One out of a million gets plastered all over the headline, the case of trans person who was arrested for voyeurism, but you don’t see a word about Deeniquia Dodds except in local media outlet.
Did you read anything about this in the national news?
And then you have this nonsense at FOX
Transgender Woman, Deeniquia Dodds, Dies After Being Shot in DCBut what does the media pounce all over one trans person who commits a crime, a crime that thousands of straight people commit every year. The violence against us gets underreported… “Oh well it is just another tranny prostitute” she is a person doing what she need to survive.

Fox & Friends were recently confronted with a theory that the Statue of Liberty, the icon of American freedom, could possibly be a man. A new Discovery Family program titled, “Secrets of America’s Favorite Places” suggests that French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi used his brother as a template for the famous statue.

When asked if Lady Liberty transcends femininity or masculinity, the scholar [Edward Berenson, a professor of history and director of the Institute of French Studies at New York University] said, “There’s no question she’s a tough lady. She’s a lady.”
She’s a lady everyone! Now you and Fox & Friends can rest easy knowing that the 93 meters and 450,000 pounds of copper and iron we’ve had to greet immigrants since 1886 is a lady hunk of metal and not a male one.
