An Alabama preacher and politician killed himself Friday two days after being outed for having a secret life he shared online as a “transgender curvy girl.”

    This is what happens when people are forced to repress themselves in order to fit in with what society says is acceptable.

    What they want becomes bad but they still fantasize about it. So the fantasy’s become twisted and perverse. If this person was allowed to be who they wanted to be they may not have gone down such a dark path. It really just makes me sad to see things like this.

      I completely agree, this is partially why I think “banning” trans people is just shooting everyone in the foot.

      Orrrr maybe he’s just a sick pervert. I don’t think having fantasies about murdering and replacing woman is normal.

        That isn’t normal. But being raised in the south where you are expected to be the gender you were born with, and then having to suppress your true feelings, leads to associating those feelings with “sick pervert” actions.

          I’m not so sure about that. No amount of repressed sexuality makes you write murder fantasies about real local women.
