maybe that’s passoid and gigapassoid but i feel like usually people associate passoid with looking cis too.

    its indeed passoid and gigapassoid.

    Passoids are very attractive for trans girls and look female but are still underlying a bit dymorphic, gigapassoids are essentially cis girls

      yea i just think it’s not super clear and depending on the person they’ll use passoid as essentially cis too. not to mention the fact that passoid usually implies prettiness too

        I think passoid vs gigapassoid is about bone structure. Like for a girl, a gigapassoid has to be a passoid who is also very petite. A standard passoid is like still more male typical male height and probably just all around larger bone and frame wise than a cis girl despite undeniably passing as female.

        So like, say a girl face, voice, and shr/breast passes 5’9 or above with 17-19in bideltoid or a slightly bigger head (not unlike a number of the famous youngshits) and is just all around more normal size for a trans girl like that, she’d be a passoid. Whereas a girl with like 14 inch shoulders at 5’4 who passes in the same ways is a gigapassoid.

          yep totally agree that’s what it should be but people here don’t use it like that

          so in a sense, a passoid would be kind of like a very unlockable twinkhon to the point you can’t call her a hon subtype at all anymore

              yeh. I still dunno where I put myself, probably still semi passoid and probably like prettier end of twinkhon once I get skinny.

    i dont think so. all the terms are meaningless. how you are gendered irl by strangers is all that matters. if you pass to strangers, you pass. and the line between passoid and gigapassoid is often just lookism anyway

      i think you can pass but still have bad features that make you stand out/look weird. people might not think you’re trans at first but if they were told that you’re trans they wouldn’t be surprised

      i agree the line between passoid and gigapassoid is a lot of lookism too which is why i think the terms aren’t super clear and need better delineation

      you can pass but people might think u look odd. like for example a lot of doods pass but they look really young so the don’t rly look like a normal cis person.

        Exactly. Passoids pass as like a strangely big or small version of their target gender. Gigapassoids are like cis-boned

    im reading your comments and… i think im getting the gist of it… so like different from uglypassing, different from semipassing? something like the untranny valley? you should invent a new word for it. demipassoid. pseudopassoid. schroedinger’s passoid. catch-22 passoid. freakassoid. intrapassing. otherpassing. alienpass.

          or like don’t look like the avg cis person at least. i said in another comment but think of like doods that pass but they look rly young.

          i think there’s a lot of trannys that pass but look a little uncanny to where if u said they were trans i wouldn’t be surprised but i wouldn’t have clocked them otherwise.

              yea i think it varies which is why i think there needs to be a distinction between passing and looking cis
