- The Ladies Gaelic Football Association has published a new policy allowing “transwomen” to play at all levels of the LGF. An Italian tech worker named Giulia Valentino, who moved to Ireland just a couple of years ago, has been pivotal to the campaign to allow men like him to play football in the women’s league.
- Using advanced DNA testing, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office finally determined that the suspect in the unresolved (until now), nearly 40-year-old cold case murder of Christina Lynn Castiglione has been identified as Charles David Shaw. Castiglione went missing and was found dead in November 1983, having been strangled to death and sexually assaulted. Shaw died of accidental sexual asphyxiation later that year. He had been arrested in 1981 for the attempted abduction of a woman in the Fowlerville McDonald’s parking lot. In 1982, he was arrested for stealing women’s shoes from a Kmart. Police said Shaw’s family described him as a “sex addict with a disturbing life” who also “struggled with his gender identity.”
- A new Canadian study found that nine in 10 male inmates who identify as transgender were incarcerated for violent offenses and nearly half were sexual offenders.
