She may require financial help with her medical bills. If so, I intend to donate and I will post a link here of where others may donate.

This is the link to the vicious beating:

There is also a follow up story that reports two suspects have been arrested. This is the link to that news story:

It is indeed a horrific act ... first and foremost by the 2 girls thugs who beat up the transwoman ... and then just as horrific none of the McDonalds employees coming to her aid (except for the Manager & older lady). It's almost as if everyone in there felt they were watching a reality television show with no consequences ... sad.

My heart goes out to the transwoman for a full recovery and I hope the two girls thugs are prosecuted to the fullest extent ...........

and in some way one can only hope that by this clip going viral that it will ultimately give more attention to the need for equal rights everywhere for trangendered people as loved human beings in society.

As of late last night, the LGBT alliance at my university is in touch with Equality Maryland to find avenues for providing financial assistance for medical treatment and to discuss how to pressure the state of Maryland to prosecute this as a hate crime.

I've just been finding out about this It's sickening.

On youtube, I found a video where a guy is congratulating the people who stood and watched
Anyway in this video he uses the term "trap"

"So, the lady who was beat up at Mcdonalds is a Trap"

I'm assuming this is a derogatory term? I've never heard it before.

See this post of mine for a definition of "trap."

Speedy recovery for the beaten lady.

It is sad, but cruelty is not reserved only for males. Females could be also evil.
