The ability to “pass” in the eyes of the public at large, and the ability to “pass” under the eyes of our own soul (and God) are two very different things. I think you captured that well when you said: “…it’s about me being comfortable with my own existence.” (and I think God wants that)

Being bi-gender, I’ve struggled with trying to pass on each end of the spectrum. Emotionally as a male and physically as a female. I can do both … but it does take effort. Recently, I’ve been presenting myself as “blended.” I dress nicely and with some make-up, but I don’t make a special effort to publicly pass as a female.

Interesting thing: Most people don’t treat me any differently.

I find confidence, kindness, and a smile tend to put most people at ease. In fact, today at a store, one person said, “Excuse me, ma’am,” as he made his way past me.

So perhaps “passing” really is much more matter of the light shining from our inner heart than those that shine on our outer appearance.

Before signing off, I must say…your pic is 100% glamorous! A complete “pass” in my book!
