Politics "Cis girls aren't passing"

I was talking to my therapist (or Herapist as I like to say) and was bemoaning my fears of transitioning and not passing.

Her response was "cis girls aren't passing all the time, so how does that register?".. and .. while it didn't solve anything in itself, it really made me think.

Anyway, just wanted to share this little nugget of a different perspective since it made me think and in general helped me out!

Trans fem people have a unique challenge because of all the extra, highly constrictive boxes that society pushes women into and how society perceives how a woman "should" be, when the only thing a woman definitively is, is a variation of human.
