“I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the
bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot.’ They slammed my head into
a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of
me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out – not the
bullies. Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the
girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your
autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade
you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of.’ And I said, ‘That was
me. Go fuck yourself.’”

Way to go girl! You tell them! Who knows. Maybe one day I'll have the pleasure of telling someone off that treated me like shit back in school too.
