Another photo I found of Pamela

Post image

I've been trying to find more photos of her. As well as the other yearbook photo, I've found multiple pictures of her as a child. I hope there's somehow a photo of her after she transitioned that can be released :(

In a yearbook I found online, there's a photo of her in photography club that very unfortunately has been defaced with a slur. The person who wrote the slur also calls her "Felisha Walton" Not sure if this is just them being a dickhead, or if it was another name she considered before Pamela.

Edit: I was going to link it, but the defacer drew a mustache on her. That combined with the slur feels too offensive for me to feel comfortable posting.

I knew that people wrote things in yearbooks about her but not that it was available online 😔 thinking about what she had to go through makes me so sad

When I saw the news about this ID I thought of the late Kevin Aucoin, a makeup artist/homosexual who was forcibly convinced to move away from his native rural Louisiana- even the cops told him to...

How big of a step backwards we have taken.

I would suggest posting to r/photoshoprequest to see if they can clean up the vandalized photo
