Seriously? I don’t know what happened but are you saying someone can’t start kicking people out pull out a knife or simply punch someone based on their size. This is a completely bias article but people take it as fact. So biased they use words like she ‘courageously’ didn’t call the police but instead other people called the police in her.
I am glad we now use looks alone to determine if someone might be innocent or guilty.
Tell you what… I’ll concede that it’s technically possible she instigated the violence if you’ll concede that it’s statistically far, far more likely that she was yet another victim of anti-trans violence, followed by bias from the police. (FYI, trans women frequently don’t call the police when they’ve been victimized, out of fear of being victimized even more.)
read the comment from someone who did some digging and found that she has a significant police record in multiple states, including warrants for her arrest. There is clearly more to this story than we have here. Those warrants could still be BS, but we here don’t know.
The takeaway is that if a situation seems clearly cut and dry… it almost never is.
I will absolutely concede trans people are much more likely to be the victim of violence. I know enough to see this first hand. How does that in any way negate that she might be there instigator?
It doesn’t, but it means I’m far more willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until there’s solid evidence that she was, in fact, the one who started the violence. (And pepper-spraying someone who’s threatening you doesn’t count.)
