As it is getting quite hot here recently, this was my office outfit for today

I wonder if I should tell the rest of my co-workers that I am transgender and what is this all about...
I think you might have some explaining to do
You look very natural and lovely Emily. I don't see why you should tell your co-workers anything as it's none of their business.
Thank You Mickie, Barbie, Stephaniec and Lady Smith :).
Lady Smith, I should tell them because I basically transitioned on the job and told only to the closest circle. The other colleagues dont know and they treat and speak to me as a guy (pronouns etc). I guess, this is one of the issues encountered when doing "slow, step-by-step approach" instead of "shock and awe" like showing up to the office while wearing a dress. Another drawback - and that's why I have finally pushing things forwards, is that there are newcomers and with them it's constant male fail no matter what I wear, so I have run into a couple of awkward situations and it just starts to become annoying.
Barbie, I am not sure I might loose my job - there are very few people in my country who are experts in the area that we are working in, besides, I have been doing this for 11 years and my superiors value me a lot. I kept things at hold because nobody could give me a definite answer if I would go the public route (I am on informed consent), would I be treated as mentally ill person, or not. But going the public route is the only way to get my gender legally changed, so I guess the only way to find those modalities out - is to start the proceedings and see what happens. I strongly suspect that they would make an exception for me and that could somehow smoothen the road for others.

Hey Emily,
I don't know if I can ask this, but in which country are you living in ? I hope everything will go well.
(By the way, I've seen your photos quite often and I always thought you were damn cool. ^-^ )

This is my first attempt at doing a full makeup and trying to pass. I know the angle and lighting aren't that great though. Can I get some tips and tricks on how to improve or what others have used to help cover the beard?
Please be kind, lol.
This is me this morning: I think I look less feminine than before, but I sure was feeling feminine in that moment. I had just gotten over losing items to theft and also my mistake of dropping expensive phones. As well as having been burnt on my legs and back from a so called "insect repellant" which has still not 100% healed after 2 weeks.

Perhaps you guys and gals can see what I still can't see for some reason. I mean i look decent I think, but just not anywhere near looking like a woman.

I can't see any beard shadow in the photo, but people have recommended something called Dermablend to me in the past. I haven't tried it yet.
You look quite a bit like Rebecca Adlington, so that's a pass then!

I must have seen quite a few of your posts in the past, each one more and more feminine. This time I think what you are seeing is beard shadow. Maybe it's more noticiable because of the lighting or something (the photo has a lot of blue in it). Except for that it would be 100% pass :)

For a first attempt, it's really strong. This is just my opinion but I'm not a huge fan of doing the black liner all the way around, especially inner edges. It tends to make the eyes look smaller. I would start just before the inner edge and maybe give a little flick at the outer or if you really want the all around look, make sure it's not all one thickness, smudge it up and go for a smoky eye. You can look up on youtube how to do it if you're confused, there's a million tutorials.

Thanks for the tips! :)
I saw a tutorial online for how to make eyes look bigger using white eyeliner, but I can't seem to find any in the stores I look in. Are there certain brands of makeup that seem to flatter us transgender girls more? I am on a tight budget so I can't afford any of the big name retailers. (maybe one day ;))

Assuming you're in the US. I second Target. Also, Bed Bath and Beyond and Ulta have good selections at reasonable prices. I know NYX makes a suitable white eyeliner pencil which is like $8 at Target.

Thanks! I found the exact one you mentioned at Target! Will have to try it out and see if it looks more natural. I LOVE the smokey eye look, and have always dreamed of being able to pull it off.

You look fine - and not having sticky out tracheal tissue really helps. However just a couple of observations! Don't take this the wrong way, only I've been doing make-up in various forms for years. From extreme to daily stuff.
You need to get permanent hair removal. I can see what you've done with the foundation in order to cover any shadows. I've done it too, but heavy layers like that end up looking waxy. Ideally you need to get rid so you don't have to worry. As an interim measure a powder will fill in any flaws and give a better blend. Also you can use a base foundation with an orange pigment, such as a copper colour. This is good for hiding dark patches.
Going for such heavy foundation with too little on the eyes doesn't look natural. Doing a little bit more up there will cause people to look up, rather than down, which is nice. They're lovely and big so bring them out!! Don't be afraid of darker colours for eyeshadow. Also remember to use the edges of eyelids and sockets as start points, you don't seem quite to have got right to the edge of your eyelid. It stops too soon on one side, if that makes sense. You can, for extra glam, colour right up to your brow ridge. Maybe that's better in the evening? But if you do it can look amazing in a different colour. Blend them together with a neutral Kohl crayon in grey or black. And definitely mascara. Some. And if you're wearing it more. Dab on then curl your lashes up and down with nice strokes.
You've definitely got nice cheekbones. Really nice. Why not try contouring? Just a few streaks of a light foundation, vanilla or whatever, under your foundation can work. Or you can go darker on your actual cheeks. Just remember the top of your cheekbone needs to catch the light.
And finally your eyebrows. Really sorry but they're not the best I've seen. Grow them back and get them sorted out properly. They don't come far enough in at the centre and they're too thick at the outer edges. If you imagine the lines from the vertical part of your nose continuing up your forehead (sounds weird), the eyebrow should touch that line. A good professional will use a stick to trace that line. Similarly the outer edge should be aligned with the tip of your nose. Which is good for balance, but you need a much more defined arch shape with hair taken from underneath. It doesn't cost a lot for wax or threading and it makes such a difference.
But we all have to learn these things. I've asked friends, colleagues, a beautician, even my Mum!!! No-one knows this stuff innately - it all has to be found out, no matter how you were born. Plus we'll (girls I mean) talk about it for hours.
Your hairstyle suits you and I like the top - love the pink. You've got a really nice face! It's round and it looks naturally feminine. You could, to me, do so much more with it ;) So none of that's criticism - it's just me being honest. :-*

Hi people,
I am still pre hrt, but I was managing to blend in a bit earlier in the year wearing something like this:

Since then, I've been growing my hair out and hoping I won't have to use a wig for too much longer. I got a new style last weekend. It is still way too short though:

You should change Your current avatar for that second picture - and ditch those glasses in Your avi, they make You look at least a decade older (and not in a flattering way). You look very cute and lovely, despite not being on HRT and getting on hormones should help with facial fat redistribution. How You will turn out in the end - nobody knows, but in Your case You have very good base and hormones should be kind to You! And since Your frame kinda predisposes towards hourglass (I had similar build) You can most probably hope for hips rounding out and butt getting fuller - they will balance out shoulders and arms, which in their turn will loose the muscle bulk anyway (if all else fails, You can always pull off that "athletic girl look").
Good luck! :)
Thanks Emily. Avi fixed and I'll ditch the glasses. Really, they're just something I hide behind anyway. I really want to try hrt anyway, so I'll see how that turns out.
Best wishes :)
as Emily said, HRT will be very kind to you
Keeping my fingers crossed :)
And keeping my fingers crossed that I can actually get hrt in the first place. Just getting hold of the stuff seems quite a process.

