A call for help: College Professor harassing transgender woman online
Apparently, without rhyme or reason, a college professor from Louisiana targeted a transgender woman Monday for non-stop harassment on both Facebook and Twitter. Even after being warned of legal and professional consequences James Blain, Adjunct professor at Sowela Technical Community College continued to attack transgender woman Danielle Muscato.
Monday morning James Blain, an Adjunct professor at Sowela Technical Community College began the harassment of transgender woman Danielle Muscato on Twitter. Despite repeated requests to cease and desist Blain continued his attack. Citing anti-trans activist Jordan Petersen and fascist Ben Shapiro Youtube videos as proof of his contentions Blain continued to demand that Ms. Muscato acknowledge that she was, in fact, a man.
Muscato apologized on Facebook after he as was informed that his college would be notified. But his remorse was only for being held professionally accountable as he continued to publicly defame Ms. Muscato.
