Have you been treated differently solely based on your gender presentation?

Hi everyone. I for one can say I have experienced being treated differently solely based on my gender presentation. There's like this acceptance I now get from women that I did not receive before.

Granted, not all women accept me. I think it really depends on the person. I  personally have noticed an increase in female friendships since I transitioned to female however.

It's why I find it interesting that some people say it does not matter when clearly it does matter.

I'm just interested in what some of your experiences have been?

The same.  Surprising as has been to me, my gender presentation is working well enough that both men and women treat me as a woman.  They may have secret doubts, but their first guess as to how I want to be treated is woman.  I can't complain!

I can't say I've noticed too much difference.  I think when I'm walking, cars seem to wave me across more, but might be imagining that!

In the UK these differences feel so much less. Gendered greetings are obsolete and everything is very casual so everyone is kinda treated the same.
