Tulip:
Passing can mean many things from:
Do I look ok ..... does my outfit match and is my makeup ok
OR
When I am "READ" will people at least say I look nice.
OR
Can I walk into a room and be taken for female without question
I have been whistled at, laughed at and called “mam” all in the same day.
I prefer the “Do I look ok” version of passing because I know that some people don’t look to close and all they will see is a nice pair of legs while others examine everyone they see under a microscope and are very willing to point out the man in a dress.
If my goal was to be taken as a woman by J.Q. public then I had better get used to being disappointed with my results most of the time, so I try to look nice, relax and have a good time. If others like what they see cool and if not well I am not dressing to please others and I should not others decide how I present myself..
