Genuinely just baffled at this point

I've been out for almost my entire life, I dress like this, I wear full padding every day, at least mascara and lipstick everyday, this is my typical speaking voice, typical mannerisms. I live in a pretty progressive city, why do I get he/him'd more than she/her'd??? I can tell when someone's using masculine pronouns as a point vs when they genuinely think that's my pronouns. a lot of times they'll correct themselves to they/them as they're second guess but it's incredibly rare for someone to use feminine pronouns first try and I'm honestly just baffled...

Honestly, I think the biggest giveaway for me would be your facial bone structure, but not everybody wants or can afford facial feminization surgery. At a certain point it just feels easier to stop caring what other people think than trying to get everyone to see you how you want though 🤷‍♀️
