To pass or not to pass Greetings Gentle Readers, On occasion one or another person has commented that I'm attractive in response to my mentioning in my profile that I do not pass. I wish to clarify a few things, the primary being that being attractive and not passing are not mutually exclusive. There are a number of less than attractive crossdressers who manage to pass, just as there are those who are attractive who do not. Passing is about being able to "pass" for a woman in public. Being attractive is a somewhat arbitrary set of subjective standards for being visually pleasing. Actually, being attractive can work against one in trying to pass, as it promotes additional scrutiny. So as I say in my profile, I do not pass (I'm not going to comment on my attractiveness one way or the other; you can decide that for yourself). You want to know why I don't think I pass? It's simple, it's something of a cascading process. First, we can start with I'm 6'2", yes there are tall women out there, however, women that tall are relatively rare. That starts the process of "outing" me, because it attracts and invites additional attention. That additional attention then allows someone to notice the little outpoints in my appearance that together belie the illusion: facial structure, adams apple, errors in makeup, etc. Put together I just don't pass. Add to that my untrained voice and bang, me = guy/male. I do wish I could pass, but for the time being, I have to accept that I don't. So, am I attractive? I can't answer that one honestly, I'm biased. Do I pass? Definitely not. Toodles Bri |
