It also is motivating for me who is still pre-HRT, as I struggle lots with my need to be passable. For me personally passing is a main fear I have and seeing someone pass THIS well is fantastic!
Just a word of advice: remember that cis people are not good at telling if someone is trans. You will always pass more to cis people than you realize, so long as the main things they pick up from you are feminine. I know some trans folks find it dreadful, but I honestly recommend voice training as one of the first things you do. I currently pass to the vast majority of cis people (as long as I have makeup on), but that would not be the case if my voice weren't so trained. I have yet to get formal voice training, so I'm all self taught! In fact, I had a passing voice before I started HRT, which helped a lot when I started being publicly out. That being said, it's much harder to fully "pass" to other trans folks, because we know exactly what to look for and are (often subconsciously) hyperaware of it.
Middle aged cis guy here, this is 100% correct in my view. My wife has teased me for 'not noticing' before.
I will add my personal note though because if I do notice that you're likely trans, genderfluid, or whatever, I am glad to see you all being you and not judging whether you pass or not.

True, I started with 80A at first, then just pre-hrt 75B, last was 80B or 80C, IIRC.
