    Just wanted to report that for the first time since probably my 20s, while I was in the shop now, I just got hit with “How can I help you ma’am?” Followed by “Omg omg I’m so sorry sir 😅” the moment I spoke. And I’m not even really trying today, just wearing sneakers, blue jeans and a mostly black tracksuit top.

    I personally find it hilarious and kinda adorable how people squirm in situations like this. And as someone who hasn’t done HRT yet, I’m amazed at how locked into stereotypes people are, how just having long hair and no beard can sometimes be enough to cause confusion.
