24 YEAR OLD JAMAR MCLEOD SLASHED IN THE FACE WHILE DEFENDING HIS GIRLFRIEND, A TRANSGENDER WOMAN, FROM TRANSPHOBIC ATTACKER
(TW: language, transphobic language, homophobic language, violence against lgbtq persons)
This attack occurred in broad daylight, in Greenwich Village in New York City. &nbsp;No, New York is not some magical utopia where everyone can just &ldquo;be themselves.&rdquo;
Do yourselves a favor, and avoid the comment section to avoid triggering language.

I really wish this article didn&rsquo;t read like it was written by an 8th grader. But it is important to realize transphobia is a major problem, even in one of the most diverse cities in the world.

Transphobia, homophobia; these are merely symptoms of misogyny. And this prejudice is seeded by religion. Want to evolve? Try ascribing to a practical philosophy that isn&amp;#8217;t thousands of years old.
