Passing is a myth as it centers on the eye of the beholder.

Transitioning is a case by case basis as some will be necessitated by material conditions while some it will be intangible or untouchable like emotions and experiences.

If I were to be wrong then do tell me how am I wrong and why amd I wrong as I wish to empathize and sympathize as an observer.

passing is a myth because... why exactly? If someone passed you would t know they were trans so how would you really know?

>Passing is a myth as it centers on the eye of the beholder.
By that standard beauty is a myth too as it also centers on the eye of the beholder.
Fact of the matter is that while beauty in general and passing in particular does have a degree of subjectivity, there really are a common set of features that makes one more beautiful and a tranner more of a passoid or not.
Where too many trannies get it wrong is when they get into their head a brainworm that makes them compare themselves with the top 1% of their destination.
Your repper sister will never look like Henry Cavill or John Krasinski but that doesn't mean much.
I will never look like Scarlett Johansson but I do look like your random 6/10 woman you see on the street in my country. And that's good enough.
Age cures a lot of these brainworms eventually as well. Eventually one figures it out that there's more years to be lived as not-young and that personality really does matter a lot more.

You should probably stop poisoning your mind on 4chan then and support your brother

>>42140869
If you look at their history then yeah.
>>
>>42140902
Beauty is just one of the subtle facets on observation.
What about their personal profile? Even if you do not omit that you are a tranner your background will obviously tell that. Even Alex Consani can and will get clock if you look at them intensely from the way they act the way they move the way they think the way they move.

accidentally type it twice lmao
>>
>>42140904

.... but you can't always look at someone's history or know that... you're just talking about looking st pics online not passing
>>
>>42140970
The moment they knew you were a tranner they will always see you as a tranner.
You did not pass at all.
>>
>>42140986
Idk what you're talking about i literally don't have any social media. There's practically nothing on the internet with my dead name or any old pictures attached. I don't live a kind of life where there is a "they" to have an opinion of me. I'm not in school worrying about what the popular girls think of me anymore.
>>
>>42140993
You got a job or what?
Are you a stateless entity?
>>
>>42140942
How would you even look at my history?
My passport says female. I even got my graduation papers to be on my new name.
I don't have public social media and didn't have social media before transition. I don't have pre-transition pictures online at all.

As for movement, you might have had a point in 2010. But 17 years on HRT and being intentional about things have made that point obsolete as well.

>>42141087
Not the anon you're replying but >>42141159

I do have a job. Hired as female. Nobody there ever knew me even as manmoder.
My passport says female too. So does my birth certificate.

Cis people don't "clock" trannies, they "clock" insecurity and fear. I refuse to live in fear. And I'm not insecure about it either.
Several years ago someone did clock me at a festival (although he was still unsure about it) and I felt... nothing. I even had a beer with the guy and laughed about it.

Yes, my height and genetics helped (and continue to help) but the biggest hurdle is a mental one. Confidence goes a long way.
The real limits are much less common than you want to think. And since I'm married I also don't have the pressure of attracting someone or any of those youthful insecurities.

The biggest tell that you pass isn't when people gender you, but when they treat you according to their gender biases. In other words, the positive can be performative, but the negative almost never is. This is true even when people know you're trans. I never heard a republican man misgender Blaire. Do you know what that means? It means in their minds, she's a woman. They'd trip over themselves trying to correct their instincts just to sound based. But they don't even do that.

Beautifully put. And absolutely correct.

Your digital footprint will be trace and all it takes is some bigot with dedication.

>>42141217
