People will see the old you for a while after you change. Keep going. Their eyes catch up.

Reputation updates slowly, because people are working from a version of you they assembled months ago and have no particular reason to revise it. The delay feels like being disbelieved, which tempts you either to give up on the change or to argue about it, and neither speeds anything up. Consistency is what redraws their picture. The lag is normal, and it ends.

Keep going for another month without pointing at the difference. Let somebody notice on their own. If an old assumption comes up, correct it once and move along.
