{{quote|"[[Passing]]" refers to trans people being perceived as non-trans members of the gender with which they identify. While this is a goal for most trans people, I think its important to stay aware of the systemic power imbalance that is implicit in this term. I prefer the term "being passed", because it emphasizes the fact that trans people do not have total control over how we are perceived, and that the power in the equation of passing lies completely with the non-trans person who "passes" us. It is something done to us, not something we are able to control.<ref name="Etiquette">{{Cite web |title=Trans Etiquette/Respect/Support 101 |last=Bazant |first=Micah |work=transfaithonline.org |date=2002-2011 |access-date=19 May 2020 |url= http://www.transfaithonline.org/fileadmin/TFteaching/Bazant_TransRespect101.pdf}}</ref>}} | {{quote|"[[Passing]]" refers to trans people being perceived as non-trans members of the gender with which they identify.
