my experience on passing, getting clocked and fake compliments

[Jenna Marie]

Karen : I'm sure you're right that trans people are more sensitive than cis people, but there's still no way to know without knowing the overall numbers of people, both recognized and not...

That was in the Holyoke Mall Target. I actually found out about her from the local news (which was not kind to her viewpoint), not the trans community. I don't think I can easily format a link according to Susan's news policy, but I found a MassLive.com article about her by searching for "woman target bathroom holyoke." I don't think she's actually from MA; I believe she's from some Southern state and apparently willing to travel *really* far to be a jerk. (To clarify, it was totally coincidence that I was there when she was - I sure as heck wouldn't go looking for that situation.)

That was in the Holyoke Mall Target.

That is why I did not hear about it... I'm in a different part of the state.

Passing I've found is a very unpredictable thing for me. I had female Nurse partitioner do  PAP test on me and not realize I am a post-op, and I've had people (though very seldom) on the street make rude comments about me being TS.

These days I just take it all in stride. While I don't talk about my past, I'm not stealth and nothing in  my life really depends on people not knowing, so in that sense it does not matter if I get read.

Not what I was hoping for when I started down this road a couple of decades ago, but overall I'm in a better place than "before".

So you possibly clocked someone and didn't say anything and this brought you to the conclusion no one passes. That's a pretty broad stroke your brushing with.
