Yesterday (Monday, February 13, 2012), while taking my daily three-and-three-quarter mile walk, I was at a corner waiting for the walk light to turn green. Three young men in their early twenties were at the same corner, and one of them asked me a question in that way that was clearly meant to make me uncomfortable: "Are you a dude or a woman?"

Obviously, at that moment in time their were enough visual clues for him to cause him wonder about which sex I am, and he was rude enough to ask me what he thought would be for me a humiliating question.

I could've ignored him, but I didn't.

That man had no right to confront you in such a way. I'm sorry that people these days lack respect for one another. On a brighter note, you handled that very well and you should be proud of yourself

Jay it's just a news story. You could comment on the linked blog if you want to give feedback to the woman who had to deal with the confrontation.
