(CNSNews.com) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says HIV infection rates are high among transgender women in the United States, and particularly high among black transgender women, compared to other groups.

On its website page “HIV Among Transgender People,” the CDC cites a systematic review of various studies which showed that 28% of all transgender women had HIV. (A transgender woman is a biological male who identifies as a female.)

Also, “56% of black/African American transgender women had positive HIV test results compared to 17% of white or 16% of Hispanic/Latina transgender women,” said the CDC. Black transgender women "are more likely to have HIV than transgender women of other races/ethnicities," said the health agency.

“Well, I wonder why that could possibly be so?//’

“The CDC website also states, “Some transgender people who experience poverty rely on sex work to meet their basic survival needs.””

Answer in a nutshell. They can’t get jobs because people won’t hire freaks so they work as prostitutes.

One of the first times I had ever heard of Transgender people, was in 1982, when soul singer Teddy Pendergrass had a terrible car accident. Teddy lost control of his Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, and hit two trees. Teddy was found with Tenika Watson, a transexual nightclub performer.

Pendergrass was left a paraplegic, paralyzed from the waist down.
People were talking about it, but that was long before the internet. After a few months, he was pretty much left in the past. The media had nothing to gain by going public with all the information.

Around here, most “transgenders” are mentally ill people who work as late-night prostitutes in a sleazier part of the city.

“Time to bring the HIV virus into court for discrimination.”

It does discriminate. It goes after T-cells, which are found in great concentrations around the filthiest part of the body. Since anal intercourse invariably produces some amount of bleeding, it is the most efficient means of transmission.

Heterosexual activity between two healthy people is much less likely to result in infection.

But what if they identify as healthy?

Then it's ok. "Healthy" and "sick" are just social constructs, as is AIDS. We are obliged to accept their self-identification.

The same will soon go for relationships. If a transgender woman announces that she is gay and is your 15 year old daughter's girlfriend, it will be a hatecrime for your daughter to fail to behave accordingly.

Do I really need the \sarc tag here? It wouldn't be any crazier than what bureaucrats and judges are already imposing.

“”CDC: High Rate of HIV Among Transgender Women Gay Men
Fixed it.””

That certainly did fix it. Gay men who PRETEND they are women and someone is surprised at the high rate of HIV among the freaks? They are going to compile stats that they think people are going to believe? Give me a break! Well, not so fast there - of course, they will be believed by the very people pushing the agenda!

When is the day coming when we don’t have the occasion to say “Now I’ve heard everything?” Please come soon!!!

I did not know that about Teddy Pendergrass. I liked much of his music and wondered why it suddenly stopped.

Now I know, and another person I admired for talent is relegated to the “Aw, Crud” file.

How do they know it isn’t that there’s a high rate of trans gender women among those infected with HIV?
