I think HRT is making people treat me differently and it is making me kinda upset. People at work are treating me like a lovable dumbass, very nicely but like im a child or something and I really don't understand it, I've never been treated like this before. I'm closeted, but HRT has had a lot of effects on me and has made me look different and i have long hair but still clearly present as a dude. My boss, who is apparently very scary to other coworkers just smiles and laughs when I make a mistake and tells me what I should do differently, and he even like talks down on me and gives me praise for just doing my job? "Oh I know you are struggling with this right now, but I have noticed you are getting better and better! A bit longer and you will be just as good as anyone else!" Someone else came up to me and apologized for yelling in another part of the store and wanted to be sure that I didn't think he was yelling at me, like he asked someone else to tell me he wanted to talk to me so we could have time for this chat and I really didn't even notice. Everybody always tries to be so helpful to me, and always wants to help with whatever they can. I had to carry something that was heavy from one place to another and my co-worker tells me "Hey, thats kinda heavy. Would you like me to get that for you?" and I'm no "Uh dude, this is literally a regular part of our job? I think I can handle this."
I just hate like I'm treated like I'm a child instead of an adult, does that happen to anyone else? Is it just the pheromones that estradiol and progesterone give off or something?
People are gentle with women. Why do you hate it? It's what you signed up for.
Asher Diaz
The problem is I'm not a woman yet. I am obviously a man. And is this how it always is with women? Because I still wanna be treated like an adult and not a kid.
Logan Sanchez
this is how men treat women, yes
John Baker
>is closeted transgirl and wants to be a woman >is treated like a girl/young woman >confused why is (s)he treated that way
you’re literally winning, you got what you signed up for early and you are complain lol
Adam Ortiz
I want to be seen as a woman but not treated this way I guess? I suppose I don't want woman to be treated like retards, then.
Colton Green
that's how young adults woman are treated (20s) once u're in ur 30s, people will treat you less like a retard
i’m not out irl but i am online nd my texting "passes" nd dis is similar to how ppl that don't know me treat me. once they get to know me they change, but being treated liek this is the default..
it can be annoying but it is what it is. you have to take advantage of it. if they think ure cute u may get gifts nd free shit lol
Camden Gray
>babby's first mansplaining you should learn to take advantage of it like cis women do, being underestimated is very very useful
Hunter Bennett
i dunno if i get mansplained to, i am a very manly manmoder, i look 100% like a man. i just wanted to know if its like a difference in pheromones or something that causes this
Joshua Powell
>thinks she looks like a man >looks like a underaged boy >treated like a child many such cases. do what said
Easton Wright
It's very likely pheremones that are playing a role. There are many layers to social interaction. People could pick up on subtle social cues that you are kinda a little bitch or they might think you're gay or something. Hard to say.
Grayson Rivera
tsmt! op-user should abuse the hell outta this
random men bought me games so many times cos i was sad lol. i even told them im not cis lol. i don't even remember those people's usernames anymore but yeah if they think ure cute u get free shit. u shouldn't fight it but use it for ur own advantage lol
if ure sad you'll get comfort, nice words, compliments and similar. as a man ur feelings mean shit lol.
u should complain less and take advantage of it. no one wants to be treated like a retard, not even actual retatds lol, but it has its perks and u should take advantage of it user
Ryder White
lol at my job they bully me and laugh that I take it up the ass.
Justin Gonzalez
im literally not cute. like, i dont mean this in a bdd type of way or whatever, i mean it in an objective reality type of deal. started at 24 and only a year on hormones, without good genetics.
its not how i look, im just trying to figure out what else it could be.
Jason Brooks
It doesn't matter what you think about how you look or act, people are obviously percieving you a certain way and that's why you're being treated like a silly little boy.
Lincoln Cox
could be ur personality, behavior, or the way you talk. looks often don't matter unless someone wants to fuck u
all examples of perks ive given u, ive had them without those people knowing how i look liek. literally ur personality is all what matters. and since ure a transgirl, even if closeted some of your behaviors are feminine nd that enough for some ppl
Luis Anderson
yeah maybe its because i try to be nice and talkative and smile whenever im interacting with someone, and i laugh a bit too easy. people that i fucking hate there end up treating me like a friend because i dont ever wanna act rude
Jacob Stewart
if you're too nice people will treat you like a dummy
Chase Mitchell
it's a good thing you don't know how men treat men lol
Christopher Gomez
this thread, by the way, is the rankest of bait >someone just offered me a car but i wanna buy my OWN car!! lmao
Austin Morgan
yeah because wondering why you are being treated like a dumbass who cant do things themselves is bait. that they are implying i have such a small ego that they have to be careful not to break it so i dont break down crying or something. that i cannot do simple things myself because its too hard for me. its fucking humiliating it feels like.
