Travez Perry - violent attack at high school

chron.com/neighborhood/tomball/news/article/Transgender-teen-says-she-was-bullied-before-13335970.php

" Perry, who is transgender, told police that the female victim had taken her picture and posted it on Snapchat with a negative comment, according to a Tomball police report."

My son had someone take a picture of him with a negative comment on Snapchat, but he didn't beat the culprit to a bloody pulp.

"According to court records, the female victim sustained a possible broken nose. "

When I was bullied for a long term at school it would have never entered my head that jumping on the bully’s head was a good solution. No excuse for that attack and I hope he is punished in the courts for his violence

It may be unfashionable, but I believe the words of my mother “sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you” whilst being at one level untrue, at the same time helped me to develop strength to ignore the bullies. Physically I was weaker, mentally I could be stronger.

Nobody knows what Millie has gone through, and this could have just been a final straw for her.

What exactly is enough and justifies kicking a woman in the head almost killing her? Just so we’re clear on exactly how many words it takes for a woman to deserve her head kicking in?

s but not on male violence (that is not transgender) in the UK?

We’ve started umpteen of those threads. Strangely enough, when we do, MRA types appear and tell us why we are wrong to do so.

It’s almost like Male violence against women is normalised...

How are we wrong discussing this again?

There might have been bullying by one or both of the victims in the form of comments on social media. But it doesn't matter. Any bullying is one thing, the very violent assaults are another. Although I suspect they'll end up being entangled and will influence what happens in court.

But that's just supposition by me. Let's see what happens.

He would have killed her if he hadn't been stopped, he was totally out of control. I'm sorry but I call utter bullshit on the "bullying"as well. We all know these men/boys don't like to be thwarted. Sounds more like the girl said something he didn't like and he attacked her. Someone who is built like that is simply not going to be bullied consistently by smaller girls/women, they'd be too scared.

It's not really clear that this person identifies as a transwoman.
Comments here from someone who posted 'I luv u' on Travez' FB:

"I have no voice T, sick in the bed. Angie just texted me... SMH. I watched the video. He's got his Momma's fight in him I tell you that!"

" Ikr...they calling him a tranny and she turning over.... He has been bullied at school for a min and people know and he lost it."

" I noticed that in their reference's to Tra. They should've known to leave him alone."

"Still sad though, didn't want him getting into criminal trouble."

I wonder if certain people here so keen to believe every trans person is brave and stunning instead of a fucking thug in this case would be so keen to take their side if it was their daughter who had been violently attacked.

Nobody knows what Millie has gone through, and this could have just been a final straw for her. That is all speculation of course because I don't personally know her or her family'

I think the societal tendency to make excuses for male perpetrators is multiplied tenfold or a hundredfold when the perpetrator is a transwoman. And it's disgusting. I can't believe the mental gymnastics people will perform to excuse the inexcusable.

I'm bored of you now feminist4 you post incessantly yet you don't answer questions posed to you.

The scroll button is your friend. Seriously. Remember the saying "Don't get in the mud with a pig. You'll only get dirty and the pig will enjoy it." If a poster annoys you, scroll by. Don't engage.

F.... THAT IS VIOLENT.

Seriously, No excuse EVER.

That's a really shocking piece of footage.

I can't understand how anyone watching it can attempt to justify that level of agression.

Stomping on someone already on the ground, who is is no position to defend themselves clearly demonstrates a desire to cause serious injury by someone dangerously out of control.

If you didn't know anything about this case all you could conclude is that a powerfully built male seriously and viscously assaulted a young women by kicking her senseless in a frenzied attack.

The insight that the perps id's as trans and that the girl has said something on Social Media they didn't like, doesn't change the narrative above one iota.

I'm bored of you now feminist4 you post incessantly yet you don't answer questions posed to you.

It's also depressing to read the comments. And how many people find that sort of reaction totally justified.

Yes, I really don't know why I expected everyone to read my mind!

Oh OK - I get it now. I wasn't sure if you were critical of the quote you posted or not initially! Or, at least I knew you were critical but could not quite join the dots...

Stop trolling our boards feminist

My advice is to ignore the trolling. If you engage, you give the action attention.

Sorry. I should've been clearer. Yes they don't know the person involved, nor the family, they're just having a guess, but the implication is it's justified.

Oh OK I get that.

In fact re this ... (Countess)

In how many other situations would you watch a video of a man violently beating up a woman and say 'but we don’t know what the background is to this situation'?

I actually thought - well most really. Because it's always women's fault.

I presume what Datun's getting at is that we see comments like the one she's bolded every single time male-on-female violence is reported.

Domestic violence/family annihilation? "What sort of a nag was she that she drove him to such extreme actions?"

Rape? "What was she wearing?" "Did she say no forcefully enough?" "Well how was he supposed to know she didn't want it? She let him buy her a drink and 50 Shades is mostly bought by women, doncha know?" "She probably just regretted it the next morning..."

We see it every time. So much so that when we see, as in this video, incontravertible film footage of a male bodied individual stomping on a much smaller woman, there are people whose first reaction (without any evidence one way or the other) is to say "Well, obviously she was a bully and drove him to it."

Yeah, a video of a male bodied person kicking seven bells out of a girl is very likely to make us fall into the trap of thinking male violence is a much, much more prolific problem than feral girl gangs.

Nope - still don't get it.
