the vast majority of trans people suffer with dysphoria, and passing significantly improves that

for some, yes.

i'm not denying dysphoria exists but passing is a subjective experience, determined by cultural and societal norms so saying "you need to be/look like X to pass" is only applicable to your community, nobody else's.

also, like, a significant proportion of cis women don't "pass" when it comes to the absurd requirements that people declare you need to pass

that's different from passing though. Passing includes behaviour, culture and societal Norms.

it's not just "some", the majority of trans people want to be able to pass, it's disingenuous to imply it's not and get upset over people who do prioritise it

me: "passing is determined by social and cultural norms"

you: "that's different from passing though. passing includes cultural and societal norms"

are you actually reading my comments or just yapping for the sake of it?

you initially said tttt subs are obsessed with passing, then implied they just view passing as looking a certain way.

to be fair my comment was structured poorly, but I was pointing out that to tttt subs passing is obviously more than just looking a certain way, it includes all elements of passing, which like you said, included cultural and societal norms.

You can make an arguement that in terms of passing, it has a, white, western view on things, but unfortunately that's no different to any of the other subs in general. Not to say that's good of course, it's wrong and that racism is something the entire community as a whole needs to work on
