Kayden Clarke 24 year old transgender male was shot to death by Mesa Arizona Police. Stating.
"She came at us with a knife and something else we couldn't see."
Kayden had become famous on the Internet, after posting several videos to You Tube regarding transitioning and his struggle with mental illness.
Kayden had a dog that helped him prevent self harm by using its paws to help bring him back to a better place emotionally. Kayden had Asperger disease.
Web MD gives the definition for this disease as: Asperger's syndrome, also called Asperger's disorder, is a type of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). PDDs are a group of conditions that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination. There is a spectrum within the PDD disorders.
Two transsexual persons have been shot to death this year, needlessly by police. No matter what Americans might think of each other. When a police officer kills it had better be necessary.
Kayden had a disease that was mostly about developmental issues, not violence.
Transgender persons often have to sit through countless hours, even years of therapy to begin the physical transition into the opposite sex. Obtaining the permission of Doctors, psychiatrists and counselors in order to change gender.
There are some who believe transgender people are freaks, and should not exist. Others who believe mutilation of the body is a sin. That people should get therapy to confront their failed sexual identities.
Regardless of our personal views. Parents have lost a child from police discharging a firearm.
Kayden will be missed by many. Our hearts go to his family and friends tonight. May his short time on this planet not be forgotten. His courage under the pressures of a society that will blink and forget this ever happened. A society that tells itself so many lies about acceptance and tolerance.
Kayden may your spirit rest in peace.
