The in-your-face confrontation that happened during the period I was trying my darnest to be as “passable” and took to the blending in idea of dressing. I think that situation was mere seconds from being physical on his part, lucky for me a girl in his group interjected herself and diffused the situation. With that confrontation and others like it during that period, I believe that folks tend to be more aggressive if they think you are trying to “fool” them. I haven’t had much negative experiences when it is more obvious that I am not trying to “pass”!
