    1. “Gender fraud” — when people misrepresent their birth gender to potential sexual mates — likewise remains a gray area. Sean O’Neill was convicted of gender fraud in Colorado in 1996, and five people have been convicted in the United Kingdom since 2012.

      I have mix feelings on this charge ,i understand it is considered fraud for promoting a gender you wasn't originally born with but I can image it being hard to express to someone that you weren't born the gender you are now .

Most people think all types of agreement are consent,” said Ms. Short, who has written three books and done a TedX Talk on the subject. “They’re not.” While Ms. Short does not equate trickery to obtain sex with violent rape, she does believe it should be a Class D or E felony, with jail sentences of one to four years and a fine of $10,000.

      I agree although its not like the formally form of rape .Offenders should still be given jail sentences and a fine of 10,000 or more .

    3. Ms. Finney thought so and went to the police, who arrested Donald Grant Ward, the 19-year-old impostor. Mr. Ward, a friend of her boyfriend’s, admitted that he knew he was tricking Ms. Finney; he was charged with two counts of rape, which carries a sentence of three to 16 years

      Wow this is crazy i never knew people do this .He deserves to get the charges with two counts of rape .I wonder if this is common and people just aren't reporting it ?

    1. t’s time to include male survivors’ voices,” he said. “We are up against a system that’s not designed to help us.”

      This is slavery in another form, it's so sad how we as people conquer a problem years ago and face a bigger problem later on in life.

    2. But after The Huffington Post discovered Andrew’s assailant had previously been found responsible for assaulting two other students and had not been expelled, Andrew was devastated.

      why wasn't this boy brought on charges ,this is sad that it took 3 people to get assaulted for them to expel him.

    3. It was Andrew’s sixth night of freshman year at Brown University when he was assaulted by a male student in his dorm bathroom. When Andrew brought on-campus charges, his assailant was expelled.

      wow this is crazy ! I can believe a student had to experiences this and the 6 night of your freshmen year ?

    1. Not every dog killing means an officer acted wrongly or maliciously, and officers may be justified in using force against a dog. Many of the shootings occur when police attempt to control dogs that are reported to be dangerous or to have attacked someone. Making sudden movements can cause officers to reflexively reach for a weapon, and dogs greeting strangers are just about the most erratic and sudden movers of all.

      Understandable. In this scenario the dog did nothing but natural bounce to greet the officer.The dog was not stooped aggressively nor did he bark which are clear signs if a dog was to attack.

    2. Dutchess’s owners are still grieving the loss of their dog, who used to sleep in bed with their 8-year-old son, and are stunned by the turn of events. “All she would have done was put some slobber on his shoes,” says Gillian Palacios.

      When police officers make mistakes like this was it the punishment?

    3. she naturally bounded out to greet him. In a moment captured by disturbing surveillance footage, as Dutchess came toward the officer, he instinctively fired three gunshots into her head

      This form of cruelty should not be allowed in the police form .unless the dog is showing physical signs of aggression police officers should not be allowed to shot a dog dead. He also didn't try to shot him to stop even if he was charging at him. He shot him in the head 3 times to ensure he would die afterwards.
