Passing is a strategy in which an individual with a stigmatized identity hides that identity and presents themselves as someone who is part of a group that does not experience stigmatization. This can involve concealing one's cultural, racial, or sexual identity, for example, in order to be accepted by the dominant group. The other choices (retreat, escapism, and interactionism) do not involve blending in with a different group in this way.
