I get on not crowded train first and take my place to the right of the door. Man gets on train after me. Stands in middle of door but closer to me so I feel I don’t have space – it’s as if I’m not there. He turns slightly as if mystified there is something in his space. I say “yes, there is already someone here – there is a human being here”. He pretends not to hear and does not move. I tap him repeatedly on the shoulder and he ignores me totally with a scowl on his face. I don’t do anything else out of fear this man will hurt me. I am left burning with rage and a feeling of impotence.
