It’s a combination of all of the above, I’m sure. Probably some sexism, but it could also be that now that I’m happier I project a friendlier attitude making me more approachable. I guess I’ll never know!
I’ve definitely noticed that women are muuuuuuch friendlier toward me since transitioning which is really nice. Other women meet me eyes instead of averting it and usually flash a genuine smile (not a sheepish one like before), and will usually say something even if just a quick “hi!”.
On the other hand, men are much more standoffish and weird around me, which I’m totally fine with lol
That’s such an interesting experience I’d never thought of. Now I wonder if that’s bias, attraction or friendliness.
Experiencing a day in the opposite sex would be fascinating. I’m not even sure I’d notice things like that, they seem so subtle.
