Sorry but this sounds like het another one of those fantasy stories. Nice if true, but likely it didn't happen
• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

It's still nice to read. I want to imagine the world is like this, I want to imagine things are simple, at least for long enough to read a textpost story.
And she became president of the world.
The big dude? Albert Einstein
Obama was there. He clapped.
My best friend’s husband is very protective of me. We were at a friend’s house eating and drinking, when someone who we had not met came over. This guy was a friend of the host, and was already a bit drunk. I introduced myself to him, Tên tôi là Jessica. I really only know a few sentences in VN, but I try. Yeah, what is your real name? I respond Jessica. He asks over and over, meanwhile I can see the rage building in bestie’s husband. Finally, Anh says Her name is Jessica! You got a problem with that!? The asshole then gets real quiet. I knew in that moment that Anh was about to pound this drunk asshole into the ground, because the belligerent and aggressive asshole would not leave me alone.
The screen cap that was posted may be fake, who knows? But I remember that moment, from like 5 or so years ago, vividly. It was that very moment that I realized that they were not friends—they were the family that chose me.
Not sure why I am sharing this 😅
Thanks for sharing it.
🙂
Yeah I believe your story way more than I believe OP's story, for whatever that's worth
Thank you!
Fake AF
You can tell because there's no Targets in Canada. /s
Seen this a hundred times, but it never gets old…
Probably fake, but I like to believe it happened
The story flat out says the guy was just walking towards her and they stopped him before he could say anything to her.
..... How in the ever living fuck did they know he was about to harass her for being trans?
"Started coming for her" means harassing her, not literally moving in her direction.
Eh, that's a stretch.
Is it though?
In my neck of the woods (that means area where I live and has nothing to do with wooded areas), the phrase means the same thing and I interpreted it as such and that the asshole started to pop off on her (that means suddenly start talking angrily rather than whatever your mind may have conjured if you hadn't heard the phrase before).
It's very likely a wish fulfillment fantasy story, why would it have involved the asshole only walking towards her (which is possible to do with obvious intent, but still ... what would he be apologizing for later in the story?) when you can literally make up anything you want?
I think I interpreted your "stretch" comment appropriately ... If you meant that Catoblepas was literally becoming a Mr. Fantastic like superhero, then I have no idea how to respond to what your said and I apologize for the wall of text that makes no sense in context.
And the whole store stood up and clapped...
And the name of that human mountain guy?
Albert Einstein.
Albert Swolestein
and then joe biden came to give us all ice cream and kiss Einstein
Then Stars and Stripes Flags dropped all over, the US' National Anthem started playing and an eagle was heard in the background
Ron DeSantis was there too. He fell to his knees and said “My God…what have I done?” while weeping.
The whole thing sounds like the plot of one of those religious movies where the atheist repents at the last minute before their death because they finally realize it’s all part of god’s plan.
