I can imagine little worse than doing what you just described although that is (in part) due to moderate social anxiety. I behave in the exact opposite way - ignoring people regardless of how much they stand out because I don’t want to stare.

Though I can imagine what you’ve been doing has helped others.

You would?

I use public transit daily and hardly ever interact with anyone. Maybe there is one interaction every 100 days? I don’t frequently see two strangers interacting either, it’s unheard of except maybe for retirees with effectively infinite time.

I can’t really answer/reply to most of your comment but there is something about the last paragraph that I can respond to:

What about bi-/pansexual men? They exist [1][2] and there will be many that are attracted to people in between gender( expression)s.
