It's stressful for sure. I've thought about taking my rainbow stickers off the van and not painting my nails and so on, but even with a beard I get "mistakenly" called ma'am in frump country.
Politicians are always stirring the pot.
Be safe, but be you. I've had genuine convos with people that don't know they're being brainwashed while presenting very femme and I've had "oh shit, I'm going out matthew shepard style" moments when I felt like I was presenting very masc.
It's not easy at all sometimes, but I feel like hiding who I am doesn't help anyone other than the haters.
