About Passing
Posted: 18 years ago - Jan 24, 2008Have you ever wondered why many t girls can't pass as genetic females? I am going to comment on two aspects of passing here, and I think I am qualified to comment because I have been educated in two good schools: The School of Hard Knocks and The School of Trial and Error. Here goes (this will not be extremely wordy). Two critical aspects of passing are to get rid of any beard shadow you might have, and to choose the appropriate clothing for the time of day and place you will be going out to. Aside from at the office or at church on Sunday morning, how many genetic females wear dresses at any given time? Maybe two percent, five percent at the most. My advice is don't wear a dress unless you're going to a party or to church! So if you're going out and you want to pass, my advice is to wear what most GGs wear when they go out: denim jeans, denim shorts, a denim skirt, etc. paired with a blouse. I am not saying you should wear them every single time, but most of the time you should. Jeans and a simple women's t shirt (if your arms are not too big) is a good combo to pass. Add some sandals or flip flops if the weather is mild. The second aspect of passing I will comment on here is you absolutely must get rid of any trace of beard shadow you have. You will have to experiment with shaving techniques, foundation, cover stick, etc. to find the right combination. This seems like an obvious point, but many t girls are not very good at doing this. Please work diligently over time until you can make your skin "shadow free" with the right techniques. Try different products and different ways of getting your look together to see what works best. Don't just do something that works halfway decently and then rest on your laurels. Keep experimenting until you achieve perfection or near perfection. Of course, if you have no facial hair at all, that certainly makes it easier. Hope these two bits of advice help. Most t girls overdress and go out with at least some beard shadow evident, and there is no way they can pass, especially in the daytime. I know I am not perfect on these things either--that's why my advice is especially relevant. I've been there too. I used to get laughed at, and now they're not laughing anymore.
Best wishes,
Kim
