it isn`t about any other issues so much as this area if full of homophobic, xenophobic grunts.
I`v had run0ins with some when I was full time male before I even knew I was trans just for walking to the shop!
they just seem to hang around litterally Looking for trouble.
Being clocked would probably be Fatal!

and yet I do it anyway.

Others will just throw nasty remarks, and saying anything smart ass back to them would Then instigate violence. How do I deal with the remarks if I get any?

That's rough, these people are dangerous.

I try to ignore them, but some guys won't let you walk away while ignoring their cusses.
Always keep moving and it helps to fake a phone call so they know you have an outside avenue of help.

There was once when I felt in danger and cornered, so I bolted.
