    I would say in general men get more respect and attention but less sexual attention. And women get more sexual attention but less respect and professional attention.

      I’m going to guess (and I freely admit these are just guesses) two things:

      1. You’re a man.
      2. You haven’t read the rules of the community you’re posting to.

      How close am I?

    From my own experiences with being a man, and being seen as a man, I definitely got way more respect than I do now. I also got a good deal of attention, but it wasn’t the kind of attention you were talking about.

    Being a woman I get a lot of sexual attention, literally just yesterday even. And definitely get a lot less respect from people than I used too, even when I am able to pass I get less. Got even less when I was visibly trans and couldn’t even remotely pass.

    I mostly agree but it’s all bell curve all the time. There are always extremes that’ll be the exception to the rule.

    Broadly I agree. There’s narrow slivers of outliers on both sides, but yes, the overall pattern leans this way.