Hi...
I was wondering if anyone could take a gander in my album and tell me if my body could pass, but as I know it is far from passing, maybe you could focus more on the legs...
http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/da1987/library/Changeroom (http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/da1987/library/Changeroom) Pass is vanya6
Bear in mind that most pics are top-heavy (birds-eye-view) as the visually tapering curtain in the background shows...
I would like to think, even though I have lost some weight in that area, that I have decent or semi-decent legs, that I have at least something to work with, even though I have recently discovered a perk of losing overall mass which is my waist going down to my personal low ever!
But please, be as honest as possible; I can take criticism and scrutiny.
Thank you.
Regards,
Vanya
look like normal girl legs to me

Sarah, - if I hadn't been told I would have thought I was looking at photos of a cis-woman. If you're pre-HRT wow are you ever going to bloom once you start on hormones. I love your outfit by the way, you've got great dress sense.
Here are some images today, and don't know if I pass now...everyone else seems so beautiful here.

This is my first attempt at doing a full makeup and trying to pass. I know the angle and lighting aren't that great though. Can I get some tips and tricks on how to improve or what others have used to help cover the beard?
Please be kind, lol.

I know my voice doesn't pass. At this point, I am not even trying in that regard. But I was watching the following video with the volume turned down, and I think I am getting closer. I want to know if I pass without my voice.

honestly, your head looks like anyone else's walking down the street. I really don't think I've ever questioned anyone's gender from the back or the size of their head. On the list of important attributes for male and female head size falls between color of toe nail polish and the 2nd and 4th finger length debate as far as determining your gender. Please no offense just my opinion from living on this planet for 63 years. You have a pretty face though.

Hey Steph...I must say you are moving right along. Looking good. :)
It's been over 2 years since I've last posted in this threat. And a lot's changed since then and I've been on hormones a little over 4 months now and really want to hear from you gals. It's hard for my family to judge my appearance since they know how I look in my usual male form. So I'm asking you for your honest opinions:

Hello all,
I am 21 years old from Slovakia and I began RLE, still pre-HRT, you have to be few months on RLE before starting HRT here.
This is me how i went out 2 weeks ago. Used hair extensions as are seen on one photo and a little makeup. Would like to hear your opinions.
Sorry for the image quality, but I do not have better camera :P

Hi, me again.
I posted a "do my legs pass"? question earlier, but this time I have a few pictures of the rest of my body as well,
so if anyone is willing to take a peek and give their two cents, I'd really appreciate it.
Here is the link to the album, although someone might notice pictures repeating themselves... well, that's because
some of them (the last five) are photoshopped copies where I tried to fix the bird's eye perspective to make them more assessment-friendly.
Anyway, here is the album; every comment is welcome.

Hi,
You look very natural. I wouldn't double take you if I saw you anywhere. What's befuddling is you're pre-HRT... Mother nature has been lenient on you, you're going to look amazing once you start HRT.
Kind regards,
Vanya.

your doing quite well for 3 months.
I'm now at 6 months of low dose HRT. This was me from this morning's therapy session...

Been growing my hair out for the past 19 months from a very short butch hair cut.
I would love to hear your opinions!
Are you planning to go to higher dose or are you content where your at.
Hi Stephanie,
I would love to move up to a full transition dose but for now trying to go slow in order to maintain my marriage. The changes have been slow and allowed my wife to adjust so far. Her largest fear has been the expected changes to my chest. So far visually she says I still look maleish, however physically I no longer have male pectorals, I clearly have female breasts to the touch.
Just covered all of this in therapy this morning. I know that I need to have full SRS to relieve my GID. It's a daily struggle/balancing act not to move forward at lightning speed.
In the mean time low dose HRT and slowly changing my wardrobe over to female clothing (leaning more toward the androgynous side at the moment).
I'm very much looking forward to the day that I hit male fail!
It's a long road especially dealing with others feelings take your time I'm 63 and just started 22 months ago.

I know, it's just so darn hard to take it slow. I'm 45 and have been struggling with this since I was 5. The past 12 years have been the worst. Hit the wall and just couldn't take it anymore back in mid 2013.
If my wife was on board I would just go full time and full dose tonight even.
But she's not, so as you said I'm taking my time and proceeding at a pace that my wife is comfortable with. :-)
My own personal belief is that its best to try to save a marriage. I've been alone all my life and I have wish so hard it was different for me , but I'm working with what I got so I move along.
I think you look beautiful

I'm pretty much in the same boat...
I'm 48 and my Endo just recently increased my E and S dosage. My wife is very supportive as is my whole family. I'm starting to have noticeable breast activity, specially around the areola.
I'm not ready for full-time yet as I have many things to look at like Name Change on civilian and military documents.
I'm more than likely waiting for the hormones to make people start questioning my "Male" persona, lol.
A long road for most of us.

Thanks for all the positive responses. I have been working a lot so I haven't been able to present femme in public much (I'm not out at work) so it was nice to go out again
I'm out at work but not presenting yet. I'm gonna wait till hrt shows more
Hannah, your face looks really fem as it Is and a tiny bit of eyebrow work would only enhance that.
Amber, totally cis. Wavy hair suits you! I always think slightly messy looks better than too tidy. It kind of looks like you don't have too make too much effort. Hope that doesn't come across badly, I just wish I could reach that point!
geeky_jamie, you look super stylish. just a bit more concealer/foundation to totally obliterate the shadow and you will look like a model.

Thanks I didn't really put much effort in tbh. I woke up late and didn't have time to do anything except shower foundation and eyeliner. So yea it is nice to be to the point where I don't need as much effort as I used to.
It took me awhile to get to this point though.
Yep, I think that's what I'm trying to say in my typically mangled way. You pass effortlessly. And I'm totally jealous :)

Unfortunately I only pass at certain times. I am in the hair removal process so when I have facial hair regrowth I don't pass. Right after lasers I don't pass. This pic is taken at the peak time between sessions so that helps. Also having long hair helps
You all look really good :)

Likewise, I'm in a place where I have to have to spend 2-3 days of the week with stubble for electrolysis or resting after electrolysis. For sure, any shadow is not noticable in your photo. Your face is very similar to a cis-fem work colleague. She's annoyingly petite and girly, but I forgive her! (or at least I try to forgive!)
Omg tears from the kind words :0). I am just about to start laser and electro as soon as my work schedule permits. Been working in my office late at night for 8 days in a row :0( I will not start presenting at work until october hopefully.

Terrified.
I'm still pre-hrt, but you've all inspired me to put myself out there.
Judging by the results of others, I think you'll be pleased.

Trust me, you do not have to be terrified! You have very feminine facial features (small chin; soft eyes; and kissable lips hehe) You already look female to me and I'm not just saying it to make you feel better. If I saw you on the street I would've identified you as a cute girl. HRT will do wonders for you.
i agree also. If i saw u on street i would think female.
... I can't stop smiling! Thank you all so much for your kindness. (-:
Now you don't have to post pictures in this thread anymore. You can move directly to "You look fabulous darling". Looking forward to seeing more pics of you. ;)

You have such a lovely face shape. Hormones will do you very well. I wouldn't change a thing about your face! ;D
I don't know what to say anymore... You're so sweet, all of you. I didn't expect to be beaming from cheek to cheek like I've been, so thank you. :-3
great starting point
New wig, second time with makeup and pre-anything.

You look radiant. Your make up is gorgeous, and your eyebrows are perfect! I hope you don't mind but you remind me of a presence similar to Marion Cotillard (I honestly idolize her so I mean this as a big compliment). Your eyes are like diamonds!
Gorgeous! (:
Looking good archlord!
This will probably be my last picture until after FFS on Monday.

Absolutely amazing. Really unbelievable. I'm Breathless... Your gorgeous!!! And pre-HRT and second time make-up. I applaud you! :o
Boy mode photo before my first ever full face IPL :(
No hrt still and only 6 months of hair growth thus far from the old army cut. I hate my hair as it is wavy and has a life of its own. I am still trying to drop weight as I now have a lot on my neck throat to shed, as well as my tummy/back. It has been a very long 9 months of preparation to get to this point. I just think I am doomed, old haggard and ugly as sin.

