For what it's worth, I am a T@F/PMRP actor and cis-female who has been cast in male roles (which I played as male -- we didn't change the character's gender) multiple times without being able to pass at all. I like to believe that I won the roles because of choices I made in gesticulation, posture, carriage and use of voice --- whatever the reason I landed the roles, it certainly wasn't for the way I looked. I'm not an isolated case.
Every audition form I've ever filled out for T@F asked me what gender(s) I would be willing to play without asking my own gender. (The very first one may have, but that was 8 years ago and I don't remember. I got a male role, though :-))

I hope you'll audition if you want to.
