A Philippine court on Tuesday convicted a U.S. Marine of killing a Filipino last year after he discovered she was a transgender woman in a hotel in the Philippines while he was on a break after participating in joint military exercises in the country.
Lance Cpl. Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted of homicide by first strangling Jennifer Laude and then dunking her head into a toilet bowl in the hotel they had checked into after meeting in a disco bar in Olongapo city, northwest of Manila. He was sentenced to 6-12 years in jail, with time already spent in detention credited, said court clerk Gerry Gruspe.

Gosh, you think some sort of “trigger warning” ought to be in place when the dude is actually a dude.
Reminds me of the stories I heard from guys in Viet Nam and the “Billy Boys”.
When this marine found out what he was buying, he was pissed.

Idiot writer could have saved me all that trouble by using honest and accurate language.
With all the prostitutes in the PI it’s just bad luck he picks up a tranny.
Don’t ask. Don’t tell.
might have been a dead giveaway.
Discovered he was a guy in drag and not a "woman" or a "she." Still, the proper reaction is "get out," not murder. Sentence seems pretty light, unless there are some extenuating circumstances I don't know about.
Crocodile Dundee had a simple test to prevent being misled.
Science says XY chromosomes cannot be converted to XX. An inconvenient truth, for sure.
Actually, if Subic Bay had still been open his buddies could have warned him what to look out for.
In a sane, rational world, you would be allowed and glorified for killing such an evil, immoral, irrational, diabolical person, who would try to lie and deceive a person about something so intimate and personal which mocks and emasculates a person in such a vile way.
The total destruction of human dignity is complete when you glorify such evil, vile behaviors which destroy human dignity and mutilate the body (satanism)——and it is intentional as Paglia stated-—to destroy and collapse civil society (Western Christian cultures to reduce us to pagan/slavery/socialism-—to reduce man to irrational animals to be herded and controlled and culled-— with no regard for Truth/God and Science (Natural Law/Logic).
I can just imagine his reaction at the moment of truth. He was expecting to find certain things in certain places, but, found out he wasn’t getting what he would find with a real woman.
A murderer should be "glorified" because his victim was a sexual sinner?
Yet the jerk never bothered to tell the guy before going to the hotel.
Like what did HE think, that the Marine would be “cool” with messing with a dude in a dress?
These rage murders are a recurring story in S.E. Asia.
This is one of the few I’ve heard of being prosecuted.
Other GIs have been able to leave the premises without being traced.
Given that it is rape by fraud, the killing is self-defense in a sexual assault.
No woman would ever be prosecuted.
