Passing as Male
Mattie said, in a recent comment:
I think also some of my mixed feelings [on passing] are to do with how I dislike the idea of passing politically. It is so loaded with ideas of deceit and dishonesty. I would far rather consider the time I spent appearing to be male as passing – as I was indeed then seeming to be something I was not.
I really like that as a concept, and I’m not sure it’s something I’ve heard expressed before so clearly. I don’t have any further thoughts right now, although I’d like to expand upon this idea at some point in the future. I just wanted to highlight the comment, for those who may have missed it.
