A transgender woman said she was assaulted in downtown Denver last week by two men who targeted her because of her identity.

"If you can't accept someone for who they are or what they are, then turn and walk away," the woman, Amber Nicole said. "There's no need to hurt people."Suzanne Ciechalski and Phil McCausland

Amber Nicole, 23, said she had gone out to enjoy Denver's nightlife and drink and dance with friends last Saturday, when she was assaulted outside her friend's car after leaving a downtown bar. Nicole said she walked away to get help, but her friend soon found her later with her hands on her face, begging two men to stop hitting her.

Nicole said she woke up the next morning with her jaw resting on her neck because it had been dislocated. It had also been broken in three different places, requiring it to be wired shut, she said.

There are always two sides to every story! They would have done better to hand it a referral to a Psychiatrist! Assaulting ANYONE, regardless of who or what they are is unacceptable!

Let me gues, they were wearing MAGA hats and shouting Trump slogans?

Probably another hoax. No witnesses.

Welcome to the age of Trump!

It was two gay guys obviously .

Why don’t you ever report on the attacts on MAGA hat wearers? We know why. No need to answer. Garbage network.

They got attacked and without any evidence to suggest such it was because they are transgender. Sounds like they maybe ashamed of their own gender and thinks everyone else is also

I'm a 61 year old bald, gray haired fart...I say live and let live. 😎 Every human being deserves respect...and if you can't see that...

The media needs to hold off on these stories until they’ve been vetted and facts have been established. Jussie Smollett should have been the final nail in the coffin for stories like this. I’m not being insensitive just pointing out track records.

Transgender Trump is to blame for all the violence in America. His ban on Transgender for entering military has emboldened Neo Nazi extremists to assault and get away with murder

Nigerians in White Face wearing MAGA hats?

Smollet 2.0?

True? Or another Jussie Smollett hoax?

You can't turn a he into a she no matter how hard you try. With that said, no innocent person should be subject to assault.

Oh, these folks are constantly crying about people accepting them for who they are. In reality and all truth, they couldn't accept themselves for who they are! If they did what they expect everyone else to do, they wouldn't be transgender! Prove me wrong!!

XX....female XY....male It's settled science.

Believe all men

Him

Sadly some people do seek these people out..

How would they know he was trans?

Not cool! No violence

Why is this news?

Only democrats would do that. The party of hate and intolerance.

Were they wearing MAGA hats?

Its kinda sad that my first instinct is that its a hoax.
