This is kind of like saying, “You’d never be able to tell you were a girl”, as though I’m successfully fooling the world. It also implies that if you could tell I was trans, that would be bad, whereas actually I felt just as male before my physical transition as I do now. We shouldn’t validate people on how well they pass as their true gender; it’s how they identify that counts.
