    Most of the time when people call me a woman it feels comfortable, but there’s one particular guy that it just kind of… Doesn’t feel right when he does it. I don’t know if he’s just trying too hard to be supportive or what it is but when he calls me a woman it makes me feel uncomfortable. I genuinely cannot tell you why.

      When I was still 100% “cis™” there was this guy at the gym who gave off jealous boyfriend vibes every time I talked to someone other than him. Turns out he was single, and had weirdly specific physical traits he was looking for in a woman. When I asked about non-physical traits he was into, I felt like I was explaining to a toddler that women are people too.

      So while I’m not saying your gut is always right, definitely do not ignore it. Does anyone else feel uncomfortable around him?
