Showing Original Post only (View all)Kentucky woman says man beat her for looking too masculine — as people stood by and watched [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/05/kentucky-woman-says-man-beat-her-for-looking-too-masculine-as-people-stood-by-and-watched/A Paintsville, Kentucky woman said that she was attacked and brutally beaten on Thursday for looking too masculine.
In a post on her Facebook timeline, Brittany Nicole Wallace wrote, Today I was assaulted. A man assaulted me because I look like a dike! He told me that he would beat me like the man I want to be. He said, people like me make him hate the world.'...
Wallace said she tried to fight back, but her attacker was bigger and stronger. Bystanders, she said, never even lifted a finger to help.
The sad part is that no one would come help me either. Several people stood around and watched this happen to me. Again, I truly believe that if I had a more feminine appearance someone would have helped, she wrote.

As a word of advice, you might reconsider linkng Christian or any religion to bigotry and ignorance

If true, her attacker should go to jail and I wouldn't mind the onlookers being outed
