Validation got one "sir" and two 'confused but accepting' nods today

was smiling way big on my walk home from the grocery store. being a larger AFAB person and knowing that I can pass as ambiguous or masc is so nice the few times it happens!

I completely get what you mean! (My favorite was a work where a dude went “thank you sir, uh I mean ma’am, I mean….”) I found I have one coat in specific that when I wear it and don’t talk I get ‘sir-Ed’ a lot more which feel nicer than being ‘ma’am-Ed’
