"Closing time effect" refers to the phenomenon that individuals begin to perceive the opposite gender as being more attractive as it gets later into the night.

Subsequently, it caught the attention of social psychologists who used scientific testing to gather evidence in support of the idea. CeCe McDonald ( ; born 1989) is an African American bi-trans woman and LGBTQ activist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.  She came to national attention in June 2012 for accepting a plea bargain of 41 months for second-degree manslaughter of a man she stabbed after McDonald and her friends were assaulted outside a bar near closing time.  The attack, a year prior, was widely seen as racist and transphobic, and became physical when McDonald was struck in the face by the man's friend with "an alcoholic drink" glass causing a bleeding gash that needed stitches.  According to "Mother Jones", when McDonald was getting away from the bar the man came after her, she "took a pair of scissors out of her purse and turned around to face [him]; he was stabbed in the chest and died from the wound."  McDonald said she saw how her case was progressing so took the plea bargain rather than face trial and risk a possible 20-year term.  According to the "Bay Area Reporter" her conviction "sparked outrage, and was viewed by many as an act of transphobia and racism against a woman who defended herself."  Although she is a woman McDonald was housed in two men's prisons.  An online petition "led to the state department of corrections administering the full regimen of hormones she needed."
