Question for non passing mtfs and ftms. How does it feel going out in public and not passing? Not transgender, but I hate what you all have to go through and wish people would be more understanding, considerate, and polite.

There's a reason I'm not transitioning.

Everything is worth a try

How many lottery tickets have you bought this week?
>>8536829
I have gotten used to some stares and some misgendering, but mostly people are nice
>>8536847
I always buy a few
It kinda feel like your sense of self is crumbling, like you thought you looked good and you put countless cumulative hours of time into passing and thought today would be your day. And then people make u realize youve deluded yourself into thinking u resemble anything like a girl. And makes you remember how desperately you wish u were cis and question why youre alive anyway when u cant even succeed as ur gender.
I pass almost all the time /now/, but i have a friend who, whenever we hang out, kids point at her and laugh or say rude things/call her out as trans. Ive never had it that bad so I cant imagine what it's like

Won yet?
That's why hrt boymode exists. Sure, it's soulcrushing, but at least I'm not universally hated.

Ive won a few hundred on scratchers and slots. Nothing too big though

less than a year on HRT so I don't try to present female, but it's quite obvious I'm transitioning (that's a good thing I suppose)
I feel pretty insecure when I'm in public. Seeing a pretty girl makes it worse. Usually I'm too preoccupied with my own business to care though. My mannerisms are so graceful in private but in public my insecurity makes them awkward. That's my least favorite part.
Occasionally I'll get a comment, never anything malintentioned yet but often inappropriate.
I've learned to accept that people will be rude about anything however and it's because their life sucks. I find a lot of comfort in that, strangely.
Is passing being stealth or is it just greater than 50% think you are the gender you present at a superficial glance or interaction

Not talking about stealth. This ain't damn Skyrim

Need at least a 60% to pass, 50% is still an F
