As a cis man I have had the opposite effect, wherein trans men have misidentified me as one of them. No motherfucker I am an attempt at recreating the Norse-Gaels where they stopped at Scottish and durable, I am barrell chested like a mother fucker that mass sticking out is mostly my ribs.
When bro is such a bro you completely forget he’s trans.
My wife’s got a friend this happens with all the time. She’ll be talking to him and something about our oldest will come up. She’ll make some remark to him thinking he’ll relate, entirely forgetting that he had to transition so he didn’t experience whatever it was the same way.
I learned that my coworker was a lesbian three times before it stuck. What made it stick was during a talk she was having about LGBT issues, where she referenced how obviously gay she looks. I guess the short hair with bright dye was a tell-tale sign to other people. I just enjoy chatting with her, and that sort of thing just didn’t come up very often.
This reminds me of a burn my wife gave to a random guy that decided to hit on her one day she was out running errands while I was taking care of the kids.
Deadass just first thing out of her mouth after he hit her with the “I won’t tell if you won’t,” to her saying she’s married. “Ew, I’m gonna need you to tell me what about any of this (gesturing to her entire Butch Lesbian look) made you believe I was straight so I can immediately remedy it.” I almost felt bad for the guy for a second. Almost.
I have a not really a problem problem, I’m a straight dude that’s into girls that have the “butch lesbian” look. I’m with my amazing partner now but before that I had something akin to your story happen twice!
Will no one think of the dudes into butch girls?!? /jk
To be fair, she was more disgusted by him responding that way to the “I’m married” thing than anything else.
Oh right, I totally missed that part. Yeah no means no and that’s very fucked up. My bad.
Funnily enough, most of the butches I’ve encountered are bi 🤷♀️
My gaydar has been broken since the 80s. Whatever.
However it was calibrated before I can promise it’s even worse now. I’m a straight dude. I’m a dudely dude. I dress like an extra on My Name is Earl. Other than crocheting and sewing my hobbies are all very “guy” hobbies. I’m currently sporting the worst mullet you’ve ever seen (it was a bet, ok?).
However, I get told with alarming regularity “I thought you were gay”. I think it’s because I’m friendly without trying to get in anyone’s pants.
The mullet definitely would make me think you’re queer!
Is that a thing now? I don’t keep up. I’m ready to cut it clean again. Not because of any coded thing, but because it’s hot as fuck. But I have to keep it a few more days, then I need to find the time to get it cut.
!crochet@lemmy.ca isn’t very active. I haven’t made anything in awhile either or I’d post something.
Good on you for not judging people by their looks.
I had a “similar” thing with a British colleague.
We have been working together for months already, then once he made a joke of aiming to be the first POC James Bond. That was the point I realized he’s not white. I of course seen that he had a darker (brown) skin tone, but I didn’t pay any attention to it. Turns out his parents are from South Asia.
Just a little off the top, please
haircuts are a form of top surgery though…
Gender-affirming care
Can’t get more top than a spiffy do
Mike may have been binding before.
The tags you can barely see say he had F cups
Yeah I’m guessing he was passing quite well if it wasn’t obvious to op, unless ops head is completely up their own ass.
Probably quite likely that Mikes mood was the most noticable thing about him. He was probably glowing.
Why did I also assume his name was Mike?
It’s written in the drawing?
I should not comment on things right after waking up.
I think you should do it more.
Safe assumption with white men below a certain class.
#GIRL HE HAD F CUPS
Sorry? I was lookinh at his face.
“Nah I got something else cut”
Just a little fade
F cups? Why such a comically large choice?
He didn’t have a character customisation screen before being born
Taken off. Not put on. Mike was AFAB.
The comic threw me for min but in retrospect it makes sense.
Damn. Wish I was Assigned Fcup At Birth.
