Man retaliates against transphobe, gets them kicked out From A Bar
Occasionally, the best defense is an upright offense. Right? Most especially when it comes to those situations where you know for sure that there can’t possibly be any common-sense dialogue.
This is a great example of this principle. It involves a transgender dad who was “accused” of being trans in a bar in the southern US. Immediately after this happened, the father turned the tables on the offensive customer and labeled him as an ‘agent of Satan,’ leading to his expulsion from the establishment.
Sometimes only way one may be taught a lesson is by throwing their own words right back at them at their level
A child talked about how his / her father had destroyed a bigot in the bar using his own words against him
We’re currently down south visiting relatives. When we went out for lunch my dad (ftm) had to use the restroom. I don’t know how but some guy there figured out he was trans and ran up to tell the bartender and get my dad kicked out.
Instead of trying to win that argument in a bar full of Southerners, it decided to go an opposite way. For example, he even let his southern blood boil and blasted the man for “calling him transgender”, invoking that the guy should be thrown out of the establishment because he belonged to Satan’s gang. In short, it worked. He got the other guy and his family kicked out and got a free beer for himself.
I thought this sub would appreciate that.
Also, gotta mention here that my dad has been trans for 45 years and is stealthy as fuck so I have no idea how unless the guy just straight up looked over the stall door there is no possible way to tell.
He wormed out of the circumstances well that the harasser was kicked out while he got a free glass of drink for his troubles.
Some people love drama like an antagonist in a story about a southern man finding someone’s gender orientation days after they meet in a bathroom.
The term “passing” is used to describe a person who is perceived as the gender they identify with. The antagonist’s behavior should be considered suspicious, especially in a public bathroom.
It is the Southern culture of politeness that is being examined in an “a-hole experiment” which exposes how Southerners are more prone to getting angry when insulted due to their value for honor and expectations of being treated a certain way. Negative consequences often come with being overly polite because failure to conform to these norms can be interpreted as disrespect.
The story reveals different reactions from the North and South towards abusive language with Southerners demonstrating higher levels of defensiveness. The story has a father who skillfully confronts bigots using great strategy while receiving support from friends. It emphasizes why allies must intervene against bigotry in public.
The article mentions SPLC as one of the avenues to explore in fighting bigotry and obtaining advice on it. This was five days ago according to the post, which was well received as a fair revenge towards the wrong-doer. Readers are also asked about their experiences with failed Southern niceties or any encounters between them and racists.
