The threat of violence, however, was not the norm and I still believe it's entirely possible that they perceived that we were a couple and were prepared to harm us as a result. If anyone was clinging to assumptions, I'd say it was you.
And, um, I *am* a woman. How patronizing of you. Or am I less of a woman to you because I'm lesbian?