Quite honestly, there is not one woman in this thread whom I don't see as beautiful, amazing, radiant, and gorgeous! Were it possible, I would tell that to each and every one of you in person after giving you a big hug.
You are all awesome! Thank you for your vulnerability, thank you for your courage, and thank you for being true to your selves :) <3 <3

Wow, I already see the girl in you if I look right. I think you'll be amazed when you start. You have a good chin, I think your brow isn't that bad, and your hair is great. I have wavy hair, and women just had to compliment me on it when I started growing it out. I've been told all kinds of things about their jealousy and I'm now very happy I have my hair, but back before I knew how to care for it I was not.
I'd recommend shampoo and conditioners without sulfate compounds. I like to use Giovanni Triple Tea Ointment shampoo and conditioner on mine:
https://thrivemarket.com/giovanni-tea-tree-triple-treat-invigorating-shampoo?fee=1&fep=2730&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_campaign=Default%20Category%2CBath%20%26%20Body%2CBath%20%26%20Body%20%3E%20Natural%20Hair%20Care%2CBath%20%26%20Body%20%3E%20Natural%20Hair%20Care%20%3E%20Shampoo&utm_content=716237130082-Tea%20Tree%20Triple%20Treat%20Invigorating%20Shampoo&gclid=CJfkhImZzMcCFY81aQodAakMwg
It is amazing feeling, and does wonders for my scalp. I also use a stay in conditioner with olive oil. My favorite due to the smell is this:
http://www.houseofbeautyworld.com/hobeolcrha5o.html?cmp=googleproducts&kw=hobeolcrha5o&gclid=CLKkjrGZzMcCFYQAaQodL_0FjQ#
This moisturizes my head, keeps my hair manageable, adds a nice shine, smells good, and allows me to take days off from washing my hair, because washing daily is bad for delicate hair like ours.(REALLY it isn't good for anyone, but people with more durable hair can wash more frequently with less bad effects)
Brush it daily with the moisturizer or something similar and I think you'll see results! :D Hope I've been a help.
I want to see if people can tell me if I'm passable yet, or still getting there. But how do I attach a picture?

One thing I would recommend, if possible, get off ipl and do real lasers. after five sessions my face is mostly clear of my shadow. I still have some hairs but my shadow is not really that visible.
Do I look Passable??? Please completely honest answers. Please oh please tell me what can I do to make myself look more feminine, recently transitioned. I literally only see a boys face and can't tell, since its mine, and hasn't changed much.

Thank You for any help! Please analyze all the photos please. And please tell me all my masculine qualities, that prohibit me from passing.
You don't look bad at all now, but doing something with your hair probably would be what I would recommend. Hugs

You have a very pretty face with soft features. I definitely think you will have no problems passing. You even can pull off short hair to be honest. I think you look good. Face wise at least!
This photo is pre anything and I had my makeup professionally done...I have some real doubts about ever being able to even blend in.
I am pre everything and have always felt I would have difficulty blending in even let alone passing..maybe with some hrt, ffs??
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php?action-gallery;sa=view;id=346
I was hoping that someone would be honest enough to give me an idea of the things I need to change to improve my chances. I can take being told I can't pass better than no response at all. It won't change the ultimate outcome of my transition but I may need to take care of things I am not aware of.
Please be honest with me...I may not want to hear it but that doesn't mean I don't need too.

I understand why you only see a boy's face as that's the nature of our curse. Just never forget that you will likely always see yourself differently than others see you (at least sometimes).
I certainly see a cute chick when I look at those photos, though. As you are in the photos (with exactly what you are wearing, style, no earrings, etc), I don't think you'd raise any alarms.
I would totally keep short hair if I were you but maybe get a more feminine cut. You look super cute with short hair.
ive been abroad in the uk and france for three weeks so i've been absent from here but i just got back and i got a wig and i got better at applying makeup and i feel pretty lol im not so sure if i look like it but i would like constructive criticism on that :)

I like the make-up you've done, really, especially your eyes. Buuut.... You can hardly see it because of those glasses!!! I know that shape is almost current in some places, but the frames are far too thick and severe for you. They really need to go, sorry honey :-* If they're actual glasses you could replace them with thinner frames or a flatter design. We've got similar (slightly) shaped faces and they don't carry big glasses well. Longer faces possibly, but not round ones.
It's great you have got a rounded face, because it looks so feminine, and it's easier to visit an optician than a plastic surgeon. And so much cheaper ;) I know it's the whole geek fashion thing, but for me it just doesn't suit. Maybe even try frameless or something.
Secondly, not sure where you are in the world, but having just visited the UK you'll have seen that eyebrows need to be arched. Yours are a little flat.
That's about it!! The rest of it really does work for you :) And wouldn't it be nice to be able to see the make-up you spent so long doing??

thank you for the honesty lol
my glasses are real and i need them to see and i really like them so i hope that's just preference. i didn't get them to follow fashion trends; i picked them out years ago when i was really into buddy holly and have just stuck with them since. i think they frame my face well plus they give me something to hide behind. however, i have thought about getting a pair of more feminine frames but that's hard when i need a prescription and money and confidence. i really like my current ones though. it's more retro than geek to me.
as for the eyebrows, i know the thing is to have them curved and arched and thin, but i really really like strong thick pointed-at-the-end ones. that's just preference too. i think the way I do my eyebrows is still distinctly feminine.
i've grown to appreciate my face lately though so thank you :) i used to hate how i looked without my glasses but the makeup has really been a confidence boost. i'm definitely going to look into a second pair of glasses

Thank you , still thinking if i should transition
What do you mean 'still thinking'? Having doubts about changing or just about starting HRT?
I dont have doubt but transitionning for me has the consequence that my girlfriend wont stay with me.

Hun, there is always consequences that come along with transition. That being said it's not my life, and you know what's best for you...I don't think we should pressure you onto doing anything you aren't 100% comfortable with.

i had a thread explaining my situation 2 month ago . Things changed since that . I decided to leave her to transition but 10 days after a strong feeling "temporary" froze my dysphoria and all i had in my mind was "i want to get her back" since i truly love her and i was happy with her before that i informed her about my dysphoria. I said "temporary" because when i came back to her she didnt want to get back in a relationship with me at all . However things are getting better but .. Those thoughts i had in my head are getting back as there is place for it now since i am not crying and regretting leaving her anymore .
I always thought that my dysphoria will disappear the day I get a girlfriend and marry. But then I realized that my feelings of changing are way too strong. At first being in love or married will numb the feeling of changing but when everything settled I knew that the feeling of changing will start haunting me again. I don't want that. Not saying it's the same situation, but time will tell for you. Best of luck...

