WARNING: This is a fairly graphic recounting by a transwoman of a rape she suffered and then the discrimination and humiliation she received from medical personnel after.

Accordingly, I am munging the URL.  Please copy/paste and fix to go to the article.

American Airlines lost my luggage, but said if I waited around, it would probably be in. So I got a hotel room close to airport and was waiting.

Went down to bar for a drink. Somebody slipped something into my drink.

Was trying to block everything out, so I wouldn't have to remember any of it!!I guess

Finally admitted me to a room, and a nurse asked me, do you think you have been assaulted. I said Yes, but they were hesitant to do a rape test on me, cause they had never done one, on a transgendered female.

What a nightmare.  It's enough to make you want to curl up under the bed pointing a shotgun at the door.

I don't know who I'm more pissed at - the rapist or the medical staff who ignored her. I mean gee - she said she was bleeding and cramping from a major orifice - maybe they'd want to check it out whether they thought she had a vagina or not?

Screw the shotgun - I'd like to tear the rapist's testes out and jam them down his throat.  I'd love the chance to break one of these sick animals like a twig while I still have the musculature of a 6' 250 lb man.  I swear to God, I'm angry enough to try.

Posted on: September 14, 2008, 01:54:31 AMHmmm I can't even begin to think about the kind of punishment would be sufficient for this type of beast. I was there, well, that was near on to thirty years ago now, abused and raped multiple times by my ex. The thing is even if one has dealt with this invasion of ones body, and the scars have healed, the memory is still as detailed as the day I was assaulted back thirty years ago.
