1. You look more and more like a dyke all the time.
2. Your uncle sounds pretty awesome
3. Passing vis gender identity - I think symbolic interactionalism (labelling theory) etc about how one re-affirms/obtains identity bits through social processes works here. I, personally, feel it's just NICE to be recognized for who one is without explanation. However, I've heard of some people for whom 'passing' is taken to extremes: moving to cities where they were not known as their assigned gender/transitioning - I'm also leery in these cases of revisionist history.
