After reading some threads about how when they see they knew as guys how to approach them, they seem alot more cautious them I. I'm new into all this: a few months in not passable but always wear pink nail polish lip gloss and dress like a guy most times when I go out since I only have a few girl outfits all for warm weather and its been cold here. Really the only time I feel uncomfortable is around redneck types. I had an accident and clearly can't fight: I lost all my muscle mass and use a white cane or "blind stick" to walk around with. Im pretty good at reading people but my family worries about homophobes since even when dressed as a guy I'm clearly not straight. I used to be someone who you didn't want to fight, but now I can't lift more then 15 lbs. I'm not going to change who I am BUT I'm not going to go into a biker bar or into the county too far either. Part of the reason I do this is so maybe I will meet a guy thats into "us" and if I met a guy as a guy I would know alot about him. I do see a therapist specifically for GID at a lgbT doctors but my therapist isn't as good as the old one and she always telling me to come out more they all want to see me dressed as female when I go in for appointments because it's not a big deal there: there are more trans people then cis people some days and very few straight people all days. But everyone here is so cautious... why? I do have a touch of asberger's so sometimes I don't get things. If I had the time and know how and wigs/ make up and every thing I would go out female 100% of the time every where because I feel confident about my looks.
