Transphobia also hurts cisgender people.

I would know. I was hurt by it too. It doesn't involve bathrooms btw.

I'm not sure this had anything to do with transphobia. The attackers just sound homophobic; they probably saw her hair and don't know or care that the slur they picked isn't for girls. It's sad that she's going through this. Their girlfriends robbing them after they had been beaten down speaks volumes about what sort of people they are.

It generally really sucks to be a victim of a hate crime.
