I'm leaving this as a public post because I want people to see this. For reference, that could very easily have been me, many times at school, and once, on a train from London to Oxford in 1997. I survived. This is a reminder that not everyone is so lucky.

Scary and disgusting, sadly I'm in the kind of country where is *certainly* could happen.

What worries me is that you say this could have happened to you: really? Even in 1997? Crumbs, the world is nasty.

Yes, I was attacked on a train from London to Oxford by two men. It was motivated by homo/transphobia. I was very lucky to survive -- I'd called the police, and they were waiting on the platform at Reading when the train pulled in. The police physically pulled them off me.
