I am a transgender teenager. I'm not out. I can't come out. I cannot pass. My biggest gripe with any resource I try to find is that it assumes I'm on HRT and/or have had surgeries or that I simply *don't want* those things. I never see anything about the specific struggles regarding not being able to pass and I feel alone. I feel like I'm dying. Which is odd because in my head, a majority of trans people don't pass. And it's understandable that one wouldn't want to draw attention to themself in that state but for those who wish to talk about it...here you go.
I am aware that the very concept of passing is problematic as at it's very core it works against transgender people and our liberation. To that I say: the world is not past the point where passing is required. Conformity to your gender is required, especially to that of which one was assigned.
Preface Out Of The Way: Welcome To Our Non-Passing Experience! This blog is open to people trans, cis, nonbinary, or otherwise who wish to share their experiences of not passing in some way, shape, or form in a positive, negative, or neutral light. While I find not passing to be a torturous prison, others revel in their non-conformity and I, and I'm sure others, would love to hear just that! Thank you for your time and contributions.
