It is always best to be on guard at all times, and ready to defend oneself if necessary, or walk/run away if defense isn't advisable.  There is NO truly safe place, and we can never take our safety and security for granted.  Thanks for posting, Anna.

Over the years I have seen people pick on someone for almost every reason you can imagine. Some people go out looking for trouble - usually easy targets. No-one is safe so I agree with Carolyn Marie and apply it to everyone, to read situations before they develop as things can happen really quickly, and even catch out seasoned police officers.

It is important to remember that theats exist but that doesn't mean i need to live in fear.  It does mean that i have to be careful where i go.  If i start hanging out in the wrong places i'm just asking for trouble.Its best perhaps if i simply try to enjoy life carefully.

 

Hugs,

I ask this question.

I assume in the picture is the transsexual woman in question. In my opnion there is nothing there to openly give away that she was anything else other than a woman. Therefore how did this attacker know she was a Transsexual?  Attacks physically or verbally on anyone is very wrong regardless but why was she singled out? I also note the article is very poorly written. Im no Grammer expert. Far from it But theres a big diffrence between Cheese cakes and Pea cakes. I would assume this is a translation error. However It would have been nice to have been proof read before publication (Thats something the daily mail wouldnt do) I noticed also it doesnt give her name. Which to me seems strange as shes happy to share her picture.  Btw its nice to see someone other than me still use the word Transsexual in there describrition. I was under the impression that this word was only used to describe Dinosaurs and people like me. So yay if its making a comeback

The Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM) has condemned this transphobic behaviour and insisted that this is a form of hate crime. It stated that these acts are unacceptable in today’s society. MGRM added that it will keep on striving to assure the safety, confidence and comfort of all those forming part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

 

So Malta gay Rights movement Ask these questions. Why is the alledged perpertrator got his face pixelated. Name and shame.  If he did whats alledged. This is a way to catch him i would have been inclined to think. So he could be punnished for this alledged  crime. If a crime has happened. Your not gonna catch him if you cannot identify him. Msida only has a population of 8,545  or there abouts he wont be to hard to find.

 

It doesnt sway from the fact. LETS ALL BE CAREFULL OUT THERE.  Dont put yourself in a postion where you dont feel you can not remove yourself from with haste. Stay safe

I agree about being safe. Even though I am a Harley Davidson riding biker witch. I am not a drinker, the last drink I can remember was in 2006. I choose not to drink. I try not to frequent places where my safety would be at risk. But in this day and age, that could be anywhere from the local gas station to Wally world.

 

Be safe all.
