QuoteI don't think tight jeans is going be much of a turn on for a hetrosexual man.
I have to disagree with this one. The men I see and talk to find tight jeans almost an invitation. So Robin, you did the right thing by leaving quickly. Your choice is either to dress more conservatively (not so much fun) or be ready to move out of a dangerous situation quickly. GGs face this kind of thing all the time.
Agreed, It really does depend on where you are, and the culture of the location you're at, and to a degree the culture of the people doing the complimenting/harrassing.
But no matter how careful one is, I think that it's always a good idea to be prepared for the worst.
Something I recommend for anybody, but especially the transgendered is a concealed weapons permit, and a gun, or some other sort of practical self-defense devices (Knife, Taser, Stun gun, Pepperspray), as well as being trained in how to use said device.
I typically keep a knife in one of my boots and a knife in my bag, and depending on what I am wearing, in my pocket. When I have the funds I plan on getting a firearm, and I want an extendable baton for my birthday. Ok, a little overkill for most people, but I'm a little weird like that. Naturally check local laws before arming yourself in any way without a permit.
