Marhakh - the killer in most of transgenders murder cases - The Nation

peshawar    -   Body of a transgender person lied in a pool of blood at a hospital in Peshawar, with no family member around the body since many such people flee their homes when they cannot find space there due to their gender.

Mano, who belonged to Malakand district, had been living in Peshawar with her community. She was shot dead and later buried in Peshawar, as the relatives did not take the body to their village. Her only mourners with her body were her trans community members.

Mano was reportedly killed by a Marhakh, a term meaning a boyfriend in the community, in Peshawar the other day.

A transgender person, Farzana, said that she fled her home in young age because she could not adjust with her family members.

"When there used to be some ceremony, my family would not take me there because they thought my behaviour was abnormal being a shemale. I could not socialise there. This is why I fled home and later took refuse with a guru," she said.

She said that a guru is an elder who takes care of transgender persons living with him. And in such kind of life, many transgender often become victims of bullets and murders.

Marhakh is mostly involved in the murder cases of transgender persons, according to those privy to the community.

Marhakh can be of two kinds: either he is rich and spends money on a trans person or he can be a poor person depending on the income that a transgender earns through music and dance programmes.

In most cases of murder, a Marhakh has killed a transgender when he sees that she has developed relations with another person, even after he (the killer) had spent money on her needs like makeup, food and others. The killer thinks he is doing the murder "for honour".

In other case when a Marhakh who consumes money from the income of a transgender person can also turn into a killer when he stops receiving money from her.

A female rights activist, wishing anonymity, told The Nation that most of the murder cases occur due to the attitude problem and sour relations between the transgenders and their boyfriends.

"Transgender community have their own language. When they speak, you may not understand their language. And this particular language is transferred orally; there is no book on the trans' language," she added.

She further said that even in the times of the kings, there were trans persons who had the same language they use today. "They use the term 'Marhakh' for boyfriend not just in Pashto but in other languages too. They call Rs100 note a 'Katka', for example," she elaborated.

Recently several transgender persons were shot in Mansehra, Peshawar and other districts and the boyfriends were involved in most of the cases.

Sixers Say Doc Rivers’ Twitter Account Was Hacked - Crossing Broad

Robert Sarver might not have had the worst NBA Friday night. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just search "Doc Rivers" on Twitter and you'll find out quickly.

Saturday morning the Sixers said Doc was hacked and they recovered his account to "undo the likes" –

I'm told Doc Rivers' Twitter account was hacked and the Sixers were able to undo the likes and they are getting his account back to full working order

Doc was informed by a friend about the bizarre activity on his account and it is being taken care of by the team pic.twitter.com/Srwg0EN2Wv

With how much Doc Rivers likes transition, you'd think the Sixers would've been better at it last year. It's shocking that Doc's (ALLEGED) porn fetish isn't "gang bang," since he likes blowing 3 to 1.

Could you imagine being the Sixers PR person who got the weekend call about Doc Rivers liking shemale porn on Twitter? Where does that call rank in Sixers lore? Top 5? Top 10? I imagine the Bryan Colangelo call would be #1. Then Markelle Fultz forgetting how to shoot, Jahlil Okafor beating the shit out of some Celtics fans, kicking Ben Simmons out of practice, and Andrew Bynum injuring his knee bowling round out the top 5 for me. All that happened in the last 10 years. If the Sixers PR staff isn't the highest paid in the NBA, they should be.

At least it gave us a funny night on Twitter:

Doc Rivers forgot to switch to his burner 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/d6EiPDmaZY

Lucky for Doc Rivers that he's employed by the Sixers and this is not even close to the most embarrassing thing that's happened to the franchise in the last decade.

Zimbabwe: Transgender woman maligned, charged - Montreal Gazette

Sigh . . . It seems every day there is an article coming out of some African nation that illustrates just how far behind the times its citizens are (i.e. Exhibit A: see preceding post about stoning in Nigeria).

Exhibit B: A report out of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe on the Nehanda Radio site with the following headline: "Gay shemale causes stir in court."

