A Violent Outburst of Anger

Today was a very rough day. Something I need to live with and learn how to not let it affect me. But it did, inevitably. I am not made of steel.

Today I have been called white racist, fat boy, faggot, fucking bitch, piece of shit, fat fuck.

I might be missing a few.

At the end of that I have also been threatened to be beaten.

All of this with such a violent outburst of anger I had never experienced before from another human being.

All of this because I made a point to tell this man that he was parked in one of the 2 only spots we have reserved for the many handicapped customers visiting our location.

The words he used against me, were hurtful in many profound ways, as a typical street bully, this guy knew how to hurt me pointing out all of the many things that give me dysphoria, insecurities, uneasiness. Typical. But the thing that struck me truly was the amount of anger he had.

In a few days, it is going to be TDoR Transgender Day of Remembrance. This violent outburst made me realize how quickly things can lead to potentially harmful situations. This guy hated me so much for my gender, for my sexuality, for the physical appearance that he wanted to beat me up.

I can just imagine how someone like this man could in a different scenario lead to an even more definitive act of violence towards someone like me, someone like you.

Scary to see, scary to witness, scary from where it came from.