First post.
Just wondering if I could pass as a cis looking lady? I've come out as transgender fairly recent and I'm going to see a hormone doctor 3 months from now through an informed consent path. The main concern that I have is my appearance, I just want to be somewhat passable. I am 25 and I have a huge dysphoria with my appearance. Realizing I'm trans elevated this dysphoria.
Here's a photo of me taken a month ago, I'm wearing a wig courtesy of my coworker. I also lost 10lbs since then. Sorry for the facial hair as I wasn't ready when they have me wear the wig.. (-_-)'

Yup I'm jealous now!
I'm not on HRT and I'm not trying to look like a female in this pic.
I just want to know your opinions about my face and if, for you, I will look more feminine when I start HRT (I know you can't foresee).

aay sure you will look more female with HRT, especially since you dont have a very masculine face and not such a bulky body like me :I
wow, you even grew your hair out, I KNOW you will look absolutely fine ;D

Trust me, you'll do fine. I can already see 'her' in the pic. It's an amazing journey and adjusting your health, losing weight and just starting to be who you are will give you the confidence that will make you pass. You already poses soft facial features and hormones will do wonders for you. Trust me. You won't believe the changes. Just remember that it's a sloooooooow proses but totally worth it in the end. Looking forward to seeing more of you. Blessing from me on your new journey and remember we're here for you. And btw welcome to Susan's!

pre hrt... wow just wow !!!! you look great. I would guess if you carry yourself with feminine grace nobody is going to run behind you on the street throwing rocks. some may chase you for your phone number though. I'm sure some of the more experienced ladies will chime in that passing is about a lot more than just physical looks. That said your off to a wonderful start..... just stunning, I'm a little envious.
Thanks you Grace for the warm welcome!

pre-hrt , first time wearing a dress . i am 36(33)-27-36 and my waist keep lowering so fast i cant explain it.
I can see well defined hips appearing.
i suppose it is due to the fact that i stopped bodybuilding and the heavy protein diet that was comming with it.
i hope that my shoulders will recude in size aswell.

pre-hrt , first time wearing a dress . i am 36(33)-27-36 and my waist keep lowering so fast i cant explain it.
I can see well defined hips appearing.
i suppose it is due to the fact that i stopped bodybuilding and the heavy protein diet that was comming with it.
i hope that my shoulders will recude in size aswell.

Either way, happy I had a makeover!
Thanks
found myself, got moved over
You all look so good, oh my god ;)
I wish I looked that female, oh well, I will have to work on myself x.x
Maybe one day I will be able to show myself too with confidence ^^
Archlord, you look amazing. And I love your sleeve!
thank you so much, i still see me as a man so having people telling me i am looking good is nice.
i suppose that it is just like bodybuilding, you dont see the changes much but others are amazed of it.
btw bdgirl, you look very girly from my point of view.

You've got the prettiest eyes, And that long bob hair really suits you. I can only imagine how good your make-up skills are going to be if this was one of the first times trying make-up. PD: where did you get that dress?

You look amazing! The only thing that throws me off a little (and this is just constructive criticism) is the legs. Still a little to much muscle definition there, but even with that, the overall appearance screams beautiful woman. Well done! :)

I sincerely hope you'll still be here after you celebrate your 1st year (if you are indeed planning on HRT, I just assumed so)... you're already so pretty and will be out-of-this-world-gorgeous by then. Keep on keeping on, lady! :D

Hey, my statement still stands. Overall, you are a very beautiful woman. Would not even double take at you if I passed you on the streets (other than maybe out of jealousy ;)). 100% woman and rocking it!

Wahou ! You pass so well. Congrats !!! :)
When I see the photo of the man with beard (which wasn't the real you) I'm like "it is not the same person at all !!!". It is really like two different person.
I'm an FTM and for a while, I tried to look like "a girl" and when people see my photos long hair/short hair, they are very surprised :)

I like the dark one better... But I Guess thats personal... I like brunettes better thans blondes.
That said; if you maybe color your eyebrows the blonde one Will fit you also very well ;)

I tend to favor blondes, but brunette looks better on you. Or maybe it's just the wig itself, like, I think maybe some darker roots would look more natural.

Definitely the dark. It frames your face and really makes your beautiful eyes pop so much better.
The blonde wig washes out your skin tone too much. The brunette wig really does suit you best.

HRT is more Powerful than people think, you really don't know until you try it out.
I'm just going to throw this in here. This is in total guy mode, nothing special going on. Pre- transition and -HRT. I just thought I looked pretty alright and wanted to make sure it's not all in my beholding eye.

Wow Olive, you're so young... not even a hint of MPB. You have a good base to start.

Honestly I don't think your face is super masculine now. the shadow needs to be dealt with, and eyebrows could use some shaping, but with hrt your skin will get smoother and softer. And that will definitely help you face get more feminine.
Hi everyone, just wanted to ask what your opinions are of my face pre-HRT. Think I would pass? What do you think are my biggest problem areas? Thanks in advance! [23M]

@Bubble Trouble: A more feminine haircut, a splash of makeup, and smile... the stern look on your face doesn't work with feminine. It will immediately soften your face... then you might get some more constructive feedback.
Lose the sideburns, attend to the eyebrows, *hair*, a light foundation, get some color on those lips, and some feminine clothes would go a long way. The other is try to project some femininity.
Your pictures scream boy.

Thanks for your feedback! The stern look is because I tried to give as neutral an expression as I could -- I worry that anything other than neutral wouldn't reflect what my facial structure could be. If I were to maintain a neutral face say one year into HRT do you think the expression will remain similar?
Grooming and make-up aside, I'm just worried my facial structure simply isn't conducive to looking feminine. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I'd hope that you'd be happier as the estrogen does it's work. Bone structure is fine. The truth is, orientals generally get quite a bit of mileage out of the "mileage may vary" disclaimer.
Truthfully, with the correct application of makeup and the right outfits, many masculine features can be masked (women do it all the time). Even without the magic pills.
There's many many tricks to achieve the "feminine pass"... the cosmetics industry was built on it. What you can't buy is feminine mannerisms. Posture, composure, etc..
@bubbletrouble: shape your eyebrow and fill them in, I see some spots, filling them in is very important, also I think you should start growing your hair out as soon as possible, even if you don't plan being full time right away, there is plenty of guys with long hair, hair takes some time before growing... Also practice with make up, don't just wait last minute (right before going part-time or full-time), because it can be hard at first... Besides that I don't consider myself someone that can predict the future or miracles of hrt, I would say again to start as soon as possible with that too, because the sooner the better... Good luck!
It looks like you're hiding some great legs there girl :)
Slow progress but progress nonetheless. I'm feeling rather hopeless about my jaw and chin, thinking FFS may be unavoidable. Anybody else experience much change in this area with HRT (I'm only about four months in)?

Your face will change some. But won't change bone structure. Have you tried a contouring palette? From what I understand they'd take you off E for FFS, so I'd try contouring as a stop gap, while I was waiting for the estrogen to do it's work.
Harley, everyone who posts pictures in thread are at all different stages of their transitions. Some want to know because they are concerned if they transition that they won't pass or a huge amount of work might be required so they show themselves as they are now. This thread is here to help people know if they pass or what it might take for them to do so. Hugs

A friend of me and my wife just let us loot her old M.A.C. (and assorted brands) treasure chest and we are both just learning how to properly use make-up. My wife is nearly as clueless as I am about it. So... I'll try the pallet soon, thanks for the suggestion.

Mods please delete this if it's wrong.
Few posts above I posted some photos. I am mainly concerned about my facial bone structure. If somebody could comment on that, great.
Put black boxes around your eyes and leave the blur alone... that'll give you anonymity but let people see your face clearly (specifically bone structure which is what you want us to see, yes?).
As of right now, I can't see poop.
Ditto. Tough to see through the haze... Black the eyes, it's what US Special Forces do for graduation pictures to maintain anonymity. Pretty effective.

