Rachel Roo Story Is A Hoax: Retraction.


Guest

Recommended Posts

An important word to our community.

This is a very odd turn of events and I am sure that the cowardly and ignorant hate mongers will use it to their best advantage to stall any real action toward equal rights for all.

We could all just hang our heads and be angry at anyone and everyone because we were made to look foolish.

But I think that the better thing to do is to look at how we responded, with love and compassion we came together in shock and mourning a loss and decided that hating the people who did this was not the answer.

Be proud of how we responded.

Do not let anger, disgust or shame turn our response to this hoax in any other direction - do not hate her, hate what has happened and be more careful in the future, yes - hold resentment or anger, no.

We live in a world where everyone has their own agenda and most people do not care what happens to others - some people have emotional disorders that require them to do what ever necessary to attract attention to themselves, they should be helped not hated.

The pattern of tragic stories could put her into that category so let's not jump off of that cliff again - let's try to get all of the information that we can and maybe there is help for her.

To the outside world we have been played by a terrible joke and may have lost some of what little credibility that they have afforded us - that is a very small loss.

To me we have grown as a community, we are closer, stronger and more resilient than anyone could ever have imagined.

Be proud of how you reacted, of our wonderful community and above all of who you are, each and every one of us.

Love to all of you,

Sally

...is Raychel even real? or is this a sick joke or what? I mean I am relived, but I trusted roo...whoever it is. Do we have any proof either way for the crime? or the hoax?

I am confuzzled

This is ironic... I posted a little tribute to her on my art site, and minutes before I read THIS someone sent me a message saying she found a similar blog entry where the facts didn't add up.

I would post links to it, but I'm not sure that would be in good taste.

Since I don't know all the details for sure, all I can say is that I am happy she is alive... sad that this scary hoax somehow came to be... just hoping it doesn't happen again :c

I can't believe our emotions were toyed with...especially me and another sister, who was said to be like Roo's twin...... If this is a hoax...I really don't know how to break the news to her....it hurts...

Raychel Roo

Our first reaction will most likely be rage at being taken in with a hoax.

Our second reaction will be relief someone was NOT kidnapped, tortured, gang raped, buried alive and sufferered so before dying.

Our third reaction will be , "how much harm did this do to us at Laura's?"

Our fourth reaction will be, "how much harm did this do to the cause of understanding of Gender Disphoria in general?"

Perhaps that will be as far as some people go - BUT some will go a few steps farther, like me:

My fifth reaction is if we cannot trust people in our own community, who can we trust? Should we leave it? Are we vulnerable to such terrible treatment?

My sixth reaction is - no, statistically some twisted people will manage to take advantage of our good will and loving trust. It just happened. I must stay and help Laura, the administration and the poor hard working moderators, to fix the damage as best we can.

Finally - my last reaction is to pray for God to help the mentally ill who would perpetuate such an evil hoax.

I BEG YOU - EVERYONE - to learn a lesson and to understand the reaction you had was noble and grand. It is the hoaxters who are the fools, not us. They throw away all our love, compassion, and attempts to help them. IT IS THEIR LOSS.

We are really winners here, we passed a mighty test before GOD. We loved Roo unconditionally and mourned her passing wholeheartedly.

Dedicated to the membership, staff and... Laura

I kind of wondered when searching for that headline (or anything regarding transgender teen murder NYC) didn't bring up anything current.

Same-same with me, Lizzie...

I've been searching for two days now and found nothing....I've been wondering how that could be possible...

A hoax never really crossed my mind...just a Transgendered person's murder getting swept under the rug.....

One thing i have noticed, nobody has mentioned trying to get in touch with Roo or family to see if this is a joke.

This is a very sick joke, if that is what it is.

Well I am seriously enraged that the poor pathetic fool(s) who did this, but not only relieved to find it's false, but also to show that as the darkest hour drops upon us...We do come together.

I am sorry that your pride has been wounded and that anyone had to feel all of the pain that was generated by this hoax, but if someone has spent over a year and a half helping people in crisis situations in the chat rooms and all of the members who had chatted with them had felt that she was a caring and wonderful person it is rather difficult to sort out what is genuine and what is not - she was doing a wonderful job up until the story of her death - and I must say that she did not report it herself so there is a possibility of a conspiracy against her as well as the site itself. We are looking into all of the facts that we can gather but in rushing to judgment against this site, you are doing the same acting without proper information that caused this in the first place.

We are a rather large but privately run site and our abilities to check out all members is limited by resources and laws governing privacy, but I would like to point out that in matters of inaccurate information we are far ahead of the United States Government who started a war that we are still fighting to get rid of non existent weapons of mass destruction.

I am sorry that you have been embarrassed and feel foolish, I was fooled and I for one am never embarrassed for caring.

