Magnotta and the transsexuals

Luka Magnotta apparently befriended transsexuals

I had a long chat with a transsexual friend who tells me that her fellow tranny friend was friends with Luka Magnotta here in Montreal.    Magnotta, as you know, was accused of committing an unspeakably horrible act of murder and mutilation.
   After Magnotta was announced as the suspect, the tranny who knew Magnotta posted several items advertising their acquaintanceship on facebook.
   Now this is not the first mention of Magnotta befriending trannies, which is a curious thing for a gay man to do. Gay men apparently court transvestites, but not transsexuals. The difference between the two is that a transsexual is generally a man identifying as a woman, while a transvestite takes off the costume after a show and is basically a gay man.
    Now the tranny who knew Magnotta apparently isn’t incredibly reliable, “90 percent of transsexuals are on drugs,” according to my transsexual source. “Whether it’s a hormone from Mexico or from the drug dealer around the corner.”
   But my source waited until the exuberance of knowing a world-wide murder suspect subsided and managed to get a bit more of a reliable lowdown.
    Magnotta and the transvestite apparently bought drugs from the same dealer.
   “The gay village is like a cesspool of drug dealers from everywhere. They converge there because the environment is considered safer than Cote des Neiges or Montreal North."
   Dealers will sell their goods from alleyways, cars, apartments near Papineau and often set up the appointments on text messaging or even skype over a smartphone.
   The drugs are sometimes consumed within the actual nightclubs.
    One gay nigthclub on Amherst called Parking, now closed, apparently had issues with drug usage right on the premises.
   "You'd see people heating up stuff in the bathroom, people shooting heroin in the corners. There was a terrace in the summer where places people would hide and burn a spoon of meth, the weirdest one I saw there was someone doing crystal with a Coke can.”
   Magnotta, according to this source, consumed MDNA (a form of crystal meth), cocaine, speed and ecstasy.
   The transsexual was not forthcoming about whether she had sex with Magnotta or not but it is unlikely because such gay men are apparently not usually aroused by transsexuals, who be as feminine as possible. Yet it has been noted that Magnotta had transsexual friends in the past.
  (As an aside, my source tells me that some of the newer wrinkles in the world of transsexual Montreal: the emergence of apartments where people sublet rooms for people to have sex and consume drugs. And another trend: porn movies being filmed in which the transsexual actual acts as the dominant partner on other men, which apparently a reversal of typical transsexual roles.)
    As for Magnotta, “He was just a regular gay guy in the village, nothing out of the ordinary, everybody wants to be louder, to get attention, to be groped, to have sex, to have fun. He just blended with the masses. When deep inside you want to be more famous and popular you might do something more extreme to get there.”
    When Magnotta's transsexual friend discovered that her friend was the subject of an international manhunt, she started telling people all over about their acquaintanceship.
   We’re still working to unearth more information about Magnotta in Montreal.
   As I mentioned previously, I was told that he had been dancing at the Taboo Bar on De Maisonneuve, seen as the lowest-rung on the gay strip club circuit, the highest being 281.
   My source promises to keep asking around.
  “There is this gay guy who is 50 or 60 who has sex with every little gay boy in the village. I don't know how, either he pays them or seduces them with drugs or nightclub passes. I think he knows Magnotta. If you asked the older gay guys that are really into the younger twinks they might know him.”
