Excellent question. On the other hand, as a trans woman, I can absolutely confirm strangers to apparently constantly thinking about other people’s genitals. They seem very interested in all the details of someone elses sex life, yet never want to fuck. Disappointing.
as a kid, having long hair was enough to have a very similar experience. when i was really small, it was common for kids to run around naked, and a small girl saw me and ran to her mom screaming „mom, mom, that girl has a peepee“, being really confused. i was, in fact, not a girl, but long hair overwrote that for 99% of people.
similarly, i was constantly told that i was using the wrong restroom (even when using a pissoir).
if i had had a penny for each time i overheard people whisper „is she a boy or girl?“, i’d be filthy rich.
as an aside, exactly 0 people asked me for my pronouns before the age of 18.
Reminds me of people getting really pissy if babies aren’t correctly coloured. A baby with lots of yellow, orange, green things? No car or doll either? How are we supposed to know what’s between its legs?!
Anyway, cultural expectations are annoying and creepy.
