Why do men keep thinking I’m a ‘ladyboy’ ?

r/

I (20F) keep getting mistaken for being a ‘ladyboy’. While I don’t really have a problem with it because I am queer, I feel like I still present myself in a way that does show I am biologically female and I’m not usually explicit about my queerness/gender. I have very long hair, visible breasts and a high voice. Most people their first time meeting me will refer to me as a she/her but I find that a lot of men will question what i have down there. And I do understand that obviously trans/queer people aren’t always easily identifiable either. I just don’t know if it’s because I’m Filipino or something else but tbh I find it a bit odd?

    Someone once told me that a struggle that black women oftentimes have is that there’s this unconscious bias people have that makes them perceive black women as being more masculine than they actually are. 

    I wonder if there’s something like this going on?

    Do you have a lot of cosmetic surgery/wear a lot of makeup? The trans thing has become so frequent now that if a girl has too much I just assume they’re trans.

    It’s a mix of racism/fetishization/transphobia
    (As in fetishing both asian snd trans people)

    Its gross and they watch to much porn.

    I feel a lot of things that are incorrect. I feel that you’re probably presenting your queerness without realizing it, people are picking up on it, and worrying about that serendipitous meme happening to them.
