To some extent, I can never have a cis male body. And I definitely can't have a history of always having had a cis male body. But passing allows me not to have to think about that, and to get on with my life. And for me that's just... it.

All the recognition of my gender in the world wouldn't help without a cis-passing male body. And, for me, the question of whether I'm "really" a man is very secondary to me. If people are seeing a man when they see me, that's the thing that feels real to me.

I don't think this makes me more trans or realer trans than anybody, btw. I mean, I just admitted to not really seeing myself as a man pre-transition. I just admitted to not really having that strong a sense of my own gender. Obviously I'm not the transest trans.

If a "transest trans" is even a thing,-which it's not- I'm not it. But my experience of being trans isn't about pronouns, or inner identity. It's about how my body looks and how I appear in the world. And if everyone's experience is valid, I expect that to be valid, too.
