Well a little honk is innocent or wave but following you into the park? Really? That's really kind of creepy.

Glad you're OK but stay away from unlit parks.Take up some self defense,you don't need to be big or strong.A trick I did once when a creepy looking guy followed me after finishing late on the buses was to pick up my phone and say loudly"Hey Mike get me a beer ready I'll be there in 2 minutes" which got rid of him

I am so sorry Grace. What a terrible ordeal for you.

I had a similar experience, also late at night, in a place where I too had traveled before. I was not physically assaulted, and I didn't realize until weeks later what a profound effect that incident had on me. I sort of shut down emotionally, blaming myself for being so stupid and tried to put it out of my mind. I began to experience flashbacks and bad dreams and finally sought help from a therapist who treated me for PTSD. Please take care of yourself and realize that you may need to seek professional help to deal with this experience.

What would happen if you just turned around to your pursuer and yelled in your deepest bellowing man voice "HEY MAN, **** OFF"

Then dash into the bushes while he stands there disoriented?

He would need to take the time to re-evaluate his entire life and sexuality, while you make your getaway.

Ugh, I'm sorry to read that, Grace. I'm glad you're safe. I have to wonder, what goes through people's heads when they do stuff like this? Especially at 8:30, that's not even that late.

This made me laugh out loud.  Do I have a man voice?  I haven't used it in nearly 16 years... I fear I might sound like Urkel from the TV show "Family Matters" if I tried.   :D

Welcome to the fun side of womanity. Most men simply have no idea of how they come across--and some do and cultivate the intimidation. This guy could have gone either way.

Living as a woman, I was hooted at, hit on, or treated as a sex object at parties, in a crowded lecture hall by a fellow student, at work by fellow employees and visiting strangers, at automotive repair facilities, at a job interview by my would-be boss, in my own car when I agreed to drive home a coworker's cousin, at a gas station at ten p.m. while I was wearing a heavy ranch coat, and on random street corners. Once, a man asked my then-boyfriend how much I cost. He was persistent and hung around for quite some time. If I had been alone, I would have been petrified. As it was, I was pretty damn scared.

Looking back, I see that I was "cute" but not conventionally attractive. I did have a good body, freckles (some men like them), nice blond hair, and a great chest. Truly good-looking women get it ten times worse. Watch yourself.

Someone in the community once told me that because I'd been molested and raped, I should be attracted to women, not men. Nope, I'm wired the way I'm wired. Over the years, I have met many good and decent men and only a few random creeps. Unfortunately, the creeps tend to loom large in one's memory.

Grace, so glad you're ok! Your story is so sinister... It's amazing that this thing happens so often in Australia. I felt safer in Europe strangely... Please take care!

I'm so glad you're safe Grace.
Don't live in fear, but take sensible precautions, there are too many nut jobs in Sydney these days, and even though they are the minority, you still have to keep them in mind.  Sad to say, this small minority ruins things for the majority of us.

Take care, I hope this won't happen again anytime soon.

So glad you are ok Grace!  I can't even imagine the feeling of being stalked like that.  Not having to worry about safety all the time is something men definitely take for granted.

Maybe not trans men so much.

I was still a little nervous cutting through a neighborhood park on my way home from the LGBT center when I was in the habit of walking home from meetings at night. But not as nervous as I probably would have been pre-transition. However, I was never afraid when I left campus at night. I guess I figured that if some random creep was out looking for marks, he could do much better than a butch-looking woman in pants and Rockports, carrying a heavy briefcase that could do serious damage if swung with full force against an assailant.

But old habits die hard. I dropped by a grocery store the other evening and parked near the edge of the lot so I could easily find my car. Another car was parked a couple of spaces down. I got into my vehicle and was messing around with CDs when two tall, somewhat intoxicated men arrived at the other car, brandishing cases of beer and yelling obnoxiously. I instantly locked the doors, forgot about the CD, and got the hell out of there. One short, nerdy-looking fellow in a froofy Swedish car is an easy mark for two guys like them, but that was my SECOND thought. My first was not a thought at all but the usual warning bells that I used to get when I thought I saw movement in the back of my car as I was approaching from across the parking lot.
