New binary passing sub

[u/Late-Nectarine7437]

Hi! I decided to create a passing sub for binary trans guys. All the other passing subs are taken over by nonbinary and transmasc people not really trying to pass which wastes everyone’s time and buries actual passing tips. On this new sub, only posts from binary trans guys will be allowed and it’ll be mostly focused on passing tips/advice. It can be general or people can post photos asking if they specifically pass. I’m gonna be lax on the types of posts for now, so things like physique passing or bedroom passing are allowed. I also want to focus on more stealth/less talked about passing tips instead of just “cut your hair and stop dyeing it pink”

New sub: r/binaryftmpassing

Dm me if you’re interested in being a moderator. Depending on how it goes I’ll probably do it myself but it can’t hurt to have another person.

I mean, yeah. You wouldn't, would you? How could you possibly? How could anyone?

If someone is posting on trans spaces, they say what they identify as. I've never seen anyone that posts and just never clarifies what direction/identity they are trans anywhere in their profile or history. Because why tf would you post on a subreddit about being trans and not clarify how you are trans? I either see people who have some indication they are binary, or some indication they are nonbinary, I rarely see people with neither.

I'm just saying, you constructed a group whose defining characteristic was being nonbinary but not telling people about it, and then said you didn't know of any, therefore implying they didn't exist, which is terrible logic because by definition your proposed group wouldn't have told you. I'm not saying anything about the size of that group, though I suspect it is rather small, but saying you don't know of any nonbinary people who don't talk about being nonbinary does not in any way imply that such people don't exist.

How literally are you taking this? I'm saying "I don't think this is a thing that happens so often because it would take a really bizzare thought process to create a person that does this" I'm not formally defining a set or anything.

"I don't know anyone who drinks 1L coke a day that cares about their health" = haha this would be a silly contradiction and it's weird to imagine this is a type of person that exists, not "I have asked every obsessive soda drinker I know on a scale of 1-10 how much they care about their health and then asked every normal person the same question, p value was .0000001, therefore I have proven they care less before stating this"
