We DEMAND transparency on trans-government funding.....

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Honored The Susan J. Hyde Award for Longevity in the Movement to Bamby Salcedo. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? "Just my two-cents" The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and was misguided by whoever nominated Salcedo. What a waste of taxpayers funds and that is why we DEMAND transparency.

Dr. G: Medical Examiner

According to Dr. G: "Tanya Amador a 28-year-old stripper collapses in her home and refuses to go to the hospital. Later, she is found dead in bed. Her brother revealed that the woman used to be a man, but recently had a sex change. Needle marks are found on her breasts, but no drugs are found in her system. Dr. G finds that silicone leaks from the puncture marks, but the woman had no breast implants. Had the woman been injecting her breasts with silicone, and did this somehow cause her death?"

Los Angeles County Transgender Pageants and SAMHSA federal funding....

As a independent transgender activist and a taxpayer: "Just my two-cents" Los Angeles Transgender Women pageants are predominantly held at nightclub venues where alcohol is consumed....And at the same time, those non-profit organizations sponsoring these events are currently receiving grant funds available through the Substance Abuse Treatment, and the Center for Mental Health Services (SAMHSA). Since the major areas for programs and initiatives covered by SAMHSA include, but are not limited to: substance abuse and mental health prevention, treatment, recovery, and related resources. It doesn't make any sense that if SAMHSA is funding these non-profit organizations to provide assistance for those in substance abuse recovery, that they would also be approving this type of scope-of-work......

Injectable fluid silicone- Human morbidity and mortality- 1975

Update: I recently found an abstract published by the Journal of the American Medical Association
( JAMA) dated October 20, 1975. Which states the following:

Injectable fluid silicone - Human morbidity and mortality.
JAMA. 1975 Oct 20;234(3):308-9.
Ellenbogen R, Rubin L.

Four patients who had received silicone injections had the following
complications: migration, hepatic disease manifested as granulomatous hepatitis
(previously undescribed, to our knowledge), hypopigmentation, and death. Silicone
should now be considered as a possible cause of hepatic granulomas in an
appropriate host.

How many transgender women have to DIE before we STOP promoting silicone injections?

http://www.advocate.com/health/health-news/2005/07/13/transgender-woman-dies-after-silicone-injections


How many transgender women have to DIE before we STOP promoting silicone injections? Since medical silicone is extremely expensive and hard to come-by, most of those persons promoting or injecting the so-called "silicone" is nothing but che...micals such as, Crisco oil, industrial-grade silicone intended for cars and airplanes, and superglue to seal the puncture left from the large syringe needle.

Does 6-months or 1-year fits the crime when someone is convicted of injecting silicone to transgender women, unless the person dies due to the silicone? Then the charges are for murder....Is that what we are really worth? Are we really that naïve not to have any value of our lives in the criminal justice system? It is not OKAY, to be promoting any type of silicone activity for fear of harming our transgender youths......

The "bad news" is that in Los Angeles County, anyone who speaks about this problem directly and/or indirectly are in fear of retaliation from those promoting silicone injections....And believe me, I have witnessed it first hand....

But the "good news" is that I've decided to make it my mission to ALERT the transgender women community of the horrific epidemic of silicone promotions that currently is killing our community....And also, at the same time will be delivering the message that anyone promoting and/or engaging in any type of illegal activity related to silicone injections should be held accountable.....Furthermore, the criminal penalties are extremely lenient and do not fit the crime......

Warning about silicone injections....

Warning: It is not only me saying this, but a clinical literature indicated that industrial grade silicone injected into the body may cause medical complications, such as respiratory embolism, infections, scleroderma, toxic shock syndrome, ...granuloma, neuropathy, lymphadenopathy, rheumatic symptoms, severe autoimmune and connective tissue disorders, SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, and death. So with all that we know, and the medical research that has to been done....Why do we continue to Glamorize and/or Glorify when we see a transgender woman whose physical appearance is overly exaggerated......In that case, when a transgender youth sees that we as LEADERS/ROLE MODELS are glamorizing and/or glorifying those voluptuous feminine figures, they will do the same.....Where is the concept of "Aging Gracefully"? Or is it, that for transgender women we don't see ourselves living the "Golden Years" and therefore we are just a few that'll reach 60+? I need assistance in finding the "logic" to all of this if there is any, because I've witnessed a huge percentage of 3-decades of the transgender movement vanish before my very own eyes.....I LOVE CARMEN CARRERA & LAVERN COX FOR SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR OUR TRANS-YOUTHS......
