After reading about the mistreatment of the young lady in SE Oklahoma I felt everyone needed to see this one.
Look real close at the cowboy and you'll see he is wearing chaps and spurs The cashier is Tammy and the blonde is assistant manager Sherry. Elk City had it's Rodeo Parade Saturday and yeah once again the whole area gets swamped with cowboys and cowgirls and all the young uns and horses of course. Not the same as it was fifty years ago but then nothing ever is. No stage coaches, no mule teams, no horse drawn wagons, no Indians in all their finery, and very few round up clubs..., I stopped going a few years back along with going out to watch the rodeo. Men walking down the sidewalks with chaps and spurs was a common sight every day not just once a year. The "stables" were two blocks off main street. Cars, pickups with their windows down, keys left in the ignition, no one locked their doors when they left home...,
God, I'm getting old. I need to be recycled.

People are pretty nice most places you go
until they turn on you.

Yep
I am of Chinese extraction but born and raised in the US and man the absolute crap I got periodically from Caucasians growing up in NY, the stereotyping, the mockery of my spoken language. I am not protected by White, Cisgendered or Heterosexual, or male privilege, making me feeling even more misanthropic. People will turn on you at the most unexpected moments, hurting even more when ones guard is down.
But of all, being trans seems to be a universal invite to give so many people to feel they have the right to shit on you.
Don't think anything like that ever happened where I grew up ...
We'd never have trusted those aisles around OUR horses ... all that metal might scratch. Now nice wooden shelving? Maybe.
As far as needing a leash, at least half the cutting horses in the county were trained to heel. I knew a few that hadn't seen a bridle since they were saddle-broke.
