Laws and rulings are nice, but the real safety concern is the general attitude of the population towards trans people. In a country that has a low public opinion of trans people you’re more likely to get beat up. Laws only really help with punishment of the perpetrators. And that’s largely dependent on the attitude of police. It’s easy for them to “accidentally” break with procedure so a case gets thrown out or just be intentionally bad at their job.
I largely agree with this, laws are second to the real-feel of how people are on the ground, though they can relate to one another. Where I used to live, it was legal to discriminate against trans people regarding housing and so on, but where I live now, I know it’s illegal and the culture is different here as well. I’m not in the biggest city area, and it’s still much better - so sometimes better laws do track better culture, too.
Either way, yes - laws won’t really protect you, they just might protect you in certain legal matters and give you recourse for justice if you are wronged (in some places).
