ezs note: Please believe me, I know how urgently you want to look like a woman, but don't give in to these frauds. They'll take your money and likely KILL you!!! Talk to your counselor about which legal alternatives exist.

How NOT to get scammed
Last night, I decided to check my e-mail before I left. A friend of mine, Ray, was in a bit of trouble due to his use of a computer. About six months before, Dave was in similar circumstances. The dreaded worm had caught them both.
I decided to let you on a few tips on how not to get scammed. First, major donor organizations. Here goes:
1. A good rule of thumb is their use of the word .org as a suffix. (example: www.redcross.org) The use of other suffixes (.biz, .com...) are generally suspect. (note: major political organizations are different. Check with your local organization to see if their address is genuine.)
2. In conversation words can be used with a little laxity. But NEVER with URLs. Some will try and dupe us with .usaredcross. or .americanredcross., to name a few. Only .redcross. is genuine. Here are the four that I would recommend:
www.redcross.org (United States)
www.ifrc.org (International)
www.doctorswithoutborders.org
www.rainbowfund.org
If you are thinking about making a donation, please print or write your URL now. This will save headaches later.
3. This is more of a techie thing, but make certain that you type www.ifrc.com. Otherwise you could type the wrong thing.
4. If you wish to donate outside the four that are listed, (Goodwill, Salvation Army, UNICEF, Save the Children, etc.) most of them have particular brands that they display in the telephone book or in the web. This is a generally good sign. It doesn't have to be a huge brand. It does have to be accurate.
5. Any cheap photocopying is generally NOT a good sign.
Now about donations. I will tell you what I WON'T do. I won't make e-mails. I won't make "personal appeals". I won't put appeals in a separate blog. The ONLY genuine blog for this area is emilysvirtualrocket.blogspot.com. The ONLY space I approve of is the "donate" button on the right side. The ONLY bank I approve of for these is PayPal. (not an endorsement, but simply wanting you to know where I stand)
Sorry I was so lengthy, but I hope it helps.

Santa Ana transgenders speak out on police treatment (voiceofoc)
(more above)
ezs note: There are a few police persons who treat victims rudely, unfortunately. In this case, complain to the chief of police, or failing this, to a newspaper/newsblog. The police will get all antsy over this, but, well, good. Maybe they'll start doing their job for a change.

What you can (and should) do if the worst happens
This is something that no one wishes to talk about. But we must face the facts. We must be brave. Beatings or sexual assault take place daily. Here is what we can do:
1. If you are a witness, call the police immediately.
2. If you are a victim, go to the police as soon as humanly possible. If you are in the hospital, tell them you want to see an officer. Do not wash your clothing or bodily parts. These may be evidence. Above all, do not delay. I know this is tough, but you can stop this vermin.
3. If you are a friend, urge, urge, URGE them to go to the police and provide them with valuable evidence.
