    edit: this was bitchy and grumbly. But it's fair to want to compare yourself to your peers and siblings, and this notion that you should only compare yourself to the most masculine-looking women out there, the few who get misgendered, rubs me wrong.

      The point is more that passing is stupid and arbitrary and being brainwormed about it certainly doesn't help. Calling people "delusional" for saying that cis women do not always look like women, is itself out of touch with reality. Plus, comparing yourself to others, specifically cis women is usually a road to brainwormed shit.

      Nobody is saying "only compare yourself to the most masc women", ffs.

      [...] the point is that the finish line is bullshit. A trans woman would have to put a tone more work, maybe even expensive surgeries to "pass", but if they do pass, they do it in the exact same way as a cis woman. A cis woman who also has to do a tonne of work to achieve this same standard, because it's unrealistic and harmful to everyone.
