> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > And the reason transgendered use womens rooms is to avoid getting assaulted. So what’s plan B? Accessorized catheter bags? From what I understand, before a transgendered person starts on the surgeries, s/he has to spend at least a year living as the desired gender. That is, a M2F person has to dress as a woman, and act like a woman…which includes using the women’s room. ---

That is, a M2F person has to dress as a woman, and act like a woman… **which includes using the women’s room**. Except for that last (bolded) part, that’s my understanding too. AFAIK, it’s illegal in Maryland (and in most states) for a man to use the women’s restroom, and vice versa. ---

From what I’ve been reading on other websites, the lady who was beaten up appears to be a post-op, midtransition transsexual M2F. She has surgically created girlybits, has lived as a woman for a very long time, and is in the process of continuing varying feminization procedures such as jaw reshaping and other corrections. It’s a very sad situation. ---

> [@Nadir](#): > > How much beating is too much? Could we please focus on the real problem for a moment - violence? We all know the racist/hate/sexual orientation part is spicy and controversial here, but isn’t that merely an associated factor to the the actual crime of assault? In that vein, I contend that beating a person to the point of causing a seizure (if it was not in fact, being faked) may under certain circumstances, meet the terms of the colloquial reference to beating someone “within an inch of their life,” and could reasonably be considered to constitute a good beating. ---

[QUOTE=Nadir] In that vein, I contend that beating a person to the point of causing a seizure (if it was not in fact, being faked) may under certain circumstances, meet the terms of the colloquial reference to beating someone “within an inch of their life,” and could reasonably be considered to constitute a good beating. [/QUOTE] If the seizure was not only 100% faked but the victim started the fight by calling them names and then throwing the first punch (which there’s of course no evidence she did either of course) these bitches still need to be behind bars for a long time. If they didn’t do any permanent harm it wasn’t for lack of trying and they belong in a cage. Any justification ended the first time they came _back_, and the guy shooting the video needs his life derailed as well. He might can justify taping it- evidence and all that- but YouTubing it and then defending it with “Tha was no woman!” hopefully earns him a little time and a lot of probation. ---

Presumably Limbaugh and Drudge and any other righties who were appalled at black-on-white violence will now be very quiet and forget it ever happened since it’s just good old fashioned, red blooded, all American queer bashing. ---
