Starlight

[link]

From a tv broadcast in San Antonio yesterday- (I couldn't hear the audio or view the video.) A former police officer convicted of raping a transwoman is calling for a retrial. The reporter uses switching pronouns and leads the second paragraph with "The transsexual, who goes by the name Starlight..." to pit her against her rapist "Officer Dean Gutierrez." New evidence from a (former?) drug dealer implicating Starlight in a setup against Gutierrez may be enough to call for a new trial. Thanks, Texas. It's been real. Don't forget he was a cop.
