Transgender Woman Attacked At Gym
From Facebook and my friend María Lapachet: “At the beginning of last month a woman was assaulted in a private gym in Gijon, Spain. She was taking a shower when a man kicked the door open, almost knocking her out. She was dragged out, thrown to the floor, kicked and verbally assaulted by a group of men who told her their attack was just a warning. No one came to her aid. She managed to escape, get half dressed, and leave the men’s room. At the reception area, the gym’s staff members just gave her a tissue so that she could wipe some blood off. No one called the cops or an ambulance for her’ no one offered any other type of help. This is not the first aggression against this woman. In my opinion the first offense was asking her to use the men’s room. You may be wondering

“Transgender Woman Attacked At Gym” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging community and organizing. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
