Title: Beauty V/S Passing
Post by: Sad Girl on January 03, 2012, 04:10:41 PM
If you had to choose between being a BOMBSHELL and VERY BEAUTIFUL but not passing or to PASS SUCCESSFULLY and look 100% as a bio female BUT ordinary-looking and not so pretty, which one would you choose?


What's more important to you? Beauty or Passing?

call me crazy but if a girl was a bombshell and absolutely beautiful then I would assume she passes??? Unless her voice was not trained.

unless you are referring to a beautiful and bombshell in terms of a masculine person??

There have been a lot of threads like this. My questions is why do we always have to choose between one, I want both!  >:-)

Kia Ora,

::) To blend in successfully [beautiful or not] one must have the whole package looks, voice[as Annah mentioned] 'mannerisms' etc...I've seem attractive looking trans-women who might pass on looks, but don't pass when they move about, sit, walk, talk etc...

::) 'Passing' for some it would seem is only 'skin' deep ![shallow]

Metta Zenda :)

of corse you can be pretty without passing, I just bet its harder for people to admit it then.

I want both.
I only have one.
I.. don't pass at all in person.

I get told I'm pretty all the time, though.
At least I'm getting somewhere.

With a question like this a lot of it is placed on the individual persons standards of what they associate with being beautiful. For instance; I find my self finding model-esque level of attractiveness not very attractive, where as what someone else my consider plain I'd consider attractive.

I'd rather be ordinary. I want to be taken seriously when I present as my gender.

I'd rather be average looking and totally passable, like I am now. But I will make myself look like a bombshell thru surgery :laugh:
