I get misgendered no matter what I do and it's making me lose hope

Venting

The title says it all. I've been on HRT for a year and it's working. I have boobs and more of a feminine figure than I hoped for. I have long hair that I wear in a feminine style. I wear a full face of makeup every day. I exclusively wear women's clothes. I'm trying to voice train.

And yet none of it makes a difference. I still get sir-ed and he/him-ed and "hey man"-ed whenever a stranger talks to me. I even got he/him-ed at the pharmacy while picking up my HRT.

The only times I actually get treated as a woman in public are when men sexually harass me or try to touch me. Which is also happening on a weekly basis.

It's miserable and I don't know what to do. It makes me want to give up.
