Two transgender women were attacked at a Minneapolis light rail station after overhearing a group making derogatory remarks toward them at the station at Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis .
Dahlia and Jess were leaving the station when a man started yelling transphobic slurs at them.
Jess asked him to stop talking to them that way, prompting the man to “sucker punch” her and Dahlia then struck the man with her cane.
Four or five other people ran up and began to mercilessly beat” the two transgender women, Amber Muhm , a rally organizer said.
The day after Trump ’s re-election, “we were flooded with inquiries. We’re still getting a ton of requests,” Kimmy Hull , founder of Sequeerity , said.
“People are about to get a lot more hostile and emboldened in their transphobia , so what do we do to protect ourselves when we're out?”.
