A transgender woman is alleging discrimination against a state trooper who called her “buddy” and “guy” and arrested her after she was caught speeding, flipped off the trooper, then stepped into traffic on Interstate 495.
Clairese Renee Morgan of Malden has filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and wants troopers to go through mandatory training in transgender issues, according to Bay Windows newspaper.
Morgan was traveling between 95 and 100 mph on Interstate 495 north when a trooper from the Andover State Police Barracks pulled her over April 28. Morgan told the paper the trooper repeatedly referred to her as “buddy” and “guy” though she asked him not to. She said the trooper’s rude behavior continued after he wrote a ticket, which he tossed in her car’s window, then walked away.
Morgan got out of her car, flipped off the trooper, then walked on to the highway to flag down passing cars in the hopes of getting a witness to the exchange. At that point, the trooper got out of the car and she was arrested for allegedly disturbing the peace.
If I tried that today I would probably get fired and sued.
"Ever since I moved up North, people have been calling me and my friends, "you guys" or "yous guys", instead of the gender neutral, ya'll. Should I be offended?"
Did you hear the one about the guy from Joisy who was visiting Georgia? He told a native "I'm getting tired of heahing 'ya'll' this and 'ya'll' that. Why can't youse guys loin to speak the propah English?
No you cant be offended since you're up North where some speak like that. Hearing it down here, yeah that gets on my last nerve. Then again, go ahead and be offended if you want. That seems to be the "in" thing nowadays. -:)
If you're down South and tired of hearing ya'll I refer you to a favorite columnist of mine the late Lewis Grizzard whose standard response was "Delta is ready when you are" LOL
"Plus he's dead."
No, he's very much alive and still touring. Just released a new CD as a matter of fact!
Hey, DIXIE. How ya'll doin? With a daughter in Atlanta, one son in Norfolk VA and another son in the Ozarks, I ain't tired of hearing ya'll at all. :-)
D'oh! You're right. Apologies to all, and to Mr. Guy in particular :)

I am confused - I thought one suffering from the transgender disorder (not to be confused with a gender questioning or gender confused disorder) was one who feels and or has chosen to be "gendered" opposite from the reality of the sexual plumbing they were endowed with...
Since this disorder, like the homosexual disorder, is not an innate characteristic and only evident IF self-declared -- HOW could the cop discriminate against something he could not be aware of UNLESS told him...
Chalk it up to leftist delusion... The left conflates feelings for realities and conflates chosen disordered activities with innate unchosen human characteristics...
Funny.
Good Lord, from your posts, its so clear, HE was the one acting like an idiot. Put other people (drivers) at risk by driving at that speed, then again by walking out onto the highway to flag down another motorists. The officer could very well have saved HIS sorry life.
;-)
Yes, sadly and very unfortunately. Here in MA, what reads like parody, is fact.
You seem to be intimating that you are from the South...Every good southerner knows that the plural of "y'all" is..."All y'all"...
"A transgender rejects the gender that society has assigned..."
They also reject: Sun rising in the east, 1 + 1 = 2, and in this case, apparently, legal speed limits.
Unfortunately for them, society doesn't assign "gender roles" (although some try in varying degrees to perversely re-assign them). Nature (and nature's God) take care of gender at the level of the chromosome.