I really like the Kate Von D pallette. It's nothing more than a series of highlights and shadows to give depth and effectively alters the appearance of your facial features. ie. Narrow the bridge of the nose, minimize jawline, and raise cheekbones. It's very effective. If you have a bunch of MAC, and I LOVE MAC, I would take some of your treasures to a MAC counter and ask for application help. They can even identify anything you might be missing to complete your look. Having a bunch of their stuff and getting just a couple things will generally get you a complimentary makeover lesson. It comes with the cost of their products. They also have a great exchange policy, if what you have isn't quite your color. They will trade to get you looking your best. ☺
I figured I'd better delete my previous posts in here since the photos were not good and post again (thanks for the previous comments btw)
So:
Haven't done anything yet though (other than loosing 10 pounds I had gained last winter), just different photos.
Please ignore body hair.
I'm mainly concerned about my facial structure and upper body.
General opinions? I'm wearing skinny ankle girl jeans I bought yesterday + some girl tee (hard to find one fitting and not cutting inside my armpits). The jeans are one size smaller than I normally wear cause they generally loosen - right now they are a bit tight around the waist but I can wear them for a few hours.
I'm not wearing any makeup or stuff like that, just freshly shaved.

Comments welcome (both general and also regarding my facial structure).
Thanks!
I would say that you have a decent base to start. Your shoulders aren't overly broad. Some of the bulk in your shoulders will fall away causing a more slender appearance. Which will help a lot since you have narrow hips. You will get more "accumulation" around the hips and butt, and with the slimming of your shoulders should make it a good fit.
Facial bone structure is fine. Although you could use a little more fleshing out. I know whenever you lose weight, it's always in your face first. So, I would imagine it'll come back quickly. Which is thankfully one of the effects of E. It will help to fill in your cheeks. All in all not a bad base to work off. The biggest thing is your 5 o'clock shadow is heavy like mine. It'll be a lot of work toning that down early on. I use MAC studio fix concealer and foundation liquid and the powder to mask my facial hair. It's a little heavier than a lot of them. Hope it helps.
I've started having laser on my face since these were taken, so hopefully my next pics will look a bit less heavy on the makeup, but I"d appreciate your thoughts. I'm seeing a therapist at the moment about transition (haven't started AA's or HRT yet), and I'm scared about not fitting in as female - what are (honestly) my odds on passing? How much difference might HRT make without ffs? I'll be starting transition a bit late at 37 and unfortunately male pattern hair loss has struck me down, so I'll be stuck with a wig...

Wahou ! You pass so well. Congrats !!! :)
When I see the photo of the man with beard (which wasn't the real you) I'm like "it is not the same person at all !!!". It is really like two different person.
I'm an FTM and for a while, I tried to look like "a girl" and when people see my photos long hair/short hair, they are very surprised :)
Thank you. :) therapy starts soon and hopefully not long til HRT
@Sarahcraft, I'd say pass! You have a great smile. I don't see heavy makeup, but could just be the pictures. You could have fooled me that you weren't already on HRT. Picture #1 is all girl. Wow! You don't have to worry about the look... if your body language and speech is down, then I wouldn't know the difference.
@Harley Quinn thank you, you just made me cry a bit of happy. I've been working on my voice for about three weeks now, every day, and I'm amazed at progress so far. I've read it takes up to 6 months to get to a place you're happy with, so I'm hoping by then I'll be comfortable. That's about the time I'm looking at anyway for going full time. I don't see much value in going full time while sounding like a guy, I'd rather give myself the best chance of not being ridiculed daily (as much as possible). Body language is a work in progress!
No thanks are necessary. It's the cold hard truth. You're a foxy lady. I look forward to hearing how things turn out for you. You already have the all important selfie down... 😊
Cheers!
Managed to get a better photo. I'm trying to get a litter better at makeup. Still no HRT yet. Although first appointment with the GP on Thursday. Pretty excited but also really nervous.

You look so beautiful in this pick
Very much so. I'm more than a bit envious. I love your hair and eye color.
Dori.
Oohhh! What is that lip color? Such an amazing red!
As I'm about to go to the psychologists regarding my non binary feelings (most likely a Genderqueer male who wants to appear female, without altering my body) I probably wouldn't want to go on HRT anytime soon. So that being said, how likely would it be that I could pass as female, based on the photo of me at this link (which is an every day cis mode photo), and what could I do to make myself appear more feminine?
http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/tn90/media/406390_3073214318516_289720205_n_zpsff3529a1.jpg.html
@lemons, I went over your pictures many times and cannot see the large head. In the first set, you do look slightly boyish, but you're certainly not the worst. In the second set, well, of course you look more feminine, but your head does not appear disproportionately big. Hence the following questions:
1. You say you're head stops you from passing. Do you mind me asking in which context ?
2. Just how big is your head? If yours is big, mine must be gigantic! I've measured my head's circumference to be 62 cm while the average for women is 55 cm!
3. Which leads me to this third question: why wouldn't long hair suit you? With the proper hairstyle, anybody can rock longer hair! In fact, longer hairs without so much bulk can help frame a larger face.
From what I see, you don't need surgery. Of course it's up to you.

Martine

My head is the most noticeably masculine and off looking part of my body when I look in the mirror. It also stands out amongst other people in group photos, big time. Check out these one pre transition pics to give you an idea just how ginormous my noggin is/was:

Now granted, a bit of fat and muscle did thin it out a tad over a few years with hormones....couple that with my front hair line coming back and growing bangs to cover my forehead. But short of that, all that bone still remains. And boy is it quite a bit of bone. 60 cm worth. (23.7 inches around) Still looks pretty massive next to others too:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fa335zy7l.jpg&hash=bedbdcc2232a80df49dcaf039210a24490053590)
Even when others aren't in the frame you'd think it looks normal:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4eaWTzUl.jpg&hash=d600e0f7e86616c36d103b940b098e1c97cee105)
1. Taking this all into account and when I see myself around other people even now and in group photos, it just makes me look like a guy with a slightly femme face.
2. It is smaller than yours, but only by 2 cm. 23.7 inches around. I guess the actual measurement doesn't matter because I've known other cis and passing trans women with my sized head or larger. Hell, one transwoman I know has a 26 inch head around and passes fine. So I doubt it's around head size. It's gotta be head shape and how bulky the bone there makes it seem/look.
I mean, my genetics suck ass. I have very manly masculine genetics I inherited. The men on my mom's side have massive long friggin noggins, and I definitely picked up on that. I don't think mine is quite as bad as theirs? But I also did start hormones at 24, so who knows. I was definitely fully developed frame wise by 17...
Different uncles, both on the far right side of each picture:

3. Why not long hair on both sides? Because I've tried it. Here's how I looked:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FEubkYkPl.jpg&hash=3b2f839907d92a65b9f9c84d4a8bb3e8fd8b82a5)
Yeah. Not great. Granted, that was a year and a half ago, but asides from rhinoplasty my face structure didn't change a bit. I tried seeing how my hair would look worn down yesterday, and it looked the same.
I'm not opposed to the idea of letting it grow, and I am. I did noticed the flatter I made my long strands, the less awkward it looked. (bulkier long hair worn down on me looks
really awful as you can see) Still doesn't really work like it would on a cis woman though, like at all. I certainly don't think I have a chance in hell...even
with FFS, of ever passing or blending even moderately (never mind perfectly or well) into society as female. What if I told you even trying to present in that way (the way I look in all my best pictures even) I'm clocked as trans 100% of the time? What if I told you when I present as andro I'm read as male 100% of the time and never bothered/given a second glance? The future...does not look bright for me. And I'm 3.5 years on HRT. I'm screwed.
I just...don't see it happening with what I'm working with. It's quite harsh and distinctly male.

