Hey ladies, today I went to a bakery to buy a cake for my partner's birthday. After I had bought it, the shop worker told me "it's so wonderful that men are able to express themselves how they like now." She looked ancient and she looked about 90, although she clearly wasn't that old as she was still working. I think she thought she would come accross as a clueless old lady, but I saw through this and could tell she was a TERF. She had this annoying smug TERF smirk on her face and she put this annoying emphasis on the word men. It pissed me off and made me so angry. I hate how old people try and hide their hate behind pretending to be clueless and ignorant. When noone could be that ignorant. It was also so obvious I was a woman, I was wearing a full face of makeup, have been on HRT for a year and now have visible boobs and my cleavage was very much on display, I was wearing a skirt and tights, and had long hair. I don't know how she could think I was a man. She was clearly a TERF trying to ruin my day. I was angry but I stayed calm and calmy said I was in fact a woman. She had a look of clearly fake surprise on her face.
Behind me waiting a the queue was a cis man, who looked about 40, and a young girl who looked about 6 and was presumably his daughter. He then said in a mocking tone in response to me stating I was a woman, "you're clearly not." I hated that he thought it was ok to mock me and my identity and was almost laughing at me. I was so angry and, even though I wanted to punch him in the face, I stayed calm and stated again that I was a woman and explained that trans women are women. He again tried to mock me and he was like "just cause you got makeup on don't make you a woman, you're clearly a man. Deal with it." I was so angry at this point but I managed to control myself. I think cause he had his daughter with him made me feel like I had to set an example to her. I asked him why he felt the need to do this and he accused me of "yelling" at the old lady and he was "standing up for her," which was just a blatant lie. Then his daughter randomly started crying. She was clearly extremely spoilt and this was why. However he blamed me for this, even though all I was doing was defending myself against blatant transphobia. Then the old lady, who had previously appeared a bit detached from reality and in somewhat of a trance, suddenly sprung to life and started shouting at me to get out. She was shouting at me and not this man, even though he had been constantly provoking me and mocking me. I decided to leave as I didn't want to stay there anymore.
It just pisses me off that we have to deal with hate crimes like this on a daily basis and noone cares and will do anything about it. I want to report it to the police, but I know from experience that they won't do anything about it. It also pisses me off that he did this when his daughter was right there. What kind of example does it set to her and it makes her think this kinda behaviour is acceptable. I feel sorry for her that she has him as a father as he is just cruel and nasty and she is being raised to think this is ok. Also she just seemed so spoilt and I hate that our society thinks it's ok to raise a child to think this much hate is ok. Just feel pissed off with the whole thing and also it just shows that now thanks to the fucking government being transphobic cunts trying to take away our rights, that this is spreading so quickly into society and there are so many more vile hate crimes like this
