I am from the US and will be visiting London soon. I would love to
go to the Way Out Club on 3/1. I will be staying in the Paddington
area and was wondering if I would be safe taking the tube to the
club from there.

I should expect so, although I have no idea where the Way Out Club is.

Neither did I, I don't think it's quite me somehow, but they do have a web
site, which gives the address as: 9 Crosswall (off Minories) London EC3.
This is very near to Fenchurch Street main line station, however, this is
now the only main line London Terminus which does not also have an
Underground station. Tower Hill Underground station is however only a
short distance away, a couple of hundred metres maybe, and can be reached
direct from Paddington by Circle line (the yellow line) on the map trains.
You could go either way around the Circle, but an Eastbound train (via
Kings Cross) is somewhat shorter than Westbound (via Victoria). Trains run
every few minutes, and the journey will take about 20-25 minutes.

I plan on taking a taxi back to my hotel later
but would like to save some money. I will be "en femme" that night
and will be traveling with a female companion. Thank you in
advance for your advice.

To be honest, I really don't think that would make any difference.

You are unlikely to have any problem at all, but problems are caused by
people, not underground trains and stations, and sadly, it's just possible
that you could meet some drunken yobo who wants to make your life a misery,
just as in any other city in the World.

Enjoy your stay in London Robyn.
