People are super kind to me. Making friends has become super easy. Why didn’t I do this earlier??
How individual people react varies widely, and is largely unique to each person, which shows me that it’s really nothing more than a psychological construct.
Some people walk up to me to give me words of support. I just had that last Thursday in the grocery store.
Someone even deadnamed me out of nowhere during a disagreement. It’s honestly entertaining to see how low this guy can go. So far I’ve made sure to rub any spare happiness that I have in his face. Maybe he’ll manage to grow up one day.
Oh ya and like someone else mentioned, you have the ‘SIR’ people. Well I always take that with a smile but one of these days I won’t be able to hold back and I’ll be left with no choice but to return the favor.
Then there’s the unsolicited admirers. Well one wasn’t entirely unsolicited because his little head kept peeking around the wall between our opera boxes. I’ll never forget how silly that looked.
The “Sir” people are definitely my biggest pet peeve at the moment.
It’s understandable, because I’m an enby with a villainously curled moustache, but I see that as an androgynous characteristic. Spending time every morning putting my face on is not a traditionally masculine habit. XD
I rather enjoy the compliments I get for it, just not the honorifics.

I think enbies have it harder
In some ways, yeah.
Growing up in Texas in the 90’s didn’t provide a lot of role models for gender diversity. I didn’t meet an openly trans person 'til college. >_<
Same experience here. I remember this guy sitting next to me once, he was wearing makeup and a dress. Looking back I presume they are enby.
It’s such a powerful experience, right? You never forget it.
For sure. A friend of mine in college came out to me as transmasc and that was the last little push I needed to be more open about myself. 😄
