Weird things people say...

The woman in question actually has asked to see my junk, several times, which I find highly offensive, and which prompted my comment.  Even more offensive was the day she put her hands on my hips to prove how wide they were.  NO one touches me, especially not in that region of my body.  I hate drama, most of the time I wish people would leave me along and not notice me, which is why this has been stressing me out so much.  Being trans doesn't help at all with the not being noticed thing.     I did the right thing--I reported her and didn't do anything rude.

Laying your hands on ANYONE in that way is extremely inappropriate.  The fact that she actually touched you like that horrifies me.  I'm glad you reported her.

(And asking you see your junk?  Really?  Did god tell her she should take a look? )

OK, now she's gone WAAAAAYYY beyond obnoxious if she's touched you.

I had 2 people get very touchy feely with me in early transition who turned out to be lesbians who were really REALLY into butches and I wasn't out or passing yet.  Made me very uncomfortable.  Fortunately one quit and the other was fired.  Management knew but hadn't made their announcement.  NOBODY touches me.

Makes me want to learn martial arts.  Seriously.

That is pretty extreme and uncalled for. You did the right thing. Hopefully she will either disappear or at the very least leave you alone to be who you are in peace. She sounds more like a religious fanatic than an actual christian.

I know it would be hard to prove but touching someone like that is tantamount to assault.

Keep reporting her. Time after time.

A really horrible person.

You did the right thing!   It's always the super-religious "god doesn't want..." types who want to see your junk, has anyone else noticed this?  I call shenanigans on it; I really think it's either for ammunition to degrade you more or because they are sexually confused.  And on the eighth day God said "Let me see your junk."  And it was good.   

If she asks to see again, you could tell her that you usually get dinner first  or thanks but you're not looking for anything serious right now     It re-emphasizes that (duh) when someone wants to see/touch your body like that, it's because they want to have sex with you. 

And don't be too down on yourself for transitioning.  I will let you in on a secret:  I had really bad coping skills when I first started my transition.  But over time, they developed well and I found that as long as I kept my cool that I wound up on top. People quit, people get themselves fired, people talk themselves out of advancement because of their pettiness.  You are better than that!  Keep your cool, be the better man, and you'll do fine.  =)

Zomg!  Perfect responses!     I'll have to remember that for next time.  Since I talked to the teacher, the woman has only showed up one day since and left that day in a very bad mood.  Haven't seen her since.  But I will remember those responses in case something similar happens again.

Haha thanks!  Went to a place once where stuff like this was pretty well encouraged.  I've done lots of responses like that ("Why, you wanna ask me out?"), but I have no shame.

If only I believed in God...

I remember House quote: "Talking to God is usual, having God talk to you is psychosis." or mental illness, forgot which one ^^
