Also, there are cases where trans women have beaten up men in men's restrooms. Paris Lees, now a celebrity trans woman in the UK, served time in a (male) juvenile detention facility for taking part in a gang assault of an elderly gay man who later died of his injuries. As a teen, Lees was in a crew of gay youths who hung around public loos known for "cottaging" looking for men who'd pay them for sex - and for men to rob and beat up.

I Googled Paris Lees, and she did serve prison for 8 months at the age of 18 for a robbery. At 14 she began prostituting, but later recognized she was a victim of statutory rape. She dropped out of college and ended up doing drugs. I could not find a story of Lees taking part in a gang assault of an elderly gay man so if you could link to it that would be great. However, at age 14 she went into a public toilet cubicle with an older man and had sex.
