Something I was thinking back on from yesterday which I’m now realizing has been a thing is the fact that when I’m out in public, other women mostly seem to be far more vocal and friendly with me.

Example - yesterday when I was getting my badge the woman helping me struck up a conversation about random stuff with me as we waited for the badge to print. She also offered me a mirror and let me look at the photo after she took it. We started talking about affirmations and then her coworker in the next cubicle over randomly started asking me about them too…

Another example - wifey and I were out drinking a few weeks ago and she left to get food. When I was by myself the bartender came by to get empty glasses and she randomly started talking to me about her daughter and how much she loved the flavor I was drinking.

Even though I know I’ve always been perceived as a non threatening male pre transition, I was never treated with such friendliness.

Is this like a thing? I mean, maybe I passed at the bar but the badge lady saw my deadname… maybe I looked passing and that was enough for her to be friendly?

I know the female friends I had pre-coming out have become far more closer and friendlier with me post-transition, but it’s the interaction with strangers that I’m focusing on. Or maybe I just need to go back to sleep.
