A transgender political activist in Colorado pleaded guilty on Monday to a second-degree misdemeanor for smashing the windows of the state Democratic Party's offices in August.
Ariel Attack, who identifies as a transgender anarchist, is part of the organization Bash Back! Denver. The group raised $5,000 to bail her out of jail after she and an unidentified accomplice shattered 11 plate-glass windows at the party headquarters.
Though Ariel Attack refers to herself as female, the authorities and press, like The Denver Post, have referred to her as 24-year-old Maurice Joseph Schwenkler.
