How important is passable/female identity?

good luck at your pathetic job today and enjoy being the man that you are.

You're not doing yourself any favors by dragging out this temper tantrum of yours.

Don't forget to use the men's room at work, dude.

Any TS who does not think passing is at the top of the priority list must be butt-ugly and have no hopes of passing so they justify their failure to appear female by lessening the importance of the look.

I can say this with confidence because I knew what it was like to get clocked and I know what it's like to pass.

And by the way, passing means everything, not just looks but walk, talk, demeanor the whole shebang.

Don't forget the $10 on the dresser.

No one said passing isn't important, but when the fear of getting clocked consumes you, it's time to step back and look at the big picture. FFS isn't miracle work - while most get amazing results, no one's going to look 100% feminine, and we shouldn't expect that.

What's wrong with thinking positively, whether or not you pass?

And if TS don't have the right to judge passability, why are you criticizing those that may not completely pass but still find comfort with their looks regardless?

Get over yourself; this arrogance is a rather masculine trait for you.

Working at fast food is more respectable than what you do.

I'd like to go on record stating I hate the word "Passing". Is the opposite then, "Failing"? Is a Trans*woman who can't afford thousands of dollars in surgeries a failure? I don't think so. It also implies a level of deception, since the term is taken from light-skinned African-Americans who could "pass" as white.

All that said, I worked very hard to afford the feminization surgeries that modified my skull and neck. "Passing" is at the very least an issue of personal safety for many. Unfortunately, "passing" becomes equated with "pretty" and used to justify insulting some gals.

Hey smothering ma-nin-a-dress whats lacking respect is your high talk and complete anonymity. You accuse me of a lowly profession when I'm doing more to make the world respect TS than you could ever do with your cartoon profile and empty words.

One day you'll beg me to fuck you and you'll pay handsomely for the privilege.
