I am, but mostly at night walking home from the bar or in the bar's washroom. When men drink they tend to be aggressive. I worry because I often come across as a gay man, which is what they might take offends to. I'm well-tattooed and pierced, and I think this gives me street cred. I also can put on a hostile air, which helps. I'm afraid most in the washroom, being found out to have the 'wrong equipment', and assaulted sexually. I've experienced sexual assault as a female, and just don't think I'd make it through another assault.
But, I'm getting more brazen, realizing I have just as much of a right to be free and human whenever I want. Last weekend at the bar, I went into the washroom, and of course there was only one stall. The door was kind of ripped off. I was like, '->-bleeped-<- it', and pulled my pants down and peed even with a couple of men in there. I think confidence takes you far. I went per twice that night. Men are so anxious in washrooms, they seriously only watch their own ->-bleeped-<- and do not make eye contact. It's been eight years of being transitioned, so I'm glad I'm finally taking up space.
