April is the cruelest month for Chrissy Lee Polis.

The 22-year-old stopped by the Rosedale, Md., McDonald's, just east of Baltimore, last week.

Two patrons, an 18-year-old woman named Teonna Monae Brown and a 14-year-old girl, seemed to come out of nowhere and began ferally assaulting Polis.

The savage pair may have been disturbed at the prospect that Polis was transgender. "They said, 'That's a dude. That's a dude. And she's in the female bathroom,' " Polis told The Baltimore Sun.

I wish the author hadn't dragged Renee Richards into it.
Nero was the Forum Admin here at Susan's Place for several years up to the time of his death.
