    People don’t ask that of me; in fact, my own friends ask me, “Tanis, why are you trying so hard to avoid being perceived, and why is it working?”

        It’s all a complicated intersection of being intensely asexual and sex-repulsed, being incredibly afraid of ever being called a creep or a pervert or a molester, or worse, and navigating spaces where a lot of people think that trans women are sex-crazed perverts.

        I have mastered the art of not drawing attention to myself in public.
