A transgender woman threatened to fight a GameStop employee in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after he apparently referred to the biological male as "sir."
Another customer at the store taped the incident and a man named Tom Smith posted it to his Facebook. The intense video quickly went viral.

"After he referred to the biological male as "sir"" Ah yes, clearly no slanting going on here.

yeah that's a fucking bullshit way to present the situation and depict those involved

pretty fucking gross of the OP to use this source which portrays the incident in this manner

Good on the woman too. I'd fight people who intentionally misgender my trans friends.

This only adds fuel to the alt-rights agenda when people blow up like this over an honest mistake. Either something else happened that set her off, or she has anger issues of sort.

Jeez the wording of that article is a damn minefield. Take a shot for every time it refers to her as "trans person" or "he" instead of woman or she/her.

I saw this vid yesterday along with the cashier yelling at the MAGA shirt guy.

Both are really bad, people need to act more rationally in public.

Being misgendered is a constant, unending indignity that many trans individuals are forced to face daily.

At some point it probably becomes too much, I don't agree with launching into a tirade, but it's not something that anybody should be using in anything other than 'some bad shit must have been happening to this poor woman to make her snap like that'.

Customer was over reacting based on the video. This seems like a one off that should be dismissed.

Just picked a random website showcasing news after watching the video on Facebook. No need to go full on judgemental as a Puertorican who doesnt even vote.

$50 this is a lead topic on Joe Rogan where he, mysteriously, is against the public display of speech and anger despite being for it when its, oh, the Proud Boys.
