This is horrible.
A personal trainer just narrowly avoided a prison sentence after pleading guilty to violently attacking a former transgender client.
The attack happened back in 2015. 30-year-old David Sharples, a personal trainer from the U.K., choked, punched, spat upon, and verbally assaulted Tazmin Yates, a transwoman, then gave her 10 minutes to run for her life.
According to court documents, Sharples was drunk and high in his apartment with Yates, a former client, when he reportedly received a call from somebody who said he owed them money.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The call set Sharples off. He began shouting slurs at Yates, including calling her a “f*cking tranny” and a “freak.”
Prosecutor David Jones told the court: “Miss Yates admits that by this point she had had enough of the abuse and she accepts that she slapped the defendant as a result of the abuse.”
The slap prompted Sharples to fly into a rage. He began punching and strangling Yates.
“He continued verbally abusing her and spat in her face twice,” Jones said. “He is a six-foot bodybuilder, he stared at her for a moment before punching her in the face which caused her to fall to the floor.”
After releasing her from his grip, Sharples set a timer and said she had 10 minutes to pull herself together and get the hell out of his place.
“This was particularly abusive towards Miss Yates as she describes herself as a pre-operation transgender woman,” Jone said.
Sharples pleaded guilty to assault last week in a Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
The judge sentenced him to 16-months behind bars, but then suspended the sentence for 18 months. He must also do 180 hours of unpaid work and 20 hours of rehabilitation.

So the trans guy hit the bodybuilder first and got punched out. Sounds like the wrong person got arrested in the first place.

Hold stop. Slap=assault. You lose any victim status at that point.

So you both agree… what’s the problem, Chris?

Ha. I actually did it twice today where it looks like I’m responding to am_psi where I’m actually not.

Shoot, I am in no position to judge. The new layout makes posting kinda weird lol

I’m assuming the body builder was having “chemical imbalances” that would drive such a reaction to just out and out beat the woman down. But, there are a couple of things bugging me:
1. Was there a relationship between these two? Because there are a few holes in the story, like why they would be hanging out in his apartment after their trainer/client relationship was over. And what did it mean “owed them money”?
2. The slant of this story kind of bothers me, because I am a firm believer in equal rights means equal lefts, and she had no business slapping him, regardless of what he said. HE most definitely overreacted and should have went to jail, in my opinion, but I will continue to say it: keep your damn hands to yourself.
Ole boy seems to have a smorgasbord of hangups, so she would be smart to cut all ties with him and be grateful he didn’t kill her, because the next person might not be so lucky (tick tock with this fool, it seems)

@Xzamilloh…as my journalism professor would say,” You just gave this story legs”. I too am puzzled by the leaks you pointed out. Hmmmm….
He BGB
Title sounds like the judge liked it that the bodybuilder punched her so bodybuilder didn’t have to go to jail. But that’s not even close to what happened
Ummmm Yeah
So they were getting high together. The guy freaked and and got hit first. And this is an attempt to twist this into yet another pro trans story.

From the article: “According to court documents, Sharples was drunk and high in his apartment with Yates, a former client, when he reportedly received a call from somebody who said he owed them money.”
It sounds as though there is something in Miss Yates past/involvement with this guy that made the judge conclude she may have brought this on herself. I walk away from this article believing certain details about her were left out intentionally because it would have shown she is no innocent victim.

This sounds like an argument that escalated quickly and got out of control. I hope the judge told Mr. Sharples to cut down on his rhoid use and to get some anger-management training.

Oh my! When I was a kid I was told if a woman slapped me in the face if I insulted her, I was not supposed to slap or hit her back. They used to use the phrase – “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.”. But verbal abuse does hurt us, I know because my mother had her own problems and use to use profanity and call me names as a child. This affected my self conscious to think less of myself and caused me to get lower grades. Finally, when I was in the Navy, my lack of self confidence caused me to see a Navy Information and Education officer. I was given an IQ test and told that my IQ was 132 and I could do whatever I wanted. From that time on, I started advancing, accepted myself as a gay man, met my lifetime partner of 55 years, married 13 years, worked for 45 years, and we are both retired and living the American dream.

That attitude has always existed. Even before Christianity, ancient cultures viewed the penetrated male as being of a lower social standing. http://www.bestdelhiescorts.info

I wouldn’t have sex with a woman on her period either. It’s just a turn-off. Furthermore, I think it’s despicable to pressure people into doing sexual activities they aren’t interested in. It’s what sex predators do. https://www.alldelhiescorts.com

By taking time, therefore, as the time goes on growing, the relationship goes weak as well and It is only wrong to forget, so people’s interest is going to end after marriage.
