Person- Short description (English)
A trans woman in a company of friends spent an evening at a cafe. At some point, an unknown man suddenly began to pay attention to the victim. The trans-girl danced with an unknown guy, talked pleasantly. At one point, the trans girl felt pressure and insistent behavior from the unknown person. Then the girl decided to make a coming out to unknown guy, in the hope that he would stop paying attention to her. But unfortunately, the stranger led a crowd of about 10 to her who surrounded the trans woman and her friends. A crowd of unknown men began to insult the victim, point a finger, scream at the top of their voice that there is a trans person in the cafe. Fortunately, the administration in the cafe was adequate enough. They helped the company affected to go out with a rapid response team through the back entrance. The trans woman was in danger, depressed and emotionally drained. She wanted to leave the country and go where she could live happily, without fleeing and not saving her life from the transphobic people. She cried the next day and did not want to live in this non-trans friendly world.
