Dana Rivers (née David Warfield) credited porn with developing a “lesbian” identity.
Wright and Reed were long time Michfest attendees; it’s likely Rivers violently took their lives due to feelings of entitlement. It is reasonable to assume DR is currently in a ♀️ prison wing. pic.twitter.com/hsPr9FucsL— Women’s Voices (@WomenReadWomen) April 30, 2021
- Dana Rivers, 67 (born David Chester Warfield), a trans-identified male, is found guilty of the brutal murder of Patricia Wright and Charlotte Reed, a married lesbian couple, and Toto Diambu (known as Benny Diambu-Wright), their 19-year-old son. Rivers was a prominent trans activist in California, and became known in 1999 after being fired from Center High School in Sacramento County, California for discussing his “sexuality and the importance of gender self-determination” in class with students. Rivers had been active in “Camp Trans,” a campaign against Michfest’s annual woman-only festival, which finally ended in 2015. Patricia and Charlotte were regular attendees at Michfest.
