(roll-punches Michelia's arm) damn you crazy sassy bitch! hahahha
Girl I bet he was so pissed that his 4 chins were shaking in anger as he gritted his teeth.
What I would not give to see the look on his face.
See, people think TG are easy targets but when we strike back, it can be really embarrasing to the attacker. I bet that guy pee'd his pants he was so aggrivated.
TG girls - +1
It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
good for you.
OK, so I DO admire your courage BUT. . .
That could have gone SOOO wrong. . .
If that guy had come unglued and started pounding on you in front of your son, would it have been worth the momentary satisfaction of having told him off? Call me a coward, but I don't think I'd ever intentionaly do anything while dressed that might encourage an altercation.
There is a thread somewhere a while back with me telling this story. I happened to be mostly dressed and my son wanted me to get him a toy at Ross. He had done something special and deserved it. This lady and her daughter followed us around the store and filmed us. I did not do too much about it but I was furious.Michelia, I absolutely love the way you handled the taco bell guy

You are so right. I would not have done this at the counter. I was at the drive-in in the safety of my car and the guy had no way to get at me. But it still scared the wits out of me...

I agree with Lee and Natalia on mentioning it to management, but it does bring up the question of what was said versus the intent behind it. None of us would want to be called sir in that manner, but the Fat Slob could argue for himself if it came down to it. Unfortunately, TGism may not be the type of thing that gets discussed by fast food joints.
At any rate well done on the comebacker! mj (Cassie)
Why not? If that fat **** was in as bad a shape as I am imagining, he probably couldn't move very fast anyways, and who is to say if Michelia would not have kicked his ass?
Being CD does not make one a wimp.
Look, many people, even our own, seem to want to deny us being who we are, constantly reminding us of our inability to pass or that we are still "men". So why not take advnatage of it?
This whole thought of "Well you don't pass, you are male, and you might get your butt kicked" seems a double standard.
It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
I find that you can find jerks anywhere...including any place that employees people.
It just depends on how well the employer filters of the jerk employees.
Really, now. I rather be thought of as a wimp than end up in jail enfemme. It really would not have been a smart thing to have done if I had been at the counter. I do need to learn how to stand up for myself more. But violence is not the answer.
The other thing is one can really get hurt in a fight and I have to take care of that little boy and my SO's girl. At my age, one has learned, like Kimberly says, that those small moments of satisfaction are just not worth it. We have learned to keep our eyes on the long term things that count.
If an idiot says anything to me, I usually do not respond or I just walk out. Now, if someone lays a hand on me, then they might get a face full of mace. That is another story...
I really did not mean for this thread to become an example of how to respond in these type of situations. I was just telling a story the way it happened. It turned out for the best and it did feel great. I admit it. And like I said, I also felt a bit guilty about it.
Love,
Michelia

You know that WOULD make a difference. LOL If things got ugly you would have the choice to simply leave.
Agreed. I intensely dislike being refereed to as a "sissy" for that very reason. I may be a cross dresser, but I've served my country for more than a decade and I do the heavy lifting and dirty work around my home. I am not a wimp or a sissy
Having said that, I still don't see that not escalating a situation to the point of an altercation would make me a wimp. Your post sort of gives me the impression that you would have happily taken him on in a fist fight Nicole, and that would have ended with you in jail, and all of us reading about you on the internet, clucking our tongues and saying "Damn, there is another TG making us look bad." Sure, in reality there was some provocation there, but by the time the media got a hold of it, it would have read "Man in drag beat helpless fast food server. The victim was taken to the hospital by ambulance . . . "
I hope your not implying that this is what my post said? My point is simple, and a concept that also applies to the male side of my life so there is no double standard. There are things worth fighting for and there times and places for doing it, but they are both few and far between. I don't consider risking a fist fight in a public place because I was called "Sir" to rise to that level. If you do, then you must live a very exciting life . . .
Maybe he just wanted you to know that you didnt fool him. When a persons sexuality is threaten they get a little weird. I like to give people the benifit of doubt.
Worth mentioning to 1-800-TACO BELL. (That's their complaint line) They throw free food coupons at ya for any issues....
OMG!!! That is the funniest thing I have read in days!
I (personally) wouldn't have stopped there, had my partner been the one treated that way, I would have demanded the manager and if I didn't get a suitable response I would have been in contact with GLAAD and the News, but hey, that is just me, LOL
But, you did a GREAT job! Proud of you

A lot of people have said don't respond to unkindness with unkindness, but your put-down was a peach! Don't feel guilty.
