tme enbies, especially those who aren't medically transistioning genuinely have some of the worst takes on passing guides full stop. "why do they all encourage stereotypical gender presentation, don't you know you can pass will still bring gnc'
A) the point of a passing guide is not to encourage and condone stereotypical gender presentation but is a guide on how to achieve it because the goal of many trans people is to be perceived as their gender by cis society and reduce the violence they face for being trans by being perceived as as cis due to passing
B) Due to how scrutinised transgender people's gender presentation is, it is not until a lot of us have been on hormones for years, and also received several surgeries and voice training that we receive the privilege of being able to explore other gender presentations while still being perceived as our gender/passing. Doing so before hand will get us clocked as trans, take it up with patriarchy and the threat of transphobic violence rather than trans people trying to navigate this
C) trans people are inherently gnc, there is literally nothing more gnc than choosing a gender other than your assigned one because the entirety of patriarchy is built around the idea of 'you are your assigned gender, you are not and cannot be anything other than it'. Stop trying to insist that trans people trying to navigate and survive this world is reinforcing the patriarchy.
I need to emphasise I've encountered this exact stance so many times, please, other non binary people who aren't interested in passing you need to sit down and listen to the people who make and adhere to these guides, I assure you they are not doing this because they think women should be housewives and men should be soldiers.
