I was thinking about how we've set "passing" as the gold-standard" of CD/TS but I wonder if we're misinterpreting what we see.
In other words, just because no one says anything or gives us a second glance should we consider that passing? There's nothing to suggest that passers by recognized or thought of us as a female which is what we're talking about when passing -right? Or is "passing", dressing female and going unnoticed as a male dressed as a female? It sounds like splitting hairs but there really is a difference and we might be interpreting one as the other.
