how often if ever have you encountered any level of hostility for being trans

[stephaniec]

It's never happened. Maybe i'm lucky? or just I stay safe.

I've found most people are pretty nice or tolerant . obviously there are pretty messed up people out there that will try to hurt you , you just have to do your best to be careful.

I haven't seen hostility I'm mostly invisible it's like "yeah you're a girl now so what? like 2,348,955,926 of the rest of them"

Although I know I've been read a few times though (even recently) when I was wearing top heavy male clothes (mens Zara anorak jacket) with slender jeans and womens booties and the proportions weren't right inviting closer scrutiny from a woman who was sitting across from me on a train. I was wearing makeup and my hair was tied back in a ponytail which tends to be masculinizing as well. I knew I goofed in my presentation and the dip in confidence SHOWED when I looked at her and away. I was read and afterwards she had a coy surprise smirk on her face. I won't make that mistake again. It's all womens clothes from here.

One of the truly rare times Evelyn got PWNED!

It's nerve racking when another female clocks you. that happened to me last year when I was 5 or 6 months in walking down the street and this young woman kept staring at me smiling.

^^ Yeah. And what's more bewildering is being more attractive than said woman who just clocked you.

Talk about an absurd arrangement of circumstances.
