YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA women who defended herself from sexual assault in a bathroom was used by a group that discriminates against transgender people. Hannah Cranston, Francis Maxwell, and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what her response was. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Kelly Herron probably thought she was finished with the expletive-anchored rallying cry she yelled when fighting off a sexual assault last week.
Herron’s story went viral when she recounted on social media how she battled a homeless sex offender who had hidden in a stall in the women’s restroom at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park.
But on Tuesday, Herron reprised her defiant words in calling on a political campaign seeking to restrict bathroom and locker-room access for transgender people to stop using her photo and story.
The Just Want Privacy campaign, which is trying to get Initiative 1552 on the ballot, used an image showing Herron’s injuries and recounted her story in a fundraising appeal. The campaign also shared a news item on its Facebook page with Herron’s image and story.”
