Summary
Two transgender women, Dahlia and Jess, were attacked at a Minneapolis rail station, with onlookers cheering their assailants instead of helping.
After confronting a man yelling transphobic slurs, the situation escalated into a violent assault involving four or five others, leaving both women unconscious.
Advocates attribute the rise in anti-trans violence to emboldened transphobia fueled by misinformation and political rhetoric, including Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies.
The local trans community is responding with solidarity rallies, self-defense classes, and firearm training to prepare for a potential increase in attacks.
Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.

So they deserve to be attacked… find a hole and sit in it for a long, long time. Maybe some self reflectance will find its way up your limited mind.
Incorrect factually, scientifically, morally.
Every single scientific organization in the US disagrees.
Assuming that’s true; are you okay with these people being attacked and beaten because of it?
