Check out this article.
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23242105-5007132,00.html
"The accused thought the victim (Ms Muskin) and the customer were talking about her and became agitated and aggressive,"
This is what the Police are alleging.
I wonder is she feeling a bit paranoid about her sexuality?
I am not being judgemental just trying to understand the psyche here.
maybe others could shed some light on the subject.

Seems to be a clear case of paranoia here.
I don't see why she should receive any more leniency than anyone else who goes off the deep end in a shop.
And frankly, what even makes her think that the people realised she was a transsexual? She looks like a woman to me.

I don't know the 'ins and outs' of her situation, but aren't there hormones that she'd be having to take which might make her more aggressive or paranoid than normal?
She must have a good arm on her, to crush a pair of sunglasses and hurl a mirror, I say good on her  |

Stiff shit even if they were talking about her. If she had any class she would've ignored them and moved on

I feel sorry for her. Between the Police outing her, and to someone she cared deeply for, and now the ZOO magazine printing an article on her with a headline that can't be mistaken she has every reason to feel a little paranoid about other peoples perception of her.
That being said there are other ways to handle those situations rather than resorting to violent acts. By doing what see did all that's happened is she's brought herself back into the publics, and more importantly the presses, conscious.

Thanks OEP that explains the history behind all this. So I am assuming that she reacted due to believing she was recognised and thus thought was being villified.
Regardless of gender or sexual preference I could understand the reaction if derogatory remarks were made towards her person. If so then good on her for standing up herself. But not good form to go throwing projectiles.

He's only paraphrasing the article that you posted (linked). Do you mean to say that you didn't read it first? I reckon you saw the word transsexual and thought that it might make a good post and get a bit of a reaction and that's as far as you read.

What's sexual preference got to do with the issue? It's been pointed out many times before on this forum that transexualism has nothing to do with sexual preference. A transsexual person may be heterosexual, homosexual, asexual etc. the same as any other person.
To assume that a person is also a homosexual just because they are a transsexual (which is the implication in your post) is the same as me assuming that you're a bloody redneck just because you come from Queensland. |

Sorry to not feed you here mike. I am not after sparking heated discussion just curious as to peoples spin on the issue.
I mentioned sexuality as a neutrality issue actually. Meaning no matter persons sexual orientation or sexual gender could feel warranted by her reaction. And a Tasmanian calling a Queenslander a redneck...ummm interesting.
I did read the article but did not seem to grasp why she reacted that way. Thus why i sought clarification Did you not read my original post?
Luckily i am a Victorian then eh?

People often become extremely defensive when they had to cop it hard because of difference. Whether the difference be Race; sexuality; physical features (pick a prohibited ground for discrimination).
That can often lead people to hearing/reading/seeing things that aren't actually there simply because they're looking for it.
