I agreed with everything you wrote, until you said the above.
There is NOTHING paranoid about a woman's behaviour in public, especially since women are more likely to be victims of violent assaults from MEN. Before spouting nonsense, why not ask the women in your life (Mom, wife, sister, daughter) how THEY would feel if some random guy approached them and made a comment about their appearance, clothes, or "sexiness". More importantly, ask them if they have ever been approached by a man, that they felt unsafe. And then tell me that they are being 'paranoid'.
I don't mean to be dismissive or insulting to the CD community, but for god's sake, y'all don't really get the picture! YOU (general pronoun) just don't realize how dangerous the world can be towards cis or trans women!
A crossdresser may love the feel and sensations of feminine clothes, they may strive to achieve the perfect make up and then stroll around an empty parking lot, taking selfies. At most, they may worry about being exposed and found out. If they are smart, they would be more worried about being discovered by a group of homophobic men...
But for women (cis or trans) EVERY encounter with a male has the potential for acceptance or violence. Hell, women and girls have to be cautious about rejecting advances from guys, due to the violence that may result!
The statement "Many are paranoid", does nothing but show how entrenched YOU are in male entitlement, and how clueless you are to the reality of life.
