“Clocked” can mean you noticed anything unseen by others, whether autism or transgender or a closeted gay person or an affair or a plainclothes detective or combat veteran or grifter. And it’s often because you noticed similarities to yourself, whether you too are hiding that part of yourself or open about it. You’re right that it’s used by transphobic people as well, although I bet they get it wrong as often as right.
Ah, thank you; my definition was only how I first learned the term, the desire to find trans friends but not want to make them feel they weren’t ‘passing’ ehe
It makes sense that it’s also used in other contexts!
Recognised as trans, usually femmes. Something ‘transvestigators’ try to do.
