Plain Dealer reports the Murder of a Transgender Woman as A "Brutal Slaying" of a "Oddly Dressed Man"

The Plain Dealer Doubles Down On Transphobia.

Plain Dealer reporter John Caniglia wrote three articles about the murder of a transgender woman in Ohio. The first Concrete block on body found in Olmsted pond was not entirely offensive, ignorant and crude, but factual.

Update 4/30: The plain Dealer under intense criticism from the trans community and allies has changed the title of the second and third articles and edited a paragraph calling her body a 'it'.

The second article's title was "Body of oddly dressed man found in Olmsted Township pond identified". This has been changed to "Oddly dressed body found in Olmsted Township pond identified."

The third article's title was changed from "Brutal slaying marks the end of Cleveland man's fight for acceptance" to "Brutal slaying marks end for Clevelanders fight for acceptance."

The PD posted this on the bottom of the last article. "This story has been edited since originally posted to bring it within the style recommended by the Associated Press involving transgender people."

The first article included police contact information. The next two still articles don't.

Caniglia didn't bother to include police contact information in his next articles. His editor probably didn't care if he did only encouraging him to step up his transphobia after noticing the attention the first article was receiving.

The second article published 1:11pm on the 29th"Body of oddly dressed man found in Olmsted Township pond identified" reflects Caniglia's hatred of transgender people as he intentionally misgenders the woman recounting with a vengeance her self defense and use of HRT.

The third article published later at April 29, 2013 at 8:15 PM, "Brutal slaying marks the end of Cleveland man's fight for acceptance." was nothing less than a all out assault on transsexuality.

John Caniglia ha absolutely no respect for the dead or any clue as to who we are. I invite everyone to comment on his articles.

Gay Star News also has a article about her murder.

Police ask anyone who may know the victim, or have information about his death, to contact them at 1-440-235-3335. 

Virgin Air Mogul Sir Richard Branson Losses Bet Now Must be a "Tranny" Stewardess May 1st

While it's not clear if Virgin Airline CEO Sir Richard Branson said 'tranny' in describing his payment for losing this bet or if Global Travel News used this defamation to sensationalize it's article t's usage in that context doubles the misogynous denigration all of womanhood. Wonder how Virgin Air stewardess and stewards feel about being the last thing their boss would ever want to be?

Branson who also owns a race car team lost a bet with AirAsia X and Lotus Racing boss Tony Fernandes over who would do best in 2010.

AirAsiaX CEO Tony Fernandes has said Branson has to comply with his company’s grooming standards and that includes shaving his legs, donning high heels, putting on some makeup, and slipping into the AirAsia’s famous red uniform. This task does not only entail serving champagne to guests but “tranny-for-a-day” Branson is expected to take on regular duties on the flight, including cleaning the toilets. "He will be committed to carry out the responsibilities of a flight attendant, including offering coffee, tea, and other food and beverages to guests on the special six-hour Perth to Kuala Lumpur flight," Fernandes was quoted as saying. ~ Global Travel News

Obviously Sir Richard Branson feels the most humiliating punishment a man could endure would to be a female for a day told the press it "will be my first, and most certainly last time as a flight attendant!".

That's kind of funny since I feel the same if I was forced into 'TRANSFORMING' in a misogynistic pig. Even if it was just for a day.
