He doesn't - or shouldn't. But when he puts stereotypical feminine accoutrements on he's signalling to people that he wants them to call him "she". I get that. It does get very tangled because we don't have to. But I suspect it's the same reason that TIFs like beards or working out to look hyper masculine. So people judge the exterior as trying to fit into that binary.

I get that generally, but his comment about passing suggests he believes he can use cosmetics to get others to believe he is a woman, not just pretend he is a woman.
