Thanks to Faith and Jo Jo I was made aware of the existence of another transwoman rapper, but I wish it was under more positive circumstances.

Los Angeles based rapper Pam Jones was reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint by several men, assaulted and raped. ALL Hip Hop's knuckle dragging readers showed their asses in the comment thread to the story with posted comments dripping with transphobia and tasteless jokes with the same tired transphobic ignorance on display at several other hip hop sites as well.

According to Pam's MySpace page she's recovering and doing okay, so send her well wishes and some love.

I am not into rap, but that doesn't stop me from caring for a sister that is brutely attacked and rape.  And for some jerk face to say anything against her is so full of c**p.

No... Rape is not a joke and is not funny. The only ones I like to BEAT the stuffing out of more are child molesters
