Person 1 says: If you're a man I'm going to need you to never approach a woman who's alone at night time. Don't care what your intention is - unless it's an emergency, don't. You probably have no idea what the jolt of cold terror and/or the gnawing dread feels like in these situations. Thanks. Person 2 says: Unless he's good looking, well dressed, well spoken, and driving something expensive, right? Person 1 responds: No you fucking idiot.

I am so deeply sorry, honey. My heart breaks for you. I hope you know that you don't ever deserve aaany of that shit! I wish I could bite all their heads off for you and for everyone else these garbage bags harass. :(

I'm sending so much love to you over the Internet. I'm so damn sorry that this has been part of your welcoming to finding and living openly as the woman you are. I don't even know what to say, it's just not right!! It's extra fucked because it's like, this should be such a joyous time for you, and as usual the assholes ruin it for the decent, innocent people. I hate it so much. I'm all weepy over here for you. I'm sending you big, big Internet hugs, if you want them. 🫂💖

    Hey it is actually the most joyous time of my life. For every one negative interaction I have several more positive ones. Warm, open smiles from other women, nods and smiles of queer recognition and solidarity etc. I'm just genuinely so very very happy.

    I just wanted to share here because it's something that I got to see from both sides if you know what I mean. I used to be invisible and now I'm not. And now I understand what that fear feels like, before I used to just hear about from other women.

    Thanks for being so kind. I'm really doing okay.
