this should be a cold take, im just posting it here just cause. literally nothing matters besides how you are gendered irl/what people you know irl say about you.
photos will always be inaccurate do to changes in lighting, angle, how lens distortion and mirror reflections change things. people online can give you a general idea of your potential, but a photo will always just be a flat, unmoving snap shot of a 3d person in movement.
determining if you pass or not based on what random troons say to you is beyond retarded. and as much as i doom about never malefailing, obviously boy/manmoding isnt going to help you get gendered female. not to mention that if you are gendered after speaking and you dont voicepass, obviously youre not gonna be gendered right.
strangers arent hugboxxing you. most people do not think or care enough about these things to do that
I present vaguely female enough to be gendered female is what I’m saying… not because I look female, but because of signs of obv trans ness and they’re being polite…?
Like even if I clock someone, I’ll still gender them female if they’re girlmoding
idk, maybe its because of my own experience of where i live but i do not believe the majority of the population really understands how to clock most things. all the cis people i personally know irl do not talk about trans stuff ever. i just find it hard to believe it would go through someones head to bother doing that who isnt also trans.
Yeah, but a lot of my friends are trans, and I’m scared they clock me sometimes
