Cute/pretty passing trans girls, what female privileges have you gotten now that you're a cute girl instead of a pathetic manlet?

Setting: I pass as a cute girl because I'm within range of female height (5' 7") and I'm very skinny and have no muscle. After looking at my narrow shoulders and twig arms, it would be hard to believe that I'm a man.

The best one is that strangers are much more protective of me. Increased sympathy:
>on the light rail train
>weird guy sitting next to me grabs my hand and kisses it, nothing more
>someone calls the transit police
>women from across the train come to me like "sweetie, do you want to come sit with us? we saw him grab your hand"
>train stops so police can escort him off, just for kissing my hand

People are much nicer to me in general. My view of people has changed ever since I become good-looking and passing, everyone is friendly, smiles at me, tells me "hi" randomly.

I get some kind of advance from men every time I travel to the city. But it's better than being invisible/ignored. Being able to get easy attention is a privilege.

Strangers constantly try to help me with things like lifting, even if I decline because I can do it myself.

More likely to be given stuff, for example expired tickets that someone is done with for the day.

No longer seen as a physical threat. people now sit their kids close to me

I'm innocent-looking enough to not be profiled by police, or loss prevention in stores. Not suspected to be up to no good.

In manlet mode, I was constantly paranoid about guys picking fights with me for being a weak manlet, making fun of me for being small and short. Now I don't have to worry about anyone picking fights.

Being pleasant to look at means being memorable in job interviews.

Feminists need to die. As someone who transitioned from pathetic beta manlet to cute girl, my life is just better in every way now. I've never been this happy, I feel like I don't even need to succeed to be happy now.

Real talk /lgbt/, what is the appropriate way to approach men and find out if they're interested in you?

Asking for any given situation;
never met him to closest friend, on the street to in an intimate setting, etc. Obviously there isn't any one size fits all here.

Obviously the idea is to avoid being a creep to straight people, I'd rather maintain some sort of social dignity, and decorum.

Whats the weakest excuse you've heard from someone about why they can't be a girl even though they want to?

The weakest one I hear a lot is always "I'm too hairy"

If you didn't live in an oppressive or hostile environment, are you a coward for not having transitioned early?

Can someone please explain why this person, with or without facial hair, is consistently read as male? On the other hand, I sometimes appear male but am usually read correctly as my birth sex, female. I just got a haircut today and thought I would pass for a younger boy, but I'm somehow known to be female and in my 30's despite the camouflage shirt. I'm Pre-Testosterone, born in 1983, but 1 year post hysterectomy. Please explain why this person who died when I was "negative" 38 is consistently read as male in all 20th century photos despite (allegedly) having hypospadias and a half-empty scrotum? What is their name and correct pronouns?

I'm hoping to take advantage of the community gaydar here, so please, tell me what y'all think!

So there's this guy at work. He's 20, I am 18. Honestly, he's cute, problem is, I can't decipher him! Here's some of the stuff he's said to me:

Twice within a few minutes, in reference to back when he wrestled in high school:

"Yup, back when I used to hump guys."

I was adjusting my belt in the office and he asked if I was (paraphrased) whacking it.

We were waiting to meet up with a friend, so we went to grab a bite to eat. He said to me,

"I wonder if people think we're dating?"

Then again, on the other side of things, he's pointed out some girls and said to me,

"They seem around your age."

and he frequently would complain to me about relationship troubles, etc. etc. and how this or that happened.

I'm sure there's more but I forget. lol.

Anyway: please tell me what y'all think! I'm not really interested in making a move, I just want to see what the community thinks of it all.

Why do trans girls often have such an extremely submissive, masochistic sexuality & personality? Pic unrelated.

What is it with ftms and choosing weird, oddly-spelled or uncommon names?

Isn't your goal to be seen as a man and not a special snowflake tranny freak to the rest of the world?

I rarely see this happen with mtfs.

Ok faggots, this is final definitive poll on shaving, let's once and for all determine what need's to be shaved in most cases, and what parts of body should be left alone.

You can discuss in comments rationale for your vote. Personally, I find armpit hair on twinks crazy hot.
