Jeffrey Tambor's (Transparent) "real-life" experience as a transgender woman

[JessicaSondelli]

The article is more about his opinion on Caitlin Jenner but the last paragraph was much more interesting to me:

...
Tambor also spoke of an "ugly" incident when he went out in public dressed as his Transparent character while preparing for the role.

"I remember in doing that, how nervous I was," he said.
"I remember saying to myself as an actor; 'Do not forget how you feel right now because you nth that by a zillion times and you get what it is'.

"Someone did look at me when I was doing that. I don't know if they recognised me as Jeffrey Tambor or just looked as a trans-woman who didn't quite have it all together.
"I'll never forget that smirk on that person's face. It changed me and I thought, 'that's what it looks like, that's quite ugly'."
