I went to my favorite cafe today, to recover from the toil of living in a hypercapitalist society. I noticed a guy reading a book by Jordan Peterson on the next table. After I finished my coffee I went to pay at the counter and the guy was also behind me.

Now, normally I pass very well. So, when I looked back the guy told me to smile I was a little irritated, but I ignored him and turned around towards the cashier. I was preparing in mind how to respond if he tells me to smile again, when he said something absolutely horrible to me. “You will never be a woman.”

I was so shocked that I was speechless for a moment. Then I told him how misogynistic and transphobic that sentence was. He started arguing with me and repeating that sentence. Fortunately, my cashier got in the argument and asked him to leave.

The guy left in a huff, but I don’t think he will abandon that cafe and will come back again.
