Passing, in the context of gender transition, refers to the ability of a transgender person to be perceived as their identified gender by others. This can involve changes in appearance, behavior, and social interactions that align with their gender identity. Successful passing can significantly impact a person's mental health and social acceptance. Transitioning may include various steps such as hormone therapy, surgeries, or changes in clothing and name. Each individual's journey is unique, and not all transgender people choose to pursue medical interventions. The goal of passing is often to reduce gender dysphoria and enhance personal comfort in one's identity.