It's what caught my eye on google. I figured some porn star — because the term "shemale" is a porn industry term — had put on a lascivious display in the courtroom. The individual turned out to be a trans woman who was the victim of a citizen's arrest because she had used — or attempted to use — the women's washroom in a hotel.

Article content

The term "shemale" when applied to transgender people is dehumanizing and derogatory. (For more information on transgender terminology and words to avoid, see GLAAD's Media reference guide.)

As for the trans person causing a stir, as written in the headline by an editor, it was actually the opposite: the locals caused the stir by gaping at her like she had just just dropped in from another planet. (Maybe the editor was having a bad day.)

Apparently, trans women are rare sights in that corner of the world; many officials from various departments crowded into the courthouse just to see her. Like, this was big for them, and perhaps even bigger for local vendors outside the building . . . One man is quoted as saying: "We've always heard that there are gay people, but I didn't think a man can transform himself into a woman like this."

The writer (and editor) of the article is unclear on trans etiquette and misgenders Ricky Nathanson throughout the story.

And so it goes . . . Zimbabwe bursts upon the global village scene thanks to the wonders of the Internet. We'll follow Ricky's case — she returns to court next month to face criminal nuisance charges . . .

But it all makes me wonder: if the writer (and editor) of the article and others in that country use the Internet, how can they be so far behind the times? And when they do click on to the Internet, what are they reading — and viewing — that would make them use terms like "shemale" to describe a simple trans woman who just wants to live her life in peace and use the washroom facilities that match her gender identity and presentation?

These Words That Women Know Better Than Men And Vice Versa Will Make You Question Your Grasp Of The English Language - TechDigg

See how many words you know from each list, and then check your knowledge against my super accurate and definitely not made-up definitions.

Remember when you had to learn a bunch of new, complicated-sounding vocabulary words in high school for the SATs — stuff like abysmal, demur, postulate? Most of the words you learned then probably feel commonplace now, but there was that moment in time when these words made you feel like the English language was vast and unknowable.

If you want to revisit that feeling, good news: a table of words from a study has been going around on Twitter that contains a list of words that men are typically more familiar with than women, and another list of words that women typically know better than men.

Jurij Fedorov tweeted out the study from the July 2018 edition of the journal Behavior Research Methods, which analyzed 61,858 English words.

Personally, I felt very attacked to scan the list of, uh, "women's words" and find that I knew every single one, and to realize that I only knew a handful of those on the "male" side of the table.

There's something to be said here about how we gender certain language by raising and educating men and women differently, and about the kinds of knowledge that are normalized for different genders, blah blah blah — but that's probably not important or relevant, nor (probably) is the fact that all the words mainly familiar to women have to do with fashion, and the male words are largely scientific terms, words related to war or violence, and one (1) slur.

Anyway, as a proud English major in my undergraduate days, I will not take my own ignorance sitting down. Below, I will offer accurate explanations of the words that women tend to know better, and my best guess at the definitions of the words that men tend to know better. Hope this helps.

Words — For Women!

Tulle: The stuff ballerinas' tutus are made of

Chignon: The way ballerinas stereotypically wear their hair (i.e. a bun)

Espadrille: Shoes whose heel is made of braided dried grass for some reason

Damask: A woven fabric whose pattern can today probably only be found on tablecloths

Jacquard: Patterned fabric created by a Jacquard loom (do not ask me what that is)

Whipstitch: It's a sewing thing

Boucle: A kind of "curled" or "looped" yarn that creates a texture I neither will nor can describe

Taffeta: Like silk, but not

Sateen: Like satin, but not

Chambray: A cotton fabric that's usually light-blue in color, though it's unclear why it can't be other colors

Pessary: A device employed to treat pelvic organ prolapse, but also possibly some sort of fabric

Voile: A delicate, semi-transparent fabric — like tulle, but not

Words — For Men!

Howitzer: A kind of musical instrument

Thermistor: A preparation for lobster

Azimuth: Definitely a place

Aileron: An adjustable flap on the wing of a plane (OK, this one I know)

Degauss: That guy who painted ballerinas a bunch

Boson: A guy with some job on a ship who usually has one or two lines in each of Shakespeare's plays

Checksum: When you're trying to split a bill between a bunch of people after dinner

Gauss: Like degauss, but not

Katana: A sword for nerds

Shemale: I'm begging men not to use this word

Neodymium: An indie-electro band

New trans-friendly dating app sparks controversy - New York Post

Transdr, a new dating app for people who identify as transgender, launched in the UK in March.

