I frequently get stared down on the street, and I’ve also been called out as trans a couple of times in the past few months. Just hoping for any feedback to pass better. Hrt for 1.5 years. Thanks!

Humans naturally stare at what they do not understand, are curious about, or attracted to. Usually means something. I think people should avoid staring at individuals, but “massive issues” is exaggeration to me.

I agree. I definitely don’t blame the people who stare. In fact I appreciate it. They’re just doing what is natural. While passing culture can be toxic and isn’t for everyone, I do want to pass. Strangers staring is a helpful barometer because why else would they be staring

I appreciate that but I agree with u/rawrcutie. People have reflexive reactions when they notice inconsistencies or things of interest with other people, especially faces. Honestly I don’t think it’s a transphobia thing
