Passing

Trans terminology

What the term means

A context-dependent term for being perceived by others as a particular gender; it is not a measure of worth or authenticity.

In detail

This entry describes gender identity, expression or sexual orientation, depending on the specific term. These are distinct dimensions of a person’s life: identity cannot be inferred reliably from clothes, appearance or preferred BDSM role. Respectful language follows the person’s own self-description.
