This happened to me a while ago, but i started thinking about this again because something similar happened to me today. I was walking to the store, and walked past some men who were talking to each other. I had to kind of squeeze past them cause they took up all the space of the sidewalk. I said “Hey, can i get past here please” and then they all looked at me shocked and kind of angry, and one of them said in a kind of threatening way “Wtf are you?” as in what gender/sex am I. It kind of made me happy, to see they couldn’t tell, but also scared that just me existing made them so angry. I kind of already know the answer, but I wanted to ask anyways: Why are so many people so angry when they can’t tell whats ‘in my pants’?
Picrel was me for a second when he asked me that question
Many people seem to have different “scripts” for different genders/sexes. They become a fundamentally different person when in the presence of the same or opposite sex. The sex ratio in the room determines what personality they pull out, and the less sure they are of that ratio, the less certain they are of which personality to pull out.
On a fundamental level, a lot of binoids and cisoids look at someone who’s both sexually and aesthetically confusing, and they don’t know how they’re supposed to act around you or how to talk to you, what version of themselves they’re supposed to be when they interact with you, and they find you annoying for making something they think is supposed to be basic for simple human interaction needlessly complex… like they’re thinking “pick a side retard, stop making me question my assumptions about human sexual diversity and how to interact with others along such lines”, y’know, just in a less long-winded way.
They could also simply be transphobic/homophobic as well… sometimes it’s no deeper than that…
