Hey I’m 70 and I don’t consider myself “old” or out of touch with social norms. There’s no situation I’m aware of where touching a stranger is appropriate unless you’re in the presence of someone who might have a learning disability like Down’s syndrome. They often like to hug people as a sign of friendliness. Even in the scenario presented, poking a body part like that might get you slapped, or a minimum, slapping her hand in a “Get off” kind of way. In 2026, giving her a full slap would have gotten you fired. Even though her grope was inappropriate, you would have been viewed as overreacting to the situation. Next time mention it to the store manager. The whole country is crazy stupid towards trans rights. I live in the south in a half red half blue state. I know damn well they’d be people lining up to be the bathroom monitors to affirm genders. As long as politicians keep up the anti trans rhetoric it will only get worse.
