Women maced and beaten because someone thought she was trans

Ah, so the transphobes so concerned with "protecting women" have caused harm to a cis woman, who they are supposedly protecting?

What. A. Shock.

The story is seriously alarming and I feel bad for the victim, especially considering the policing mistakes made in the proceedings. Although I have to say that the implication by the victim that trans women aren’t “whole” women was a bit frustrating.

This is what we've all been warning transphobes about. You can't always tell who's trans just by looking at them, so any anti-trans laws are just going to take rights away from all women. All this legislation is just a guise to take women's rights away.
