Not content to deny us jobs, housing, public services and dignity. Transphobes also want to deny us bodily functions.
In an attack on what I surmise from the article is an MTF Thomas Pruett brutally and excessively beat a Transgender person for daring to use the "wrong" bathroom to attend to their sanitary needs. Fortunately the community is enlightened enough that it did not take an internet campaign to prompt an arrest of this violence prone hater.
I'm not certain why anyone thinks it is appropriate to prevent someone from using any restroom. I myself have had to deal with this issue and have avoided the violence but the anxiety upon using the facilities still remains.
Authorities told us Pruett attacked the victim for using what he said was the wrong bathroom.
"They were gong into the men's bathroom, the person came up to the victim and kicked the victim in the ribs, started beating the victim," explained Flores.
According to Flores, the victim was left with a broken eye socket bone, cuts and bruises.
Kathy Flores: "the victim is just coming to terms at this point with the trauma that's happened."
