Rivers told school district officials he was planning to have a sex-change operation and go on cross-sex hormones over the summer and return to teach in the fall as a woman.<\/p>\n<p>District officials directed him not to discuss his sex change plans with students, but Rivers flouted that request and pulled several students aside to explain the situation. He even <a href=\"https:\/\/content.time.com\/time\/magazine\/article\/0,9171,31822,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gave<\/a> an interview to the school paper discussing his three failed marriages, alcoholism recovery, and his fear of rejection by students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not some freak,\u201d Rivers told the school paper.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the school board had written a letter to parents informing them about the upcoming sex change, but explaining that Rivers was a tenured teacher with a good performance record, so there was nothing they could do. After outrage from parents over Rivers\u2019 private conversations with students about the sex change,\u00a0the school fired him.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the end of the story, though. Rivers sued Center High School over his termination, which catapulted him into international news. A glowing profile by the Los Angeles Times at the time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1999-oct-11-mn-21130-story.html\">declared<\/a> that Warfield was \u201cthe teacher who helped low achievers turn it around\u201d before he \u201cbecame a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In November 1999, Rivers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1999-nov-16-mn-34062-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned<\/a> in exchange for a $150,000 settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Rivers was thought by many to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kron4.com\/news\/bay-area\/transgender-activist-and-deviants-motor-club-member-convicted-of-2016-triple-murder-in-oakland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become<\/a> an enforcer for an all-female biker club called the Deviants, which was associated with the infamous gang Hell\u2019s Angels, according to prosecutors in the murder case. Rivers went by the nickname \u201cEdge\u201d and had tattoos indicating he was a \u201c1 percenter,\u201d a reference to the supposedly small percentage of motorcycle clubs that are criminal.<\/p>\n<p>One of the two women Rivers killed was a former member of the Deviants.<\/p>\n<p>Rivers and the woman met at a Veterans Affairs Center, where Rivers, who is also a U.S. Navy veteran, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/princeton-professor-fired-after-sexual-misconduct-investigation-supporters-say-it-was-retaliation-for-his-viewpoints\/\" title=\"Princeton Professor Fired After Sexual Misconduct Investigation, Supporters Say It Was Retaliation For His Viewpoints\">seeking mental health care<\/a>. They became friends, and the woman had a short stint as a Deviant before quitting the biker club.
