Transgendered woman abused by Sonoma County Sheriff's

A couple of months ago, I was contacted by a woman who claimed to have been seriously harassed and abused by the Sonoma County Sheriff's when she attempted to report being stalked. On top of some typical violations of civil rights including illegal search and seizure of her property, she was sexually harassed because of her gender (she is a transgendered female). She wanted to make her case known in the hopes that it would prevent this sort of abuse in the future. She has been forced to move from Sonoma County, where she grew up, and out of California, due to what she feels is a complete lack of justice from law enforcement and local officials. Below is part of her story. Please check out her website for more information and please spread the word about this story. http://refusestogo2sonomacountyca.webs.com/aboutme.htm (http://refusestogo2sonomacountyca.webs.com/aboutme.htm)

Well aside from the ranting cap-locked, poorly-spelled, rambling and disjointed parts, oops, there are none of those.  The Sonoma Country Sheriffs Department has been a pretty mean and marginal organization since I grew up there back in the 60s.

But going into things like Bohemian Grove just looks a little tin-foil to me.
