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.

And if the woman was beaten because she was transgender and not because she was white?
If a dude is mentally ill enough to have his penis cut off. He is mentally ill. Still a he and not a she.
I don't think it is a mental illness, Stone. I have spoken, at length with some transgendered people, and they are not mentally ill or dysfunctional. 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.
Anyone who cuts off their penis is mentally ill. They are sickos.
Have you ever spoken to someone who believes they are born to the wrong gender? They are not always sickos.
Two things. I don't associate with retards and metally ill people. It is an insult to God to believe their loony tune about being born the wrong gender. They are mentally ill sickos.
It is an insult to God to believe their loony tune about being born the wrong gender. Do you think mental illness is a choice? Remember the blind man Jesus healed? What did Jesus say when asked about the sin that "caused" his blindness?
Depends on the circumstance. People who cut their penises off are weirdo freaks. Their mind isn't right. They have screwed up morals. 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.
CZ you have to read what Mike said. Mike you're nuts on this one.
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.....
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.
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Encouraging people to mutilate themselves isn't right.
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.
No one says you are supposed to. But don't call them normal.
But, the problem is, there is no normal. There are just human beings. Working with people will tell you , there is no normal. "Normal" is a myth.

"Normal" is a myth. Then why did Websters include "abnormal" in their dictionary. There is something seriously wrong with people who call themselves the PC word "transgendered". No you aren't transgendered, you are just an idiot that mutilated yourself. If you cut off your penis you are a eunuch.
