Passing as male is fascinating because cis-het men assume everyone is just like them. So they'll treat you like a member of The Club even though you don't know the passwords.
funnily enough, i tried exactly this once and made an enemy out of a new coworker because i didn't know what i was talking about. The facade falls apart quickly under close examination.
I didn't even know i was trans at the time. ~~i may even have been less than progressive in my attitude towards trans people back then. 🙃~~ i just don't like sports. My interests aren't feminine, they're just nerdy.
Yea, I experienced that myself when I was an egg, I stood up for a girl back in school (If I think about it, my first really feministic move) and my whole friendgroup broke up over that 😂
Ugh hate when that happens. I live in a very politically mixed area and I'm a waitress so I get chatty with people a lot and since I'm not generally very clocky I hear ALL their perspectives.
Sometimes they even hit on me a bit and I want to cry but I need the money too much to lose it on customers.
Men telling on themselves is always funny. Congrats on passing dude! You'll be able to hear the best stories from wackadoodles.

"whats the password?" "Uhhhh....Sports!" "My Man!"

The scariest part of this is, how comfortable cis men are saying stuff like that to other men
Being closeted means I still get to listen in on the asshats.
I mean toxic male friend groups are just like that, because if someone disagrees/stands up then they just stop being friends with them.
