I've met cis women that have told me that they get "clocked" by people. It sounds like this was a pretty big shock to you, so probably an isolated incident, like it is for those cis women. If there's nothing you can fix to make it not happen again, there's no use dwelling on it in my opinion.

Whenever someone uses a CIS person as an example to reflect our own trials and tribulations I can't help but wonder what said CIS person actually looks like. :D

Like a woman, Evelyn, like a woman. I used to know a cis woman who was large, stocky and had a deep voice. Didn't matter, no one doubted her. I used to say I'd rather look like the world's ugliest woman than its handsomest man. Maybe time to reuse that sig.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

^^^ Sounds like you're trying to minimize the totality of all those subtler incidents of clocking, like putting them in bigger buckets so it's easier to deal with and isn't as painful... any reason why?

I was clocked. Fair and square.

Anyway look I've said I'm settling out of this thread. I'm squared with the topic.

Some one staring at you and you thinking that you've been 'clocked' is not actually being clocked. I'm not trying to minimise the impact of subtle incidents clocking, because again, being publicly viewed as trans is NOT a subtle experience.
