Women compliment each other all the time. Doesn’t matter if we’re cis or trans, doesn’t matter if we get clocked or not, it’s just something we do. Not only because it’s polite, not only because we’ve all been indoctrinated by the patriarchy to need affirmation and try to help each other out with that, but usually, most of the time, because we just mean it. The biggest favor you can do to yourself is to learn to take a compliment. You’re not exempt from being beautiful just because you’re trans, and you don’t have to pass for that, either. And honestly, it doesn’t fucking matter if you get clocked or not when people are nice and respectful to you. There are people out there who don’t mind if you are trans. Tons of them.

Ok honestly you’re so right about this. I’m unironically lucky to get awkward complements instead of be called slurs.
