I've noticed a lot of talk around here about whether or not men can look good as women, and whether or not passing is possible, and it got me thinking: maybe worrying so much about "passing" is barking up the wrong tree. I know I used to think that that was the ulitmate goal. To walk around in public and just have people think you're female. As I spend more time dressing, I question not only whether that's a reasonable goal, but what's the point in even bothering? Without the use of hormones and/or surgery, it's nearly impossible to be totally unreadable. There's bound to be some giveaway.
BUT...who cares? Ultimately, it's just about looking good (however you choose to define it) or, put a different way, being happy with how you look. I posit that it is entirely possible for a genetic male to wear female attire and other accessories (makeup, jewelry, etc.) and be an "attractive" person. You may never avoid the dreaded, "hey, that's a dude!" But I believe it's entirely possible to be pretty.
Thoughts?
