I've heard stories from a couple cisgender female friends of mine about this kind of harassment. One encounter was fairly mild, having someone intentionally misgendering her, while the other friend now tries to avoid using public restrooms at all.

I'm here, if you want me on the list? I finished my Master’s thesis last year, on the subject of the textile tools from the Oseberg ship burial and their interpretations and possible uses. I've also researched Viking Age textiles and garments since 2009.

I think they believe that the fact that they support the current regime will make it loyal to them.
They forget that traitors will always be traitors to everyone but themselves.

My names for *that one* is "the orange one" and "no.666". He's not a president, but a thief and a scoundrel.
