Video: Thai Trans Teen Beats Up Another Trans Teen. คุณรู้ผู้โจมตี

Trigger Warning: Extreme Violence In a staged attack a young trans girl beat up another trans person in a bathroom. I am using the female pronouns despite the Bangkok's use of male pronouns because both of the people were dressed femininely. This was a planned attack, set up to be recorded. This was a crime. The antagonist knew the victim would not fight back. I don't know the laws in Thailand but the attacker needs to be arrested and held accountable. ธุรกรรมชุมชนของเรามีดีกว่านี้

Source Bangkok Post A transgender teenager beating up his transgender friend after they got into an argument over gossiping was caught on video and went viral on the internet on Thursday.

Reports said the video was recorded by one of their friends in a restroom in Sukhothai province on Wednesday.

In the clip, a transgender who called himself "P" was speaking angrily to his friend, "Jazz". P was angry that Jazz talked about him behind his back.

P continually taunted Jazz and challenged him to a fist fight but Jazz declined. P then slapped him in the face and later started kicking and knee throwing his friend who refused to retaliate even when he was down on the floor.

Most netizens on YouTube criticised the teenager who beat up his friend, saying he should not attack another person who refused to fight back.

"Look at how she [P] throws her knee, that puts Buakaw to shame," a YouTube user said, referring to a famous Muay Thai boxer.

Another netizen posted a message, saying a transgender should not hurt another transgender

UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey On Fallon Fox "You can Cut Your Pecker Off..but its still not fair."

Women's UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey recent words about Fallen Fox are just as problematic as Matt Mitrione's were.

Rousey told The NY Post she’s "researched the topic extensively and has come to an informed opinion"..(about transsexualism).

Rousey says if Fallon Fox should get into a position to fight her she would but only if the UFC wanted her to because “she can try hormones, chop her pecker off, but it’s still the same bone structure a man has,” Rousey told The Post. “It’s an advantage. I don’t think it’s fair.”

Rousey told the USA Today she has competed in judo against hermaphroditic athletes, she had no qualms about it because "that was something they didn't choose." Fox, on the other hand, is a different case.

"It's not something that happened to her," Rousey said. "It was a decision she made. She should be aware in her career after that, it's going to be an arduous path. I don't know why she's surprised by that. It's going to draw a lot of emotions."

For the record no one has ever made a 'choice' to be transgender. Transitioning and the following procedures are not optional to the ones who undertake them. True, not everyone needs all of the operations, hormones or therapy. What a persons needs depends on that person's innate gender expression.

And what if Fallon Fox should over come all odds and become the next Bantamweight UFC Champion? Rousey's transphobia becomes apparent as said that would be "...a very socially difficult situation.”

Note to the NY Post and USA Today: Journalist ethics compel us to link to our articles once we have published homophobic, transphobic or racial defamation verbatim. Publishing them over and over only amplifies the pain to the offended party, re-victimizing Fallon Fox.
