I got in a lot of fights growing up. I usually lost them, because I usually started them. But the ones I didn't start I also didn't lose.
This guy had his heels to a curb. I could have fought back, one push and he would have gone ass over teakettle and cracked his head.
I didn't want to be responsible for that, so I let him choke me. His partner took my wallet and rifled through it. Eventually he let go.
I wasn't out to anyone but close friends when this happened. I hadn't started HRT yet, but I had the appointment booked.
The next day, I put on my cutest outfit and walked into my boss's office and came out. I had no idea what to expect in any context.
That moment made me tired of violence. It made me realize that I didn't want to go another day hiding.
When I see what happens at Trump rallies with protestors, I am reminded of that moment--a white, angry, blue collar worker choking me.
This violence is already in our communities, simmering, the pressure building. Whatever happens Tuesday, I am terrified of it exploding.
If Hillary wins, we can't congratulate ourselves for a job well done. We have to address the rage that is fomenting in our communities.
That towing company, by the way? It's one block from my house, on my street. I pass it every day. He drives by my house every day.
