Right-wingers mock trans student tased by UCF police after demanding not to be misgendered

An altercation between juveniles and a transgender student at the University of Central Florida last year ended with the student being tased and pepper-sprayed.

The officer in his report said he told Vick to “place his hands behind his back in order to be handcuffed.”The video also shows Vick interacting with another officer, Dan Riley, yelling “She. Stop misgendering me” as the officer uses he/him pronouns repeatedly.Vick also asks Riley why a group of juveniles is being allowed to harass her on a college campus where she is attending classes.Riley responds, “If you do not lower your voice, I am going to put handcuffs on you, and I am going to take you to a Baker Act facility," referring to a Florida law that allows for the voluntary and involuntary detention of people experiencing a mental health crisis.“F—ing try it,” Vick responds.“Are you
