I'm enby and I've been on HRT for just over 7 months, but I'm keeping a lot of my masc presentation (such as my villainous moustache~) just with a touch of femme in my nail polish, eyeliner, and pixie-cut hair.
Still, there's definitely been a change in how I'm percieved. In addition to the casual indifference of passers-by, I'm starting to get vaguely confused or perplexed glances. This has been wonderful, and I can't wait to start getting "they"'d by well-meaning folks too busy to ask my pronouns first. =D
Definitely can relate to the perplexed glances and general confusion from other people. When I was in the "in-between" stage of my transition, people would stare at me often. Whenever I met someone, I could always tell that "calculating...must find gender" from people looking me up and down.
