    In Oregon, today, in a performing theater of all places, as I entered the vestibule of the women’s restroom, some old lady said “are you sure this is the men’s room? Wanna go check the sign once again?”

    So that fucked with my whole day.

    I thought I looked good, looked stylish. 13 years of HRT is not enough apparently.

    There’s pictures of me on my userinfo page.

      “it’s the women’s, I’m a woman. Wanna go check it doesn’t read “brainless muppet” you rotten hag?”

        I am far too polite for that. I’m the sort that stands off to the side of the sidewalk when a bunch of people are walking in the opposite direction, and in a line abreast, and I wait patiently for them to go past. I’m the kind of person that does a quick bow when someone holds the door for me. I’m the kind of person who takes as little space as possible, and tries to be mindful of the harmony needed for society to move along.

      That picture of you is fucking stylish.

      That is fucked up, and it’s absolutely shitty that you had to deal with that. My parents are the same sort of people. ( which is part of why I don’t talk to them).

      You need to know: if it wasn’t this, they would still find a way to be cunts. Trans is seen as an easy target, particularly with the republicans in power. If it wasn’t this, there would be something.

      This is the hard part: they want you to feel bad. It is their sole purpose in interacting with you. How you feel, only you have control over.

      I tend to brutal rudeness when interacting with people like this, using language they don’t tolerate, and being personal about it.

      That won’t work for everyone, and be mindful that law enforcement will back granny sour cunt over you, but be rude, be loud, embarrass them, because that’s what they are trying to do to you

        I live in Idaho and guarantee this will be used by chucklefucks to not only harass trans people, but cis women who don’t fit their standard of beauty and effeminate cis men. Not that they don’t already, but now they can really fuck with someone by calling the cops and disrupting the person’s day rather than just snide comments.
