I was in a far away city (9h ride) this week. As I left the restroom of a pub, a slightly annoyed lady waiting outside calmly remarked "it's the women's restroom, alright?" to which I simply replied "yes, exactly." Surprisingly, she immediately understood and apologized to me.

The only thing worse I've ever had happen to me since my coming out was a cashier mocking me. What kind of twisted joke is it, that my worst experiences of discrimination are so... mild? I wish I could share some of this peace of mind with all of you who struggle. But maybe I'm just to quick to dismiss the discrimination that's just hiding around the corner.
