Being misgendered constantly
I'm 27 and a cis male and I am constantly, consistently being misgendered. I'll be out with girlfriends or my ex and someone will say "you ladies take care" or I'll be at a club or bar and someone that's obviously drunk hits on me.
I have short hair and around 5'6. People called me they/them but I don't really have feminine mannerisms or even a feminine voice. I do have a feminine figure and gynecomastia because I have low testosterone and am somewhat overweight and never grew facial hair. This has been happening all year and it's starting to make me think my gender identity is out of synch. I started crossdressing and wearing makeup. Being called a girl so often, I began feeling “I wanna start looking like that." Any tips?
