A Colorado man has been sentenced to life for killing a transgender. Allen Andrade dated Justin "Angie" Zapata who presented himself as a woman. Bad move.
Andrade, apparently upset over not getting "the real deal" flew into a rage and killed the eighteen-year old Zapata. Without a strong sense of humor we are often goaded by our ego into making the wrong decisions. Now Andrade gets to spend the rest of his life among the very people he can't stand! Ahhh.. the irony.
But honestly, have you ever met a "transgender", without the influence of strong drink, that really, really could pull it off? Most transgeners are kidding themselves. But, I won't push the issue too far because we all can be fooled at some time.. like when we're totally smashed. Not that I personally would ever have been so foolish... but close! The only thing that saved me was my sense of humor when I discovered "she" was a "he". "What the hell is this?" Asked I in a drunken stupor.. "You brought your own? Hell woman I can't beat that!" Oh my, reflections of foolish days of youth.
The signs are always there that what you may be buying into is not what you hope it is. Men don't make good women any more then women make good men.
The woman in the crew cut, Fonzie jacket, white T-shirt and blue jeans chewing on the end of a stogie, complete with Elvis-style sideburns is, well, still female despite whatever may be rolling around in her brain. And the fellow over there in the spandex underwear, hopped up hairstyle, lipstick and tutu is not really Dolly Parton. But these people aren't necessarily out to carry the illusion to extremes. They are easy to spot. The transgender however is a special breed. They hope to complete the deception by presenting themselves as the real McCoy in all aspects.
So with that in mind I am suggesting that all transgenders come with a warning label:
Warning: This product has been tampered with and may not be suitable for it's intended use.

This little piece was originally written for and posted on gather.com. Then the Nazi squad had a problem with it. I imagine some "gays" were upset and so it was banned. Tsk, tsk, no sense of humor.
Here's the comments that were posted before Hitler censored it:
What an interesting article. I am not so sure what to say on this one, other than wow.

As long as the transgendered person is comfortable with his/her body, who should care?
Deceiving a "date" is wrong.
Yes, I've known one who totally passed as a woman. She was from my hometown: Johanna Reese was gorgeous. She married a dentist in Las Vegas. She got the coveted emcee role in "Splash" at ritzy Bally's in Las Vegas. Her voice was feminine and she could sing. She was fired when it was discovered that she had been a male. She committed suicide.

There are some pre-op transgendered people who can pull it off. A guy who worked at the same place I did years ago was almost fooled at a night club once, dancing with someone he thought was a woman. He realized they weren't a woman, when they were up really close; and the guy had an erection while they were dancing. I don't think it's right though to decieve someone if you're going to date them, or be initimate in any way; but it's sad that someone would be willing to kill over it.

The key here is "almost fooled at a night club".. in other words.. the transgender didn't pull it off. And drink was involved. I rest my case.
Notice.. this article has been "flagged by the community".. it's the same sort of thing that makes it on a far more open forum called NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO.
Interesting isn't it?
