Posted on: Transgender killer torn with guilt, searching still for identity

Transgender Killer? Well, compared to most of the killers serving life or on death row, I think that's hardly the case. Granted she did do the act, but being under the influence of the booze and with the victim being just as drunk and accused of stealing money, there was a rescipe for eminent disaster lurking.

The problem for Navajo started way back as a child. Being of a transsexual nature, and being forced to "be a man" made her psycologically vunerable to her addiction to booze. Then to compound things, add to that a society that systematically rejects transsexuals for no other reason that their own preconceived notions about transsexuals and the resulting prejudice, forced Navajo into a compromising anti-social situation that put her onto a collision course with disaster.

It was only a matter of time before the shady world would gobble her up. I hope that someday she'll be able to get her self-respect back. All too often I've seen unemployed transsexuals head into disaster. Either they're killed or they wind up in jail for one thing or another.

What's really needed here is for society to accept that some people are transgendered or transsexual and treat them no less than a first class citizen should be treated.
