A question to those beyond the RLE.

Did you notice any change in the way your environment took you compared to your old male role? Did they begin to look at you as something "less intelligent, emotionally imbalanced and mainly good for washing dishes or making coffee?"
Some transwomen claim that they are no more taken as seriously as when they were in male role. What they say is considered "womens talk". Have you experienced something alike?
I have not noticed big differences. I think what I say, is still taken seriously, only I consider much more where I open my mouth, especially if men are present. It is expected that I make coffee in the office, if I happen to be around. Men are excluded.
Women tell me stories, they would never tell to a man. And men open doors for me. For some reason I find it a bit uncomfortable.
