microaggressions:

A bouncer/security guard at my favourite bar keeps touching my arm and back as he checks my ID.

He’s a big man, and I’m a petite 24 year old female rape victim. It’s not ‘significant’ enough to report, but reminds me I’m not safe anywhere, with anyone. I will always be regarded as lesser than male and therefore free to touch and be expected to take it as a compliment.
