On the topic at hand: it wouldn’t surprise me if the reporting is true. But I strongly and firmly disagree with the implications that the usual suspects are making:
1. Most transgender people are not violent; they are, rather, the victims of violence and persecution against them.
2. Tramsgender people are not mentally ill.
Nothing that happened here is going to change these two facts, no matter how much bigotry and ignorance is perpetuated.
