McDonalds Attack Victim Speaks Out
4/23/11 – By Nicole Lamb
Chrissy Lee Polis, the recent victim of a brutal attack at a Baltimore McDonalds, has spoken out about the attack in a video interview with the Baltimore Sun.
Fortunately despite the terrifying amount of physical abuse towards her in the attack, Ms Polis seems to have suffered no major physical damage. Understandably she is afraid to go out after the attack, a sentiment shared by many other trans woman for who simply going out or using the restroom can put them at risk of violence.
Despite the boogeyman idea of trans women being men who prey on women in the women’s restroom, an idea used by people to shoot down trans non-discrimination legislation, there have been no recorded incidents of it happening. Instead there are the incidents like this where trans women are attacked or arrested for solely using the restroom.

I don’t know what Maryland law states, but in Canada, hate crime or not, this poor woman’s assailants are guilty of aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit same.
Such crimes carry a possible fourteen-year prison sentence, EACH!

Good to see she is doing better. It is such a shame to see so much hate in some people for not any good reason.
