The problem with ‘passing’
This is a post I wanted to write for a very long time. So here we go. The concept of passing and trying to suceed with it is fairly widespread thing in the trans community. Maybe I should explain first what it means. Passing is, when the gender you are presenting as (and which might not be the one you were assigned at birth) isn’t questioned by strangers. Example: you are a trans women and everyone you meet perceives you as a woman and never questions this.
