Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring. Much respect to Karen Scot!

Crazy Arizona strikes again.

Just weeks after Monica Jones was seen in mainstream media protesting the failed religious discriminatory law in Phoenix, she was offered a ride while walking near her house. The driver turned out to be an undercover police officer who then arrested her for "manifestation of prostitution."

This law 23-52 Prostitution, soliciting an act of prostitution and related offenses, is an overbroad statute which enables officers to arrest woman for no other reason than asking if they are police. The law is used to feed people to Project Rose as the city conducts massive drag nets hauling in dozens of individuals at a time. This profiling of woman by police is contested by the Arizona ACLU which notes that "The difference between 'innocent' and 'criminal' behavior often comes down to how a person looks."

A 2011 study in NYC found that 59% of transgender respondents said that they had been stopped by police. So over half of our sisters in NYC had they lived in Phoenix would have faced the prospect of Project Rose.

Ms Jones was brought handcuffed, without being charged by police, to a church basement. It was then established that she hadn’t been previously charged with similar "crimes." She was told if she enrolled in Project Rose and successfully completed she would have no arrest record.

Project Rose is the work of the Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) which has been dictating their ideology to the legislature effectively forcing their religion, through the police, on the general population.
...
The Capstone of Project Rose is religious programming. It requires a person, based on how they look, to find their god [for] assistance in changing jobs and housing, even if they don't need or want this "help."

We often overlook our friends who were born female and transitioned to male. These men should be admired for their courage and in many cases for their impressive physical development. As a former college football player who still works out several times a week, I think the physiques of Buck Angel and Loren Cameron are awesome.

I think it has bigger implications than just the entertainment angle.
