Transphobia:
Transphobia (or less commonly cissexism, transprejudice, and trans-misogyny, referring to transphobia directed toward trans women, or trans-misandry, (referring to transphobia directed toward trans men) is a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards transsexualism and transsexual or transgender people, based on the expression of their internal gender identity (see Phobia -- terms indicating prejudice or class discrimination). Whether intentional or not, transphobia can have severe consequences for the target of the negative attitude. Many trans people also experience homophobia from people who associate their gender identity with homosexuality.
Attacking someone on the basis of a perception of their gender identity rather the perception of their sexual orientation is known as "trans-bashing", as opposed to "gay bashing".

[gonnatapthat]

@foreverminix these ppl are from the midwest i on the otherhand am a hillbilly i live in eastern ky in a small town we have several gay ppl here andd they are treated just like everybody else.in fact it was hillbillies that turned the revolutionary war around.they were the first to fight gurella warfare with the british.so please don't call them hillbillies it insults us.

It was kinda sweet how Lotter wanted to be close to family regardless of the consequences. I can understand since most ppl can't bear to leave their home, but you gotta be stronger

[MusicPlaylistEmail]

The policemen are so funny and really hit the nail on the head about everything. It is interesting to know about the discrimination philosophy in the Midwest and other small towns. It is sad. They need God, 'cause that helped me and opened my mind. Lotter a d Nissen really are inhumane tho. They show no sign of remorse, only care about themselves and what they want, and look where if got them.

[Dakotaangel1]

God what a bunch of awful white trash people. I love Lana's mom 'he was married and seeing my sister Melissa, but he was a real nice boy"........Jeez.

02:33 Anyone with a gun Is a coward In the first place, weather it to be used on a Human or an Animal without guns themselves, you with the gun Law or not The Law You my friend . . are the Coward.

[khrystal1968]

Personally I feel that john and tom were jealous because Brandon was better looking! LOL!

[lilspark3000]

I'm confused. Why did John and Tom kill Brandon? Was it because he told authorities about the assault and rape or was it something else?

[dlc204]

Those US Marshals rock.

[jacksquadent1]

Its sad how some people are so spiteful and hateful. It was nobody business that she lived her life as a man, it was between Teena and the women she dated i don't see no emotion of the tragic death of her and the other two victims the sherrifs is unprofessional Lincoln, Nebraska law enforcement was on a scale 1-10, -100 just simply pathetic they let dumbasses be sherrifs and deputies... Only God can judge her not me not them not anybody.

[xForeverMinex]

let´s hope, that the son of lisa doesn´t turn out hill billie

[kayla17881]

GutLESS cowards is right. Makes me sick



[Fighter9876]

Every time I see John and Tom's face/body, I want to stab them thoroughly. I want to have someone big and disgusting rape them out in front of everyone. Make them feel embarrassed and feel the pain and humiliation that they made Brandon feel. They are worthless pieces of shit. They took those 3 people's lives, and they deserve to suffer 10 fold.

[yuribash]

RIP brandon..man you suffered a lot...i hope they both burn in hell john an tom....and fuck lana's mom defending tom like he's an angel sent from heaven..get an education woman and don't drink too much beer....

[PeytonMarieThompson]

You know, if people on this earth could be a bit more accepting, understanding, or at least tolerant of those who are diffrent, Brandon would never have lied about himself, he would have gotten his sex change, and he would still be alive with a happy ending!! Same goes for those who are going through what Brandon had to go through, and are possibly dead because of peoples ignorance.

[MYheroMJrip]

"i get mad and i burn myself with a cigarette" then why the hell did u murder three innocent people u ignorant bastard !! This town is so racist and homophobic. Including Lisa Lambert's father!! Sorry Brandon, Lisa and Phillip. you guys didn't deserve to be have life end this way.

[snowfish1121]

I thought I was from the most redneck place in America... until I watched this. Poor Brandon. Poor ANYONE who has to live among trash like this.
