Usually when they are in that woge, they're angry. Why didn't the wesen who attacked Trubel simply wig out over her eyes and run away, with the usual, "Aaaaahhhh! You're a grimm!"? And if Trubel has been attacked often enough to be declared mentally unbalanced, certainly more than one wesen has freaked out at her and called her a grimm. Wouldn't she be questioning exactly what a "grimm" is?
The other thing I find odd about Trubel is either she did something to piss every wesen who encountered her off so much that they only they could do was the utterly ridiculous "invisible woge" or all wesen are just evil 24/7. But only to her. And so she was declared mentally incompetent. Even that makes no sense because there'd have to be wesen in the mental institutions with her. We know they're in prison and they woge there. What would make a wesen staying in a mental institution any different?
IIRC, Monroe and Rosalee’s wedding guest realized Trubel was a Grimm then woged. When Adalind and Nick saw each other in the pilot, Adalind realized Nick was a Grimm then woged in response. So I don’t think Wesen have to be in an invisible woge to detect a Grimm. Plus, the typical Wesen reaction to Nick was fear and/or hatred with a few becoming his friends and others learning to trust him. Given that, I don’t think Trubel had to do anything to cause a Wesen to attack. They attacked simply because they detected she was a Grimm. Bud practically wet his pants when realizing he was in a Grimm’s house. But someone like Monroe isn’t going to run screaming because he’s face to face with a Grimm.
I don’t recall the show addressing it, but imagine many Wesen have the see a Grimm kill a Grimm attitude like Grimm’s see a Wesen kill a Wesen attitude. So for many of the Wesen Trubel encountered they were attempting to kill before being killed.
Wesen cannot know if a person in front of them is a Grimm until they (privately) voge. Something about the Wesen being able to see themselves in the Grimm’s eyes. This is confirmed all over all six seasons. When Nick saw Adalind voge in S1, E1 She voge across the street form Nick. She might have voge due to the two men, (Hank and Nick) looking at her but Nick was able to see her as a Wesen that’s when she saw him as a Grimm, not before. They both discuss that first meeting when they are moving out of his house. Early on S5, E3, Lost Boys
Adalind: How long have you lived in this house?
Nick: [Kelly fusses as he picks him up] Shh. About six and a half years. I never thought I'd be here forever, but I didn't know anything about being a Grimm when I bought it... Now that I think about it, you were my first.
Adalind: First what?
Nick: First woge I ever saw. Remember that? You were coming out of a coffee shop. I was with Hank... [Flashback of Nick seeing Adalind woge in "Pilot"] and you looked at me.
Adalind: As I remember it, you were looking at me.
Nick: You scared the hell out of me.
Adalind: You scared the hell out of me too. I guess you were my first as well. I'd never seen a Grimm before.
As for out introduction to Trubel. At first, that scene had nothing to do with Wesen looking for a Grimm to kill. They were not reapers who hunt Grimms. It was just two bad guys looking to rape a lone girl in a desolate place, who just happened to be Wesen. Once they dragged her off into the field to rape her, they voge to add to the terror. Her Grimm kicks in and before they can say “OMG it’s a Grimm”. The camera pans away and you see blood splatter. Their blood as she kills them.
Just as Wesen have their DNA to change, Grimms have their DNA as natural born fighters. I am sure the training Nick got at the police academy didn’t hurt but he was already a good fighter being a Grimm That’s why Trubel was able to kill them.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
