The open-season of violence against transpeople continues with news that fireman and fitness model Taylor Murphy -- who posed in the 2011 NY firefighters beefcake calendar and brags that Hoda and Kathie Lee got "hot and bothered" by him during their morning cocktail hour NBC passes off as part of the "Today Show" -- was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, Claudia Charriez, a self-described "shemale porn star" (stage name Amber Vaughn) who was a semifinalist on "America's Next Top Model" in 2006 before being forced off the show when producers found out she was born male. (Kind of ironic given who runs the show, no?)
Murphy's been arrested and charged with assault, criminal mischief and criminal obstruction of breathing and the FDNY says he's been suspended. (The guy weighs 245, she's just 124.)
Perhaps not surprisingly, the steroid-friendly fireman, who dates a transwoman, also has a modeling bio on the Internet that goes out of its way to make sure photographers know that he's not willing to do anything too gay:
Bio: Hello MM my name is Taylor Murphy I am A NYC fire fighter and have experience in fit modeling and I’m looking to expand my port i have I recently did The FDNY 2011 official calander {Coming out in April} and 2010 Fire Fighter calander {City Of the Brave}, N am up For the FDNY 2012 Cover… Most Recently Worked for Bacardi AdV. n Bjohn Borg Under wear,N Press.

Sadly, Mr. Murphy, I think we understand all too well, 'cause there's nothing "not straight" about THIS.
And get well soon, Claudia. You deserve better than this.
He wants to "expand his port" but he doen't want it to be "not straight?"
ReplyDeleteWasn't it Octavia St. Laurent who said "all men are dogs" ?
ReplyDeleteQuick! Where's congressman Chris Lee?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: That's not my term, that's what she and her porn company classify it as!

Thanks for the clarification, Kenneth. I think you added " " around shemale since its initial posting. I greatly appreciate that (and apologize if I didn't notice the quotes before).
ReplyDeleteWRONG! straight men are just attracted to femininity. As a gay man i am not attracted to a transgender woman because they look feminine! The guy is straight, he will never be attracted to a guy who is masculine. what makes a person a woman or a man has nothing to do with their genitals or breasts.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree. If that was the case, every straight guy I went to high school with would have been attracted to me. And damn, I put out, too!
ReplyDeletewhy harry? do you look like a girl? do you have hips and boobs?
ReplyDeleteand even if you are a passable transgender, it would have been difficult for a HS boy to date you.
hangout with a transgender, see the men they've dated.
