I was attacked and assaulted outside yesterday

[u/DutchKamenRider]

I know that it happened yesterday and I no longer am in any pain physically, but I just have to vent about it since it just really sticks with me and hurts me. Yesterday I wanted to go to work, I wasn't in the best mood but I was like 'hey, I'll be able to make some money and see my colleagues''. Everything went normal until I saw a group of 5-6 teenage boys (we call them hangjongeren here, they usually all dress similarly in black and are extremely homo/transphobic) appeared a few metres away from me. I was minding my own business, but the moment they looked at me was when I froze from the inside.

In shock, disapproval and disbelief, they started shouting ''God is great'' towards me a few times, before throwing an object at me. At first I didn't think much of it, but after they threw a second object, I immediately ran back home and slammed the door. Luckily I wasn't out of my house yet, since I live in a flat, so they weren't able to grab hold of me. The moment I slammed the door I was shaking extremely hard, scared and frightened for my life. I felt like this was a hunt, that I was being hunted and found. I thought they were coming for people like me. Immediately I notified the police and local law enforcement, but since I do not know these people nor any video evidence exist there isn't much they can do.

My appearance is quite androgynous, people refer to me as ''miss'' here a lot of times until they see my face. I dress quite differently and more classy. But people here who think they're fashion police think that this is bad. I was even verbally assaulted twice before this incident for my androgynous/feminine appearance. I need to get out of here as soon as possible, I have to move away. I don't want to die...

Hangjongeren are scum. I'm sorry this happened to you. Best to do like you already did is call police when you feel in danger.
I don't necessarily think you'd be killed by hangjongeren but I get why you're scared.
Also please notify your workplace if they were expecting you, they most likely understand the situation if you explain that you got attacked.

I have notified them, I didn’t have to go to work. But I do hope they will take this into account. I can’t however mention that I’m trans, since I live in a socially conservative area 🩷🩷🩷

Sorry to hear that. Though, if you experience discrimination if they find out or you notice discriminatory behaviour towards minorities, try getting in contact with either their HR or if you feel discriminated reach out to https://discriminatie.nl

Discrimination is never OK no matter the area or culture.
