The NYPD is investigating the alleged attack in Greenwich Village’s Stonewall Inn.

A transgender woman reported to police that she was raped inside the bathroom at the historic New York City gay bar Stonewall Inn on Saturday night.

The 25-year-old victim told police she entered the bar’s single occupancy unisex bathroom when a man claiming he needed to wash his hands walked in behind her. He then allegedly groped and raped her, before fleeing the scene.

The victim left the Christopher Street bar in the Greenwich Village neighborhood and returned an hour later, according to an NYPD spokesman. The victim then called 911 and was taken to a nearby hospital.

The NYPD confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the department’s sixth precinct is investigating the incident and that no arrests had been made as of Monday morning.

The Stonewall Inn was the site of the 1969 protest that gave birth to the LGBT rights movement and was declared a New York City landmark in 2015.

A spokesperson for the bar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Was he/she a pitcher or a catcher.

“At this point in time, what difference does it make?”

Original "package" is all that really matters to me but I couldn't figure that out until a previous post above.

[Gamecock]

I honestly don't know how to feel about this. </sarc>

Now there’s a surprise right out of nowhere...

And was the perp a non - identified transgender woman or man? Was it a straight crime or gay crime?

I don’t know what a “transgender woman” is. Is that a dude that thinks he is a girl or visa versa?

Which also begs the next question - how do you rape one? Does it require an initial doctor's physical examination to determine the point of attack?

Sounds like one male fag raping another male tag in a newly created place.

Very confusing

or maybe a cross dresser?

[dfwgator]

It happens.

Yes

[Resolute Conservative]

Like the girl said, “I sing and dance around my room in my underwear, doesn’t make me Madonna...”

[Starstruck]

If she was raped by a transgendered man, I sure neither one could figure out what the hell happened.

[Harpotoo]

Could have been a woman with a strap-on.

Who knows now a days?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Was it rape-rape?

[liberalh8ter]

In a normal world.....Since it's described as a “Transgender woman” it could only be a girl, dressed as a guy who was then raped at a homosexual bar which would mean the person who raped her would be heterosexual, thereby negating the whole “homosexual” thing. However, we live in bizarre times so it probably means Bruce Jenner has a boyfriend.

[Huskrrrr]

A dude who thinks he is a woman who behaves like a dude...Who the Hell really knows?

[Doogle]

You troll you catch

enough horrific rapes will change attitudes but what a terrible price to pay.

Even if not one rape happens it is still a horrible idea and a terrible invasion of one's right to privacy, and that other right that is so so violated in today's PC universe, the right to simply be left alone!

It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola.
