And here's a petition to see that the employees are fired.

Yes, there are already at least two threads about the assault.

Well, obviously I didn't see them.

Which is why I posted in here to let you know. I didn't mean to offend.

I'm sorry, I thought you trying to throw it in my face.

Truely disturbing. Thanks for posting that.
I am onlyt in here and the post op forums.

Good to see you back as well.

Thanks love.

was it said that person in the video wasnt a trans but crossdresser?

im pretty sure the new report said the girl was trans

Does it make a difference?  Lot's of CDs pass a lot better than many transsexual women every will, call it the lucky genetics club.

She's been identified as trans by Equality Maryland.

She spoke out.

She could have been an exhibitionist singing gospel with a puck rock beat, while waving a hammer and sickle flag.

That is no reason for her or anyone to be beaten up.

Sorry, not attacking you lostmagic. But I have a feeling the likes of MacDonalds will be trying to mitigate this matter as mich as they can.

Just disgusting. how can these people even live with themselves? Just Horrible

That's sicking, thanks for posting this.

[edit]
the one good thing is that the reporters are all using the correct pronouns, even fox news.

She's post-op

truly upsetting....

Just another reason I do not like fast food joints especially McDonald's  They attract the scum of the earth...

Perhaps. They also attract me.

Our local newspaper, 1,500 miles or so away ran a short wire service report on this incident, where the victim was described only as a "woman." I'm trying to decide if that was an editing bias to avoid drawing attention to a hate crime, or if in someone's mind beside mine, gender or gender identity  does't matter. I'll take the positive outlook and hope that someone else thought it just didn't matter, the story was the uglyness of the employees and bystanders in the incident , not who the victim was. Watch them run a correction tomorrow!

HORRIBLE!  DISGUSTING!  VILE! 

I just wish I had been there. Oh do I wish I had been there. I NEVER would have just stood around and let those "people" get away with that.  I would have thrown the two of them to the floor and if they happened to be stupid and hit me I'd knock them out and THEN call the cops.

I do have a hard and fast rule about never hitting a female because of my naturally high T levels and the fact that I've always been a lot stronger then girls.  But I wouldn't have to worry about that with them.  Those "girls" are just animals. Disgusting animals.

I am not justifying anything that happened. If you watch the woman's statement toward's what happened, she states that it had NOTHING to do with her being trans. In fact she is mad that it is all being pulled out into the open. However, the employees just standing there need to be shot in the foot, the camera guy.. Well yah know, and the old lady needs a statue made out of her.
