	"In the transgender community, there is a concept of [[passing]]. Within a [[binary gender]] system, being able to pass as a different gender may seem healthy and good. The truth is that passing is propagating the myth of a binary gender system. It is a lie and is unhealthy. When we can see gender as a spectrum, then we can be the gender we are and celebrate in our diversity. It takes the value system out of gender and helps us move away from rigid gender stereotypes. [...] I feel that the concept of passing is destructive, both for those who cannot pass and for those who can pass. It establishes and reinforces gender roles and stereotypes. It sets a judgmental standard that is arbitrary and ill defined. A healthy approach is to recognize the full spectrum of gender, which is already present in the GLBT community. We see [[butch]] women and effeminate men. Perhaps it is time to reset the standards to fit what nature has created—a full spectrum of gender."<ref name="Brookover" />		"In the transgender community, there is a concept of [[passing]].
