I know this is sort of missing the point of this poll, but what about hot or not (as opposed to pass or not) exclusively for people on the trans spectrum. Hot does not equal passing. There are some very hot androgynous people as well as hot folks who would like to pass but don't.

Ya I was just using hot or not as a basis of understanding. It would more be pass or not and have nothing to do with someone being sexually attractive or otherwise. Or maybe be able to customize the scale ie. Feminine masciline or whatever your wondering?

Seems degrading to me, so no I wouldn't use it. People who are dying to pass putting up a hopeful picture only to have a bunch of cisgender ->-bleeped-<-s come along and say no (because we all know it would happen regardless of supposed exclusivity and regardless of level of passing or not). And even if we managed to keep it exclusive, I'm not sure a site dedicated to judging people on their appearance would go well for a demographic of people with a 41% suicide rate when a huge portion of us put so much into our appearances.
