Title: McDonald's beating video: Victim is transgender, Maryland attack is hate crime, says advocacy group

Oh I see now... The media now will touch upon this being a hate crime NOT because the VICTIM WAS WHITE and the two OFFENDERS BEING BLACK... but because the victim was a queer transgender woman???? Fricken amazing... Blacks, Queers, Cross-Dressers, Homos and Carpet Munchers the media will stand up for...But not just a plain old white victim... Please keep your guns locked and loaded...One day soon the straw is going to break whitie's back!

The victim of a vicious beating at a Maryland McDonald's is a transgendered woman, according to a LGBT advocacy group that's calling for authorities to investigate the case as a hate crime.

The shocking video, which went viral on the Internet this week, shows the woman being kicked in the head by two girls at the Rosedale fast food chain as some of the staff stood by laughing.

At one point the attackers grab the victims' hair and dragged her across the floor. Responding officers who responded to Monday's attack found the 22-year-old woman apparently having a seizure.

The video was taken by McDonald's employee Vernon Hackett, according to the Smoking Gun.

A 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile in connection with the attack and charges are pending against an 18-year-old.

"It does appear that the victim was a transgender woman, and she was brutalized while people stood by and watched," Lisa Polyak, vice president of the board of directors for Equality Maryland, told the Baltimore Sun.

"There's no excuse for that violence under any circumstances, but we would encourage police to investigate as a hate crime."

The police report does not give a motive for the beating, but quotes one of the alleged attackers as saying the fight was "over using a bathroom."

McDonald's condemned the attack in a statement calling it "unacceptable, disturbing and troubling." The company said it was working with local authorities to investigate the incident. (1 image)

I have a heart for transgendered people. There is no reason to hate them. This sad story is ever sadder.

I don't hate those so filled with self loathing that they have a compulsion to self mutilate.

The difference between a teenage girl cutting herself, and somebody paying to have things cut off is simply a matter of degree.

Whats facinating is watching how its rationalized.

It seems that there is some organic brain chemistry that is at play here. I am beginning to really understand that God created them this way for a purpose.

We all have a purpose- even transgendered people.

It is very complex. I have compassion for them.

I makes me wonder, watching you write so much about God, how many you have steered away from Him. You are about the only person I've seen on the net who continuously presumes to know the mind of God and what He expects of us, but you totally ignore His written word in favor of your own translation.

His word is very clear on the subject of gays/trangenders/homosexuals, and so on, what part did you not undertand? God did not put anyone here on earth with some 'organic brain chimistry' that tells them they are other than what they were born to be, GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, people do when they go against their better judement, in other words, God speaking to them and telling them not to sin against Him, but in today's world, because of our stupidity, most don't hear His word anymore, and mutilate themselves anyway, sin against Gods word!

These people are confused enough, they do not need us agreeing with them that God made some horrible mistake, God does not make mistakes, He's given us a Free Will to do as we please, there is a big difference in doing as you please, and doing what is right for God.

Transgendered people are no different than any other sinner, they are not a special species, they are sinning against God word, and your incouragement to continue this abomination does not help them.

They need your compassion, your prayers, yes, but the last thing they need is your misguided lies of what God expects of them. You would do well to take care of your own soul and see that it has not lost it's way!

Depends on the circumstance.

You can give me the answer to what Jesus said about the blind man and the cause of his blindness.

So, you are one of these, 'hire the handicapped, they're fun to watch' freaks?

First of all, the brain is the primary sex/gender organ. And some people are so imprinted with the gender they were not born physically, their life is wasted unless they live as is most comfortable to them.

Transgender people have to undergo the Harry Benjamin protocol and demonstrate they are happier, better adjusted and finally feel safe within their sin by living in the role of their self identified gender for over a year.

Also, male to female transgender people are not eunuchs. They undergo surgical construction of a vagina, and are even able to achieve sexual orgasm because the surgery is so precise and well developed.