The free app has a similar format to Tinder: Users who swipe right on each other — meaning there's mutual interest — can chat and set up dates.

But unlike Tinder, which is known as an outlet for casual dating, Transdr's co-founder Sean Kennedy told the Huffington Post that it's "a new place for trans people who are looking for serious relationships."

The app's description on Apple's landing page, which includes words like "shemale" and "tranny," has caused some controversy online.

"It fetishizes us," one Twitter user writes.

A Transdr rep told the Huffington Post that those words were meant to improve their presence on search engines, adding, "We didn't mean to offend people who care about this."

Transdr isn't the first dating app to cater to trans singles. Tinder offers 37 gender identity options for users.

"Life has been so hard for trans people because they have to overcome the social stigma of being transgender," Kennedy says. "When it comes to dating, it's even harder for them . . . They need a comfortable place to meet and date with other trans people without judgment."

Gov. DeSantis appoints Renatha Francis to Supreme Court, for second time - Florida Politics

The Palm Beach County Judge was just shy of meeting the Supreme Court bench requirements last time.

As expected, Gov. Ron DeSantis made a second try at appointing Judge Renatha Francis to the state Supreme Court Friday, making her the second Black woman to serve on the state's highest court.

She will replace Florida Supreme Court Justice Alan Lawson, who is stepping down in August after 20 years. It makes the current Supreme Court a majority of DeSantis-appointed Justices.

Francis, a Jamaican-born immigrant, was the Governor's first choice for a vacancy on the court in 2020, but the Florida Supreme Court ruled she was four months shy of having 10 years' membership in the Florida Bar, which is a constitutional requirement for sitting on the state Supreme Court.

"I think she'll be a source of inspiration for a lot of folks out there who are younger, who are studying hard," DeSantis said, dismissing the previous rejection of her nomination as "disputable and a disputed point of law."

Francis choked up with emotion as she introduced her mother, who had not completed high school as she came from a small family farm in Jamaica.

"What my mom lacked in financial resources she made up for in grit, determination, faith and hard work," Francis said. "As a student of history, growing up I was and I remain in awe of the United States Constitution, its freedoms, its respect for the law."

Her appointment received applause from the Florida Justice Reform Institute, which has the mission to fight wasteful civil litigation. William Large, Institute president, called DeSantis' pick "thoughtful and decisive leadership."

The announcement was held in the Richard & Pat Johnson Palm Beach History Museum and Large noted the historic nature of Francis' appointment.

"Justice Francis is also only the second African-American woman appointed to the Florida Supreme Court, and we further applaud Gov. DeSantis for his continuing commitment to a Court that can draw on a rich diversity of life experience," Large said.

Peggy Quince became the first Black woman to sit on the Court when she was appointed Dec. 8, 1998.

Francis' original nomination came when DeSantis sought to replace a pair of Justices leaving the Court, Barbara Lagoa and Robert Luck. 

After a court battle spurred by state Rep. Geraldine Thompson, a Windermere Democrat, the Florida Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Francis didn't meet the constitutional requirements at the time to take a place on the bench.

DeSantis said he considered a fresh slate of candidates when Lawson's seat came open, but ultimately landed back on Francis.

"We ran all the nominees through a very good process," DeSantis said. "We were happy to try to appoint Judge Francis two years ago. … But then seeing how she's progressed since then, she's done even better. … She understands what the proper role of a judge is in America's constitutional system."

Francis was a small business owner in her native country of Jamaica, where she ran two successful enterprises while being the primary caregiver for her younger siblings, according to a news release from the Governor's Office.

"Her pursuit of a legal career began later in life than most attorneys, yet she has advanced rapidly on her merit to serve as a judge first in Miami-Dade County and then on the 15th Circuit Court," DeSantis said. "When she takes her place on the Florida Supreme Court, I am confident she will serve our state with distinction."
