I don't know where reality falls on the spectrum between "completely sheltered naive worldview" and "straight up racist everyone else is a barbarian worldview", but I'm hoping I can get a general Vibe from you guys.
As an adult, white, trans woman just starting to transition, how much danger would I be in presenting as such in public (wearing a longish skirt, making my hair cuter, being as freshly shaved as possible) while still not fully passing?
I mostly keep to myself and am also fairly large, though it's more fat than muscle, but regardless, I think my physical presence would be a deterrent to any physical violence, but it seems to sometimes make violence even worse so I don't know
I'm in Los Angeles specifically, and I'm thinking about probably the most "progressive" parts of the city like Hollywood (or the suburbs, where I'm so alienated I genuinely don't care what anyone thinks of me). Pretty much everywhere I plan to go is on fully lit main roads
Yeah I didn't even consider at all if I'd need pepper spray
