Transgender Woman Speaks Out After Horrific Attack in Paris Crosswalk Goes Viral: VIDEO<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

A sickening attack on a transgender woman<\/a> in a Paris crosswalk near a rally against Algeria\u2019s president has gone viral, and she\u2019s speaking out.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports<\/a>: \u201cJulia, 31, was set upon on Sunday as she walked up steps at the metro station in the Place de la R\u00e9publique. A big rally was taking place in the square against Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algeria\u2019s long-ruling 82-year-old president, who has since announced his resignation. Wearing a black-and-white striped blouse, Julia was blocked by protesters who taunted her in Arabic. One man<\/a> ruffled her hair, while a girl<\/a> draped in an Algerian flag came to try to help Julia. After the girl<\/a> moved on, a man<\/a> repeatedly punched Julia while another could be seen kicking at her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julia spoke out about the attack to Paris media, telling Le Parisien<\/em>: \u201cOne of them yelled at me, \u2018you\u2018<\/em>re a man<\/a>!\u2018 <\/em>I did not answer him and tried to pass. He shifted to block me again and said \u2018I asked you a question, you answer! You will not pass!\u2019 <\/em>Another said to me \u2018But you have breasts\u2019 <\/em>and touched my chest. I pushed him away and told him not to touch me. A third then exposed his penis<\/a> and shook it and said that I was going to make him happy. Meanwhile, I had beer thrown on me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardest thing is not the blows, it\u2019s the humiliation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThe violence against this [transgender] community takes place every day. But some people won\u2019t have the strength that I have and they\u2019ll be destroyed by these attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agression transphobe.
Nous sommes bien en plein @Paris<\/a>, \u00e0 R\u00e9publique. <\/p>\n

Une honte pour notre pays.
Une honte pour le drapeau auquel vous pensiez faire honneur. <\/p>\n
