Meanwhile its impossible to tell the difference between coffee and milk just by looking at it! If you disagree I shall declare you an anti-milkist. It's completely impossible you disagree with my assertion therefore you must be motivated by bigotry!
Creative analogy. However, it's not even remotely applicable.
You're falling victim to a basic observation bias. You notice the trans people who don't pass, but you have no idea how many trans people you see that do pass, and you'd never even consider that they're trans.
Again, found the "but I'm not even transphobic" transphobe.
You are correct that I might be unclear on how many are passing be virtue of only noticing the portion that do not.
Still 99.5% of people are cisgender. Some portion of those who are transgender don't pass. So 99.6–99.7 have a discernible gender. I still think my statement is correct numerically. It's not even clear what position you are defending and what position beyond a picayune one you think I'm attacking.
Keep being ignorant to your own biases, it will do you well in life, pompous jackass.
What bias? I don't have any negative feelings towards people who are trans.
