I'm guessing we will get gender identity included in hate crimes in about 2-3 years.

Also, media like Fox are apparently continuing to put a racial spin on this. It's so angering, because it's obvious these people couldn't care less about a transwoman being beaten and are just using her pain to further their own racism. The horrific actions of her attackers had nothing to do with their race or her race.

I agree that it was not racially motivated.
