Justice4Eyricka

A Beautiful Trans Woman Eyricka King, also known as Rapunzel Mizrahi if you’re on the ballroom scene, has been at the hands of sexual abuse from inmates at the Franklin Correctional Facility. Eyricka has been reporting these problems to correctional officers; which, only made things worse for her. In a letter written to her “gay” Mother, Kelly Harrison, she stated correctional officers has also been abusing and attacking her and they have also thrown her in “the box” in attempt to silence her. She has had some support from one officer, Ms. Southers, who has had her moved to another dorm from the dorm she was being sexually harassed in by her roommate. She was then approached by the same guy threatening her with a group of others, she proceeded to ask another sergeant to move her because of these problems and he did just that. A black van arrived with 3 other sergeants eager to help until they found out it was a transgender. One said “I don't feel like dealing with this pussy faggot cuff him now,” leading to them all brutally attacking her and calling out more transphobic slurs. The facility is also denying her medical treatment. She has wrote 3 other letters to her Mom since the incident had taken place (June 30th) and they have all been torn up and returned to her. She is afraid that they are going to kill her and call it suicide.

Eyricka Hand written letter:

My question is why are transgender people being incarcerated with the gender they were assigned at birth. It would only be fair and appropriate that they be incarcerated with their genders. Yes, prison/jail is a place for rehabilitation, but these people should not be treated less than human. Eyricka Thompson is not the first trans to be mistreated inside of these correctional facilities, but we must put an end to this for the entire LGBT+ community.

How could you help?

Stop Over Sexualizing Me

Stop over sexualizing me. Yes, I may flaunt my body via social media and through my outfits, but that does not mean I am down to have sex with any and every man I come in contact with. I am literally just a carefree, Black, gay man who loves himself and the skin he's in. I present myself the way I do to display my self confidence. Being so sexualized has created so many different insecurities for me; Starting with trust issues when it comes to dating. I have to put up this wall and act emotionless to find out if guys actually desire to know me for me and not just to explore body. But, then there are guys who are willing to explore my mind and personality, which oftentimes erupt a mutual attraction. I don’t think it's fair that people associate my shirtless selfies and my self portraits in my underwear with how sexually active I am. People expect me to be some sort of sex expert just because I post these kinds of pictures, without even knowi...
