I never dealt with this before, but I only engage with transgender women online. (counting Second Life back when it had a really active transgender community).
I dealt with this with gay guys though lol *a past life of mine*, it's like the 'side eye' look... nothing too extreme though. I don't really deal with the male gay community anymore though.

I got a little tizzy today, I said, oh Jessica Simpson in boot are made for walking isn't in my league (acting like a straight guy here)... and the male friend said... "You think Christina Aguilera is in your league, maybe now... maybe in a hundred years...." That's because I said a prior comment about her beauty really pretty in 2003.
***I just said, "Well Britney Spears in 2007 is in my league". And then he responded, "When she was bald? and crazy"....
I could careless all honestly... but that was a slammer to me about the Xtina comment. I just agreed with him, saying she has a great voice, and that's why.
