There is video and pictures. They are saying a possible hate crime.

Sounds like the Trans woman went to talk to some of the men if I am reading it correctly.

$1200 reward

So APD is looking for men who assaulted a man-pretending-to-be-a-woman. Got it.

I don't support violence of any kind, and the perps need to be held accountable.

But I am pushing back on the notion that the victim should be called a woman if they're a biological male.

Poor thing....

" The author of that post was not present during the attack, but said one of the women told him about it immediately after. The women had been "incessantly hit on by three men," he said. When the transgender woman joined her friends, things took a turn."

That's also about the time things turn for the worse in my experiences as well.

So some dudes beat up a dude?

It is a natural reaction to get pissed if a dude with a peen is hitting on you unwarranted and you are straight. If that is what took place then I can see the reaction but if just hitting the dude just because then yea they need to be held accountable.

To be fair, with the shrinkage most dudes get in Barton Springs, it's hard to tell.

I saw the reddit post with the pics, but they alluded to a video of it occurring and that was not included, nor was it in the kxan article, although they said the video was shared with them.

Im guessing the pics are from the video. So that begs the question...if they are looking for the belligerents and everything happened exactly as they claim, why not post the video and instead of relying on two ****ty screen caps from it, unless there is more to the story.

If this was about a regular white woman, would this be front page news?
I don't live in Austin.
Just asking.

If a Rainey street Ripper victim was trans they would've been caught already.

Or you could just be an adult man who has self control. Bragging about assaulting anyone for simply making a pass at you shows how bleedingly insecure you really are

Did you read the story?
The guys told the trans to piss off.
The trans walked away but in typical fashion couldn't leave well enough alone and went back to confront them about what "their problem was".

Their need to COMPEL everyone to participate in their madness caused this.
