egotisticalgold: Recently I faced an issue from a guy throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t figure out if I was a girl or a boy. He made the whole restaurant listen up while he asked me my gender. The old me would of started crying or becoming defensive instead I questioned him about my gender and why it mattered to him and he replied by saying “Because it does… The Bible said you shouldn’t be gay”. I asked him more about his beliefs and because he couldn’t answer the questions about the root of his beliefs he got flustered and followed me outside and tried to fight me and then also throwing a drink in my direction. Again, I remained calm looked him in the eye and walked away because I am sure of who I am, the beliefs I hold and the future I’m building for myself. The opinion of others should never validate you, sway your judgement, or change you. Only you are allowed to be who you are, so I say stay strong in the face of ignorance, your light will defend you. -- source link
