“On February 12, 2016, Jaya’s son Marquez was visiting a friend when they were brutally attacked and doused with a pot of boiling hot water while they lay sleeping.  

Their attacker has been charged with Aggrevated Battery. You see, Marquez and his friend were attacked simply because of who they love. Marquez suffered severe burns to his face, neck, arms, and back that required skin graft surgeory. I cannot mention the name of his friend to protect the privacy of his family. But I will tell you his burns were so extreme that he is still in an induced coma in intensive care.

Their attacker is the boyfriend of Marquez’s friend’s mother. He didn’t fore warn them and there was no altercation before the incident. They had no idea of the hatred he held in his heart. It was a ruthless attack that no one deserves. After they were burned, their attacker forced them out of the home, showing no remorse. They had to go door to door searching for help. The first doors they knocked on, the tenants would not help them.  

The family needs immediate help with medical bills, and the everyday expenses of recovery such as prescription drugs and dressings for the burns.  I and the family will be so grateful for any donation your heart compels you to give.  

All donated funds will be used for medical bills, prescriptions, supplies, and everyday expenses such as rent and utilities.  Marquez assisted his mother with home expenses. He had just started a new job, so he doesn’t have work benefits.”

Back in 2012, Georgia resident Roddy Jacobson, enrolled at Mount Holyoke, a prestigious all-women’s college in South Hadley, Massachusetts.  While there, Jacobson, who was assigned female at birth, thought about transitioning to a male identity.

“I think I was dealing with interpersonal issues, and some of them were in relation to being at this ‘all-women’s environment’ and not feeling any connection to that identity beyond biological parts,” Jacobson says, later specifying the feelings as disillusionment. “My sophomore year I was approached by a few trans guys on campus and they invited me to some events. I got into the small trans circles on campus. I opened my mind up about my gender [identity] through that.”
