Copeland, a married father of three, “took his own life” around 5 p.m. Friday, said Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones. His suicide came after police were asked to do a welfare check and began following …
An Alabama preacher and politician killed himself Friday two days after being outed for having a secret life he shared online as a “transgender curvy girl.”
Alternative headline: Public official outed as a pervert who was stalking local women and posting pictures of kids to porn websites to further his "transition fetish". Dude is a fucking pervert.
This is what happens when people are forced to repress themselves in order to fit in with what society says is acceptable.
What they want becomes bad but they still fantasize about it. So the fantasy's become twisted and perverse. If this person was allowed to be who they wanted to be they may not have gone down such a dark path. It really just makes me sad to see things like this.
That isn't normal. But being raised in the south where you are expected to be the gender you were born with, and then having to suppress your true feelings, leads to associating those feelings with "sick pervert" actions.
As a trans woman it bums me out that this shit wasn't shared earlier. Regardless of how they identified, if the info in this article is true, they sound like a mega creep with some sort of weird forced feminization fetish. I just hope this stuff I'm reading in this article isn't true because if this gets story gets passed around it's just going make things more difficult. It sucks that the worst of people from a group, which honestly in this case I thing you can make an argument that this person may not even be trans but it's kind of impossible to figure that out now, get hoisted up as a reason whole groups of people dont deserve rights.
All I really want is my communities human rights and any other groups rights not being dictated by what imaginary lines on a map especially in my own country. This person's actions, even if they are tran, shouldn't dictate trans people's right to equality and freedom.
I mean, it's in bad taste to involve real people, especially to post their pictures, in erotic fanfic, but if he never harmed or threatened anyone I don't think that warrants more than taking things down and making and an apology to the people involved.
I certainly wouldn't lump that in with people who actively harm people and maliciously invade people's privacy.
You don't think the woman who was featured in the murder-replacement fanfic wasn't scared when she heard of this? I would say that's pretty awful. She did not consent to play a part in this guys fetish that he shared over the internet publicly.
