--REPORTER PKG AS FOLLOWS--
CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Nats: Damn! An attack!
AN ATTACK ON FOUR WOMEN OF THE TRANS COMMUNITY OUTSIDE A BAR LAST MONTH
THE FACES OF ALL HAVE BEEN BLURRED DUE TO NO POLICE REPORT OF THE EVENT BEING FILED
Kimora/Trans Advocate: For Sacramento to be listed as a sanctuary space for trans people, we need to be better And that was not better
IT STARTED WITH A DISAGREEMENT INSIDE GOLDEN BEAR BAR
Ayotunde/Punched in brawl: As I'm spreading out my hands because I'm focusing on the girls to make sure that they're spread apart, I am all of a sudden punched
AYO SAYS SHE WAS PUNCHED BY A MAN WHO STARTED SHOUTING TRANSPHOBIC SLURS
Ayotunde/Punched in brawl: He said 'y'all are not boys I mean y'all are not girls Y'all are trannies
S'Vonn/Witness: He was yelling out slurs, saying we were all the f-word
AND THEN A BRAWL BROKE OUT OUTSIDE OF THE BAR
Jenasis/Witness: I haven't been in one myself in Sacramento but I have definitely seen, like witnessed places where queer people will be attacked
WHICH CONCERNS SABRINA NAVES A TRANS SACRAMENTO WOMAN
Sabrina Naves/Trans Advocate: Stickers are not enough You have to understand where this violence comes from, the attitudes that are spreading it and how you can fight it when it's in front of you
AS WELL AS THE FOUR WOMEN WHO SAY THAT SAFETY IN THEIR OWN SPACES IS STILL LACKING
Kimora/Trans Advocate: They will protect around but they won't protect while we're there
WHILE NAVES SAYS THE STRUGGLE IS IN FEELING STEPS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT THAT THERE ARE STILL MORE TO GO
Sabrina Naves/Trans Advocate: We want to come out and be visible but at the same time we can still be attacked for being visible
AS THEIR STORY IS NOT UNIQUE TO OTHERS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY
Jenasis/Witness: And I have countless screenshots of other LGBT people saying 'this is not new'
AS THEY ASK FOR INTROSPECTION AND HELP FROM A CITY PROCLAIMING ITSELF AS A TRANS SANCTUARY CITY
Ayotunde/Trans Advocate: One thing that we need is more of our own spaces So we don't have to go out and ask for other people to do so
--TAG--
AS FAR AS WHAT SACRAMENTO'S SANCTUARY CITY DESIGNATION MEANS
IT RESTRICTS STAFF FROM USING TIME OR MONEY ON EFFORTS FROM OUTSIDE STATES' LEGAL ACTION AGAINST PEOPLE SEEKING GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE
