    It’s a bit delayed to be responding to this comment, but I wanted to in case op is still hanging around this thread.

    1. He doesn’t necessarily need to be worried about ‘looking different’. A lot of trans people, and trans men in particular, completely pass. Testosterone is strong as hell. People just always stick with their ‘we can always tell’ talking points, because when they see passing trans people, they don’t assume they’re trans.

    2. The phrasing behind your second point is kind just of a rehash of a common anti lgbtq sentiment. The problem is, at least anecdotally for myself, that the people who would harass you consider that to be anything showing you’re in some form queer or showing any pride in who you are. It’s essentially a demand that people entirely hide part of them if they want to to be treated with respect.
