Reply To: What are your fears when going out dressed?

[Kim Dahlenbergen]

I don’t worry about being read. I strive to present myself as a respectable and stylish woman, or realistically a respectable and stylish transwoman. I always assume that I will be read.

I have never worried about using restrooms and I have never had any issues in doing so.

And in over a decade of being out, I have never faced any direct ridicule or even anything less than courtesy. Who knows what people may be thinking.

My only concern is the very small percentage of the population that may wish to do harm to people like me. I haven’t encountered any, but I do keep it in mind.
