Guys are either intimidated by you or think they need to beat (not physically, mostly) you somehow. I have been the victim of trans phobia because apparently I must be male. I've had to endure comments such as "It's probably a man" when I wear a skirt but then "You should dress more feninine" when I give up.
Honestly I love to wear heels but it actually becomes a crime ane yes everbody does suggest you to be a model or a basketball player😑
And my friends keep telling me to walk slow when I walk at a normal pace.
Being tall sucks but I wouldn't give it up😂😉🤘