Love ya,

our only contact has been with an aunt who is the one that informed of us of roo's death and now

flatly refuses to give any details such as where it happened and says it is the familys wishes that

all information be withheld.

i find it hard to believe that a crime of this magnitude would be swept under the rug to satisfy the

families wishes to remain anonymous

Amen Sally, you said what I wouldn't have been able to (nicely) I think.

People do things like this because that's who they are. We trust and love and care because that's who we are.

I for one do not regret a moment of caring or loving or being sad, I would much rather have been made a fool of than for this story to be true.

I actually had hunches very early on when there was no reporting, and the alarms got louder and louder as the excuses for same came. But I sobbed nonetheless and trusted and cared until the evidence was overwhelming. It's who I am. It's who Sally and Mia and Laura and all of us that cared about Raychel are.

So, M_J, who exactly are you?

With much love and affection to all,

Michelle

I remember the incident with august a few years ago. like August, I guess raychel didnt wanna keep up the elaborate lies anymore so she killed off this persona.

all this has hurt me emotionally :( she was a cool person and all her stories of overcoming such horrible events gave me strength and hope.

even though "raychel" is not real, I will still keep her advice and our chats in my memory. the person behind the fake raychel seemed like a smart and caring person though when you forget about the deceit. I guess a little lie turned into sumthing much bigger that this person tried very hard to keep going.

so long raychel, or whoever the person behind her is...

Yes, Raychel was real to so many, I've already heard how many she has helped. For whomever she was real to, remember, she is still real in that sense. Whatever she pulled out of you was still a part of you! Whatever hope or inspiration or comfort she gave was real hope and inspiration and comfort!

I like the idea of just thinking it was a lie spun out of control Mezi. Let's just remember that she helped numerous people through numerous things and that whatever the end result, the story of Raychel is a lot more than just the endpoint.

Mezi I think you are exactly right. What the person behind Raychel meant for evil was inexplicably turned to good. I just can't help wondering what if Raychel is real?...just someone posted on her behalf or something weird? I don't know I'm still hopeful I guess...

This is WHY I asked for verification in the first place, and why I ceased to participate in the conversation after no one offered any. The whole thing smelled a little wrong. But I've only been here a little while and haven't known enough people

That said, I'm hopeful Rachael is in fact okay, and you shouldn't fault yourself too much for being trusting.

I have pulled the story about Rachel Roo as the story can't be verified. Things just didn't add up. This morning we traced the IP and there is no story in the local paper in that town. A story of this nature would be in the public domain. Roo has been a staff member here for a year and has never made up stories before. " It appears to be a hoax and one that is in very poor taste and hurting the trans community heavily in a time when we are fighting very hard to be understood."

I extend my sincerest apologies for reporting the story without verification. I Posted it because I thought I knew the person personally and was grief stricken. I was upset over the loss and verification wasn't first on my mind. We were all fooled. I feel like such an idiot.

Laura

you are not an idiot. we were all fooled.

it's just another way for someone to hurt us all, but that doesn't make us idiots for wanting to trust and love that person.

peace&love

I'm a loving caring sister who when i found out spent a day deeply upset and in tears over the loss of another loving caring sister..

it is rather difficult to sort out what is genuine and what is not - she was doing a wonderful job up until the story of her death - and I must say that she did not report it herself so there is a possibility of a conspiracy against her as well as the site itself. We are looking into all of the facts that we can gather but in rushing to judgment against this site, you are doing the same acting without proper information that caused this in the first place.

this is my point why rush to judgment why tell everyone when you don't have all the facts there is such a thing as a telephone

please go ahead and discredit me if you wish.

i do care i care enough to join this site. maybe to make new friends maybe to help make a difference...

i never even knew "roo" sorry because i was an emotional mess over nothing but there again i would be the same way no matter who it will be next... thats just who i am

now let me go fine a new members intro thing have a good day

A "relative" dropped into chat to give us the news and the details. I was more in shock when I got the news. If it was a new person I would've waited for verifacation. She was though here a year and did a lot of good. Who has that much patience?

Laura

It actually sounds a lot like someone I had to deal with on a gaming forum I ran several years ago. All I really knew about the person was she was using a dial-up ISP and she lived in the UK, but she would come onto the message boards and post heartbreaking stories about how she [miscarried, almost jumped off a building, is writing this from a mental institution, has been threatened with death from a local gang...]...the first story was believable enough, but after a while the lies started to stack up and it just didn't seem right. It didn't take long for us to find out that almost nothing she was saying was true, and made the veracity of anything she said suspect. I have no idea what happened to 'Zoe,' but I hope that person found the help they needed. They were pathological; if you banned their name, they'd make a new one and come back, and because they were using a dial-up connection it was nearly impossible to ban their IP. So they kept coming, and we just started marking their accounts as "**ZOE**." Eventually aftering being ingored for a few months, the person stopped and went away for good.