...and it shows. I've seen your pics here a couple of times before, but this is the first time I've seen your pre-transition self and I was really blown away; You're a different person now.
But I get it, I get it: That fact doesn't matter to you :-\
Your biggest issue is your own self-image I'm afraid. I would never tell another sister a lie about their appearance, so please trust me when I say: you're fine! (at least in two dimensions hehe)

Hi Jessie, You look amazing, and yes, you definitely pass. :)

Thanks Mariah and Lady Smith. It really has been an amazing 6 months. When I look in the mirror I can't believe the woman looking back at me is really me. I am so thankful for all of the information and support I have found here that has helped me get to this point in my transition.
Wow everyone looks so good

All right - be nice!! Well you always seem to be. Still pre everything except laser. I've had my eyebrows done though ;) Excuse the photos - it's early in the morning here. I've been out with some friends and felt like playing with my camera. I don't know whether it's any good or not? I think maybe OK but there's always work to do. I'm in very heavy makeup in the pictures but the clothes are what I wear when not having to pretend. It was a bit of a casual day for me, so nothing too fancy. I'm also getting there with hair and now down to a UK dress size 6 (US 2). Sorry I didn't brush it lol!!!! Also sorry about the décor. It's a bit of an old house and it needs doing. I feel like I'm in a fifties timewarp sometimes. It's gone beyond retro now :-*

If you look that good early in the morning without HRT Missy you are ever going to bloom once you start :)

Hi - once you upload the image to the sharing site you need to get its URL - eg http://photosharingsite.com/photo.jpg and then put it between the IMG tags... that usually works!
Pre anything.
Could I pass with laser, fix eyebrows, growing hair and some HRT?
It keeps me busy all day long, looking at mirrors and wondering if I'll pass with HRT ???
22 yo (Does it mean HRT will affect me fast due to HGH?)

Im sure you could look great! I have seen some transformation videos with people with your face structure and they turn into beautiful women. You could try laser hair removal to get you going. Even if you don't go through with the transtion is great not having to shave anymore.

I think I'm doing okay so far. Have had a few "Miss's" going my way so that's reassuring.
Still paranoid of getting "Sir'd" when I go out.
As for body, I think it's been saving me. My face is like my least favorite part of my body.
Ignore the potato on the right pic. XD

Ok so what do you reckon, I've been putting the effort in over the last couple of weeks to try and learn how to do my makeup properly (omg liquid eyeliner is the worst!). Currently no HRT and these are my first real attempts at getting anywhere near passability. Unfortunately the wig is a bit cheap and nasty but we've gotta start somewhere eh?!

YAY for you! I don't like when people make no attempts of feminizing, at least you're trying, and it looks very successful for your first time, the wig is actually better than the one with I started with, so props to you for that, I would drop the bottom eyeliner, only use it for the top lashes, I use it sometimes for the bottom, but you need to put it as close to your lashes as possible (which is very hard), and usually only for like a special occasion anyway... Also maybe try filling in your eyebrows with make up!
Thanks so much for the lovely advice! I need to try and get a more natural look, and as you all say the eyeliner is too much. Need to be more subtle! I also started working on my eyebrows this evening, and will be plucking them little by little until I can get a nice shape. The more involved I get at the moment, the more I realise how much it fits with who I feel I am. Thanks again ^.^ xoxo

I'm not quite sure what's going on with the eyeliner but the rest of you looks amazing!!! Just use it for the lid, or very sparingly underneath but you really need to do the whole smoky eye thing for that to work. With too little other makeup it looks a little strange. But don't forget it took all of us ages to perfect this!!
The real reason I posted was to shout "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at you for even thinking of plucking your own eyebrows. ;) Unless you've had training or previous experience then I think it's quite likely to go wrong. Just my opinion, of course, but it's not expensive to have them waxed. I go to an expensive, well reasonably expensive, salon and it's cheap there. So rather than risk looking silly, just find someone qualified to do them for you :-* Or at least that's what I think, I could be wrong and you might turn out to be the best tweezer-er ever. :) xx

I don't think you pass right now, but I do think that you have some female characteristics in your face, especially your nose, lips, and mouth (the distance between the base of your nose and upper lip look to be within the normal female range), and I think long hair would benefit you; as well as losing some weight to make your face more slender. I also think that you will improve with more time on hormones. Best wishes. :)

Pre everything, 23. Since deciding that I want to transition my image problems seem to have gotten much worse. I'm not particularly worried about the body: I'm 5'3/5'4 tops with wide hips. I do think my shoulders are too broad and I'm overweight. I have being dieting lately and dropped about 14 lbs and plan to keep at it, as for the first time in my life I actually care. I'm very hairy but I know I can just get rid of that.
I'm more worried about the face, maybe it's just the anxiety and worrying too much but I can't help but feel that maybe my nose is just too big, my brow too prominent, the shape too far off to ever pass.
So here's me at my worst, an unshaven unkempt mess with absolutely no effort to appear more feminine:

I still have a beard and I've been on hormones for 2 months. My thought process? Why bother until I've been on a full transitioning dose for at least 6-9 months (I personally don't think I'm at that level, appointment on the 1st of October) and there's noticeable changes? So you may be unkept now, but don't lose hope. It's possible, promise.
Longer hair, trimmed eyebrows, and no facial hair goes an incredibly long way to feminizing your face. I'd say a year on HRT (if that's the route you want to take) and a few non-surgical changes will be amazing for you. :)
Needle. I think your face shape lens itself very well for a feminine look :-) it's a very rounded face, and I must say I'm completely jealous of your height and hips!

Thank you, my emotions keep switching between hopeful excitement and hopelessness but any kind words help.
Why dont you get yourself an appointment to shape your eyebrows?
Also you could try laser on your beard to thin it out?
Anyway Im sure you will look great! :)
I know how you feel completely. Watching those transformation videos on YouTube restores my hopefulness but sometimes I look in the mirror and feel like my brow line is straight up Neanderthal.

Hey girls. I decided to go out and buy a wig and a few pieces of makeup. I had a play around with the webcam on my computer, and this is the result.
I was so excited! The quality of the pictures aren't so great though. What can I do to improve? Do you think I could pass as a girl? Any tips or things you can point out that I could improve on?
Thanks for viewing!

archlord,
You look like a mixture of Megan Fox (2009) and Katy Perry.
thank you everyone for the kind words. very encouraging :)
Thank you . I also got recently told i had similar features with burcu esmersoy. I guess that if i am a mix of these 3 person + my male traits(for now ) then im not looking so bad hehe :)
Hey everyone, I've been wanting to try posting pictures for some time now but I haven't had the slightest bit of confidence until now. I know I still have a long way to go but was just hoping to get some feedback or constructive critcism on my progress. The first three are natural with no makeup and then two with makeup which is something I feel I still need a lot more practice with. I'm quite poor right now lol so I still have very little makeup or clothes for that matter. Anyways I hope I'm posting this link right...

i think the exact opposite lol that might be more of a personal esteem issue. my glasses are big and annoying so they take the attention away from me and they're something to hide behind. i used to hate how i looked without them, but im gradually starting to warm up to me
archlord, you are stunning without hormones so HRT will make you...even more stunning? I'm crap at this, but I think you catch my drift.

Lol yea I can totally feel you on both of those points. I really need to try contacts or something eventually but I'm terrible with eye stuff. You look great with or without yours, so pretty, hormones will do wonders for you I'm sure! While I'm at it same of course goes for you arch lord, everyones already said it but you are gonna be a stunner girl and I love your tat sleeve! Thank you all for your kind words too!

