To the people behind I-1552, I say 'not today, mutherf*ckers

Pretty screwed up - the lady who fought off attacker now being in campaign against transgender. She's not happy. I heard an emotional interview with her today on the radio.

"To the people behind I-1552, I say 'not today, mutherf*ckers,'" Herron said in a public statement today about Just Want Privacy's attempts to use her story, repeating the words she says she screamed at her attacker. "I refuse to allow anyone to use me and my horrific sexual assault to cause harm and discrimination to others."

According to charges filed last week by King County prosecutors, Herron was attacked in a public Golden Gardens bathroom on March 5 by Gary Steiner, a 40-year-old registered sex offender from Arizona. Herron, who had recently taken a self-defense class, was successfully able to fight off her attacker and lock him in the bathroom until police arrived, the charges say.

"I fought for my life screaming("Not today, M**F**er!&quot , clawing his face, punching back, and desperately trying to escape his grip- never giving up," Herron wrote in an Instagram post following the alleged attack.

On March 9, Just Want Privacy sent an e-mail to its supporters with a picture of Herron's bloody face. "Sadly, what happened to Kelly is hardly rare," Just Want Privacy's communications director Kaeley Triller Haver wrote. "Each week yields new stories of deviant men who found ways to access female's vulnerable spaces in order to exploit them."

Kaely, honey, it's called grabbing the door handle and walking in. He wasn't cross dressed or anything else, he was a typical scumbag male predator and now he's a bloody scumbag male predator who is sitting where he belongs, in jail.

Bless your heart.

The pervert was hiding in a bathroom stall wearing men's clothes. She is very pro transgender.
