Earlier this month, three trans women were beaten by a group of young men in Seattle's gay neighborhood. According to the county prosecutor's office, there's been at least four more group beatings since June 2024. In one case, strangers joined in.
Yeah, but in at least one of these a random bystander high school student jumped in to defend a trans person, and in another a group of bystanders showed up right after an attack to help out. Most people are good, it just doesn’t take very many bad ones to make terrible things happen.

Bit of a silver lining to some really shitty incidents, I guess.
