One report says he was attacked while trying to protect a transwoman from the mob.

Why the hell trans people think BLM is going to help or benefit them, I don't know. The whole reason there are so many black transwomen is that the culture is so homophobic and macho their gay kids grow up thinking they have to be women somehow. The only group who will stand by them long term are the reality based, live and let live liberals who the trans activists hate because they don't validate them or agree with compelled speech.
