Inside Out : “We Just Knew…”

Written by Ellen Krug


News Item: The first person to be murdered in Minneapolis in 2011 was a
45 year old transgendered woman, Krissy Bates, aka Christopher Bates, who
was found dead in her apartment, the victim of multiple injuries, including
apparent stab wounds.

I recently saw a documentary about a brain-injured man who used male and female dolls as a form of therapy. The protagonist, Mark Hogancamp, in the film, “Marwencol,” was beaten by five men outside a bar in a small upstate New York town. Hogancamp barely survived the beating, and when he awoke from a nine-day coma, he found that his hand-eye coordination was severely impaired.
