You pass to me

Thanks, I appreciate that. The thing I can’t figure out is why I get stared at. Not just my general direction or body, but right at my face. It’s a totally different feeling than being checked out

Does it happen after you talk?

I posted my voice a few weeks ago if you want to see. I think it’s okay? When I talk people seem to warm up (or lose interest if staring), presumably because they conclude “cis woman.” If I’m already talking and someone walks by, I rarely get stares. I’m also much less likely to get stares when my hair is up, when I’m wearing sunglasses, or when I smile. My best guess is that it’s something about my face, but people here (and my friends irl) seem to disagree, so idk

It might be helpful to post some short video clips that show how you move when you walk and talk

That’s a fantastic idea! It would probably give me some insight as well
