Yep, it's a topic about not passing, a subject that I am having real issues and fears around.
I did a search and there are a lot of issues around passing, but I could not find to many topics that addressed what to do when you are read...how to get through the experience with grace and style...and how to not get hurt in the process...
From just being in the grocery store, to clothing stores, to walking on the street, to clubs and parties, there are a myriad of situations where we can be made as presenting as the opposite of our birth gender.
For me, it happens about a third of the time and it sucks because it feels like my stomach just fell through the floor and I get very scared of what might happen...that reaction is very hard for me to hide. Great, so they made me as a "guy in a dress" and I just exhibited a fear reaction...anyone say "prey"?
I feel like I am just another "TG Attacked" news story waiting to happen.
I need help. I need Nerves of Steel and I am not sure how to get them and it is holding me back from being my authentic self.
I know that others have been through this and been read multiple times and maybe you have some wisdom to share with myself and others that will help us when that critical time comes.
Thanks
