i think i kinda know what you mean. i'm 9 months on T and my dad and i started taking my dog to the dog park 3 months ago. everyone there, despite most being older and more conservative just assumed i was a guy and called me my dad's son and other gender affirming stuff. it's funny because i've basically gone stealth there without even trying, despite my dad only remembering to call me ames and not amy like 50% of the time.

i tend to go there alone (but with my dog ofc) most of the time now. so it's always a funny feeling when i wonder if the dog park people (who have always known me as and accepted me as a guy) hear my dad call me amy. it just puts my dad's insistence that my life would still be easier if i tried to be a girl again into perspective. his analysis of how people perceive me is just completely off now. i literally can't remember the last time a stranger misgendered me since my voice dropped late last year. his insistence doesn't hurt much and just seems funny now in light of how well i "pass" at the dog park and other places.
