She said transitioning from male to female in 2013 saved her life

Ms McCarthy said she has been assaulted 11 times since moving

A 203cm tall transgender woman who was viciously bashed at a trendy Sydney hotel has faced up to her alleged attacker outside court, calling him 'gutless'.

The fiery exchange on the road outside Newtown Local Court, in Sydney’s inner-west, on Thursday afternoon happened after 43-year-old pop punk band singer, Stephanie McCarthy, had sat through two brief court hearings of two men charged over a vicious attack on her.

Ms McCarthy suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye socket after allegedly being held down and repeatedly bashed by a gang of young men at the Town Hall Hotel - known as 'the Townie' - in Newtown on the early hours of June 6.

The self-confessed 'six foot eight and 110kg' yelled at him as he scurried down a side street.

At Newtown Court on Thursday, Nicholas Wells also pleaded not guilty to a charge of affray.

Alexis Clifford Ozanne applied for a variation of the bail conditions on his charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and was asked to give a $2000 surety put up by his mother who was in court, and told to report three times a week to police.

Before Ms McCarthy's highly charged encounter in the street with Mr Ozanne, she spoke about the violent homophobic attacks she has experienced in the past since transitioning her gender.

'It's not as if I wear a mini skirt and high heels, but one guy said to me, because I'm six foot eight, "you have everything a guy wants, how could you do this?".’

'This one is the eleventh assault since I moved down to Sydney from Newcastle two years ago.

'I won nine of them. I've been spat on on trains, I've had guys grab me.

'Sydney is worse than Melbourne my trans friends tell me.'

Ms Mc Carthy said she transitioned from male to female in 2013, which had been a relief and saved her life

Ms Mc Carthy said she transitioned from male to female in 2013, which had been a relief and saved her life.

'I would have suicide. I tried to, several times.

'It's hard (transitioning) but although my life is 1000 times harder, it's a million times better.'
