Transference is a psychological term when we look at someone and feel we know something about them, positive or negative, sometime a bit of both.
When dressed in drab I am often seen as fatherly, grandfatherly, or just some old white dude. When I’m dressed en femme I get a very different reaction. I get many more smiles from women and girls and a few sideways look from men. Even though I’m 6’5” I’m seen as less threatening and allowed to take space as a woman.
What responses from the public stand out to those of you who switch between male and female presenting? Which do you like or felt most comfortable with? Have you experienced reactions you didn’t feel comfortable with?

Hi Lea, I am a transwoman, an intersex female, and have been living as such for over two years now.
I came out where I work and was accepted, affirmed, validated and welcomed into the sisterhood. It probably made it a lot easier due to my being intersex as my facial and physical features have always been on the feminine side. I'm only 5'6" and 170 lbs and can speak in a feminine voice.
The reception and response from almost all women I interact with is always positive. I give and receive complements freely and there are lots of smiles! I thoroughly enjoy girl talk with them, and I can say to anyone that it is a genuine fact that girls have a lot more fun!
Hugs,
Ms. Lauren M
