Does hair have that much an effect on passing? Everyday at my job I am being ma'amed from the side, or back by young guys, old women, and more. My job requires me to wear a hairnet now, so that could be a reason why, and I grew my hair longer (but not below my shoulders yet).
When face to face though, I don't get that, except once when a guy said, "Sir.. ma'amed".
I personally think hair plays a major role.

Not at all.
Well at least not a "major" role. For me that hasn't been true at all... I was passing with 2 inches of hair. I work in customer service with very high interaction count daily too.
Cis guys with long hair get mam'ed all the time from behind unless they are built like a truck that is OR their posture/demeanor is definitely male.
Major factors( physical predisposition aside):
- Posture
- Demeanor
- Facial expressions
and voice seals the deal.
At work the other day a transwoman came into my shop. The only reason that I knew was because of her facial hair even tho she'd shaved you could still see the hint of shadow :/ her voice was really good and she didn't look especially masculine in other regards either.
Seyranna im not suprised you passed with 2" of hair, you have a total girlface ^-^
