I haven't been abused, but I gotta tell you the difference between going out in boy mode and girl mode is like night and day - I've never been more "accidently" touched or groped in public in one day until I put on makeup, a skirt and a scarf. I knew it was bad before I transitioned but it is like a whole other universe when you gotta live it.
That's an insight that seems obvious but I hadn't considered before. I try very hard not to touch anybody who isn't engaging first or someone I know closely.
