Re: PASSABLE AINT A COMPLIMENT
For me being told I am passable is a compliment too. In my opinion it means that all my efforts to pass as a woman and not being clocked has finaly paid off. Why would that not be a compliment?
Of course I understand being passable and being pretty are two different things, of course if you get both, you kick ass! LOL

Re: PASSABLE AINT A COMPLIMENT
Passable is a word transwomen and transmen use as to affirm that they are indeed, passing as their true gender (a t-girl wants to pass as a woman, a t-guy wants to pass as a man), usually by societal standards. It's also a word used by guys who are looking for a t-girl who looks like a genetic female, but is also beautiful by societal and their individual standards.
My wife is an excellent example of a t-girl who is both passable, and beautiful.
Passable is a compliment for t-girls amongst themselves when establishing how well they are progressing in their transition, (ie. "You are totally passable! I wouldn't have known you were trans* if you hadn't told me.") but not all women are beautiful, so just being recognized as looking like a woman and not a man is not saying much as far as facial beauty.

Re: PASSABLE AINT A COMPLIMENT
I think most girls know when they are passable like nicole mentioned, unless of course they are completely delusional. My point was that girls who are secure in their femininity don't need approval.
their mirrors and life experiences say it all!!!
Everyones idea of beauty and "passability" varies!

Re: PASSABLE AINT A COMPLIMENT
I get it, and being passable is definitely important/wonderful... I'am just saying that the girl the op was referring to, may have not seen it that way or even found the comment condescending.
I think we both know that some of the guys who come on here will tell you or I the same thing then turn around and tell it to a monster in a wig the same "compliment".
thats the point I was trying to make.
