Varsity in 'gaybashing' row
NASHIRA DAVIDS | 31 October, 2012 00:22

At the entrance of a student residence named after one of this country's most famous freedom fighters, Chris Hani, a crowd gathered to watch the bloody beating of a transgender student.

A security guard working for the University of the Western Cape allegedly stood passively by, seemingly dismissive of the attack, on Sunday morning.

Now Glenton Matthyse, a cross-dresser, law student and gay rights activist, has had enough of homophobic and "transphobic" behaviour on campus.

Matthyse and two other transgender students were injured when they tried to fight off the three attackers.

Once again it seems that it is OK to attack people you don't like.  And no one steps in to stop it.  It is going to take a massive movement to stop this crap.

  
It does not take courage or bravery to change your gender.  It takes fear of living one more day in the wrong one.~me

I look at it this way: there will come a day when transgender peple will fight back.
Be who you are.

To me, it's not the actual beating that sickens me...its the fact the crowd was willing to watch another HUMAN BEING be attacked.

That kind of passive approval colors the audience as yellow, IMHO.
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...
