Let me preface this story by letting y’all know that I’m a trans woman.
I went out with some cisgender friends tonight, and when they dropped me home around midnight, they accidentally drove some distance past my home before stopping the car. The guy at the wheel didn’t want to turn the car around and asked me to get out and cover that distance on foot.
There’s a 10 day long festival in progress in my country, so a lot more people are staying out late than usual. There were a couple of groups of men loitering about in the distance between the car and my home and it’s likely that at least some of them had been drinking because of the festivities.
As y’all might expect, I didn’t like the idea of having to walk past all of those potentially inebriated men alone, but my guy friends couldn’t understand why I hesitated to get out of the car. They got impatient but, just as I had given in and decided to risk it, the other woman in the car made them turn the car around and drive up to my home. I was very relieved and grateful for her intervention.
It’s not the first time she has helped me, either. One night, when I had an accident on my little scooter and fractured my elbow, she came to my rescue and drove me to the ER after I posted a message in my friends’ group chat. She then stayed with me for half the night until my family arrived.
I really don’t deserve her. 😭❤️
