We Are Under A Microscope

Everything that we do is going to be brought to light by the opposition even if it is not true. Whether it is the way we look or dress or behave it will be used against us.

When all the microaggressions build up all day and then someone mis-gender you…
Transgender woman loses it when shop worker calls her ‘sir’ (video)

A transgender shopper went volcanic on a game store worker when the employee used the wrong title to address her.

The unidentified woman exploded on the male employee, who made the innocuous error of addressing her as “sir” instead of “ma’am” at a GameStop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The transgender customer had just purchased an item when the fireworks popped off.

Because the transgender woman considered “sir” an indignity, she demanded her money back.

“I don’t want credit, you’re going to give me my f—ing money back,” the customer fired off at high decibels, according to Christian Journal Media.

At one point, the transgender customer even demanded the male shop employee walk outside with her so that she could show him what “a sir” really is.

After the customer finished her rant, she stormed toward the door and deliberately toppled a display of toys. But she was just getting started because she then walked back toward the counter to continue the tirade.
We don’t know what lead up to her frustration but my guess this was cumulation of being harassed all day.

It is hard to get by in a world that is trying to force you into a binary, whether is a “sir” that you know by the tone of voice is a dig, or the stares, or taking your picture without your permission they all pile up and sometimes it becomes one too many.

While I don’t condone violence it becomes understandable after a day of provocations.
