I’m devastated that this happened to you. You are so brave to share this. It’s important work you are doing by sharing this horrible experience and waking people up. Hang in there.
So sad the some can’t live and let live. Thanks for sharing.
Nobody should be attacked for simply existing in public.
That’s what makes the bystanders’ silence so heavy — the harm wasn’t only the punch, it was everyone who chose not to protect him.
That’s right. You’d think someone would have called 911. I wish that transperson would have beat the living dog shit outta that coward.

You said it clearly: sharing something this horrible is important work because it makes people face what happened instead of looking away.
He should not have had to carry any of this, but his decision to speak about it matters.
