I've done some searches on here regarding passing and people on here feeling that they are getting read and they are getting outed etc.
But then I reflected on dozens of actual women(GGs, the term GG kinda creeps me out in a way) I met that often don't pass. I was at work today and there were at least 4 women I took a look at closely and then was like is that a woman or man dressed. I thought about it for a bit then dismissed it. Later I find out that both of these women had kids and a husband.
So unless you go into analysis mode it seems most just assume what you present yourself as.
Can you imagine being a actual woman(GG) and getting read as a man all the time. I once met a tall black girl at a bar she was about 6'3" and my friends initially were like "Dude that looks like a man". But I approached her and she was in fact born GG. I'm into tall girls so I was flriting with her and dancing with her.
Another time I approached another tall girl and she was a volleyball player, but she had very tomboyish voice and mannerisms not really feminine I thought she might have been a man. I did in fact verify that she was on a local college womens volleyball team.
So I'm thinking I'm not the only one who has met women who we thought may be men but then just shrugged it off and assumed they were GGs and in fact they turned out to be actual women.
This maybe can shed light on the doubt many on here feel when they think they are read, Many actual women have to deal with being read the wrong way everyday! They ignore and carry one.
I'm open to hearing other thoughts on this??
