    You’ve probably never considered what it’s like to navigate the world as a trans person — but now, you can take a walk in their shoes. @Mic followed four trans individuals with GoPros and a camera to document their experiences. This is #WalkingWhileTrans http://bit.ly/2EdHqxB pic.twitter.com/cj8Pa2A8zD

        “As a nonbinary trans-femme person, navigating through public spaces can actually be pretty intimidating, especially because my form of self-expression is through my fashion and style.” — Derek Du Jour, a 23-year-old stylist. http://bit.ly/2EdHqxB pic.twitter.com/vdvGqr41H5

        “It’s a known experience in our community of being routinely and regularly harassed and facing the threat of violence or arrest because we are trans and therefore often assumed to be sex workers.” — @tslove602 #WalkingWhileTrans http://bit.ly/2EdHqxB pic.twitter.com/ElH587D6Dw

        In the trans community, the notion of “passing” often coincides with the fear of being “clocked” or “spooked” — colloquialisms meaning that transness has been noticed — and left visible, laid bare and open for dissection. #WalkingWhileTrans http://bit.ly/2EdHqxB pic.twitter.com/BzYxSjmMis

        “He got really mad and loud and called me ‘faggot’ and ‘punk’ and all sorts of other names. I didn’t even buy my food. I just walked extremely fast out of the store and headed home … Everyone in the store looked as this happened.” — @brandiahzionaepic.twitter.com/nqISyeA1bX

        "I wake up everyday thinking of ways to really center my thinking about safety for trans people. It isn’t something that we can only just do on certain days or only during self-defense class.” — Jewel Cadet, of the Center for Anti-Violence Education in Brooklynpic.twitter.com/w6prNiiTtN

        “Like so many of the trans people I spoke with, my desire to 'pass' has gradually diminished. I no longer alter my voice or attempt to hide my transness. Instead, I try my hardest to be visible. I now make eye contact with those who stare at me.” @serenajazmine #WalkingWhileTranspic.twitter.com/zfE4JWyhHS
