Passing - Is it a Privilege? - Page 6

This is quite an involved thread so I'll have to read it properly later. A couple of comments struck me, about outing a trans person.

My husband no longer considers himself trans, so the idea of 'passing' is irrelevant, he is male. Unfortunately other people, including people in the workplace and close friends, have no issue with 'outing' him. It's almost as if, because he doesn't 'look' trans, some people feel the need to 'warn' others that he is not really a man, that he is trans. I hate the gossipy nature of it and the total disrespect for his identity.
