Some people know I'm trans, others don't, and some don't believe me. So, I get it from several sides. There are old friends in my life, of course, who know about me. And they accept me and see me as a women, despite knowing my past. Although, oddly enough, people are having a hard time remembering the old me -- and I must admit, I'm having a hard time remembering myself or thinking of myself ever being a boy. The weirdest thing is running into old group photos of myself and not realizing at first that the guy in the picture was me once before. I look so different. It's weird. I actually ran into an old co-worker and started talking to her like nothing changed, and it took her almost five minutes to figure out who I was -- she hasn't seen me in almost a year! I've had that happen a few times with people that I don't see often.
As for being trans, I rarely talk about it these days, except for on my vlogs (but it's not always the main subject). I just usually don't think about having a transexual condition. *shrugs* And the topic is worn out and passe with my friends, so we don't talk about it much. So, even being trans can be mundane. LOL
As for people who don't know, it's fine as well, because I'm pretty much treated the same. People just seem me as who I am, no matter if they know my past or not. Although, when some people find out it's a mind trip. I've told some people who just don't believe me, no matter what I say. So, I usually just go with the flow, don't worry about it, and just let people get to know me for my personality, who I am. I find either way, I'm at the point were people just treat me as myself.
