Those were really lovely statements (well, excluding the indecipherable drunk guy).
It got me thinking back to IRL statements. A few have stayed with me over the years. My step daughter said “You’re beautiful” the first time she met me en femme. The first time I met a close personal GG friend she said “you have a Meryl Streep thing going on” and later observed “you’re just the same person as ever, except with much nicer clothes!” And after being drawn into a bachelorette party, I thanked the girl who invited me for being so welcoming and accepting. She insisted that she had no idea I was a transwoman and said “I I just assumed you were an attractive mature woman.”
I hold onto those comments at times when I don’t feel great about myself.
