In the past week, I've had three other transmen in my various circles tell me about being followed in a public place in my state (not even in the same parts of the state, mind you) being harassed by someone with their hand on their open carry gun. Unfortunately I feel like we're going to be seeing more of this shit. I'm trying to be careful with where I go in general but I've gotten especially homebound since June started.
I'm so sorry. You deserve to be able to life your life without fearing for your safety. Being followed around publicly is menacing enough, even without firearms in the equation.
