YEA! All the time. I thought I was the only one that thought about that. I find myself thinking about it more when I'm at work. I see a cute girl and I see her looking at me and smiling or something so I'm like ok so does she know or does she think I'm a dude... ??? haha then next thing I know one of my coworkers yell my name. but anyways yeah it does

Sure.
Last week I went to a LGBT and straight disco, and a man started to dance with me, just like he wanted to ask me to go out with him.
Well, I was in panic because I didn't know if he tought that I was a masculine woman or a feminine guy.
I hate not being under HRT <.<

Yep. What's even more annoying is the people who know me as female and use female pronouns- but I can't be mad at them if they don't know.

Yes, and this.
Gender expression is NOT gender identity.

Defective Catastrophe.

I know what this is like. Still gets me upset but benefit of the doubt and all that.
Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

No, the other person is thinking, 'Does anyone know I'm really kinda crazy or have I managed to fool them?', 'Does anyone think I'm gay?', Does anyone know my guilty secret?' ...

This is very refreshing/grounding to hear, because it's probably the most true among young students.

I find myself curious, but not overly concerned.

I don't really care too much. There's nothing I can do to change their perseption. If I'm clocked, I'm clocked. I just keep using my (overtly male) name, and the correct pronous towards myself, and I correct any errors that come up.

As for people that knew me from "before" - they know of my transition. They use correct name and pronouns. If they don't know, I tell them (they'd find out eventually anyway).

Since I can only pass as Male very rarely, I kind of stopped wondering what people think of me. I know from the way I dress they probably think I'm an idiot. But I made my own style of Goth  :laugh:

Since I get lots of funny looks and double takes, I'm SURE that other people are trying to figure out what gender I am. Hell, only 2 weeks ago I was going through airport security and the Random Patdown Screener had to ask me if I was male or female, since she could only pat down females. I wasn't confident enough (nor was I packing) to state I was male, so I got ma'am-ed again. :S
And lots of people have guessed me to be lesbian, judging from my clothes and hair, but they get re-confused when they see my boyfriend and I hanging on each other. xD
I just don't worry about it much anymore. If someone wants to think I'm a lesbo, that's their mistake not mine. I know what I am.

Haha, just today I walked into a bathroom full of girls (why must they congregate there??) and it went pretty quiet, got some stares of people probably trying to determine my sex. Was pretty uncomfortable, but I bet they were uncomfortable too.

I think I'm just going to try to care less. It can only benefit me.

Actually, I think that's a very obvious hint that you went into the wrong toilets ;)

Im ALWAYS curious as to what other people are thinking.  Ive started working int he classroom again with kids where some knew me before I transitioned and you can see a few of them looking at me and chatting with their friends.  The only comment i've had is 'I don't remember you with a beard..."
I would love to know what they're thinking and chatting about.
