As I rapidly sat down on the entrance, I managed to drop my ORCA card twice, and I did not discover the person throughout from me who had begun recording me together with his telephone whereas he maliciously chuckled at my apparent transness.
It wasn’t till I heard you difficult him that I observed his habits. You repeatedly mentioned to him, “If you wish to movie somebody, movie me,” and informed him to depart me alone. Regardless that he continued to file and smirk at me till he received off the bus, I tremendously admire your willingness to face as much as him.
I wished to problem him, too, however footage of trans ladies is commonly used to additional harass us on social media, and something I did would probably have been used as “proof” that trans ladies are unhinged, so I acted as if I had been unaware.
Even after he received off the bus, I used to be too shaken to acknowledge the scenario or converse a phrase of thanks, however I would like you, courageous ally, to know that I admire you and need extra folks had been such true allies of queer of us and girls.
And, to the transphobic asshole, you are a fucking coward.
