Do not like, do not want. It's much easier now that I'm seen as a man in most such situations and the type of small talk (traffic, weather, news) is more the sort I'm comfortable with, or in the case of sport, can usually say a few non-committal words about and let the sports-bore knock themselves out as ambient noise. I can't remember the last time I was asked about marriage or kids, regardless of my presentation, so I might give off A Vibe there - I'd see it as a microaggression if it ever happened.
Irish people ask absolutely everyone where they're from - it's still racist sometimes of course, and Irish POC routinely get the "But where are you REALLY from?" crap. But for me personally it's not a microaggression: as a white person with an English accent I expect it, even though I'm careful to point out I'm an Irish citizen.