I don't know if Raychel (Rachael?) was the same way, or if she was simply a social experiment conjured up by someone. Either way, what a rotten lie.

It was so hard to believe that this could have happened to Roo!

It was like someone ripped out my heart.

Now it is even harder to believe that it wasn't true.

It is like someone stomped on my heart.

I remember something someone once told me that happens when a pre opp girl truly becomes a post opp woman.

Most all will want to get on with their life, and put all of their other life far far behind them.

I have to wonder now if this wasn't just Roo!'s way of saying goodbye to her other life, and friends.

Either way I think she is gone from our lives, and I for one will still miss her.

Oh dear Roo!

I still love Yoo!

One last good bye

you made me <<cry>>

      This one is NOT over, and this is not a final final ruling on the matter since this was a procedural and not substantive ruling based on scientific evidence.

      I am on a three month review cycle for dosage. Do you have a plan with your doctor? I didn't discuss overall strategy when I got my prescription, it was a very long appointment. I was able to ask via web message to get a better idea; we'll check blood every 3 months and titrate accordingly. I don't know if we'll change labs to 6mo after a year or not, but that's where I'm at now. I, too, was like "is this enough?" at the start. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I've seen positive results during the months at a lower dose and continue to notice changes. For instance, my skin sensitivity is much higher. I always wondered why my wife was so ticklish, but I'm starting to understand why. I'll bet I am 20-40% more sensitive to touch than I was before; gently tickling my arm (I would wake up doing this sometimes, up and down my arms) now makes my fingers tingle...in a good way. :)

      @mattie22 Welcome to the Forums Mattie.  Our basic view here is that if you have any questions about your gender then you are not Cis Gender and belong here for that reason alone, because if you are not Cis, then you are someplace in the Trans and/or Non Binary part of the world, and on this site, that is simply who is here, Trans and NB folks!  Be comfortable and do not be afraid to ask questions here, or even give answers to others from your own experience.

      Thanks for the great advice and support @Astrid. I appreciate it!

      When you are sure you want to continue your HRT journey and the best dosage for you, consider asking your doctor for a three month prescription cycle (90 days rather than 30). This can result for some in considerable savings. It definitely did for me...   I am at the 4 year 5 month mark for my estrogen patches and am so glad I made the decision to go forward.    Best wishes!   Astrid

The Red Jeep of Myrtle Beach is infamous.   what about putting aluminum diamond plate on both sides so they match using high strength automotive sealant adhesive?edges could be worked so they aren’t blunt which would be bad.  Paying for body work here is VERY expensive!  And my body work is limited to Fiberglas sailboats.   Willow

