I was checking through emails today and, someone sent me a link of someone I happen to know getting slaughtered by the Sun. The Article used all the wrong pronouns, and is very insentive. I have known Jessica 3 years, and she has taken a lot of time to prepare for this. I will be writing to the Sun regarding this matter, and discussing how horrible the article is.

Something else that really turns my stomach is the comments, of which some border on hatred. Typical of the Neanderthal Sun readership, and typical of the wite van man culture. The comments of considerable diatripe are below

Hope that wig is flame proof!

I do not know why these trolls are allowed to continue their commenting, as they only seem to want to insult people. The Sun seem to have an agenda of hate, and they have plenty of previous (who can forget the sick Nadia puns).

Sun its time you stopped being the lowest common denominator, and started being a proper newpaper.

As we speak shes still under arrest, and it is still unclear whether she will be.

This weekend Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates will see the closest championship finish in history. For the first time four drivers have made it to the final race decider.

The title contenders records at Abu Dhabi (Remember this is only the second race)

Fernando Alonso 14th
Mark Webber 2nd
Sebastian Vettel 1st
Lewis Hamilton Ret

If it were to finish that way this is how the table would look.

1 Sebastian Vettel 256
2 Mark Webber 256
3 Fernando Alonso 246
4 Lewis Hamilton 222

Note: Sebastian Vettel would be champion due to race wins (Vettel would win his 5th race, Mark Webber has 4).

Fernando Alonso has only failed to finish one race this season, is he due a retirement.

Sebastian Vettel is a great finisher to seasons and a poor starter, and he is closer than last season.

Has Mark Webber already overperformed this season, is it possible he has done all he possibly can.

Has Lewis Hamilton got too much to do.

How to become 2010 world champion

Fernando Alonso has to win to confirm title as if he is second to Webber, the Australian wins on second places.

Mark Webber also has to win to confirm title, has more 2nd places than Alonso

Sebastian Vettel needs a 15 point cushion on Alonso if winner, needs a 16 point cushion on Alonso any other place (has more 4th places), if he wins Webber and Hamilton are out of title contention

Lewis Hamilton needs to win and Alonso not to finish, needs a 19 point cushion on Webber, and a 9 point cushion on Vettel

I think if Alonso retires this might be what happens with the Red Bulls, but I also think this is too close to call all it takes is one moment to open this right up.

This is too close to call, but I will make a brave prediction.

Vettel to be the youngest World Champion in Formula One history.

Charles Kane made a mistake to transition, but now he wants to discriminate against others who need to transition. He stated in the Daily Mail that gender identity and expression is a delusion, at least for him. Just because it was a delusion for him does not mean it is for others. He also stated that GRS should be banned, and definately should be banned on the NHS.

I am sorry that this man made a mistake, but he should not be preaching the way he is. The majority of transpeople are happy with their decision. Why is he being such a transphobe, and why are the media giving such a person a platform to spout abuse the way he is.


I am sorry Charles but you do not know if I am deluded so please keep those opinions to yourself

Gabryela Passos, a prisoner serving 22 years for attempted murder has wrote a letter to the Sun newspaper regarding the Etiquette of other prisoners in HMP Downview. Ms Passos set fire to a transvestite Ricardo da Silva in Birmingham, claimed her victim stole her designer handbag. Lets hope none of the inmates steal from her, or drive her over the edge.

She clearly went to the Sun, which has a reputation for transphobia going back many years, for a sympathetic ear. I am just waiting for that tabloids story of how a polical prisoner is being mistreated.

Does she have a case, or does she have to be treated like the animal she behaved like on the outside. This will be a dilemma for the Sun, as their least favourite demographics are Prisoners and transpeople. (If one was unemployed then they would have an easier decision).

Her Complaints include the following.

Horrible uncivilized behavour
Loud music
Running in the corridor
shout and eat at the same time

Excuse me dear, many law abiding citizens have to put up with all the above, with noisy neighbours and family get togethers. Also when the judge read out the sentence of which had to be custodial, did you expect a finishing school?.

Im sorry Ms Passos, serve your time for your horrific crime.
