How do temporarily pass for male in dangerous areas

Wear a jumper, and a hoody on top, to make you look buff, and a hat to cover you're hair.

Don't have too many bags, walk with you're chest high. Don't look at their directions.

 

Well, I think you should just either move somewhere safer, learn Taekwondo (Korean self-defense) to protect yourself, or buy peppermint spray. Or even better, get a gun permit and carry a gun with you.

But if you want to pass as a male, you could always bind your chest, wear men's clothes, cut your hair or put your hair up in a hat.

 

Also, carry something that can obviously be used as a weapon if need be (umbrella, etc), because that can dissuade any people with ill intentions. At least, that's what a cop buddy told me. Stay safe.

 

You can try putting your hands in your pockets and tilt your torso side by side as you walk, maybe look at your cellphone. If youre concerned with getting mugged try keeping your stuff at your front pockets, wear a hoodie that covers them and put your hands on the front pockets of the hoodie, and always remember to have long steps and wear long pants.
