http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2012/01/transphobic-actions-at-tennessee-agaci.htmlThe reactions to the overt and covert hatred peddled by Republican politicians has been heard loud and clear in the Volunteer State, and now in the wake of the increasing transphobia I received this e-mail from an African-American transwoman living in the state.
She recounted a less than pleasant experience she and a gay friend endured recently at the A'Gaci location at the Stones River Mall in Murfreesboro, TN.

My name is Paris Pinkerton and I'm 22 year old transgender woman who lives in Middle Tennessee. Last Saturday (January 21), a friend and I went shopping at the Stones River Mall. We ended up experiencing discrimination in A'Gaci that day, which is a department store that's located inside of the mall.
