I never got sired too much pre transition....only by people that knew me....and I did get disgusted but they weren't doing anything wrong since they had no idea and never knew how I felt.
People that know you well (family, friends, coworkers, and business associates) will never see any change....and even if they do, the thought of you changing your gender never crosses their mind.
The one of the few times I was sired pre-transition was when I went to the pharmacy where my children's RX's were....the clerk knew me fairly well...in fact I think she may have been somewhat attracted to me. Well....it was a couple of months since I was there and even though my appearance was similar to what she seen before, I was being gendered almost exclusively female by most people then.
.....ok, I'm standing in line and the lady beside me told the clerk that "she" (pointing to me) was next. The clerk quickly and directly said to her "no she is a he!!!" the lady and other people there looked at her with disgust, wondering why she would think that!! and why point it out. I thought this at first....but the way she did it was not to offend me but more to DEFEND me....thinking I would be insulted to be referred to as a she! Oh how she was wrong
One of my many strange experiences during my 1-2 years pre transition! This is similar to what some other MTF's get, unfortunately it may be said directly to them making them feel even worse.
