THAT'S STEALTH

Passing means people see you as a woman even if you are recognizably trans. Karla Sofia Gascon for example, passes, nobody is calling her a he (bar some retarded chuds who are probably reppers), picrel is very much a she.

But SHE is very obviously trans. Most people, even normies, will be able to see that.

She passes, but she is not stealth.
But she also doesn't need to be. She can go into a women's public bathroom in most places in Mexico and be in no more danger than any other woman (as I understand it Mexico isn't exactly safe for anyone these days).

If she were to achieve stealth, she wouldn't feel any better about herself than she does right now. Because body dysnorphic disorder comes with the territory when you're trans. To deal with the face that your body doesn't look like an anime girl you need THERAPY. No amount of lookmaxxing will solve BDD, in fact the paradox of transition is the closer you get to ideal, the more your flaws depress you.

And this is just reality of being trans. That's why the three pillars of gender affirming care are:
1. A good doctor who knows what they're doing and can organize everything you need for medically assisted transition
2. A good therapist who knows what they're doing and can help you unpack your chaotic, complex, and rapidly shifting emotions.
3. A peer support group who can resocialize you as the gender you're most comfortable with, can guide you to the professional services you need, and support you when you hit a roadblock in your transition.

The fact that transphobes exist who will hurt you if you aren't stealth is a human rights problem, not a you problem.
