This person is either lying, or had some karen at the coffee shop go off, and is now stretching that. I have family in Boston, Including a couple that live Jamaica Plains. That has been like LGBTQ central for a while. They, and no one they know, have ever been assaulted by people over privilege, pronouns, or for being white/straight/male/cis. They said the only place they have ever seen such eruptions of behavior is online, meaning it's just the rare karen.

That, or they are bigot that goes out and agitates this type of behavior. Then frames it in a manner in which they are the victim.

this was in Jamaica Plain at Espresso Love last new years day.

And yes, everyone who i ever tell this too denies it happened to me. because I'm a big strong white guy... so nothing bad can ever happen to me. I'm clearly a bigoted POS and if i didn't put it on tiktok it doesn't exist.

I'd rather just not deal with violence and crazy people whose insecurity is so rampant they need to assault others to feel powerful. I will just mind my peace and go to places not full of angry people who scream at being for getting coffee.

Probably because it didn't. You were physically attacked for just standing in line to get coffee? Totally believable, definitely happens.
