Abstract
While passing is traditionally discussed in terms of race, this paper applies the concept to issues of gender, sexuality, and disability as well. Looking at cultural texts, as well as critical ones, this paper fleshes out issues of passing and what it means to be a minority in America, as well as how passing itself has been useful to different fields of study.
