People can be dicks, but some are awesome. True S

I know that this is a sex website and people come here to get off and stuff, god knows I do, but today something happened that really, really pissed me off. so I'm visiting family this weekend and I have a really good friend who I've known for many many years now, (we'll call her J). J is a pre-op transsexual and in all honesty (not just saying cause she's my friend) she looks, talks, and acts like a female. if she didn't tell you she was trans you wouldn't know. anyways her and I go and get some iced coffee at Starbucks and we sit outside, there's quit a few people out there since its a nice day but there mostly high school k**s and one elderly couple. so we start talking about what we've been up to and how my wolf kiba is, you know just two friends that haven't seen each other for a while catching up. I asked how she has been doing with her hormones cause last time she told me she was having problems with her weight. she tells me she's doing better and that she's been talking to others like her on a website that are giving her some good advise and encouragement to help with the transition. well I guess that a group of high school k**s at the next table over heard the conversation and they keep looking over at J giving her strange looks. when I looked and saw a girl make a face towards her that made it seem like J was gross I got irritated. I look at the girl and say "is there a problem or do you always make stupid faces after listening in on someone else's conversation?" I didn't have to say it like that but she pissed me off. the rest of the group turned and looked at me and the first thing they look at are my tattoos, there not scary gang tats and I don't have too many but I guess someone could think there gang related cause of the ones on my hands and the bullets and skulls and stuff, but there tats that represent my time in the military. anyways they look at my tats and my rather pissed off face and two of the guys turn back and so do the other girls. I'm still looking at the girl as if I'm waiting for an answer and she seemed to regain her composure and has this look on her face that every guy knows, the "who the fuck...oh you didn't just say that" look. J looks at me and she says "not today please, lets just leave." for a second I was going to say no fuck that, but I know that she's been through this enough times and she's just tired of it, which is why I was so pissed but I just put the hate I had for the girl aside and we both got up to leave. but right when we got up the girl said "yeah leave so I don't get sick from looking at your tranny girlfriend." I just stop dead in my tracks and think that this bitches face is going through that fucking table. J who knows me all to well grabs my arm and tries to pull me away, I was just about to protest when the elderly couple got up and started to go off on the girl, and her friends. the man said " how dare you say such things to this young lady, you think she wants to hear you say stupid crap like that? you should feel embarrassed for making yourself look this stupid." the elderly woman went into the Starbucks and the older guy went on, "your lucky this young man has self control because if I was him I would have whooped you something good." the girl and her friends are just sitting there dumbfounded as this guy give them a piece of his mind, and then the lady comes back out with a guy in a Starbucks uniform and says, "this girl right here is the one that I was telling you about." the guy looks at the group and then at J and me and then tells the group, "I'm going to have to ask you all to leave, we don't tolerate verbal or physical harassment to other customers." I'm standing there like "holy shit this is new," and to my surprise the k**s got up even the bitch girl after a moments hesitation and started to leave grumbling as they left. the old man said, "learn some damn manners you little shits." I turn and look and J and she has this look of surprise on her face like she couldn't believe that just happened. I turn back to the Starbucks guy and the elderly couple and say thank you I was about to loose it. they say it was no problem and the guy went back into the store after apologizing and stuff, guess he didn't want anything negative coming back to the store. so anyways to wrap this up the couple ask if we would like to sit with them and we get to know them and found out that there grandson is gay and they hated how people at his school and stuff treated him and they just don't like seeing that kind of stuff, they were saying how beautiful J was and they were just really cool. I'm glad they were there cause things were going to get really bad if they weren't. I just hate how people can say shit like that to another person, just keep it to yourself. people going through a transition from male to female or vice versa are going through enough as it is, they don't need you to spew your shit and make things even worse. be encouraging, give a compliment, cause it takes courage to make the decision to make the transition knowing the amount of hate there will be for doing it. its sad cause I know if that girl would have talked to J for only a few minutes without being a bitch she would have seen that she is the nicest person you'll ever meet and they might have become friends. I was raised to be open to all races, genders, and sexual preferences, and glad I was and am cause if I wasn't I wouldn't have as many good friends like J. anyway thank for reading this I just felt like I had to get this out. if J says its cool I'll post a pic of her on here so you can see what I'm talking about. have a good day.
