I have been out and about as Barbara in one fashion or another many times over the last 20 years. Most times I have no problems. I get the look occasionally, but only a couple times has it been what I would call a Bad Experience. I posted about my worst one last month.

As I mentioned in it, I am not sharing it to scare anyone or to get sympathy, but to help newer members to remember to be careful and know that even if you live someplace that seems very open to CD/TS people, there are still some that want to cause problems.
