I'm a trans woman. Before I transitioned, the grand total number of compliments I ever received was a big fat 0. Now I receive at least one compliment from strangers every week.

Hey, that's pretty good... for a woman.

Also a trans woman, same experience. Somehow getting compliments all the time has been one of the hardest parts to adjust to. Dunno how to respond to them, and can't distinguish which ones are creepy because they all feel good after so long of getting none.
