[[she informes me that no matter how well i think I pass, she sees people giving me a double take, ( its not that I have not noticed this occasionally too, its hard to blend in if your almost 6ft )

She lets me know she doesnt understand why I am this way, Its obvious i am a guy, no matter where I go i just look like a guy dressed up.]]


She`s really the wrong person to ask when it comes to stuff like that, as are other family or friends that you`ve known for a long time and seen regularly.
they`ll more or less Always see you as you were or have been, a guy that turned into a woman, and New people you meet will see you as woman that used to be a guy (or if you`re lucky just a woman fullstop).
it`s a subtle but important difference. like watching yourself grow old, you don`t see it daily.
so I would give too much weight to her opinion, it really doesn`t count for much based on this bias.
and let me guess, it`s usually middle aged guys that give you the double takes and approach you with a question or something "witty"?
Just smile politely and walk away quickly! it`s perfectly normal!   (for guys anyway) LOL.
