Andi Dier. a transgender woman from New York was roughed up by the employees of The Irish Times Pub and Restaurant in Holbrooke as they bruskly removed her from the premise. Ms Dier says they used transphobic slurs and tried to take her I phone after seeing she had recorded part of the incident.
They then stole her state issued ID and had it not been for a stranger outraged over her treatment, she says the employees would have kept it.
I was troubled that she didn't contact the police. It makes it look like we're exaggerating the situation if we don't do that. Even if they don't do anything, it protects us from the accusation that the incident wasn't as bad as we say because otherwise we would have called them.
