maybe semantics here but flirting, to me, implies an interest in someone. You had no interest in the men. Teasing, again to me, implies you are trying to get the attention of the men and not always in a good way. Teasing an animal often ends up badly for one or the other. Not saying these guys are animals but you are sending mixed signals. You are saying "hey look at me. I am sexually active and you can be part of it if you want." Read body language. In commercials, the sex sells. It isn't there for any reason but to get someone to react. Since that is in the media, the person doing the teasing is safe. Do NOT believe for a minute that you being in your truck is safe (and even less so if it is a work truck with some sort of identifier on it).
To me, and this is just my take from someone who has been there and done that, OK?, you are playing with fire. I have had to fend off men I didn't intentionally try and attract and in more than one case my personal space was violated. I am lucky nothing more than touching and some exposure happened.
But again, please realize that your actions do reflect on others who are unintentional targets. Now maybe they frustration or miscommunication will be redirected toward me in another situation. You know the old "Hey I know you want it, you're all alike" syndrome. I don't want it. No GG here wants it. It doesn't take much to cause a wake up here. I have had those wake ups. I thought I was 100% in control. I wasn't.
I know you were having fun being out and doing what you "thought" GGs do. They don't after the age of 13 trust me. They spend a lot of time looking over their shoulder.
We aren't trying to be mean. we are trying to make you see how things could have gone south in a hurry. By all means go out, have fun but don't make it any more dangerous to yourself or others. You don't hear of the number of assaults in parking lots because they are common and the police won't publish them until someone is hurt or killed. And do realize that you are representing many many other people.
OK had to reply to this.
You do REALIZE right that TGs have lost their lives doing exactly what you are proud of Alisa doing. You do realize that it is a common reaction of men to hurt or kill a TG because they were "misled", right? You do realize that homophobia and transphobia are very common, right? If they knew they would have died? No if they know YOU could have died.
You all are scaring me here. Do you understand that the member who was recently attacked had a lot of training in how to defend themselves and they STILL ended up on the short end.
