Passing...

[Harley Quinn]

It's somewhere between absolutely important and fairly important; not life and death... that's way out there...

I wish I could say it's not important, but...  Well, it's a survival trait.  Given the current popularity of Trans-bashing, and the self-appointed Guardians of the Restroom (Yes, even in San Francisco.  After the TransMarch ended, there were a couple of these jerks 'stationed' outside the women's restroom at a mall near the end of the March!), being able to move around in public without being readily clocked is a safety issue.

I hope things change.  I really do.  Meanwhile, I have to be really careful and aware of my surroundings.  Fortunately old men and old women share a good bit in their facial characteristics.  :/

Rat's ass not given about passing. Passing, probably not (6' +, big build, sound like Lemmy). Accepted 99% of time matters more to me.

The less of a crap I give about passing, the happier I am..

That said, in 6 years, I've had bathroom issues twice - and both backfired on the person who made the noise. That said, I have no idea if I pass.. And frankly, don't care. I'm accepted as who I am.
