100% I started not passing then lost a ton of weight and found out I have alot of traditionally feminine interests. I went from being spat at in the street and almost attacked with no help, to people going out of their way to protect me from creepy men following me.

From my experience passing, how attractive you are, and your interests/hobbies are all attached to how well you a treated in the world right now.

Trans people call it passing privilege for a reason.
