FTMs. Subtle changes in social dynamics

Hello all. Im wondering if you all notice or experience subtle (or even not so subtle) changes in the social dynamics when talking with other women or men?

It seems to me, now that I pass pretty much all the time, that there's been a shift in the way women interact with me. Its almost like, they ignore me, or dismiss me or when I'm with a girl friend they largly direct their attention to them.

And with men, it seems like, in large part, they dont even pay any mind to me at all.

Confused about the "feeling like a man" statement

Hello all. Trans masc here. Has anyone ever not really understood the statements, "I just feel like a man. I just feel like a woman?"

For me, ive never really understood what "feeling like a man" or "feeling like a woman" actually was. All I know is that i simply had a strong desire to have been born a boy and had strong desires for a masculine physique with all the bells and whistles.That's what largely drew me to transition. Not ever "feeling like a boy." Even presenting as female, I never thought that I had "felt like a girl, " either.

I'd love to read some of your experiences around this.
