Straight black people never called John Lewis a snitch, or Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Fidel Castro, or anyone who exposed the mistreatment of fellow human being. But when it comes to gay and transgender people in prison, silence gives consent to violence.

The police kill us, too. We caught COVID-19 just like everybody else and straight black people kill us, too. We get unjustfully and massively incarcerated with the rest of us. Wrong is wrong, in spite of the so-called codes that are morally selective by non-moral subculture groups inside of prisons. Wrong is still wrong. Black Trans Lives Matter TO ME.

Transgender people of all races have been beaten and killed in America, even as far back into the times when there was no common word to describe our family members.

I'm an open gay black man with zero connection to where we merge with black trans people because most idiots try to convince gay black boys growing up in "the hood" that to be gay is a choice, and transgender people are gays dressed in drag because they want to be a female.

Amplify that with being called abominations and having birth defects, pretty much adds to the mis-education of prisons filled with straight black men who have been exposed to the same ignorance.

In my natural self, black, handsome, masculine with no sexual interest in our transgender family members, yet, to this day, I find it hard to understand why more gay black homies don't engage that valuable transgender family to the degree where we openly engage each other in prison.

Allow me here to be more specific. I know it's rough for gay homies to get jumped and treated horribly in prison by fellow black inmates. Yes, spit, urine, feces, dirty condoms—the whole bit, and we do what we can to support each other. The issue here for me is when we see this exact something happening to our transgender family. We don't do more, we don't speak out—and it's kind of like they are devalued to us, as we are to straight inmates.

I heard a closeted homies say, "They (transpeople) get all of the special treatment as far as programs go in prison."

I'm going to tell all of you now what I told him, so to inspire resolve.

"What the hell? Everybody has the right not to be killed, man. Favored or disfavored, rich or poor, gay or transgendered, and they are just as black as we are, and we are just as black as our straight brother. I'm not going to be silent when I see our straight family abuse you, so why should we choose silence when we see them abuse our trans family?"

I want to end this message by saying, people create all sorts of superficial justifications as to why it's okay to abuse, bully, and kill transgender people but nobody has yet offered one justifiable reason why the rest of us just sit around and allow it to continue. There is a difference between snitching and exposing injustice, even when that injustice is at the hands of our own people.

I personally traced Tertullian, from North Africa,
and it looks like he started the spread of
what we know as Charity, caring for others,
Brotherly love, One body, Brothers & Sisters
& family terminology for all, yes, multiculturalism.

Tertullian was mentored by Ireneas, who became
a bishop, and Ireneas at 16 years old became
the pupil of Polycarp, who was killed in Smyrna
at the age of 86 by Lyons, and now can we
all take a wild guess who Polycarp's Mentor was?

Yes, Polycarp was the pupil on non other than John
as in the writer of The Book of John, and The
Book of Revelations, and the one who described
himself as The Disciple that Jesus loved.

I plan to repeat the above as much as possible
in this work.

Eunuch

Tonight it is with great honor, that
I engage my own, with this question.

Was The Book of John and The Book
of Revelations in the Bible, written
by the same sex lover of Jesus of Nazareth?

I'll invite your attention to The Book of Matthew,
Chapter 19: Verse 12.

The backstory here is Jesus is answering a
question about divorce, when he says:

"For there are Eunuchs, who were born so
from their mother's womb; and there are
eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there
are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs
for the Kingdom of heaven. He that can accept
it, let him accept it."

It appears so far, that Jesus understood that
some people just can't accept it as an inverse,
but I'm so glad today, to tell you, that I
accept Myself, and I accept you.

Now, for clarity let me require that You study for
yourself, the word Eunuch; You can Wikipedia
word for some research, but for now, allow me
to offer you this brief crash

The etymology and origins of the word eunuch
is from the Greek word eune ("bed") and
ekhein ("to keep"), effectively "bed keeper".

1 of 3

We often view the definition of "a castrated Man",
and also "castrated women" for an ugly history
within both ancient, and modern society, and
yet you will be able to explore this area
during your search, but also be aware that
you'll also find amazing details as well.

We know that Jesus was not a christian, but
of THE Way, and we understand THE Way, and
its origins cultivating in ancient India, and
all over the world that Jesus knew, especially
through his educational accessibility to more
information than most children, and when we
factor in, being the Only begotten Son of
the MOST High God, it would be safe to
speculate that Jesus used the word eunuch
with confidence.

The Ancient Indian Kama Sutra refers to people of a
"third sex" (triteeyaprakrti), who can be dressed
either in men's, or in women's clothes and
perform fellatio on men, This term has been
translated as "eunuchs".

An educated Jesus would have had access to the
knowledge of existing eunuchs in his times, and
also of famous eunuchs that date back to the
5th Century B.C., from Persia and all over the
world, including The African Continent.

2 of 3

I lay this foundation for our message here
because Most of what we are taught in
Church today came from early Christian
theologians like Origen, who said that
he castrated himself, based on his reading
of Matthew 19:12.

Tertullian, our great Christian theologian wrote
that Jesus was a eunuch, and that
THE Skoptsy believed that it was true, and
Tertullian also wrote that he knew, personally,
The writer of The Book of Matthew, and that
he was a eunuch.

The writer of The Book of Matthew was also
a tax collector named Levi, the Son of
Alphaeus, Levi is known all over the word
as Matthew, an apostle and evangelist.

Dear Jennifer,
thank you for your reply! I can imagine that it is really difficult to stay out of trouble as a trans woman in a men's prison. Thank you for all the shared knowledge. So considering LWOP in Europe, that's only the Netherlands. And I am quite sure, in many countries forensic serves as a way to have LWOP.
To my knowledge, the Death Penalty can only be abolished by a vote of the Californian population, isn't that right?
All the best, have a good day
Julia

My sweetheart.
I wonder where the lost notes go - when I fill the little box with words and then my finger slips and the words to you are gone...if you ever get incomplete notes from me, that’s why - lol. I was just finishing what I had to say and the whole thing vanished - sigh - will also explain duplication - if I say things now and you also get another note that’s much the same - it’s not because I’ve gone suddenly insane - it’s because I’ve lost the first note!
Maybe I should write earlier in the day - it’s after 2 AM now - not sure why I’m not sleeping - I sure should be!
My best birthday present was hearing your voice - well, what little talking you were able to get in - lol - I just wanted to run off at the mouth - words just poured out. Oddly, when I daydream about being with you, I don’t talk much - I like to listen - or lie in the circle of your arms just quietly - contentedly.
Off to sleep now - I know they try to print and mail on Mondays so I don’t want to leave this and finish tomorrow - I’m finishing now so it’ll be ready...
I love you - with everything I am. I like to think it’d be the same if we were normal, but we’ll never know - because we’ve never been normal! (Btw - I’d like to see you riding that bike backwards nowadays - or even riding it forward!)
All my love - always and all ways
I am forever
Your Jeannie

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.

This is the first post I have read and transcribed and was very impressed by your voice and story. It is such a shame to here what is happening to model prisoners such as yourself, especially during the dangerous times of a pandemic. Please be safe and know that there is someone who is listening and pulling for you. I will try to help this situation in any way I can. Keep writing, and I hope to transcribe more of your posts in the future.
