It's a bit of a disappointment.

I often ask people, what kind of a guy am I?

What do you see?

And unfortunately, people often respond that they see a nerd, which I never was before.

I was always really kind of cool and popular and hip and whatever.

And now I'm 5'4".

You know, I work out, but I'm not real muscular and I'm pretty small.

You know, I'm pale-skinned and my hair started thin and I've got glasses.

And of course, you know, I'm also...

You know, I'm the sensitive guy now.

I used to be, you know, the Butch Dyke, and I was seen as very aggressive.

And I was more masculine in many ways, outwardly anyway, before testosterone.

And now I don't have to prove anything, so I can sort of lay back and talk with my hands and, you know...

All that stuff that you're not supposed to do.

So I'm still very much learning how to be a man in the world.

There's a lot to learn.

Men, walking the street is a constant battle.

It's a constant contest.

I began to notice once I started to pass as a man that single men walking alone down the street will veer away from their path to walk towards me, sort of get in my space, and then veer back.
