I am male 6’0” 230lb. I walked into a bathroom in Barnes and Noble. Tall black individual standing at the sink putting on lip gloss in feminine clothing. Glance for a fraction of a second, because ya know, “am I in the right bathroom? Yes there is a urinal there, 99% sure.” The sink was adjacent to the urinal. The person at the sink peeks around the corner of the wall a foot from my face and says “I wanna watch you piss.” “I would not feel comfortable with that, no.” They respond “if you look at me again, you’re gonna die.” I respond “I don’t know what you’re talking about” “you wanna fight?” They say. I say calmly “I have no problem with you.” “Well who were you talking to when you walked in then?” “Nobody” I say. “Exactly!” They reply and walk out.

It’s been a while since I was as furious as I was then. However I will not allow something like this define anyone I have not interacted with, and even not this individual. Because I don’t know what they’ve gone through in their lives.
