This website draws attention to the tragic travesties of injustice
visited upon transgenders primarily because of their transgender
status. Here you will find horror stories that can make the
Spanish Inquisition seem tame by comparison. Here you will also
read of amazing courage and spiritual maturity in the lives of
transgender women surrounded by predatory males. Here you will
encounter the integral stamina of these remarkable women despite
being subjected almost daily to sexual violence. Yes, some have
even been raped with "corrections" complicity, but not even this
has shaken their spiritual core. In their stories you may find some
inspiration for the amazing potential of the human spirit to
endure great depths of pain and misunderstanding. And these
stories are really only the tip of the iceberg of sad state of our
adversarial justice system that does little to honor life.
The first story featured here is about a transwoman who has been
incarcerated since the early 1970s for a murder she did not
commit. At a low point in her life, during a time where there was
little support for an emerging transgender with her needs to
stretch beyond cultural gender boundaries, she was coerced into
confessing a crime for which she had no knowledge. She was
already entertaining thoughts of suicide, so she gave her words
little thought. She has since regretted that moment not merely for
her own sake, but also for the victim's family who was denied
justice when the actual killer was left unapprehended. Despite the
regret and the violent climate of prison, or perhaps because of all
this, she emerged as a strong Christian woman. In her story you
may find the kind of "witness" often romanticized in the first
century Christians amidst the Imperial Roman oppression. You
will find many stories here that challenges the status quo belief
that America is the land of the free. Those who have cast off the
shackles of gender conformity oppression and truly "free" in
their spirit have an amazing story to share with you. Join us in
discovering this wonderful adventure of living true to one's
spirit, despite every reaction that attempts to detract from their
transcendent journey. You just might find some encouragement in
how you negotiate the many challenges in your own life, as we all
are struggling in some way to live true.
