In the night of September 30th two delegates from Turkey of the Third European Transgender Council were attacked by a group of five to seven people when leaving a restaurant. The trans activists have been harassed verbally and subject to physical violence.
"There is no safe space for transgender people in Europe. Last night's attack showed once more that transphobia and racism are not only a problem of certain countries in Europe. Transphobia is everywhere", says TGEU Vice chair Julia Ehrt.

As disgraceful as this is, it's an isolated case which was probably done by Hitler thugs. (Sadly, there are a number of groups of young men, mainly, in several parts of Europe who seek to shock everyone by claiming to worship Hitler).
