Bouros: “sit down with me … get to know me”
ROSENDALE – Angelina Bouros has lived in Rosendale for seven years. She is a homeowner and a regional manager for a healthcare company.
The transgender female has lived on the same street that whole time with no problems, until now. She found a note outside her home days ago spewing hate language.
It read in part: “I just found out that you used to be a man, and pretty good looking too, and now you are a woman. You FREAK! You are a disgrace to the neighborhood. Thank God we live way up the road away from you and we don’t have to see you every day. You are a f***king freak.”
Bouros was shocked to find the note.
“I was very upset about it, to say the least, that one of my neighbors would have so much animosity and hatred toward a group of people and somebody that they don’t even know,” she said.
Bouros turned the note over to the local police who told her they would treat it as a hate crime. She knows what she wants to do if and when they catch the perpetrator.
“I would like to get involved and as punishment for them, I would voice my opinion and I would like them to be mandated to sit down with me for an hour and get to know me, and then render an opinion about me,” she said.
Bouros has traveled across the country as a transgender female, including in conservative southern areas, and she said she has never had a problem being a transgender woman.
