Ever been in danger?

[pocoyo]

Just wondered if you'd ever been in danger due to being trans?

Experienced transphobia for example, or even the reverse... someone thought you were a gm and went for you? (Which of course is still unpleasant but preferable lol).
I have experienced the latter.... but at the last minute he realised I was female-bodied (eurk) and then he left me alone. Pr*ck lol (whew for not getting my head smashed in though.. he was huge & mental!).

Hasn't happened yet, but it's always at the back of my mind because it's happened to others I know.

Nope, that hasn't happened yet either, although that would be preferable but still not something I want. Stay safe, dude. :hugs:

Yes. That near street brawl a few weeks ago comes to mind.

Not yet. Fortunately, people on-campus tend to take me automatically as either male or... very butch lesbian, I guess. XD I hope it continues not to be such a problem one I'm out in the workforce.

I'm so very thankful I'm dealing with this will still in college. Really only two people have even commented in what might be interpreted as negative ways, and I know that's because colleges are just weirder than every day life. So yes, as of right now no danger for me. But I don't pass at all and am hardly out, so I guess that's no big surprise.

Not yet, but if the man in my local take-away dosn't stop calling my 'love', I might just get myself in trouble ;)

Hahaha!!! I know the flippin' feeling lmao.

Thanks dudes...

Lol don't worry Cap, I'm a little bit better at keeping my temper around idiots now... a little...

Oh yeah I remember that Das... meep!

QM hopefully they will just assume you're a guy when you start work...

Adam, I'm so sorry your "friend" turned out to be such an idiot.
:hugs:

Bi yeah college is kind of good for more unusual people, I discovered that when I went there and was suddenly cool and popular instead of the bullied outcast freak lol

[Abraxas]

Ohhhh yeah.
Well, when I was younger anyway, yeah I used to get into fights all the time with people who thought I was just the wimpiest little boy they'd ever seen. Which is probably true.
These days I tend to mind my own business and keep my mouth shut as much as possible. And I always try to project an air of 'This person does not like being spoken to.'

[Evert]

Never hitted, never hit on. Although someone threatened to kick my head in for flirting with his girl. So I guess I was a thread... :heehee:

But it's always in the back of my head, transphobia. What if I talk to the wrong guy someday?

[Dasein9]

The fluffy bunny (Or is that a puppy or a guinea pig?) avatar really doesn't project that air in the least.

I always figured we wouldn't be in much dainger of transphobically monivated physical violence from gm. I meen, if they see as as men, they have no problem with it, if they see as as girls, they're unliklly to hit us (the whole 'never hit a woman' thing. Although... I was always an exeption to that rule at school). gg on the other hand are a whole diferent ketle of fish (oh look! fish!)

lol yeah it's a bunny, and it was just so damn CUTE! *snort* Ehhh, I can be less antisocial on here; I know you guys aren't gonna beat me up and steal my wallet. :happy:

[Dasein9]

Yeh. Until recently, I knew there wasn't anything in it.

Now, on the other hand...



:D

[happyfish]

Not yet, fortunately. It's also in the back of my mind a lot.

gg on the other hand are a whole diferent ketle of fish (oh look! fish!)
What? Where? You called? :heehee:

[John]

Get out of that kettle this instant young man! :devil: We boys over this side of the pond need to make some teeeeee

Yar, that sort of thing has happened a couple of times. Usually they suss out that I'm a "girl" so they go away. If I'm with Andrew we're pretty likely to get verbal abuse and threats and stuff, 'cos they think we're gay. It really really sucks. Freaking jerks.
If they thought we were girls it'd be different. Actually, at a work party, where Andrew works, a bunch of people DID think we were two girls, because Andrew's got long hair. Damn that was funny. And when schoolgirls think we're guys and they giggle and perv on us, that's amusing too.
Anyway, I'd rather look like a boy than a girl. I'd rather be a target for morons after a fist fight than be a target for some sort of predator.

[xmyheart]

I've never been in danger. Most people when they find out that I'm a girl are shocked o_o. And it's funny sometimes because they were interested in me lol But the only danger I've ever been in is when I was sitting in a bus with my ex at the time and this homeless dirty guy kept looking at my ex and smiling so I stood up and said " what are you looking at " except add alot of cusswords in between there haha and he pulled a knife on me :straightface: .
