Do I pass?
Any suggestions?

[nekoneko]

I don't want do always threads, but I won't dress feminine until breast surgery. I have a body and mentality feminine too..in a way I don't need dress . Anyone with these thoughts?

I thinks the lipstick is a bit strong. So perhaps you can tone down a bit of your makeup. It was just a makeup tips from me, it doesn't destroy the passing. You looks fine to me. You doesn't need to worry about passing.

You doesn't pass yet due several reasons. The main reasons are the testosterone affected skin texture and the facial hair. How long have you been on HRT? Your rough features would indeed soften at HRT and you would appear more feminine when the face soften. Getting more volume in your hair and a more feminine shape at your hair might also help. Having your hair lying flat down makes your face appear difference than what it would do with a different hair style according to what I've seen in earlier cases. In this case it might look more feminine with more volume. It also might make it appear feminine thick. Female and male do often have difference thickness at their hair as I've seen. A hair dresser can give you haircut advice, how to make you appear more feminine with a bit lesser squareness. That's my honest reply.

Out and about on the town today.

The only time I get gendered correctly is by waitresses but it's better than nothing.

okay... I know I don't pass, if I would, there wouldn't be such a commotion around me as I walk the streets.

I like my body, I like my face when I look in the mirror, but I guess my mind is stucked on pictures of me as a man and it's difficult to see anything else but that, or sometimes my brother

My philosophy (for now anyways) is that I assume that I look like a trans; I assume that I'm trans, and liking it (as in I don't have much of a choice anyways, and that's me).

I'm 6' tall. Unshaven 20 hours on these (well I only pluck my upper lip). All natural, as it says on that junk barrel forgotten on my balcony, just hormones. Hope the pics will be large enough. oh here is another link: https://postimg.org/image/4usa1p37n/

oh and please anyone comment, criticize... Posting this, that's what I expect and seek

I love your look Soli.

Pass, not pass. I am beginning to hate that term. Just I have one friend who is really suffering right now. I think that the fact that we have to pass to gain acceptance is ludicrous. What is worse is that we have to pass to accept ourselves. We ARE girls, if transgender oh well.

Sorry, rant over. I think that you look great!

Now if I can figure out how to put my pictures up.

[Michelle69Elizabeth]

Okay, give this a try.

You can hate that term all you'd like, as well as believing that passing to gain acceptance is ludicrous, but in the end you will find that it is necessary to pass in order to live a well adjusted life as a trans-lady.  We are not islands; we live in society.  No amount of social reform and acceptance will change the most basic and primal judgment from our peers based upon our looks.  Human nature may suck, but we either deal with it or drive ourselves batsh*t cuckoo.

My Endo has met a lot of transgendered women due to him (kinda) being the only game in town.  He has stated that "without question" there is a direct correlation between passing and happiness.  Happiest patients = passing patients.  Miserable patients = unpassable patients.  It's really really sad, but you cannot change the reality of the situation by wishing it away.

We do, however, agree on this point:  We ARE girls... on the inside.  No one sees your insides in a mall, or when buying groceries, or at the bar, etc etc~

You all look absolutely great!  I stand in awe of the courage and perseverance you are all demonstrating.  I am not Trans myself, but was drawn to the Trans issue:

This is my honest opinion: You doesn't pass at all, but I wouldn't suspect you being a transgender person either. I would assume you are the opposite gender if I met you at the street; cis male. Even though you have long hair and not so masculine clothes, you would still struggle due body shape and facial features. The society here I live also has started with more gender equality, so both genders/sexes wears clothes like that. E.g. skinny jeans etc.

Your brow bridge and the skull might be these features that makes passing as a woman harder for you. Your height, the lack of curves and other feminine shapes are also something that makes passing harder. You hasn't these shape, your body are straight down and flat chested. But HRT might change that.

[alex82]

I think that's a fair appraisal from Sebby.

I wouldn't have thought you were trying to pass. I'd have just thought older guy with slightly alternative style.

[Soli]

Cool, thanks Sebby for your comments. I appreciate. True I'll never have the classic woman shape, more that of top models hehe. Looks like I will remain skinny hrt or not. I have a good butt but nothing on the hips, and looks like I won't, but with more boobs, in my mind, I'll have the shape many cis women seek  anyways that's that (I'm cool w myself, I like miself); your comments explain the commotion around me
