Transgender woman beaten and robbed
Stephanie endured a severe attack during a robbery at a gas station, which she believes was motivated by her transgender identity. The assailant left her with serious injuries requiring surgery.
The suspect beat Stephanie so badly, he shattered her elbow, sending her to the hospital. She now has metal plates in her arm.
"I was feeling that that was my last day I was going to live," she said.
Stephanie is transgender and says the man used several slurs toward her, making her believe that was the reason she was targeted.
She is healing physically and emotionally, while encouraging the community to stay aware.
