Why does everyone like me now?

I been on HRT for over a year.

Last December, my apartment building got flooded due to heavy snowmelt (I live right next to a big river) so most tenants opted to move somewhere else, except me. I was literally the only one left in the building.

After the building was repaired in May, new people I've never seen before move in. Including a LOT of cis women.

For some reason, these cis woman absolutely ADORE me. They get excited when they see me in the halls, they say my name with enthusiasm, and they say Hi or Hello every single time.

Even their boyfriends or guyfriends at the very least show me respect even if they don't like me.

I am obviously trans as I haven't had vocal therapy or FFS yet, but I try my best.

As someone who is an autistic introvert that's been subject to physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse almost my entire life, this is really taking me by surprise and I am not used to it at all.

I'm really not used to so many people liking me this much.

I don't quite understand why they're so...infatuated with me?
