So , This actually happened today-
So , Today I went to 711 , on my own. I'm a female , but i'm genderfluid , and today I was feeling extremely masculine , so I went there in black ripped jeans , a wife b34t3r , and black hightops. I was also wearing a mask , and my " F.R.I.E.N.D.S " baseball cap [ my favorite one ] , and my hair was straightened , and since it's short , from behind , I looked like a boy. This is important to the story. Also , i'm middle school age , but I look like i'm a highschooler so , I guess i could pass as a young hire ? anyways , now that we have the backstory , i'm gonna start the actual juicy part. So , I get to the store, grabbing snacks and whatnot , and that's when I hear the infamous " AhEm !- " I ignore it bc i'm introverted , and frankly , i don't like confrontation- Anyways , I hear it again , and I turn to see a lady who looked to be in her mid 40's and was much taller then me. I believe she was around 5'10. I'm almost 5'2. I say " Hello Ma'am ! Am I perhaps in your way ? " To which I'm met with , " No. I need to know why there's no-one in the front. I'm trying to check out. " I'm visibly confused, and pull down my mask , considering I was starting to get nervous , and could barely breathe. I reply with ; " I'm sorry ma'am but- " then she cuts me off and is like " exCUSE ME- YOU ARE A YOUNG LADY WHY THE HELL DO YOU LOOK LIKE A BOY ??? " And , naturally , considering yelling is a major trigger , I start tearing up , and stuttering. Not just that , but I'm visibly shaking. " Ma'am , I'm just dressing how I feel comfortable ..- " Once again , I'm cut off by her screaming. " YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRESSED LIKE THAT. GIRLS WEAR DRESSES , AND PINK. YOUR MOTHER SHOULD BE ASHAMED. ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE TR^NN!3$ ??? " At this point , i start crying. AND THEN THIS LADY HAS THE AUDACITY TO GRAB MY HAT , THROW IT ON THE GROUND , AND STOMP ON IT. I go to grab it from the floor , but she like- She stomps on my hand , and I let out a pained scream , gaining the attention of the cashier that JUST came out the bathroom. The cashier questions her , and she has the AUDACITY to be like " Oh , I'm her mother. I'm disciplining her. " I dont even say anything- I just grab my hat while the karen was distracted , and /bolt/ outta there. I don't get snacks , nor revenge , so no happy ending there.
