Police Arrest Transgender Woman In Bronx Pepper Spray Attack, Links To More Hate Crimes Being Investigated
March 9, 2019 at 11:59 pm



NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police on Saturday arrested a transgender woman they say attacked a white couple in the Bronx and may be behind a series of attacks in upper Manhattan as well.

Investigators say the transgender suspect, who is black, confronted a couple on E. 187th Street near Crotona Avenue in the Bronx. The attacker allegedly approached the couple and asked the woman if she was white before pepper spraying her.

The couple was too afraid to show their faces on camera, but tearfully described what happened in an exclusive interview with CBS2.

Why is a man dressed up like a woman a "transgender woman"?  He's trans and he's a man - which make a transgender man.

I was thinking that same thing...it's hard to tell what's in the style book anymore.

And, of course it is to reinforce the idea that he is actually a woman trapped in a male body.  So, if you and I use the phrase "transgender woman" to describe a man, we are participating in the propaganda.

Which is why I don't use that phrase.  It muddies the Language, and I prefer clarity, in words and thought.  If I have to ask, "What does this mean?" when I read something, the writer has failed.

These days, I think it actually means you're not "woke" enough.

Yeah, probably.  That just makes me want to poke them in the eye with two fingers instead of just the one. 9999hair out0000

Transvestite used to be the more accurate term.

Transgender were people who'd had their genitals surgically mutilated.
