Yeah I hate having to stand out and passing means that I’ll definitely stand out cause I’m in college. But at the same time I’m foaming at the mouth for the ability to be able to stand out and it’s lowkey stressing me out :3

Yes I felt like that for a while. I still worry about it honestly but after a while I realized that 1. Those thoughts aren’t based off of anything other than dysphoria which isn’t usually the most objective source of information. 2. Even if you don’t end up passing why wouldn’t you at least try? I’m still closeted but I’ve been on E for months and it’s been great so far. I don’t know how long it will take to pass and I still worry about it being impossible for me but doing something about it is

Used to worry a lot. But 3 years in, I don’t care if I’m clockable. I’m proud of my transness, I would advertise it even if I was passing. I dress loud and fem. It makes me look and feel good. Despite not looking cis, my gender identity is so strongly communicated that I read as a woman. I get a fair amount of compliments, and essentially never get misgendered.

Always gonna be better than just like sitting there feeling crappy yk? So just start your transition anyways even if those thoughts stay because if they’re gonna be there either way you might as well be giving yourself the chance to prove them wrong.

It’s not worth waiting to pass. It’s not worth hiding and accepting routine misgendering. Communicate your identity clearly through your dress, hair, accessories - vast majority of people will recognize what you’re doing and gender you correctly.
