As far as I'm concerned this is a free speech comment section. Just don't forget the people who might be reading this and the beelaw.

Coming from a transfem ehis early in their transition, have you seen any change in how you're treated?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Clothing, makeup and hair and so on make a huge difference in how people perceive me. I just wear it because I like it, but it has an impact.

However, what matters most is how I feel and how I express that. When I show weakness some people will immediately exploit that to deal with their own frustrations. Likewise, when I feel fine, people love to tune in on that and I have zero issues socially.

So it really comes down to mental health, and I'm self aware of how I'm presenting.
