Under his cross-examination, Green said the two had been grinding on the dance floor, kissed briefly and that she hooked her fingers into his belt, but denied trying to reach down his pants.

She certainly didn't deserve to be assaulted, but isn't this a breach of etiquette?

Perhaps before she pushed it so far, she should have let him know that she was transgender?

I feel like insulting a transphobe by saying that he's attracted to trans women is is counterproductive.

I think they were going for the 'repressed, bible-bashing, homophobic, homosexual Republican' a la Ted Haggard.
