What does being clocked mean?
being clocked is when someone notices youre trans against your will
I nod at women. But I nod a lot.
So, if I read it correctly, you think strangers not nodding hello means they recognise you're trans?
I mean it in the sense of being percieved as not-man, not nececarily trans.
Strangers not nodding hello could just mean they're not as friendly as you're used to. Where I live (UK) it would take a lot for us to acknowledge a stranger is even there let alone nod or say hello. You'd get a thanks for holding a door or letting someone passed but without that interaction we're not even gonna glance in your direction.
i don't think it's objective fact but it does make me feel that way sometimes, yeah. Maybe it's a cultural or age difference.
