      It is real for sure. I’m a cis male with what is generally considered a woman’s name. At work, it is crazy how differently people treat me when they only know me through chat or email vs in person or on the phone. It gets really interesting meeting some people for the first time after communicating only via text for a while. So much changes right at that moment.

        Do you ever get people assuming that you’re a trans woman?

          Not explicitly. In recent years I have noticed people being more careful if that makes any sense. I live in a very liberal area.
