I’m scared, confused and hopeless

Hi y’all! So I’m a 29 y/o straight trans woman and pre hrt. Im 5’6 lean boxy built. I guess you could say I lean more androgynous with a few masculine features like lower sharp eyebrows and a straight nose. I have medium length curly bob and I dress androgynous (flannels and jeans). I plan on starting hrt in the next few months.

I work retail and I’d say about 85% of customers label and gender me correctly as female until I start talking. That’s when they do double takes and get silent and awkward, some of them breaking eye contact and looking to the floor and others just walking away when they were so peppy at first.

I live in Florida and surprisingly I get gendered correctly by old people more than millennials. By default I use the mens restroom and they all do double takes whenever they come in and double check if they’re in the right restroom (a little kid told his dad “why is there a girl in the boys bathroom that’s so weird”)

My voice terrifies me, it’s not super deep nor is it too high. I don’t know if it’s my voice or my mannerisms that clock me. I get too excited when talking to people and make a lot of facial expressions and try to talk in a higher pitch voice that only ends up cracking mid conversation. I there hope…

is jessie’s vinyl considered rare??

I bought this off one of my swiftie friends cause i love love love toy story and she had decided to keep Jessie’s hat for herself. I’m not sure if this is considered rare tho since I’m assuming a lot were pressed.

Is the Jessie Vinyl rare?

Taylor’s website said collectors edition but I’m not sure if it was a one and done limited drop. Do we think there might be more considering it’s also licensed by Disney? Thoughts?
