God it’s so fucking disturbing to read trans man “passing” tips that include things like “men tend to take up more space when sitting and are less self conscious of those around them”
Yes
that’s how to pass
I’ll become the guy on the bus or in the post office line that I hate and want to punch in the neck with a taser
Chapter Two: You too can come off as an insufferable cis douche: how to talk over women AND talk down to them at the SAME TIME! High five, T-bro!“passing tips” are always depressing.
i think there’s a line between owning your own personal space and not being considerate of other people’s. a lot of men just have zero awareness of that line.
yeah, fuck “passing tips”. i remember reading a few lists of them back when i first came out as a teenager and just being really annoyed with - and confused by! - the idea that i was supposed to try to become or act like a different person. i think my absolute favourite - though in fairness i don’t remember if it was technically meant to be a “passing tip” or if it was just a general “how to pee in public as a trans dude” thing - was about using the men’s toilets and i’m paraphrasing here but it was something like “you might think you shouldn’t, but wash your hands! you may have heard that guys are gross, but they do actually wash their hands, especially after using a stall. you figure out why”. because i really needed to be told to wash my hands after peeing? w a t.
