Not Trans-parent Enough
(I’m a male and identify as one but due to my slight frame and slightly longer than usual hair I’ve been mistaken for a girl before, from the back and side at least. However, my voice is surprisingly deep. I’m also Asian. I’m currently mixing a drink for another customer.)
Man: “Ay, baby, when do you get off tonight?” *he’s sitting a bit farther away and can only see my side*
Me: *ignores him thinking he’s talking to someone else*
Man: “Hey, come on! I asked you a question. Don’t ignore me!”
(At this point I’m done serving the first customer and, still not realizing he’s addressing me, go to organize a few things.)
Man: *moves closer to where I am and leans on the bar counter* “Come on, when do you get off? You’re Asian aren’t you? I love Asian girls. They’re so cute and obedient.”
(At this point I finally realize he’s mistaken me for a girl and turn around to address him.)
Me: “Are you talking to me? I’m not a—”
Man: *cuts me off and takes a step back* “S***! F***! YOU’RE ONE OF THEM F****** [slur]s, aren’t you!” *leans on the counter again* “You f****** disgust me, tricking men like me into f****** your kind!”
(The man then proceeded to turn around and walk away while I stared blankly after him.)
