"You're complimenting a person on their ability to not look like what they are. You're telling them they look like a cis person, and that's better than looking trans.
Of course, plenty of trans people want to blend in, to not look trans, for a variety of reasons – usually safety. But rarely because they believe that appearing trans is inherently a bad thing. It's not"
Hate this. They certainly don't speak for me. I love it when a cis person tells me that they couldn't tell.
And my interest in passing has nothing to do with safety. It has everything to do with being accepted by others and by myself.
I wish they didn't use first person plural, as if they were speaking for all of us.
