couple hours ago some guy at the grocery store noticed one of my trans pride pins and the conversation went a little something like the following -
guy: "oh you're one of the- the uh- what are they called.... oh! the transgenders? isn't it the first day of pride month? I'll pay for your snack!"
me: "oh no sir you really don't have to--"
guy, happy to do a good deed and be a functioning member of society: "oh, its my pleasure!" to which he went and put in his card at the self checkout lane.
guy, as i was walking out about to sob: have a great day!
me: crying
I didn't have the heart (or the chance) to tell this poor man it wasn't June anymore.
