Back in 2010 I was under trial for growing marijuana in Washington state.  I was approchaed by a court reporter by the name of Diana Hefley who was very interested in my case and wanted to interview me for a story she was writing for the Everett Herald Newspaper.  I told her I would grant her an interview after the trial was over, and she seemed very pleased. 

The first day of 3 days began in court with Diana Hefley sitting in the back of the room.  The trial was on the manufacturing of Marijuana against a known and verified medical marijuana patient (state legal).  The prosecution had already released two suspects they caught red-handed selling pot to their CI, and given them both full immunity in an attempts to get me.  This is because they had absolutely zero physical evidence that I had committed any crime, and the only evidence they had was that I was legally allowed to grow marijuana. 

Despite my legal name being Cammie Mckenzie at the time the court case was filed (and had been that name for more than 1 year prior), the prosecutor (Matthew Baldock) decided to go against state law and file the case in my former name.  Why you ask?  To ensure that prejuduice would ensue against me in the courtroom and hopefully sway the case to his side.  Matthew Baldock knew I was a transsexual and that my court records were sealed, so he did everything in his power to expose my gender identity to the world.  And with the help of Diana Hefley, he did just that!

By the third day of the trial, Diana Hefley had already outed my publicly online as a transsexual - something that had absolutely nothing to do with the court case.  She took it upon herself to make sure my privacy and sealed court records were exposed to the world in the most heinous of manners.  Her decisions to add the transsexual factor to her story is evidence of her intolerance, hate and prejudice towards the LGBT community.  She chose to out me, when the case was entirely about medical marijuana and the state prosecuting a legal patient. 

Since Diana Hefley publicly outed me online, our company has lost over $1,000,000 in sales from her defaming me personally.  Immediately thereafter "Fraud" and "Scammer" reports began surfacing on the web, stating I abandoned my children, was running from the police, had changed my gender to try and get away from the law, etc... etc...  All because I wasn't openly a transsexual.  Why you ask?  Because of the prejudice and hatred that could be directed at me if everyone knew.  But thank you Diana Hefley for making it your job to spread hate around the internet.  To damage my company, my personal reputation, and my life.  People like you should be locked away for your hate crimes, not hired to spread more of it.  You are a despicable person Diana Hefley.  I only hope the same hatred will follow you the rest of your days so you can feel just a tiny bit of what you have done to me.  But hey at least you got your 2 seconds of fame from outing me right?

 Where YOU may not like what she did, it IS FACT that YOU are a transgender individual. Outting you was a SIDE EFFECT!!! YOU need to accept REALITY. Reality is that YOU are neither male gender OR female gender. This causes A LOT of confusion for people you deal with. Is it SIR or MAM? Do they shake your hand or stay back so they are not invading YOUR personal space. Lastly, the customers that you have dealt with were probably under the impression the you were PURE female. When its found out that you are in fact NOT, people tend to just not bother comeing to your business because THEY are uncomfotable with a transgender assisting them. YOU KNOW its all about sex and it always has been. Even if there isnt a shot in hell of it happening. Its the GAME that is played between the two genders. YOU are neither AND both, this makes ppl uncomfortable.

Your being "outed" is on YOU. YOU chose to keep this a secret. Because of THAT when the FACTS of your case are discussed, your gender bending becomes just another FACT. Dont hate on the reporter, THEY only gave the information presented in court. If the DA chose to try you under your BIRTH NAME, then that is their choice.Your name change is pretty much an alias. Im betting they did this to show that YOU are the type of person who can make a quick change and skip out of country. I mean lets face it, if they are looking for a MALE, they ARE NOT looking for a female.

YOU were warned that YOU would face these situations by your gender bender psychologist. That what you are doing may make YOU feel better but is going to cause you issues later in your life. While I applaud you for the strength it took to do this, I must condemn YOU for what you have done HERE. Its a reporter, they have a job to do. That job is to present the FACTS of a case. You have one FACT that you do not share for whatever reason. You need to accept that YOU made these choices. YOU did this to yourself. No, im not saying you should broadcast to the world, I am saying you cannot act surprised when its found out. If you feel that strongly about it, then take the reporter to court, because it IS a civil matter. No laws have been broken in telling the world that you changed genders. YOU may not like it, but as I said before, this WAS your choice. Now you have to live with the consiqences of that choice.

Good Luck, and I would stay off the web to tell your story until you speak with a lawyer. You could damage your case and potentially LOSE!!!
