In that specific case it might’ve been an answer to “Do you look at me differently now”, brains like to short-circuit like that, and not everybody is comfortable speaking for the tribe. “Does the tribe like me?” – “Well I do” – “Does the tribe?” – “I’m not the tribe”.
I told one of my friends that I’m being looked at differently in crowds now, and he just said “no you’re imagining it”.
Many people just do not believe what trans people tell them. At all.
Honestly people are probably just looking at you wondering if you are trans.

Women aren’t believed, are you a trans woman? If so it could be either that you’re a woman or that you’re trans.

I was adding to it, not explaining it.
But is it because of being trans in general, or because of the direction of transition?
