    This 100% fits the definition of a hate crime. Someone’s appearance does not tell you anything about their genitals, which is why this bathroom nonsense could never play out in reality. Her appearance may be more “masculine,” but she is female and identifies as a woman. I have a strong suspicion that the reaction of these degenerates would have been the same or worse had she used the men’s restroom. They desired to hurt lgbtq+ people, and no bathroom decision would have changed their actions other than to make it worse.

      They knew she was a girl, they attacked her not because of accusing her of being trans, but just because she is lesbian

        That is what I was implying, without being explicit on the outcomes had she been in a men’s restroom.

      the crowdfund campaign to cover her medical costs

      Has to be one of the most depressingly dystopic (true) sentences I’ve read.

      Like yeah, it’s called “taxes”

        I know, it always depresses me when I see that. Even though my country could be better on a lot of things, at least I don’t have to worry about medical debt.

        Huh, I connected just fine (and still do) from Denmark. But there was a cloudflare link I clicked on yesterday that refused my IP which was odd. Maybe they’re testing out some aggressive anti-AI crawler stuff and sometimes get it wrong?
