DALLAS, TX 4/25: A transgender ‘woman’ by the name of James Goebel was caught snapping photos of underage girls using the restroom at a Dallas area Target store Monday morning.

One of the victims, a 13 year old girl, said she could hear someone’s iphone camera snapping and was curious, so she looked under the stall only to see the camera phone in her face. She ran out and told her father, who held the door shut until police arrived.

When authorities arrived, they arrested 28 year old James Goebel and searched her phone for evidence. They found over 700 photos of young girls using the restroom, from dates ranging in the past 5 months.

Goebel has been charged with possession of child pornography, intent to distribute child pornography, sexual assault of a minor and indecency with a minor. These charges along with prior felony convictions could land Goebel in prison for 20 years, as well as a lifelong label as a child predator.

Dallas’s local LGBT community has come together to stand in defence with Goebel, claiming she should not be persecuted because she was “born a pedophile and therefore can not change her sexual orientation”. This comment comes from the leader of Dallas’s LGBT Aqua Squad, Dorothy Wright.

The United States does not currently view pedophilia as a sexual orientation, but this is something that Dallas LGBT Aqua Squad is hoping to change.

“We will be remembered in history like MLK for the work we are doing today. We have no doubt in our minds that within 5 years, all sexual orientations, including pedophila will be decriminalized. Weed also” – Dorothy Wright

Their endeavors have been met with fierce criticism, but Wright stands strong, saying:

“We aren’t gonna let these pansy pistol packing, scared to fight with their own hands, scared of anyone different than them, sister *#!%ing, small [penis] looking ass redneck losers get in our way”
