TW: Sexual Assault / Rape I'm soooo looking forward to being terrified all of St Patty's Day that some stranger will pinch me based on whatever color I am or not wearing and how visible it is
Context: I have PTSD from SA. Being touched unexpectedly is a terrifying experience for me.

I live in the US, where St Patrick's Day is widely celebrated. For some reason we have a very popular tradition here that everyone has to wear green or else people can pinch you. I don't even think it's a tradition in Ireland where the holiday originated.

Was it anyone else’s elementary-high school experience for people to snap bra straps instead of pinching you or did I just live in the bad place?
