dont ever read comments on livelink, mediatakeout, worldstarhiphop, all those corny ass sites. those sites are meant to instigate and create a racial divide. they are built and geared towards dumb people, to keep dumb people living in some kind of alternate universe where racism is as bad as 50 years ago. they keep people in this tiny alternate universe bubble of ignorance and racism
Being able to use a McDonalds bathroom is a 'special right'? Regardless of what hardware she was born with, this person identified as female, and therefore should use the womens bathroom. It has nothing to do with who she's attracted to sexually or anything like that--we don't segregate bathrooms based on sexual orientation, we do so based on gender identity. If those two girls had such a problem with a transgender women using the same bathroom as them, then perhaps they should have found another place to piss instead of beating her until she seized.
I have to admit I made conclusions before even looking at the vid, I thought it was some big ass manly looking black tranny being that it was b-more in the females room but when me and my girl watched and looked at the "guy" ...that was fucked up. They didn't need to do that, but I still feel weird about men -no matter what they identify themselves as- in the female restroom and I'm kinda stumped on this shit. But IPIM is right.
The trans faked the seizure tho.

Was she fully a girl though?
I know most females would be bothered if the he/she was standing up pissing. I can imagine the he/she leaving the stall door open and standing up pissing and the girls walk in and are like oh, what the hell.
I do agree though if they beat her/him just because it was a her/him then that is wrong. Well really a beating like that is wrong anyway though, to me that's like preying on the weak. I mean a few punches or slaps and when the person obviously wants nothing else to do with the fight let it go.
Also I have always thought they separated bathrooms based on physical parts. Females are understandable uncomfortable to be in a restroom with their pants down knowing their is a dick in the same restroom.

BALTIMORE, MD -- A teenager charged in an attack last week on a transgender woman in a fast-food restaurant was arrested a year ago in connection with an assault on another woman in the same McDonald's.
Court records show that Teonna Monae Brown, 18, who was charged with first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault in the April 18 attack, was involved in a previous confrontation with a woman on July 27, 2010, at the McDonald's at 6315 Kenwood Ave.
The victim in that case, Danielle K. Dower, ultimately asked prosecutors to drop assault charges against Brown, according to Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger, although he could not say why.
Shellenberger said his office is considering other charges against Brown and a 14-year-old girl who police say admitted that she had participated in the attack last week on the transgender woman, Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, described by witnesses as succumbing to a seizure while being punched and kicked in the head. The younger girl was charged with second-degree assault, but the prosecutor did not rule out filing hate-crime counts against her and the older girl.
"We're looking at both defendants in regards to the whole case and we are reviewing the case for the possibility of additional charges," Shellenberger said. Referring to the 14-year-old and the likelihood of her being charged as an adult, the prosecutor said, "We're looking at the proper place for her case to be."
Asked whether he was considering charges against the McDonald's employee who shot video of the attack with his cell phone but apparently did not intervene or report it to the police, Shellenberger said that Maryland law does not impose punishment on bystanders who fail to help a person being attacked. Only people who are deemed to have aided and abetted a crime can be charged in such circumstances, he said.
The employee was fired from the restaurant after the incident, which became an Internet sensation by virtue of his video.
A woman who did intervene, Vicky L. Thoms, 55, "attempted to separate the suspects" from Polis and was punched in the face, according to a court document that provides details of the attack. Darick Jones, the restaurant's manager, told police that he saw Thoms being punched, "which caused her to become disoriented." The suspects then pushed Thoms away while the attack on Polis continued, the document said.
Polis then "fell to the ground after struggling to fend off the suspects and the two suspects fled the area," according to the document.
Thoms confirmed to a police officer that she had been punched in the face and pushed during the melee, which apparently erupted after Polis had attempted to use the women's bathroom. The officer observed that Thoms had "redness around her right eye, which is consistent with someone punching her in the face."
Interviewed in her home Monday by The Baltimore Sun, Thoms said she had stepped in because she feared the assault on Polis might be fatal. "I thought, 'They're going to kill her,' " Thoms recalled, stressing that she is not a heroine and would have helped anyone, despite her concern about aggravating a back injury. I couldn't take it any more," Thoms said, describing her horror as she watched the beating for about two minutes.
She also said she had no idea the victim was transgendered, but added that it would not have mattered. "It didn't matter if it was a pig laying there being beaten," she went on, tearfully.
"I still would have helped. I knew she was clinging on to her life. I just keep seeing it over and over again," said Thoms, a McDonald's customer who had intended to use the drive-through window but parked instead because she did not want to wait.
She said the employee who shot the video did not try to help and warned the suspects to leave because the police were on their way, an assertion that is reiterated in a police report of the incident. Of the video, she said, "It makes me sick to watch it."
The video, she said, lasts only about three minutes, but the actual assault went on for ten. "It's terrible that a human being had to go through that," said Thoms, who expressed a wish to see Polis again and "give her a hug."
