BEING TRANS DOESN'T GIVE YOU POWERS ABOVE THE LAW

This video was removed from youtube for being "shocking" and "disgusting" as it shows a transwoman beating and kicking a guy who mouths off to her in the subway. Daily Kos is trying to say that they youtube shouldn't have removed it for this reason since youtube also has videos of transwomen being murdered. I don't care why they removed it and I'm not going to attempt to understand why youtube approves what. But I know this--I think it's shocking and disgusting that any person, trans or not, physically attacks someone who mouths off to him/her. I'm sure it is rough being trans, but you don't beat someone up who says something you don't like unless you're a menace to society. We're all human and sometimes we hit that last straw and snap. And I know that trans people can have it rough. But to post this video as a warning and gloat over how badly the guy was hurt, who may have been an @sshole but never laid a finger on anyone, is shocking and disgusting to me. This woman is a violent criminal and will get no defense from me. And I disagree with Daily Kos--the guy may have been a jerk but this savage response to his WORDS was in no way warranted and not his "comeuppance".
