Managed to take back some power today

[sacredsideshow]

     Last night (Thursday) I was harassed and made to feel afraid for my safety by a bunch of gender-phobic creeps. Today (Friday afternoon) I dealt witth the incident, but I’m still slightly shaken and unsure what to think about what happened.

I'm sorry to hear about the idiots, but glad to hear about the response by the police. And *very* glad you said something. Folks like that in front of the library make *me* nervous about passing them, since packs of people with loud, scary energy can generally find something to harass about almost anyone travelling by themselves.

Anytime you have a bunch of people in one place, they will find something to harass others about. I'm glad that you responded the way you did and that the police acted the way they should too.

As an additional footnote, I’’ve reported the incident to WRAP )Washtenaw Rainbow Action Project, the local glbt centre) and they may also be interested in helping wuth making the area a bit more safe again.
