A group of attackers pummeled a transgender man badly enough to fracture his left eye in a Brooklyn beating police are investigating as a bias crime.

The 32-year-old victim, who police say identifies as male, was set upon by five men as he walked along Ninth St. between Seventh and Eighth Aves. in Park Slope at about 11:30 a.m. Friday.

“What are you looking at, you white f----t?” one of the men yelled.

They then started punching the victim repeatedly in the head and face, cops said.

the problem was racial hatred, not sex

Black privilege

It seems to me ... confusing! “It” seems to be a girl that now thinks “it” is a man. OK, got it. But the “he” and “she” pronouns don’t work for me. “He” is a woman, but “he” thinks he’s a man? Seems like when we are talking transgender, we should use s/he instead of “he” or “she”.

Will we even hear of the “religious” aspect of the attackers? (Likely NOI or Islamic..)

:: we should use s/he instead of “he” or “she” ::

Why not s/he-it?

Black beats gay man = doesn’t make the paper.

The New York Daily News reported the beating and so it obviously did make the paper.

Why not refuse to play their games, and just call a woman “she,” no matter how she dresses.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Because, having to explain the joke doesn’t make it funny?

“police are investigating as a bias crime. “
What a bunch of a$$wholes. The bias is black against white, you idiots!

[Tax-chick]

Because it’s a quick and entirely polite way to be offensive.

[T-Bone Texan]

Are those really hate crimes if the mentally ill tranny did not disclose their defect to their potential anonymous sex partners beforehand?

What, did they think the other guy would be all “Oh well, situation not optimal but let’s make the best of it”? I don’t think it works that way, so, a haiku:

If I expected
To find beav but found weiner
I would be mad too!

[fella]

How about she/it?

[SaraJohnson]

She made the attack up.

If these thugs had attacked a straight white man in a similar manner, it would not have even made the local paper. He would be “paying” for the crimes of long dead slaveholders, even if his forbears came from Sicily or Poland 40-50 years after Appomattox.

[Tax-chick]

Are those really hate crimes ... ?

I don't think so. Just crimes.

Abreviate it, take out an E a hyphen and a backslash

[JimRed]

Why not s/he-it?

Or, whatever. Oh, she-it.

Why not refuse to play their games, and just call a woman “she,” no matter how she dresses.

Totall agree. But the way these writers are writing this stuff saying "...the woman that now is a man says HE is happy." Huh? The writers play along with the farce.

[Tax-chick]

The writers play along with the farce.

I know. That's why it's important that normal people never should. A man is a man, a woman is a woman. Changed clothes? Doesn't matter. Hormonal/surgical mutilation? Doesn't matter.