Sorry about the quality, it's my laptop's skyping camera. I boxed out the eyes since I'm not out to anyone yet and I don't want identifiable pictures of me in female clothes out on the internet right now.
Hi E, good luck with everything, I'm also 33 and pre everything
:) I feel I am one of the luckiest persons alive. I am older Transgender MTF Woman who has been public for just a little over a year. By that, I mean that I have continually dressed every day as my true female self.
As is everyone, I was scared to death to be seen dressed. Sure, for years and years, I had enjoyed dressing in private for myself and even my wife. Halloween was my blessed day that I could celebrate and be dressed as I truly felt anywhere and everywhere.
I started HRT just 10 months ago. I was so happy! I was finally taking action to be me. I was also lucky in that for me the Estrogen and the Finasteride began causing physical changes early.
I now have wider hips, a nicer butt, developing breasts, softening skin, and even some facial changes.
Here's what happened 4 days ago that makes me so happy. I was at a Walmart to cash a small check. When I got to the clerk and presented the check and my I.D.(not changed yet), the clerk said Maam, I can't cash it because "James" was the only person who could cash the check. I explained that I am transgender. She called over another clerk and both of them were really unsure. They finally said that with all of my other I.D. they would cash the check.
Then both of them asked me how many years I have been transitioning. Both said they could hardly believe that I was "once a man." They said they were amazed at meeting such an attractive woman who wasn't always one. I reminded them that to me, "I have always been a female. Now everyone can see that in me."

You Pass
Looking good :)
Nice yenneffer :)
I'm 18 months into HRT and I don't pass as good as you do, Jennifer.
I want to share pictures of my transitioning, but can't figure out how to do it. I can't even figure out how to post a pic for this site.
Unless someone is so kind as to help, I think I will just wander around until I find it.

Since you learned how to post pictures, perhaps you would give me advice. I can't figure it out.

You can use an image uploader such as Imgur to upload your picture from your computer. You can then right click the image and paste the image url in a post and put [img'] [/img'] around it (without the ' ) for it to show up.
Hope your transition is going well so far!
I recently had the chance on a trip to not only dress up but also have a makeover and shoot done! After the shoot I opted to go out for a few drinks and spent the next day entirely en-femme. I have no idea if I passed. I was in Japan, so i'm not sure if people were being excruciatingly nice, or that they're just used to a little weirdness in the areas I was shopping in.
During the day, I got new glasses & new hair! I want to know what you guys think for the styles and if I passed... I'm pre-everything btw. Previous advice i've gotten has been to hide my brow, which i've attempted to do with my hair. Although I could probably do some better contouring too. I'm planning to get laser & my ears pierced soon, but if there's anything else I can do to easily improve...please let me know!
This is me the night before after the shoot. I only had short hair on me at the time, and this outfit. Makeup was done profesionally

I vote for the short hair. The long hair draws your face out where as the short hair rounds it out. I think in short hair you pass well

I think you pass the best with the short hair since it compliments your face really well. You have a nice sense of fashion and you're so brave to go out shopping en-femme for an entire day in Japan!
As for tips, I think the hair choices you had were a bit too light a shade if you're going for a more natural look. I think a darker brown/black hair color would look really well, especially with those glasses because the darker hair would make your pretty glasses stand out more, bringing attention to your eyes and not the brows. Your eyebrows could really benefit if you styled and thinned them out a bit. It could make a significant difference! There is no need to hide them with bangs.
Overall, I think you look really kawaii and are doing wonderful especially since you're still pre-everything. Hope Japan was amazing! I'm jelly lol ^^
wow thank you! Yeah I didnt have time to get my eyebrows how i normally like them. I use an eyebrow shaver instead of plucking so they grow back really fast (I get so many pimples if I pluck :( and it still grows back quickly!)
What did you think of the red hair? And which glasses did you prefer? The blue or the pink?
Here are some pictures from the shoot, I think the brown hair I used here suits me best, but when I went out and bought it I had it styled in the same way and it..may have been overkill for use in the day xD. I also included the red hair I used in the shoot, but I wasnt able to get the same shade...but I loved the style so i settled for a lighter shade.
All in all which are your favorite pics from the last set, so I can skew more in that direction in the future?
(i'm including these for reference, but I feel like the makeup, clothes and lighting are too good to be considered pegs for every day kinda stuff...but I did learn a lot!)
P.s. sorry for rambling, i'm ocd about achieving the best i can before any transition stuff but i'm also insanely insecure about appearing femenine >.<)

and yeah - one of the benefits of living in Asia is that...Japan isnt too far away...I just wish I had more chances to go, its so amazing! (and expensive!!! >.<)

Thanks! thats what I thought, but i sometimes opt for longer hair because it helps hide my shoulders.
Which short hair did you like? The first pic? or the red hair at the bottom?

You are quite beautiful. Very natural looking. :)
The results are very good. What form of HRT are you on? Over here in the U.K we only get prescribed pills like estrodiol valerate or patches which I don't think are very effective? I believe over there you can get shots? what are the shots called (brand names etc)?
I'm visiting my mom in Florida this week and she wanted to do a makeover on me and here are the results:

Punzie, Thanks for the advice. I will try that tomorrow.

@Sydney_NYC. You look beautiful and I'm sure it's not just the makeover. You must have gotten a lot from your mom. Not just good genes but love. A hug for both of you.

Thank you. My mom had been one of my biggest supporters and we do look a lot a like. She is 67 but looks like she is in her early 50's. I posted that picture on Facebook and everyone in my family couldn't believe how much I look like my mother. One of my conservative aunts was blown away by it and gave wonderful compliments.
Wellllllll here goes nothing. Me at work in "boy mode". A little over 6 weeks HRT.

I'm reopening but anymore uncalled for unsupportive posts will result in this thread being possibly locked permanently. This thread is here for you to help each other. Trying to be helpful and give construct help is a good thing but then calling posts that are supportive not nice won't and isn't executable behavior.

Frae you look passable already, but more time on HRT will do wonders for you. Hugs

19 years old pre everything, what do you think ? :)
You're a lovely young lady. However, I'd have put you in the 14 to 15 year range... you're very convincing.
Very nice Jade. HRT will make you stunning. You actually already look like one of my cute cis female friends.

I'm also 19 and pre-everything but you look a thousand times better than I do!! :) In fact you look like you're already transitioning or even cis :P
Lovely picture Jade. HRT should do wonderful things for you. Hugs

Jade, you are VERY pretty.
Yup completely jealous.
I second that emotion!

Allright! i'm back with some more requests for advice:
1. Tried being a little creative with makeup today... not sure it worked
2. Getting my first laser hair removal next week! In my opinion I think chin & upper lip should be the first to go...would you agree?
3. I'm not sure either hair is working for me...not sure whats going on with me today if i'm having a bad face day...if its my outfit? the makeup? But I felt these two hairs looked best...and i'm still not happy. I'm pretty sure number 2 looks like a blatant wig...i'm hoping the first (red one) looks more realistic but its not looking right today...does it elongate my face too much?
Anywho here are the pics for reference!

