    The other day I walked by my shitty father who I haven’t spoken to in like a decade. And he didn’t even recognize me. I was two feet from him on the sidewalk, and not a flicker of recognition.

    This is peak transition. I’ve done it. Time to pack it up, whole new me walking around town now folks.

    A random women followed me into the men’s toilets in a pub. I’m guessing I passed to her maybe?

    I’ll take that validation frankly.

      Perfectly normal behaviour, not predatory at all for cis women to do this. Bathroom Guardians are truly humanity’s saviours.

      Edit: or did she follow you by accident because she thought you were leading her into the women’s toilets? Did she try the urinals out?

        I think (hope) she genuinely thought I was leading her to the women’s.

        Since the toilet was long and narrow and the urinals were at the end I think maybe me walking down the bathroom obscured their view to her or something?

        I mean she didn’t say anything to me the whole time and was shocked when a man entered and walked past her so 🤷

          That’s actually pretty hilarious, I love that for her. I’d say then you are hitting those transition goals <3

                  That last part was meant as a joke! I’m sticking to my earlier assertion that your transition is going well, that you don’t read as a man in public, and that this poor sod got pulled along for a bathroom ride.
