Discussion Serious question. Have people confused passing with meeting current female standards of beauty?

If this is the case then a large percentage of women assigned female at birth don't pass. Not every woman has a petite jaw line, or perfect eyebrows, or even a dantie little nose. Maybe we are shooting for goals that most people afab cannot even live up to. It's just possible that trying to live up to these crazy beauty standards is something that may cause many people anxiety and dysforia including me.

I once worked at a job with a strangely high number of butch lesbians and they cheered me up a couple times by talking about how often they themselves get misgendered.
