The term transsexual woman fits 33-year-old student Corinna Cohn, but her identity goes deeper than what her body shows.
“I want to be considered as somebody who is an economist, somebody who is libertarian and conservative in principle. Somebody who is smart. Somebody who’s friendly,” Cohn, who plans to graduate later this month, said. “I’m kind of nerdy … I really dig politics. I think that makes a lot more of who my identity is than what is or isn’t between my legs.”
Samisoni Taukitoku testified Monday that he “just started shooting,” at a Halloween party last year where a university student and two others died.
The alleged killer said he doesn’t remember shooting anybody because he was dazed after several people jumped him.
“I was scared and I didn’t know what was really happening, so I jump up and pull my gun out of my waistband and just start shooting,” Taukitoku, 20, said during his first time testifying in the case.
Now a business major at the University of Nevada, Reno, the undocumented 19-year-old is fulfilling what his parents brought him here to do. And although he faces chances of prison time and deportation, Jose isn’t scared because life in America is all he knows.
