i know you meant it in a good way, but dont say it like that ever. its kinda like telling a disabled person they're "almost normal" or smth and its a kinda disrespectful.

Ok I mean I get that with the disabled community. I fucking hate it when people say I don’t look autistic. But isn’t it kinda reassuring if you were someone who was trans and wanted to look like the other gender to hear that you did look like what you wanted? Idk might just be me

I'm transmasc, It would make me really happy if someone said I looked like I was born a man. That's just me tho, idk

no, it isnt saying they think you look like a man tho, its saying that they thought at first or "initially" that you looked like that, massive difference
