Had an old man on the tram call me “strong young woman” and ask me to carry him up the stairs a few months ago, that was kinda awkward and people stared
like once or twice a month maybe. sometimes there’s months where it doesn’t happen, and sometimes it happens twice in a day. it’s pretty random and somehow doesn’t depend at all on what I’m wearing, if I’ve even shaved or done my hair or whatever.

It happened a few more times than that iirc

I think this might be because people here just rarely gender at all, i‘ve had months where i wasn’t called either one.
That’s what I’ve been saying. It’s hard to gauge how people gender you in their head unless they talk about you in third person
