A reader writes: "I was looking back on an old post where you stated trans guys all 'pass' after x amount of time on testosterone.

"I have now been on T seven years. I have changed my documentation. I have a baritone voice. I still occasionally get read as female. This seems to occur more when I am in queer-friendly spaces, and if it happens where I can respond, I simply correct people and say, 'It's sir, actually' or something similar.

"I think it's important that trans men realize that sometimes you can do things 'right' (have a deep voice, act masculine, etc.) and your transition might still take a long, long time."
