I am a trans woman. I do not "pass" so I get abuse, threats and even assaulted. But I will not hide.
I am not ashamed to be seen as a 70+years old trans woman.
Woman: noun
Trans: adjective
Apart from the hate, I am living my best life. I harm no one.

A young woman came & asked me if I was all right and of course I wasn't. She asked me where I lived. And her boyfriend offered, then drove me home.
I've made myself a brew and I've settled, though in truth, still upset.
This is the 2nd attack in 10 days (I was abused on the tube)

I was waiting at the bus stop, and he just screamed at me. "You're not a woman. You're a man. You're a man. You're not a woman. You're not a woman" and tried to draw the attention of other people in the street screaming the same stuff.
So I took my phone out to record evidence.
