like there are plenty of trans ppl who can’t & won’t ever ~pass~… you look like a dickhead complimenting someone on being able to move thru the world in a certain way when there’s so many ppl who can’t bc of circumstances outside of their control.
i love what s. bear bergman has to say about the word “passing” — that it puts the onus on trans people to make their presentation more legible to cis people.
“rather than talking about who passes, let us talk about who reads.”
