I watched the video so let me answers some comments.

The transgendered human being was dressed as and looked female. Who knows if she was post-op or not? If post op then she was fully female. Before you can receive permanent surgury for gender change it is often required that you live as that gender for a certain number of months.

The restaurant was pretty empty except for an older lady who stopped the girls and yelled at them for a while before giving up and leaving.

The police were called by somebody or at least the workers told the girls police were coming.

A few of the workers got the girls (attackers) off this person several times and and soon as they thought it was over and the girls were leaving, the girls would bolt back over and start kicking and beating again.

I'm sure the almost nervous giggling heard by the male workers was just a reaction to what looked like a nasty cat fight. It looked like an area of the country I wouldn't want to live in. These guys have probably witnesses tons of girls dressed like tramps getting into cat fights. They may not have thought much of it at the time but they were yelling stop and trying to intervene through the whole video.

Its a terrible thing to happen but its clear that what I'm reading and what I saw on the video are two different things.

In the video of the victim on the news she looks like she's completed the process of gender change and does look a lot like a woman. She said one of the girls initially started the fight saying the victim was trying to "talk to her man". I'm wondering if this was a hate crime at all. Did they know this was a transgendered woman? Or was it just simply a fight over some crazed whore defending "her man"?

To be honest I'm getting the feeling it was just a brutal assault by some ghetto girls who were raised in a nasty, violent part of the country and it had nothing to do with the victim being transgendered.
