@lucy Very unlikely
t. traveled in Africa as an obvious queer and people couldn't tell
In general the more transphobic and homophobic a place is the less likely people are to assume you're gay or trans and the easier it is to blend in

@nemesis @lucy No offense but your parents are sheltered coastal liberals, I wouldn't put much stock in their judgements about other countries
You'd absolutely be okay in Brazil and India (although most Indian men are vile lechers) and almost certainly most of Africa too
If anything bad happens to you in Africa it would be because you're a rich white American rather than because you're trans

@nemesis @lucy Speaking personally whenever my family moved to a new country my relatives back home would freak out about all the "unsafe" stuff happening in the country and in literally every case it turned out completely fine
Like, yeah, sometimes the embassy prohibited us from traveling to certain regions of the country where civil unrest was going on, but as long as we stayed in the green zone and took basic common sense precautions we were completely safe

@arcana @scathach @lucy brazil at least would be fine I think, especially the south which is where I would have gone if my parents hadnt nixed that
india is sketchier for sure though I know at least two white women who have visited there for like a month and been fine despite so I imagine it wouldnt be too bad

@mischievoustomato @nemesis @lucy @scathach pretty much
The places that I think the issue could actually be due to being trans would be the likes of UAE and Saudi Arabia, where it’s illegal but they avoid the regular dangerous stuff by beating their lower castes with stickd

@mischievoustomato @nemesis @lucy @scathach corporal punishment against the gutter caste is basically the best way to ensure public safety

@genmaicha @nemesis @lucy @scathach oh I know, it has more genetic diversity than anywhere else. Don’t worry, I’m the last person to mistake a Tutsi for a Mashona

@scathach @nemesis @lucy @mischievoustomato I more mean in terms of having documentation incorrect or getting into bother. Though I highly doubt they’d do anything beyond deporting to most foreigners

@nemesis @lucy TSA is by FAR the worst I've ever experienced
Most you'd need to look out for with African airport security is they might try to "confiscate" a "dangerous" (valuable-looking) item, which can usually be avoided by just being stern with them. I can guarantee that you being trans won't even cross their minds
