Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn't have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn't move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.

First of all that's unhinged as fuck of that guy. I want to believe it's his really dudebro way of asking you your pronouns.
I haven't really voice trained, at least not enough to do my new voice in public on demand. I also dress a lot less femme than I used to most days. Usually cargo pants or jeans, a cami and t-shirt or if I feel like it, just a cami. And it's just really comfy to do so, even in public. I would've put money on never transitioning because I'd never feel ready, just because it's how everything else was going for me at the time. I don't know how I summoned the strength to start HRT while feeling so unprepared, but I'm so thankful to whatever part of me just kept pushing me through it. And everyone who encouraged me.
I don't know what exactly your situation is and if this is viable, but I just kinda started dressing androgynous and sometimes even femme, and coming out to whoever I was most comfortable with at the time one by one.
Yeah he talks like he is an edge lord from 2013.
Unfortunately, it isn't.
I've sort of been doing this as well
