Hunter Schafer is supposed to be like the gold standard for passing, right? That dude looks like a dude.

Jimmy Fallon's chill attitude betrayed him. It takes a tremendous amount of mental pre-planning to not, you know...call someone what they are. His natural empathy kicked in and he recognized this dude as his bud.

That's what I don't get. Even the "best" looking most "passable" trans-identified males, look like males. I remember being shocked when a bunch of women said they didn't know Nikki tutorials was trans. What?? I knew by the thumbnails that Nikki Tutorials was a dude identifying as a "woman", who was giving makeup advice. I never watched a single video, but knew on the thumbnails alone.

Blaire White NEVER passed to me & certainly doesn't nowadays. I remember getting effeminate gay male vibes from him, when seeing one of his videos popup. Bailey Jay could be argued the "best" "passable" one, but I remember seeing an unfiltered photo & video. Both screamed male, especially the video.

This Hunter Schaefer doesn't pass to me all that well either. Before I knew who he was, I saw an interview with him & felt that something was "off". I googled the name & sure enough I got the picture. Trans-identified males age just like males as well. They have to continuously have surgical procedures to try & maintain their "passability". It rarely if ever works. Biology, DNA, genes, etc. are hard to get away from & quite simply can't.

It's really true. Every single time I have ever seen a troon my mind has flagged them as off. I remember being fucking weirded out for SO long by Christine McConnell for this very reason, until I saw a KF thread exposing him as a HSTS.

It's just there always on a subconscious level. Maybe women can't pick up on it because they're not supposed to, or maybe they're just socialized to be nice and lie. But it's always only a superficial manipulation. Probably part of why so much trans stuff is online-only and obsessed with still images. It's easy to convince someone that way, when you can control the image. But it just totally falls apart IRL like the rest of the ideology.

It really is wild when you think about it. You'd think there'd be at least one out there. ONE, that passed completely, that all the others were aspiring to. But they all just sort of narcissistically tell themselves they'll be that one, someday, despite all proof to the contrary.

There's pictures somewhere of Hunter doing a modelling gig on a runway half naked. He's clearly a dude with very fake breast implants.

When people compliment him it reminds of the way they compliment old actresses. "They look great...for their age."

Like, he looks great...as great as a surgical balloon animal version of a woman could, anyway.

I think it's a social 'be kind' thing. Women show up as better at determining the sex of a person from a range of traits, even just gait seen through points of light. Men and women are both very, very good at determining anyone's sex (no-one passes in real life) but women have the edge on it.
