Well Miranda certainly in my personal life I no longer hold much back though I used to.... And as I become more confident and comfortable as a woman it just gets easier to not feel so dysphoric especially around men concerning skills I still have that probably aren't seen as feminine by most guys... Im simply me and if it bothers them they can move on as will I But they are dating me and obviously know me very intimately so I just am who I am
Now work is a whole different deal.... There they just know me as a woman and treat me as one and Id like to keep it that way so I feel under more pressure to conform to cis peoples expectations....
I mean my bosses are men and while it would be nice to just explain exactly why and how my jeep was broke and how I would fix it I felt more comfortable just letting the men be men and me "just a clueless helpless girl" offering suggestions
