@futurebird My total lack of interest in cars, sports shaped my youth. In later years, switching to a vegetarian diet still causes comments.
People (of all ages and gender) freak out over my bag with a pink unicorn on it.
Or when looking to buy new glasses, I'm not allowed to look at the shelves with "feminine" frames.
I try to be an ass about it and respond along the lines of: "That's a nasty insecurity you have there. You should get that looked at by a trained professional."
