Even if I had low self-esteem and still wanted to try to have class solidarity with the working class, you can’t have solidarity if they largely don’t respect you

    Probably either jealously you’ve become more feminine/attractive than they thought you ever would or they were just being nice at first and got tired of the act

      Nah, definitely not jealously. I’ve kinda stagnated in my transition, for lack of help. Transitioning is hard enough as it is, and I’m colorblind on top of that. So things like clothes or makeup are really difficult for me.

      Being nice is probably it, tbh. I’ve had women offer to help me, and later turn around and act bewildered that I actually asked for help. Like the request is unreasonable, even though they offered.