      Bob met her in the parking  lot.  "I tried to call, but no answer." "My phone is missing. I thought it was in my purse but it wasn't. I emptied my purse and my desk but no phone. I checked around.  I don't know where it is." "Well, I found you." "You did, and I am glad." "You are?  I was afraid you were off on a date with one of a dozen of your boyfriends." "Bob, let me be perfectly clear.  There is no one else.  There never has been anyone else. There never will be anyone else. " "Sounds serious." "Dead serious.  Now stop worrying. Don't even tease me about it." "Did I tell you that the only girls I dated reminded me of you, and they both broke it off. They said the same thing: either marry you or get over you." "I think you said that.  I am not ready for that yet." "Neither am I." "I need to change before we go." He had the Wrangler.  It would have been rude to make him wait outside, so he sat in her main room while she went down the hall. He heard her lock the door, no surprise.  Absolutely clean. The laptop on the corner desk had its cover closed, and there was a thick Excel workbook beside it.  Printer.  Wall calendar with cats.  A sunflower wall decoration.  Love seat. Coffee table that was clear.  A Bible underneath it and some books from high school days: John Powell's Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am topped one neat pile, and Success with Seasons: How To Look Your Best headed another, with geometric perfection. He could see into the kitchen.  There were a few clean dishes in the dish drainer but the sink was clean. Around the corner, behind the entrance door, was the laundry room and he could see the dress she wore last night hanging there. She had washed it after wearing it once? Wow.   Now she was out: figure-hugging jeans, knee-high boots, a pretty pink top, her hair pulled back with a band. She smiled at him, grabbed a cross-body bag and proclaimed herself ready. "I didn't leave my phone here, either. Let me try something." She went to the computer and logged in, entered a website, entered a number.  "This should GPS my phone but it is dead. Very strange. Like someone stole it." "Do you want to report it missing?" "No. I have a feeling it will turn up tomorrow  Probably in my desk, lower drawer, at the back, the batteries out. I have a co-worker who would think it is funny." "I'm not amused." "Likewise.  Oh. Church. Bible.  She grabbed a worn ESV from a shelf and flashed a smile at Bob that lit up his world from head to toe and said, "Ready." It was a fast food restaurant with a limited menu.  She had ordered quickly last night.  But now she stood and stared at the menu.  Several times she went up to the counter and asked questions, and finally was handed their Nutritional Fact Sheet. It was twenty minutes from the time they entered to when she ordered a side salad, a small cheeseburger (no pickle, no mustard, no ketchup, but BBQ sauce and no onion rings) and iced tea.  He paid for both meals. "Let's say grace." "Okay, now that we are going to be church people, we should."  He did, and they ate. "You are beautiful." "Focus, Bob, focus." He smiled.  "How was your day?" "I love the roses, but don't do it again, please.  The women in my office are terrible." "Okay. Saves me some money." "That's what I love about you." They laughed.  They pulled into the parking lot of Community Church.  It was a friendly crowd dressed as they were and they fit right in. They buried themselves in the middle of a pew towards the back.  The Worship Team cranked up and they could feel the vibrations throughout their bodies.  They went through a number of high-paced songs.  "Uh-oh," Taylor whispered, and gestured.  The offering was being taken by the hostess who got fired the previous night. "Should we leave now?" "I should talk you into Thursday evenings.  We are talking about not backing down.  Not hiding." The ex-hostess prayed over the offering , eyes closed, and opened them.  Somehow she was looking right at Taylor. She stared for a moment, and then said "Brother Mike, time for the Word."   As he came on stage she whispered something to him.  He turned, scanned the crowd until he found Taylor, and stared at her for ten seconds or so. "You sure you don't want to leave?" "I want to crawl under my seat.  But I would not respect myself in the morning." Brother Mike began with a long prayer about sin in the camp.  Society was degenerating. Men were thinking they were women and women men. He had been meaning to address this issue since he had heard about sin coming even to their own city, and now was the Kairos, for the devil was among them tonight. "Now would be a good time to go." "Ssssh." "In the beginning God made them male and female. Amen?" He got a big amen.  Bob and Taylor amen-ed along with the rest of them.  Brother Mike was surprised.  He continued. This was off the cuff.  He went down the same list that Aggie liked to send her, which amused Taylor.  Taylor amen-ed all of them.  "Oooh, now, tonight there will be DELIVERANCE in the house of the Lord!" AMEN "Freedom from bondage in the Name of the LORD!" "Amen!" "You once were slaves, but Christ has set you free!" This continued for some twenty minutes.  Brother Mike wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel someone gave him. "Any SINNERS tonight who need DELIVERANCE? Come on down!" Bob and Taylor watched as a few people made their way to the front.  Brother Mike looked directly at Bob and Taylor. "There are more tonight for the  harvest of the LORD!" He looked at them again.  People in this section!" That was the front right.  And here!" That was the section they were in.  About twenty people around them responded and went up front. "We have a mighty harvest here tonight! Altar workers, come Fooorwaaard and minister to God's children."  Several older people, clutching Bibles and wearing vests that said ALTAR WORKER on the back, came forward. "Pray for mercy! Oh, sinners do you feel the mercy of God in the House of the Lord tonight!" He looked at Bob and Taylor, now sitting in a large area of otherwise empty seats.  Ahead of them and behind them and on the other side of the main aisle there were a lot more people.  "There are more sinners here tonight. I can feel it. Isn't the grace of God tugging on your heart?" "I like the grace of God tugging on my heart part, but no way am I going down there." "Agreed." After a while no one else came forward.  Brother Mike took one more last look at them and signaled for the Worship Team to come up and do a closing number. "Ready to leave?" "No, I'm not." "What are you waiting for, Taylor?" "I'm not sure.  We might have an interesting conversation." "Here?" "Yes." "I want to hear your definition of an interesting conversation sometime." They sat and watched as those up front diminished in number.  Other people slipped out.  Brother Mike looked at them several times, but he was mainly praying for people. The last worship number ended.  People were still up front praying. "Well that was fun," Taylor said in the Wrangler. "Strike that one off the list of churches to go to."  Someone was running up to them. "Wait a minute!  Y'all are first time visitors?" "Yes, we are."   The guy smiled.  "Here is a complimentary coffee cup for each of you.  Sorry we missed you earlier.  God bless.."  With that he was gone. They looked at the cups. Community Church, Millvale.  Have a Blessed Day. "Something to remember it by." "I don't think I will forget. I wonder what second time visitors get?" "I am so not interested. "   The next day her phone was exactly where she thought it would be.  Something would have to be done, but she was not sure what.  In the meantime her phone and purse would be in the drawer, and the drawer would be locked whenever she was away from her desk.
