On any passing thread on this board, I've seen people call out tons of minuscule things that I don't think most people would notice. Is this because people genuinely don't pass, or is it because trans people know exactly what to look for?
This board shouldn't count, as there are only pictures of people and vocaroo, and people won't send clips or pics of themselves if they aren't flattering enough.
cis people dont generally have trans on the brain in the same way as trans people do so they are usually caught off guard so to say

>mfw trans acceptance and increased media coverage will ruin this
why
Of course trans people are better at clocking out of experience. I've met fairly obvious trans people with cis friends who are all like "would you believe she's trans?!"
For normal people, trans is a kind of foreign concept they have no closehand experience of, so they won't immediately assume feminine boys or masculine girls are trans unless it's super obvious.
Use this to your advantage.
With the amount of clueless cis males on this board who mistake short-haired women for boys, I wouldn't say so.
>go to trans seminary at local hospital because my doctor recommended me (it was just a bunch of shit that doesn't apply to me)
>clock everyone in crowd
>super impressed by how well some of these people pass
>get really anxious and jealous
>leave halfway through from bad feels
>find out later a lot of mainstream journalists and med students were attending and i had been clocking cis people

No, and when cis people try they only end up "clocking" other cis people

My girlfriend is cis and she can never tell when other people are trans. She also can't tell me when I look passable or not so that is rough.
