      oh. well from my perspective the level of passability required to be essentially stealth has gone way up with trans visibility. so while I may have considered myself pretty passing in 2016/2017~, I would have definitely been considered a hon by today’s standards depending on how brainwormed the person is.

      I also think it’s coupled with the fact that the definition of “passoid” to some people here has gone on to mean “unclockable to anybody with shaved head, naked, any angle, presenting masc” and things like that which I think is actually stupid.

      imo passoid just means you can live your life as your target gender and nobody gives you shit for it, people assume you’re cis, etc.

      tldr: passing is harder and tranners are more brainwormed from my perspective

        Yeah i suppose that checks out, but then that would mean i fell to this nonsense myself… since i distinctly remember the people before looking passoid more often… but perhaps thats just me changing memories because of the whole passflation thing in the first place

          yeah it could be that. I think the ratios are about the same as before as far as how well people actually pass? maybe there’s more zero effort boymoders now than before? I wasn’t very active in the 4tranosphere from 2017-2020ish, so maybe there was a golden era of passoids I missed out on?
