There is a lot of emphasis in our need to pass as women both physically and emotionally. Emotions, I think most can do it. Physical acceptance is the hardest for us. When we picture ourselves as women we think we should project beauty as the number one attribute.
In the last week I have looked many women in the eye and studied their face. 50% of them I could say are they transgender? The average success I think we should hope on is looking like 50% of cis-women with a lower percentage on each side of that success.
Smiles, Jessica Marie

I know this is a sensitive subject for many.
My own personal view is that I would LIKE to pass but don't NEED to pass.
This is the difference that lets me just live my life and be happy when I walk out my front door every day.
The other big related thing is confidence. I've seen it said here many times that really owning your gender makes alot of difference. I keep my chin up, smile at people, chat with them and they smile and chat back [emoji5]

I agree with you Megan, it is a matter of owning who you are and just living life without that extra thought baggage!

Owning it. :)
When you walk your dog are you enjoying the fresh air and sunshine or are you obsessing over what someone you may or may not run into is going to think about you. And what does it matter what they think of you? They aren't worrying about how you perceive them. Live your life in the world, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Own it.
Hugs, Devlyn