Not every transgender woman can undergo surgery. Because of mental lepers like you, many transgender people in the United States get to their forties and fifties and can't stand the deception anymore and transition if but to stay sane. So consequently some are too old and have medical conditions that make this surgery impossible.

And I will note that those I see who can't do the surgery gain an incredible peace of mind and develop self assurance and functionability in their daily living they never had before. The protocols including the surgery are around because they work, Stone; it makes them better, happier and more functionable

In a country like Thailand which is Buddhist, trans-women get transitioned in their twenties and thirties. It's no big thing over there. This is just an aspect of these people's lives they are dealing with to find themselves and be sane.

You have a lot of growing up to do Stone. You don't follow your god as much as you think you are one. You totally lack compassion and humility to counter the worse in you.

Would your Jesus scream at a mentally ill person to get out of their face because they make him sick to his stomach with disgust? Would he beat a transgender person because they find relief and sanity in current treatment for gender dysphoria as the DMS IV calls this form of gender imprinting?

I think not. If he ever existed, he sure wouldn't have much use for you. Grow up Stone, and grow a pair mentally as well as physically.

Your ungliness and hatred disgusts me.

You are so over the top here, I feel sorry for you.

They aren't plucking anything out or off because of the reasons Jesus was talking about. They are homosexuals who desire to be accepted in society as normal (they never will be though). So in the perversion that is in their mind they dress up like the opposite sex. Now in more modern times they can magnify their freakiness by having their organs mutilated.

Actually as a therapist, Stone- I can tell you that they are not mentally ill for being transgendered. As a Christian, I don't laugh at anyone's pain. Never. Ever. It breaks my heart about this person's condition.

Mental illness isn't funny. Sexual dysfunction isn't funny... messed up brain chemistry, or hormones is not funny.

Most likey this person was not making enough testosterone. They are not denying Christ- if their chemistry is out of whack.

Not all homosexuals are denying Christ either.

I believe Christ made everyone- and he wants his followers, to give them all the chance to get to Heaven.

Transgendered people are not homosexuals. (And even homosexuals should be given a chance to get into Heaven and know Christ)

I just can not find it in me to hate anyone- even if they are different than myself. Even if they have sex in different ways than I do.

I want transgendered people to be saved too.

This story makes want to cry- not laugh. Why beat him because he is different?

"I never said anyone should be beaten."

Nah, you just ignored this is a victim of violence perpetrated merely because she wanted to use the rest room.

And she had a right to use the rest room. Transgendered people in transition should be treated with the same dignity and respect as they rate when they have completed physical transformation.

Someone taking progesterone, estrogen and an androgen blocker is not only not going to want to do anything but their business in the loo, they wouldn't much react like a heterosexual man physically. People like this pose no danger to other women.

Why are you baiting me here?

I support the health care plan, support adding single payer options, and in the case of people like this woman; I support them receiving all the care needed for transformation if they meet the guidelines and standards qualifying them as a person who would be infinitely happier and functional in the gender their mind is imprinted with.

That is my opinion on this.

"I've seen your picture. I think you have a conflict of interest."

Oh I am sure I would have far less trouble doing a gender morph than many men. But that is hardly a reason to do anything along the lines of this journey if one is happy as they are.

I am no Yukon Biff, I am not defensive on this, and good luck trying to insult me along these lines. If I were indeed gay or transgender I would be just who I am. I don't consider either social status to be wrong, evil or disgusting. And I have friends locally who are both homosexual and transgender.

I treat them just like anyone else. If they are mature and socialize well, we get along. If they are assholes and a pain in the ass to deal with, no way. I won't put up with that from anyone.

Homosexuality is normative human sexual behavior; and there have always been and always will be transgender, or gender burring people on this planet as long as the species survives.

I don't use religion to beat people up with and to guilt trip people with self righteous delusions. This is just a device people use to pretend they are better than other folks. A person into that game doesn't like or want to understand anything but their own hatreds and delusions.

Mike you're nuts on this one.

I'm staying out of this one, you got yourself into this.....

