Its really weird because as a trans person I "clock" people fairly regularly. It's hard to explain what it is that I'm seeing to someone who doesn't get it though because it's not really the shit that the crazy transvestigators are looking for.

Yea, I'm pretty sure we see things that most people are blind to. A side effect or our own self criticism. It's like you see dozens of tiny cues, all of witch are also common in cis women, but the right combination of cues will trigger my spidey sense.

I don't think it's something that can be learned. But even if I could teach it, I wouldn't. With great power and all that..
