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.
