Power, vulnerability, and getting read

I got read this morning.  The circumstances aren't really relevant beyond setting the context. I had just come up out of the Metro and was walking the couple of blocks to my office when a man stopped me to ask a question. My answer didn't satisfy him and he became angry and closed in on me, close enough to pick up some subtle cue that caused him to suspect I was transgender.
