Summary

Two transgender women, Dahlia and Jess, were attacked at a Minneapolis rail station, with onlookers cheering their assailants instead of helping.

After confronting a man yelling transphobic slurs, the situation escalated into a violent assault involving four or five others, leaving both women unconscious.

Advocates attribute the rise in anti-trans violence to emboldened transphobia fueled by misinformation and political rhetoric, including Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies.

The local trans community is responding with solidarity rallies, self-defense classes, and firearm training to prepare for a potential increase in attacks.

Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.

      So it’s okay to attack them? Apart from that,… next you argue the same way about gays…

      You are ether an idiot or evil… or both.

      So they deserve to be attacked… find a hole and sit in it for a long, long time. Maybe some self reflectance will find its way up your limited mind.

      Incorrect factually, scientifically, morally.

      Every single scientific organization in the US disagrees.
