Increasingly since coming to terms with myself, I’ve been interacting with more and more people who kind of are what I aspire to be in my gender expression. Some of these people are in my workplace, running events, and it is extremely awkward to be working in close connection with people who I’m almost magnetically drawn to wanting to ask about makeup or where they buy their accessories, when in fact I still present as an awkward, clunky guy. I’ve been scared I’ve come off as a creeper or like I’m attempting to flirt with them or act untoward. How do you deal with this? Does anyone else have that moment they have to meet someone and stop yourself from just spouting “hi, you are very gender can I just be you?”
