You just don't understand

Then come back. I'll wait.

I didn't understand either. Heck, I'd walked late at night thru bad areas of town and I wasn't that worried.

Then came the day a friend gave me a ride to an NWGA (NorthWest Gender Alliance) meeting. I'd gotten rides before, and as I'd done a number of times before, I went en femme.

This time was different. I didn't want to go to the restaurant that most of the others were going to after the meeting. Mostly because I was didn't have the spare cash, and I didn't want to mooch.

And it turned out that none of the people who weren't going to the restaurant were going anywhere near where I lived.

It was already dark by them. I was about three-quarters of a mile from the bus line that ran past my place. So I started walking.

At first I wasn't nervous. Then I saw a group of young men a couple block ahead. I went from nervous to not-quite-terrified. I realized that it was possible that I'd pass. In which case I might get assaulted being a lone "female". And if the assault went far enough and they found out I was physically male? I'd be lucky if I only got raped or beaten. Getting killed was definitely a possibility.

If I didn't pass, the possibility of being beaten or worse was there again.
