Five trans committed suicide after the election.

More that 400 reported cases of violence. A woman in Boston was accosted on a train by 3 fifteen year old girls. They told her to go back home because she was not white. They punched her in the face several times with a cell phone. Stupid children. They have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Gee, wonder where they learned that? Oh wait, Mom and Dad.

FYI This Is A Blue State!
