It seems to me most people are so busy they don't notice others.
Moreover, today it's more common to see people of questionable gender
and I think most accept it if the person's dress is within normal
limits. That being the case you will be reasonably safe and if people
notice why worry if they accept you?
Go to the mall or wherever people of your age group gather and you want
to be like and observe how they are dressed and act. Do likewise when
you are out. Then you will likely be accepted even if you don't pass.
The more I think about the term "accepted" the more I like it for TG
people. The task is to be accepted even if you don't pass. I think
Carla/Stu Rasmussen, "America's First Transgender Mayor" who attends DLV
is a great role model for acceptance and has no concerns about passing!
She is so visible in her community she can't pass, but is obviously well
accepted. We should all do as well!
