairs neighbor Steven Bamberg, 45, said. "I called him 'her' out of respect."
Police responded to a dispute on Beaumont Ave. about 6 a.m. and found Stewart stabbed several times.
They arrested Steve McMillan, 37, who was still inside Stewart's apartment. He was waiting to be arraigned on a murder charge last night. Police sources said McMillan was a john who flew into a rage after discovering Stewart, a prostitute, was not a woman.
Bamberg, however, denied Stewart was a prostitute.
The statuesque Stewart had breast implants and other plastic surgery to look more like a woman, neighbors said.
McMillan was released from prison in November after serving eight years on a Westchester County drug conviction, state prison records show.
Bamberg said he heard his friend in distress about 5 a.m. and phoned 911.
"It was like a scream," he said. "Then I heard, 'Uhhhhhh,' softer and softer, her last breath."
When cops arrived, they knocked at Stewart's door repeatedly, Bamberg said. McMillan eventually answered, the neighbor said.
Bamberg said he saw police with guns drawn telling the suspect as they led him outside, "You know your friend upstairs is dead."
"You killed my friend!" Bamberg recalled screaming at McMillan before collapsing onto the curb and crying.
Stewart was well-loved since moving into the building three years ago, Bamberg said.
"We all accepted her," he said.
Bamberg said McMillan was at the house hours before the killing, claiming to have left something in Stewart's apartment.
He said cops removed the apartment door as evidence.
"There's a big pool of blood on the floor and all over the bed," Bamberg said. "It looks like a war zone."
A spokeswoman with the medical examiner's office said the fatal blows penetrated Stewart's throat and lung.
Stewart's grandmother, Evelyn Stewart, said she loved the victim.
"I've always been close to him," she said after identifying Stewart's body yesterday. "I didn't care what he was."
McMillan was charged with attempting to sell a controlled substance in 1999, records show. He recently returned to Yonkers and was living temporarily at a shelter, a friend, who identified himself as Ramel C., said.
Ramel C., 37, said McMillan had a girlfriend. He said his life-long friend must have been shocked to discover he was with a man.
"I'm not saying that's a reason to kill anyone," he said. "But I'm sure he was in some type of turmoil or shock."
My condolences to the family. I hope he gets the book. Reminds of me of what happened to Gwen in Cali. It's unnecessary.
People are so short sighted. He could've walked away.
Consider it done!Quote:

Yet, even in death it appears as if courtesy and respect for the
departed are too much to ask for.
From the proceding articles, and the one below, we see the
insensitive manner in which the transgendered are spoken of.
I understand that jounalists must be impartial, objective, and report
the facts.
However I would hope that there would be some latitude for comapssion
and empathy for the victims.

Report: Transgendered Prostitute Murdered by John
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police say they've made an arrest in the
stabbing death of a 25-year-old man at an apartment in the Bronx.
Police say the victim was found dead from multiple stab wounds on the
second floor of 2284 Beaumont Avenue in the Belmont section early
Saturday morning.
37-year old Steve McMillian of Yonkers was arrested and charged with
murder.
The Daily News says the victim was a transgendered prostitute and that
the suspect flew into a rage when he realized the alleged hooker was not
a woman.
The paper cites sources identifying the victim as 25-year old Talib
Stewart, who often went by the nicknames, Nesha or Sanesha.
From the New York Post
The Bronx
A Yonkers man was arrested yesterday for fatally stabbing a man

Steve McMillian, 37, had argued with the 25-year-old victim in the

A boycott of your sponsors by the community of gays, lesbians, transgendereds, and their supporters could gain traction very quickly, should you remain unresponsive.
Can you show some respect to the deceased and make some simple changes to the way you report this tragic story?
thank you.
omg! that is so sad; i hate to hear stuff like this.
my heart goes out to her family! =[
