“The Kane County State’s Attorney’s office initially declined to issue hate crime charges, but on Wednesday said they are working with police to determine if hate crime charges are appropriate.” What else could this be?
Kane county is a cross-vector for urban blight machismo and good ol’ Bible thumping bigotry
Not sure why they need to add that she’s lesbian. She’s a woman and that was enough for them to attack her.
A group of strangers started harassing her and using anti-gay slurs as she left the restroom.
When she walked away, she said they followed. She told the strangers she is a lesbian and flicked her wrist at them.
“How it started was because I’m a lesbian — just because I walked into the woman’s bathroom, and I looked the way I look,” Grass said.
Sounds like the reason it’s mentioned is because it’s why they attacked. It was a homophobic attack.
Thanks for the correction, I understood that she was attacked because they tough she was a trans woman.

Why would she share tgat info to aggresors?
is that really what you think went wrong? whats wrong with you seriously
Nope. Never indicated anything like that. Im just not sure what telling these unhinged goons that you are a lesbian was supposed to accomplish. Confirming their bias probably wasnt the safest play, especially when someone else is in your care. I cant Dr Strange the scenerio to weight all the outcomes but if I had any advice for someone experiencing a similar situation, dont engage, remove yourself from the scene, go to or stay where people are, and I say this with a whole bag of salt…call the cops.
fair advices and I agree on not engaging but I’d not blame it on someone for being themselves, you and I could think of it at a similar situation maybe because of overcautiousness but some people even if they experience bad experience with some they still won’t just start being like that too out of nowhere and I don’t blame them, shaming why the victim were being themselves only seem to minimize the fault of the aggressors imo
I think that might be the disconnect. She should be able to be, say and do whatever. She has the same rights we all do and the attackers are 100% the catalyst and at fault. But not being able to examine the nuance and learn from it…wtf… Be safe out there people.
Well, I didn’t say it is in this case but could be. Also you never know if the person has Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) or how someone copes with such negative experiences that could affect their memory of it, a lot of factors could be at play but good on you for clearing up it was just a misunderstanding of what you said, your first reaction (and how it was paraphrased) seemed to imply you meant to minimize the aggresors faulf hence why my reaction was that and probably those downvoting it
