“As a passing, almost fully transitioned trans woman, people are a *lot* more concerned about my safety as a woman than they ever were as a man. I’ve always been a rather adventurous, outdoorsy kind of person, but when you do dangerous stuff as a guy, people just shrug it off. When you do it as a girl, people suddenly get really worried about you. Pre-transition, I could run a 5K in the rain, and nobody cared. I do that as a woman, and suddenly people are all stopping to ask if I’m OK and need help.”
“And don’t get me started on people freaking out over me being out alone at night. There’s also a closer camaraderie among women just for being women, and so many men have absolutely no idea how to interact with a woman. I’ve been hit on and catcalled, and I never knew before how frequent this all was. On a more lighthearted note, I was surprised to learn that using purses has the side benefit of never forgetting my keys in my pants pockets and running them through the wash anymore.”
