So, I'm not what one might call 'conventionally attractive'. I'm 5'8 and built like a linebacker. In women's bathrooms I get scared looks from other women, and that makes me a bit sad, because if anything untoward were ever to occur in a public restroom, I'd fight to protect anyone who was being attacked f I needed to. So generally women mistake me for a man, or maybe they're afraid…

I was on a boat from Bali to Lombok with my friend. we were on the deck at the very back and it was super windy and the sea was really rough so you couldn't get up or move. a local guy who worked on the boat sat next to me and started stroking my hair and calling me sexy.

I was at a party and this guy locked me in a room and held me down onto the floor and started kissing my neck and kept kissing me even though I told him to stop multiple times. I was scared and in shock that someone could do this to me.

I have one event that doesn't sit well with me to this day. I have no problem standing up in my community, in my workplace etc. But, we had a group of women from my federal agency all spending a long weekend in Las Vegas once. We were having a great time after a show, walking down the strip, and suddenly we noticed a confrontation in front of us. A…

Hello. I just wanted to report ongoing harassment I experienced in Ladner over the years that included people coming after me with weapons and getting chased by a truck. A lot of people were around when these instances happened and just looked the other way. I've had death threats, rape threats and lots of homophobic slurs. Most people I tried to talk to about it couldn't believe that would happen…

I hate that feeling. These kids who don't know me,…

Today I went to the bank to make a deposit for my job, and as I was leaving a man who was waiting in line yelled across the bank, “have a nice day, the squats are working!” I turned around and my immediate murmured response was “thank you”....
