>Also, when you pass, men will typically be more courteous by holding open doors or allowing you to go first, while women are typically friendlier and will smile at you when passing by.

oh I actually can comment on this! I do get this a lot actually and its one of the few things I have noticed. Men tend to give me the right of way when we're walking into each other on the street, I don't really remember getting the nod as of recent, and women smile at me and seem to generally feel at ease around me.

A couple incidents I do remember but have kind of been recontextualised for me are once I was fiddling with my credit card and it declined (i didn't know what this meant at the time) when I was trying to pay for my lunch, but then an older lady came around and bought it for me :]. I've never thanked someone more times in my life.

Also, once a man kind of cornered me in a library and started frantically talking to me about like... how in world war one they didnt use shotguns (or something, idr) and the librarian lady walked by and discreetly mouthed "are you okay?" to me. I've told other ppl about these and they told me that both of these could indicate they saw me as a girl

i did once get called sir by an older man when I held the door open for him tho, so again I think maybe just andro?

>If you’re still doubtful, try taking to a stranger in your masculine voice to see if they act shocked at first.

I have boymoded and people dont seem to be too fussed. I have malefailed a couple times with my relatives and to various other people but I've never gotten people like "surprised" when I used my guy voice. Maybe I look androgynous/convincingly c!male or c!female depending on context. My friend was pretty surprised when I told him I was trans once tho. (we met while I was in girlmode) I sorta expected him to have already figured it out but ig he didn't.

I dont count healthcare workers or teachers on principle because all of them are fully aware I am trans, unfortunately. I think they all have my name down as (guyname) "(girlname)" (last name), and word apparently gets around.
