    I love you too!

    Serious tho, doesnt this itself “clock” a person for being trans? I can understand if person has lots of trans pride color stuff (like me), but if theres no outward display of being trans isnt this the same as people questioning cis womens gender? Ive always been curious about this, because ive seen people that i myself have assumed to be trans but didnt approach them because of being deathly afraid of offending them or being wrong

      Yeah, i don’t think it’s good to say anything that would make someone feel clocked, but I find recently I’ve been getting a lot of what you might call “nods of queer recognition” and I find that really affirming.

      I don’t think it’s bad if you clock someone in your head we’re probably more hyper aware of tells because we focus on our own so much, to me the issue is when you out them verbally.

        For sure! I think this is about the way i play it. I like to compliment their outfit tho, easy way to make someone feel good and also doesnt come anywhere near outing.
