In rehab one of the guys threatened to kill me because I told him to stop misgendering people as a joke. The staff did nothing about it and I had to talk him down myself :yea:

Yeah I basically had to tell him I was only joking and to calm down when he was serious about kicking my ass. I didn't stand by my convictions but it did spare me getting punched in the face.

Staff usually does nothing besides try and watch the show in instances like these.

Glad you're okay and apparently you had the gift of gab
