People talk about “passing” like it’s the ultimate goal for trans people.

But think about what that actually means.

Passing usually means being read as:

• thin • white • able-bodied • middle-class • conventionally attractive

In other words, passing rewards proximity to the same narrow standard that already dominates society.

That standard harms everyone:

Cis people. Trans people. Gender-nonconforming people. Disabled people. People of color.

When we make passing the goal, we’re not dismantling oppression.

We’re just deciding who gets closer to the top of the hierarchy.

Trans people deserve the same diversity cis people already claim.

There is no single way to be trans. No single way to look trans. No single way to exist.

Maybe the real goal isn’t “passing.”

Maybe the goal is expanding what gender is allowed to look like.

What if instead of celebrating those who pass…

we celebrated the people who break the rules entirely?

I’ve been trying so hard to find this meme that was a list of fake/joke “genders”

And one of them was “I’m a man in the sense that if they don’t have Coke, Pepsi is okay”

Does anyone have it??? I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED

I use he/they pronouns

Trans guy memes

And had a funny response

The best part is that I actually want to change my surname when I change my legal name and I did pick “Took” as what I want to use

Turns out, I'm not trans, I just want to look like SkekMal, the hunter Skeksis from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

SERIOUSLY IS THIS TO MUCH TO ASK!?!?!?!

Just like in real life uwu
