One of my fondest memories is from when I was 17. I was going into a small town gas station convenience shop at night to buy an orange soda. I brought it up to checkout and the lovely and awesome transfem working the counter smiled, looked me in the eye, and asked “Do you want to learn how to open a bottle with a lighter?”
Of course I said yes, and then she let me take another orange soda that I could take home. That was the first and last time I ever saw her. I hope she’s out there living a good life <3
