It will be interesting to analyze how the liberals react to the vicious beating of an apparently white male to female transgender individual so brutally attacked by two black females in a McDonald's restaurant as patrons passively watched. Which pet cause will the liberals protect? Does transgender trump race? Are segregated bathrooms based on gender as evil as segregated bathrooms based on race?

In Baltimore,

Equality Maryland said the victim is a transgender woman and called on state Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler to step in and investigate the case as a hate crime. Police and prosecutors said they did not know whether the victim is a transgender woman.

"It does appear that the victim was a transgender woman, and she was brutalized while people stood by and watched," said Lisa Polyak, vice president of the board of directors for Equality Maryland, an advocacy organization that fought unsuccessfully in the past legislative session for greater protections for transgender individuals. "There's no excuse for that violence under any circumstances, but we would encourage police to investigate as a hate crime."

The calls for civility begin.
