@hollie @lydiaschoch All of this! When I presented as a woman, I had no qualms about sharing stuff like this, and my intentions would be misunderstood (in that they thought I had them, and I didn’t, because to me the human body is no different from a beautiful sculpture); now that I present as a man, I have to be careful again because the same words uttered by a man are (can be perceived as) creepy.

Either way, I’m always doing a mental pee-pee dance of unexpressed compliments.
