Skepticism is required.<br /><br />Also, some trans women significantly over-estimate how well they pass (see also Betty Cowell). Sometimes one may think that she passes, but those who know are too polite to say otherwise.Zagriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124379637664963835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-65620685579217249352024-01-18T13:58:12.231-05:002024-01-18T13:58:12.231-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470072195316296163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-2371393562838708742011-12-27T15:22:05.377-05:002011-12-27T15:22:05.377-05:00Oops.
