Queer: Juliet Jacques's Transgender Journey

A fascinating story from the Guardian recently details the process of gender transitioning, in brief. One point that I found fresh and of interest:

This I had expected, but being "read" as trans in other places raised different problems: venues that welcomed trans women also attracted people interested in trans women sexually, who didn't always understand that, whatever my gender, the usual rules about where they could put their hands (for one) did not change. (I was not alone: 64% of the trans women surveyed by the Equalities Review in 2007 reported experience of public sexual harassment.)
Female friends pointed out my naivety and explained what they'd learned in similar situations years earlier. I knew I'd have to learn fast how to handle myself and which areas of my home town were the most tolerant.

I'm reminded that I haven't yet read Conundrum, a transgender memoir of many years ago.
