I envy you!! There's been a number of times I've done it and haven't been bothered, but mostly very late at night when not very many are around, but, I've even been threatened by homophobes when I WASN'T femmed up at all!! Or the one time I was wearing pants over a black leo that just looked like a black tank top.
Basically, it's just who you happen to run into en femme. Sadly, there's no way to control that, but, at the same time, you shouldn't HAVE to worry about it at ALL!!!!
It's one of the drawbacks of being trans, either partial or full. One has to take precautions, just as most women do, e.g., not walking the streets alone at night, carefully planning trips by car so as not to get lost, avoiding crime ridden sections of town, etc.).
Also, every state in the country now has provisions in place for concealed carry. I know not everyone is pro-gun, but a pistol in the hands of one trained to use it is a great equalizer for (trans) women who have to venture out into a dangerous world.
