I've experienced discrimination practically everywhere I have ever presented as female. Not from everyone, mind you, but it's an awful feeling to dress up nice and go out to have a pleasant evening, only to deal with at least one random ->-bleeped-<- calling me a name or telling someone they're glad they're not like me.
I've run into the occasional friend from my various social circles while dressed up, only to never be spoken to by them again. It's usually preceded by noticing they're checking me out, then they see it's someone familiar, then they realize it's me...
My mother and sister made my home a place of discomfort, making fun of me for an hour at a time for being a sissy, offering me a tampon, and even (from my own mother's mouth) being called a sicko.
The only time nobody at all has anything nasty to say is when I'm dressed conservatively, keep to myself and avoid making eye contact with anyone, but what kind of life is that?
The only happy note here is that the first time I passed I was avoided by someone I knew. I tried saying hello, and he crossed the street to avoid me. I got upset, but found out later that he didn't know it was me, he thought I was a "stuck-up conservative b*tch" who was going to try and pitch some religious or political propaganda at him. XD When he found out it was me in women's clothing he was relieved and gave me a big hug.
I'd never felt better about myself than I did then.
