Milwaukee Public Schools: We Are Watching

I noticed in the referral logs of my site that Milwaukee Public Schools has been on my blog.  I am guessing they have someone monitoring public opinion on their decade long murder of a transgender woman.

Her name was Karis Anne Ross.

Karis Anne Ross.

Your convenience and desire to remain untroubled by the actions of some of your employees were the weapons that were used…but the worst part of it?  10 years.

10 years is 520 weeks…36,502 days.
And in all that time, just one firm decision could have not only saved her life, but ended the torment she endured.

We transgender people are tough…you have to be to survive dysphoria at all.  And we are patient, long-suffering, and simply will do just about anything to be given a chance at a normal life…and those qualities are the very things that led to her enduring unimaginable suffering and harassment.

Because maybe, just maybe…tomorrow will be different.

Well, alas for Karis…it wasn’t.  Different.

It was the same as it has ever been…kill the transgender woman for the crime of choosing to live out her true identity as a woman and eschewing her biological assignment at birth.  She knew she was more than her genitalia…

too bad that her district never figured that out.

So yeah…comb the web, school district.  I for one will certainly do my best to keep my lil nook of the internet up to speed as to what is or is not happening.

And btw…don’t bother trying to enable my bullies…
I don’t work for you.
I know my value.
