    People are a lot nicer to me now than before I transitioned, which is nice, but it feels like a lot of them also assume I’m dumb af, which never happened when I was a “guy”.

    I kinda expected it from men, but what’s caught me off guard is that a lot of women do it too.

      It literally changes people’s perception of you, I think, when they make this assumption that you are an airheaded girl and then you start talking smart shit about whatever. They look at you funny.

      Always interesting seeing stories where its people like someone’s siblings or parents who start doing that kind of thing. Like, I saw someone whose dad and brother accidentally started explaining sports to her when its a sport they might have literally played and whom they’ve been watching sports with for like decades.
