Only (Born) Women Bleed

According to this stupendously dumb British ad for Always menstrual pads, "There are some people who'd just LOVE to have a period." Like transwomen and/or drag queens, apparently. (In cause you're under 50 years old, the title of this post is a reference to this.)

MARYLAND: Guilty Plea In McDonald's Attack On Transwoman

One of the teenagers caught on video in a brutal attack on a transwoman at a Baltimore McDonald's has pleaded guilty.

Teonna Monae Brown, 19, pleaded guilty in a Baltimore County court to one court of first-degree assault and one count of a hate crime in the attack on Chrissy Polis, 22, said Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger. The April attack brought attention nationwide to the plight of transgender people, with thousands signing online petitions and holding rallies. Prosecutors expect to seek a prison term of five years when Brown is sentenced next month.

The second attacker pleaded guilty last month and was sentenced to a juvenile facility.
