People have yelled homophobic slurs at me when I'm working outside or stop in front of my house and lay on their horns from time to time. It's bc I'm the only house in town with an LGBT flag

I'm pretty sure it's only the same couple of guys, more of a sad curiosity than anything. Particularly amusing bc I am cishet

I do think that if these psychos went full Krystal Nacht out here I would be unsafe tho which isn't great. Have considered strapping up on multiple occasions but I have kids and I'm more of a danger to myself than those strangers will ever be

It's not all bad though I get some support honks too and one time a liberal even sent me a thank you card lol

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:

i was assaulted by a fascist last year. a few months ago i was walking down the main street in my city and there was a fascist (anti-immigration) march on. i lost the head seeing everyone just watch them go by as if it's normal, started screaming at them and shit. a fascist on the outskirts started being transphobic to me so i spat at his feet and he punched me in the head lol. it was a completely pathetic punch so i was more or less fine. but put me in a really bad mood so i just turned around and went home instead of seeing a friend that day like I was meant to. i feel like i did the right thing but it was also a little reckless cause i was on my own. but they're definitely not sending their best anyway.

I got jumped by some chuds at a bar back in college

Lost a couple of teeth, but I'm pretty sure I sent two of them to the ER

Still have a lot of problems related to that moment, but it's also why I started packing heat

Because if there is a next time, someone's going to hell and it ain't gonna be me

Yeah, I've been harassed quite a bit back when I lived in one of the methiest places in the country. I had to defend myself once when I found out my mom had given me an empty can of pepper spray. Threw the can in his face to disorient him and just started pulling on his balls as hard as I possibly could.

Um I got my ass beat by a guy in full trad skinhead getup at a bar once but that was more of an act of self harm than anything else.

Honestly he probably wasn't even racist lol I was messy drunk at the time. Shouts out to the bouncers getting me out of there relatively intact.

Edit: oh, followed and taunted by two or three Irish tourist fucks at one point but that was, while intimidating, ultimately nothing. I wish I'd swung on them in retrospect I don't stand down shit anymore.

Is someone doing homophobic/transphobic harassment automatically a reactionary? Cause usually if I'm being harassed or attacked it's because someone thought I looked at them wrong/they thought I said something to them/they are on drugs/dealing with a mental health crisis, which then becomes transphobic harassment once they notice that I'm trans.

But I always chalked it up more to our fucked up homelessness and healthcare situation than transphobia itself, idk.

I don't ride the light rail alone anymore.

One of the Fascists in town who sits on our town council got together with his cronies to harass my wife for calling out their fascist behavior on the timeline. Tried to get her fired from her job, called basically every day for almost a month. We called the cops and nothing really came of it. I think they got bored once they couldn't get her fired.

Not yet, but I eagerly await the day I am. I crave negative attention, and I crave the prospect of physical injury.
