Back several years ago, the CBS show CSI ran an episode about the dangers of trans people getting illegal surgeries as part of their transition. Unfortunately, due to the shame and expense associated with transitioning, many trans women, especially, rely upon doing things that are unsafe and illegal. This is what happened because of the transgender woman known as ?The Duchess?. She is known to the police as Oneal Ron Morris.
Morris was arrested on felony charges stemming from her performing illegal cosmetic surgeries that nearly killed several people. She is charged with injecting people with what turned out to actually be ?a toxic brew of substances found in the tire repair product Fix-a-Flat.?
So far, up to thirty victims have been identified or come forward.
One of Morris? victims, Rajee Narinesingh, came forward after Morris? recent arrest. According to Narinesing, she went to Morris to try and have her facial features feminized. Instead, Narinesingh said that Morris ?turned me into a monster. There was a sisterhood of trust. She was part of the transgender community herself. There was a feeling that she won?t do anything bad, she knows what she is doing.?
According to Narinesingh, a year later, her face ?became swollen and disfigured with large nodules that grew to the point they burst.? She had to have a surgeon repair her face. The registered doctor pulled ?cement out of the side of my face.?
Narinesingh finally decided to come forward after Morris? arrest. She had been cnocerned about what had been done to her. She stated that ?You get to the point that you?re scared to go out in public, but I finally got to the point that I realized I can be a victim ? or I can be victorious. I decided I needed to do something to make things better for our community.?
One report states that:
They have no reports of any fatalities, although many of the victims, like Shaquanda Brown, of North Miami, had to be hospitalized for over a month and continues to suffer sickness. Brown ? who is not transgender ? also heard about Morris through friends. Eubanks, 40, quoted her a price of $1,000, which she told him she could not afford.They settled on $700 for 12 injections, six to each side. Prior to Mother?s Day 2010, she went to Eubanks? house in Miami Gardens to have the procedure done, according to court documents.She was asked to lay face down on a massage table. Morris told Brown to relax.?This is my profession, don?t worry,?? she allegedly told the victims, according to the arrest affidavit.The victim saw a tube of Super Glue and a red soft pack lunch bag.
