Interesting thoughts on "passing". In my thinking, it's a wider problem with society's need to normalise everything and everything, not just an issue between the observer and observee. The way I see it, it's ingrained into the culture about what is and is not appropriate attire. The only way to change it is to see more transgender people "passable" or "non-passable" out in the community (Let's have a chat about this the next time).
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! There are many issues that need dealing with! You'll notice with this (and other pieces) I have angled at trans-empowerment issues, because I enjoy (and think I can help people best) by building them up!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to further discussions with you later! :)
