A 53-year-old police officer who is
completing her male to female transition was kicked and punched
at a nightclub in the northern city of Trento, according to
local news reports on Saturday.
The trans officer, who was not in service and was in civilian
attire, was allegedly insulted by three young ultra fans at
around 3 am on February 15.
She was violently attacked after she responded to the slurs by
slapping the youths, the reports said.
The victim was able to run away and drove herself to the ER of
the local Santa Chiara Hospital where she was given a prognosis
of 30 days.
The alleged attackers are ultra fans of the local soccer team,

The police officer has worked in another city for the past
decades, per the reports.
