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.
