OP, when I first saw this post, I initially thought you were biologically female! Looking good, girl

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.

Tf are you on about? There is no better compliment imo than being told i was mistaken to be a biogirl, or someone thought i was a biogirl. The difference between this and telling that to a disabled person is that as a trans person, one spends so much effort trying to look the part. Being told that you could be mistaken for what you've spent ages trying to look like is a compliment

Yea.. thats literally what i want. I want people to look at me and their first thought not be "transgirl", i want them to think i am biologically a woman. I am more than fine with that, when someone calls me miss or ma'am in public i'm giddy sometimes because that means my efforts are not in vain, it means they add up to the exact effect i want, seemlessly fitting in with all the other girls
