question for trans-men

do you like hearing “you pass really well”, like as a compliment?

I had an interaction a little bit ago with a classmate. He said we attended jr-high together but I had no recollection of us attending together. He told me that he started transitioning the summer before year 1 of secondary school. So i said “wow you pass really well, I had no idea!”

He did not seem very ecstatic. Did I say something wrong?
