mi name is gabriella vazquez im transgender who resides in u.s.a. i live in the city, og garden grove.
i would thought that mostly, who always attacks us and do us wrong might sometimes look like is the world outside, not the gay, transgender,lesbian comuninity right.
have we and the world gotten wrong. iam presently, being harrasde, accused falsely, gotten evicted hurt,and live in a constant harrasment by one of those evil doers trangender who has not only harrased me but mostly all of orange county t s girls .
she has become an informant to the garden grove police department, she gives em info. on what they wanna know, and they let her get away with all of her unjustices, we live in constant harrasment by the police of garden grove and by this evil transgender who chose to go against us for her own benefits, she is causing a lot of damage. she just recently sent about 8 men who tried and did attacked her because she disrespected em. she switched the scripts around and accuse em for assult and homosexual hate, all a lie . she is doing so much bad and hurting mentally and phisycally a lot of people including me . just last nite i got hit on my face by this transgender in front of a garden police officer and he did not do anything . i got beat up by her on his face and he did nothing . he let her go. this is why im screaming to the world out here i need help we need help in orange county california and we dont know who to go to. we know the garden drove police wont do nothing aginst this ,matter . it has been proved in front of mi eyes they wont do a thing. so if anyone out here can help me and my o.c. community we well greatly appreciate it. we live in america, yet we remain hostage to the evil people of this transgender world.
human resources was the first thing in my mind they have helped me before.
so i thought i wrote this here in case someone out here could help me , us or reffer us as to what we can do.
sicerely....gabriella vazquez.
