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.

Pretty short rant you don’t even sound angry

>>42140755

passing is a myth because... why exactly? If someone passed you would t know they were trans so how would you really know?
>>
>>42140755
>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.

>>42140861
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.

>>42141190
Were you intersex?
>>42141159
You post here.
Your digital footprint will be trace and all it takes is some bigot with dedication.
>>
>>42141217
You and I both know its superficial.
>>42141247
They will talk shit behind your back.

>>42141495
>Were you intersex?
No. Just not tall and androgynous face.

>You post here
>Your digital footprint will be trace and all it takes is some bigot with dedication
You watched too many hacker movies.
In reality, digital footprint is easy to avoid. Just use a sandboxed browser with self-clearing cookies. That's it.
Even if you confiscate my computer you can't prove that these lines were written from this computer.
Tracking the way you see it in movies also doesn't quite work like that IRL.

4chan people just have the opposite wrong ideas than the normies about cybersec.
Normies think social media is perfectly safe (it clearly isn't) but here people nothing is discrete enough (when it reality discretion absolutely is possible).

>>42141508
People (but especially women) will talk shit behind other people's back anyway. It's not something you can control or should care about that much.
>>
>>42140755
passing is a very low bar to clear, it's essentially that somebody passes for whatever phenotype or social class
passing isn't the same as being 'equivalent to' or 'indistinguishable from' and usually refers to how strangers treat someone they don't really know
stealth means that somebody's trans medical status is basically unknowable except to trusted health professionals and family
someone can pass one moment and then not the next, but can't be stealth one moment and not the next
hope that helps
>>
>>42141915
Well, I guess I'm stealth then.
Other than family and friends, nobody knows for sure. I never brought it up at work, I never bring it up in social interactions, I don't show up at pride events and since I've kept myself quite healthy, I don't have to talk about it with doctors either.
i still find it fascinating how the terminology changes every 5 years or so and almost always towards making things worse and more neurotic rather than clearer and calmer.
We are our own worst enemies more often than not.

everyone knows you are a man

holy fucking honfidence...
>>
>>42141948
could be
there are some that say they're stealth but clearly aren't
I'm not the stealth police, that's for everyone else to figure out on their own tbqh
at the end of the day it doesn't matter tho, if everyone treats u like a woman, and nobody screams slurs at u, or acts weird or uncomfortable around u, then what difference does it make???
the one post about sensing fear is pretty spot on tho ngl
>>
>>42141217
Why did you use Blaire White as an example? It kinda undermined your point imo because she looks awfully clocky. She is the token republican tranny grifter because of that. Everyone she interacts with knows this and treats her accordingly because the political agenda is more important than being based or whatever
>>
>>42141873
Never underestimate the passion of a hater. Never underestimate that youll fuckup some shii.
>It's not something you can control or should care about that much.
You never pass at all.
