passability

Ability to cross

Passability is the quality of being passable—adequate enough to get by, or capable of being traveled through.

A road's passability depends on weather and maintenance.

In transgender contexts, passability refers to how readily someone is perceived as their identified gender: She worried about her passability in public.
