How long is he in jail for, it didn't say.

I'm glad he was convicted for that, it looks like he didn't get off any easier- not that I know how the system works. I can't believe someone tried to say calling a woman "it" and saying that killing anyone who isn't straight is a-ok was a joke.

Life in Prison without Parole and possibly the death sentence...but that is doubtful the state House of Representatives just past abolishment of the death penalty, next to the State Senate.....and then the governor's office for his signature.....but definitely life in Maximum Security......in Canon City.......

Sometimes the courts administer justice while they interpret the law.

Thank the Lord! And now - maybe - all those who wrote those hateful comments, just maybe, will reevaluate how they reacted.

We can only hope...

Every now and then we get it right, too late but at least it is right.

Everyone must remain aware, these people are every where and they don't see anything wrong with eleminating someone who isn't just like them.

Scary thought,

Isn't it.? Who knows how many Sons of Satan will march in sympathy for this monster....Believe me there are many outlaw motorcycle gangs that will make Alan Andrade a hero..like Timothy McVee or Horst Wessel.....

What's so disturbing is some blogs i'm reading that feel this guy got a raw deal. Some see him as a hero who got rid of another transgender person. I don't know how you fight that.

Angie Zapata and her death have been the subject of many topics around here lately... It makes one think.

I don't believe that her killer actually thought he was doing something wrong... especially when he referred to her as an IT... dehumanizing a person in that way as justifying the taking of that life. There's got to be a better punishment than what he got, more fitting for the crime he committed.

Let's send our Wishes of well to the family of Angie Zapata... May she be granted the peace and love and happiness in her next life...

You fight it with Knowledge and passion... Because Arrogance, stupidity and Ignorance passed of as knowledge is no substitute for the real thing. We need Role models to stand up and present to the world that WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT THINGS.... to put faces and names to Transgender people and be recognized as Human individuals....

I'm betting that those people who wrote those blogs, praising him as a hero, were ignorant, religious freaks* who barely graduated High school (if they did at all), who subscribe to all the hate/white power philosophies out there.

The guy that killed her didn't get a raw deal... He got what he deserved. He killed a human being and has to pay the consequences...

Religious Freak*= an individual so wrapped up in their religion and judging things wrong that they miss the message of brotherhood, tolerance and love in most religions to the point that are hypocritical bigots.

We can write letters to the newspapers when somehing like this happens. They printed mine and i beleive someone else here at Lura's wrote. The key is to be irate, but calm and reasonable. I think mine were printed because I held my nose and lied, telling the press I thought they did a rather decent job of reporting.

I also had to be careful not to read the other letters too much - a bunch of sick people! And they say 'we' are the abomination!

AWFUL!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
