Transsexual Sisters Chapter 4

Liberty and freedom and pursuit of happiness for all mankind. These basic core values our under challenges that will make or break the unity that is USC. A culture of hate is palpable and disturbing. In my homeland hate brought on genocide. .I urge you who hate to please and take a moment to look inward. If you do not like what you see., there is hope. Seek counseling to better your life and those around you. I urge with all my heart that all of you fill your life with love. Love fills your soul. Hate destroys your soul.

"Many of you probably know the specifics of the issues we face. For those of you who do not, I am talking about my roommates Michelle and Nicole. These beautiful, caring, sensitive, loving women are under a senseless brutal attack because they happen to be different.
