Seeking advice from masc corporate lesbians. What do you do when you catch a homophobic vibe from straight cis men?

I know it's 2024 but here we are still dealing with homophobia. I don't know if I'm thinking too much or it's just my gaydar senses picking up some weird vibes from my boss.

I'm what I would describe as soft masc presenting. It's not very obvious at first cos I do shop at the ladies department of a clothing store. I go by she/her pronouns but I know I give off they/them energy once you know me.

I work in a rather corporate international organisation and lately I've been noticing that my boss (cishet man) avoids my gaze or his good mornings or hi and byes are very clipped. He's usually very chipper around me.

I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything wrong because I have delivered on my work. But there seems to be some kind of negative energy coming towards me. Basically I'm catching a vibe. But I don't want to rock the boat either by asking questions in case I'm just overthinking. I can't think of anything I might have done wrong and I feel I'm generally well liked at work. Also this is a new job and I'm only 3 months in. So I'm really not sure. Sometimes homophobia is not obvious and it's hard to tell if it's because I'm lesbian or if I am actually doing something wrong.

Any other corporate lesbians here with any advice?
