On the evening of Oct. 23, transgendered student Amaya Taina, 20, was harassed on Portland State campus.

Near the corner of Southwest Broadway and College Street, Taina and a friend were goofing around, taking pictures while she pretended to hitchhike passing cars.

Meanwhile, three boys in their early 20s rode by on their skateboards, laughing and mocking Taina while one approached her and shouted, "Why are you dressed like a woman?"
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
