A transgender youth leader was charged with murder Monday in the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend in Walnut Creek, a prosecutor said.

Akira Tajah Jackson, 24, of Oakland was also charged with an enhancement for using a large kitchen knife to kill 56-year-old Alan Gray in his home on Santa Rita Drive at about 9:20 a.m. Thursday.

Born David Gavin, Jackson has been living as a woman for five years and met Gray about a year and a half ago while she was dancing at Diva's nightclub in San Francisco, said Contra Costa County prosecutor Barry Grove.

This is a many faceted story but it does go a long way to explain how Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer won elections in California.

I was confused by

T-LISH, Transgender Ladies Initiating Sisterhood, at the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center in San Francisco.

the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center

And why would you need to get well from being an Asian and Pacific Islander? (Does it involve hockey at all?)

If only they had been married!

What a lovely couple they must have made. /s

First off, there is no such thing as “transgender”. People do not change from one sex to another no matter how they get themselves mutilated.

It was like a train wreck ... we knew it was coming, but there would be nothing we could do to stop it ...

The victim got to see the other more masculine side of his tranny girlfriend. It broke his nose and stuck him with a butcher knife. His feminine lover turned into a crazed dude.

This is a many faceted story but it does go a long way to explain how Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer won elections in California. You are right! It does explain it.

They can throw in the words she, her, boyfriend, etc. but they just don’t have the accepted, and expected meaning. Add in the “youth” leader was 24 and the “boyfriend” was 56 and it is more than a bit confusing.

“First off, there is no such thing as “transgender”. People do not change from one sex to another no matter how they get themselves mutilated.”
Agreed, but most of these freaks never get around to the mutilation, they’re “chicks with dicks”.....

[Frank_2001]

That’s a MAN, baby!

” it is more than a bit confusing.”

It’s not confusion; it’s PERVERSION.......