But I will say one thing, if what DBR said is true about low testosterone, then why don't they treat them for that (in conjunction with seeing a psychiatrist) to see if it will solve their issues.... For instance, people with mental health issues get treated with medication and psychiatric visits all the time to fix their issues..... I would think the two are actually very similar in nature because they both have certain chemicals missing in the body/brain!!!!!! They just don't take the mental patients out and arbitrarily do a frontal lobotomy on them, so why do a sex change on the others?????

Doing a sex change sounds like a "lab rat" or Nazi type experiment, kinda like the shock treatments they used to do on mental patients back in the day.....

I understand, Mike. I used to be into Wicca for awhile. I respect your right to have your views, but completely disagree with those views. I believe everyone needs to be saved and has the birthright to be saved and is worthy of being saved.

Even when someone does not agree with that, I still don't like to see people beaten, no matter what their beliefs.

Some people are treated for that- but it has to be presented to them as an option. Also many people won't speak out about their feelings, because they are so demonized- so they live a life of shame- and just believe they are faulty- and never seek options.

When presented with a sex change as the only option for relief of their inner conflict- they just take it.

Anyone would. The inner conflict is tormenting. If they saw themselves as normal, wanted, healthy, loved and supported- they might make some more healthy choices for themselves.

Tell them that seeing a Psychiatrist, medication and therapy are the first steps. The doctors are supposed to keep what the patient says confidential, so nobody but the 2 of them have to know the truth...... Make the sex change the very last option, after all else fails.....

It is not really that simple. All of the transgendered people, who I have spent time with, could identify that they did not feel their gender as early as 4 or 5. That is a whole lot of childhood development that is going to be tainted with a gender issue, that they may or may not be able to communicate to the adults in their lives.

We are genderized at a very early age- and that is ok, I don't have a problem with that. What I would like to see is compassion given to people who suffer this complex set if issues, so they can be identified early and given healthy treatment options.

But they are ashamed- much like any child who has trauma. There is no early identification of children who are transgendered, at this stage, from what I am being told, to communicate those things that you bring up.

By the time a person feels comfortable *coming out of the closet* about it, they have a lifetime of defense mechanisms and coping skills, and trauma and shame.

And we can see what happens - from this article. Everyone wants to feel normal and acceptable, but what is normal?

If it were that easy to just be normal- everyone would choose to be the cool kid and just fit in.

And Yes! I agree with you about sex change being the last option. Any surgery puts a person life at risk and should be the last option. I agree.

Another thing is that the idea that all people have some sort of *normal* and conventional sexuality and gender is quite simply a lie.

I am very much like a male with some things. I love racing, and cars and technology, and guitars and science- and geeky things like that.

I am also a girly girl and have my hair done, nails done, wear dresses and skirts- and let men be in the lead and be a gentleman.

We all have degrees of issues, and likes and dislikes, that make up our own sexuality.

If we are honest- we are all wired a little differently for sexual arousal. I can't beat someone up for being gay, being kinky, being freaky, having fetishes.

So I don't understand why it gets other people upset if someone has a gender issue or a sexuality issue that is different from theirs.

I think it is more a matter of people accepting what is outside of the box, to allow a transgendered person to exist peacefully. They are just humans , afterall.

I agree! What happened to that person in the video wasn't right either. Some people are just mean or crazy or stupid.


If you're gonna stir my pot, you'd better get a good grip on the handle!

I agree. I would also prefer to have them NOT mutilate themselves. If I could have my way all children would be raised to love themselves and they would be encouraged by loving people to develop healthy self esteem- for being exactly who they are.

But that doesn't happen- and we have some damaged people because of it. I just really do prefer to love people as far as they will allow themselves to be loved.

EVEN if they have mutilated themselves. If they will accept love, in a mutilated state- I want to love them and help them.

I just can't hate them, Stone.

This story makes me sad.

What I would like to see is compassion given to people who suffer this complex set if issues, so they can be identified early and given healthy treatment options.

Someone doing something wrong doesn't need to be told it is ok and to do it.