Hello Beautiful,
Amazing pics by the way and I can see a lot of potential in you since you really have a good base to start on. However, this is just my opinion - may I suggest that you pick a more of a natural colour that will suit your skin tone if your goal is to blend in and not create any attention. However, if your goal is to be out and be fab - that's ok too :)
I just think the more natural looking your weave is, the more you'll see a glimpse of what you would look like during your transition phase. May I also suggest a side bang instead of the usual bangs as it covers your pretty face.
At the end of the day, these are just my suggestions and you just keep being you coz either way it looks good.
Stay beautiful!
April
P.S. Make up looks great xo

Hi April! Thanks for your advice! The red hairs wig weave is really good quality. I had a shoot recently with a deeper red and I just loved it. I understand it might draw attention but I see lots of dark women dying their hair red and I love it. I'm hoping once I do laser I'll be passable enough that drawing a bit of attention won't matter, and hopefully less so once I take more steps
I hope transition will be smooth.I just decided I think i want hrt, want to speak to a psychologist first tho as I have many socio economic factors that will be affected :(
I'm not sure about the weave of the second wig.
What do you think about the laser hair tho? Chin and upper lip first?

Thanks everyone for all the compliments ! It gives me so much confidence ! You're all great ;)

Jade, get on HRT asap girl!!! You don't want to lose that beauty you're rocking!!!
Yoko, I think the only thing that my eyes are drawn to is the wigs. Do you have really short natural hair? MPB? If you can go natural, I would suggest it, otherwise looking great :D
could I pass as a ciswoman or is there a mysthic translayer on me?

Honestly? Your jawline is a flag to me.. But you are asking a bunch of people who could find the masculine in any women. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep building your style and skills and you'll be just fine!
im still getting clocked regularly but im starting to feel pretty good about myself i think

Clocked?
They just wish they could be fabulous like you ;P
Overall you look great. I wonder if the clothing or something is what is resulting in the clocking for you. I wouldn't think you would have issues though because you do look great. Hugs

Regardless of if you get clocked or not you look great... I wouldn't change a thing if I were you.
@gaygirl420. Lovely! Especially your eyes. Great hairstyle for your face.
Dori.
thanks yall ! to clarify, ppl dont generally gender me incorrectly (they always call me she), but sometimes i come out to ppl and they say they "could tell". and recently i was walking to the bus having just gotten out of the shower w wet hair and no makeup and someone asked me if i "converted" (aka asked if i was trans).
i think this is mostly because of my biggerish shoulders and height (im 5'10"). but i still feel like im pretty !
Quote from: gaygirl420 on October 18, 2015, 12:41:31 AM

Could be other things... voice, mannerisms etc.
I don't get clocked and I don't look as femme as some of you.
ive been over this with ppl and its not my voice, pretty sure its my height, my shoulders, my face (my selfies are probably a lot more flattering than real life) and my short hair. i like the way i look so im not too worried about it but i wouldnt mind passing better. i mean there are a lot of people who "had no idea i was trans", i think its mostly bc i live in a college town in california with lots of queer and trans people in it so theres a lot more visibility here.
btw when im saying im getting clocked, i mean that people dont consider me cis, not that they call me a man. nobody really does that
also yeah i dont wear dresses or skirts or anything, my outfits are mostly tshirts with the sleeves and necks cut off and tank tops, i dress kind of androgynous femme. i dont really feel comfortable in hyper feminine clothing

Exactly, most people are respectful enough to address a trans person as their chosen gender even if they can tell we are trans, so unless we encounter an ignorant rude person it can be hard to know for sure if we legitimately pass, because people who clock us use discretion when they are checking us out. Anyway, you look great gaygirl just keep being you. :)

You look great. I'm a photographer it's not your selfies ...YOU look great...
Kate makes a good point, passing is much more than appearance like many have said, people pick up on body language, speech patterns. It sounds a little trite but if you are comfortable you make those around you comfortable. A TG or person with relationships with TG's can spot/clock you much easier but most will respect your presented gender. I went to the MAC to get some lessons on makeup and this completely tatted cis girl clocked me. She had several TG customers that come in and was used to reading the subtle clues.
My cis x-wife used to get mis-gendered since she was 6'1" and wore masculine clothes and had a low alto voice. It wasn't often but I guess it just shows how bad people are at reading visual indicators.
I lived near were you are talking about and folks their saw enough to develop an ability to pick up on different LGBT markers in their daily dealings with people. Maybe going to an area with a less aware population, and see if the same happens or it's just were you are.
Hugs :)
I often think people would rather make a mistake calling someone trans who isn't than somehow 'miss' someone who is. I think that's part of why you hear so many stories of people coming out to co-workers and having them say that they knew. I'm not sure why that is. Ego? Fear? I really don't know.
Dori.
Great cheekbones by the way. I love them! I've none.
Dori.
I just love your (slightly) flamboyant style! I would seriously love to be able to rock the same! But I'd never look as good for sure! Heads will inevitably turn and with more frequent and persistent gazes you are bound to get some questioning looks. But let's be clear, even cis-women would attract attention were they to present like you do. Small price to pay to be absolutely stunning!

If someone has a really prominent brow and large sloping forehead it is more easily seen from the profile, so you don't see a lot of profile pictures in this thread, but you have a very flattering profile. :)
Haven't posted here in a long while. I haven't really put in the effort in the past couple of years.... The anxiety and everything else seemed to try and push me backwards... I'm at a point now where I'm ready to just go for it. I'm not gonna be worried about what people think, I'm not going to be worried about being seen as weird or whatever. It's not worth not being who I want to be. So this is me:
STILL pre everything, save for growing out my hair. I'm not considering myself transgender per say, but nonbinary or "genderfluid" at the very least. I'm aspiring to at least look androgynous, but I feel like it's hard coming from my starting point. (6"1', 245lb, hairy gorilla sized dude with big hands and size 14 mens shoe) but... I digress

Thank you for the concern, but in this instance I'm not bothered by it. I suppose my case is a tad different as I'm not going from male to female, I see it almost as "less masculine to more feminine"
I still have days where I feel absolutely comfortable as male, and days I want to peel my face off because I'm uncomfortable in my body.
I'm glad some find my boy mode appealing lol
I agree it's not very useful (because who cares) but I think it does no harm.
I always thought I was quite attractive when I was a man (my wife agrees ;D ) but well, it's not like it will change anything right now. ;)

It's
very useful because a good looking male transitions into a good looking female almost without fail.
We both agree, however, that it was a harmless, non-malicious comment ;D

Haven't posted here in a long while. I haven't really put in the effort in the past couple of years.... The anxiety and everything else seemed to try and push me backwards... I'm at a point now where I'm ready to just go for it. I'm not gonna be worried about what people think, I'm not going to be worried about being seen as weird or whatever. It's not worth not being who I want to be. So this is me:
STILL pre everything, save for growing out my hair. I'm not considering myself transgender per say, but nonbinary or "genderfluid" at the very least. I'm aspiring to at least look androgynous, but I feel like it's hard coming from my starting point. (6"1', 245lb, hairy gorilla sized dude with big hands and size 14 mens shoe) but... I digress
Have some pictures!

O.m.g. My dream partner! Lol. I don't think you'd have a bit of trouble as either.
I haven't really done anything. I'm a little nervous trying to start portraying myself as female before I've even started anything. That said, I do want to pick up makeup and stuff, maybe go out as a girl for halloween. Just, since I'm so new to all this, it's hard to find where to start. That said though, here's the canvas in which I'll get to try to sculpt a pretty girl from, after I lose a liiittle weight though

Ok so please be gentle. Here's me in male mode, pre-everything. I've always had my doubts and wish I had a pic with a wig and make up but that's just not in the cards right now.

Really?? ;D
I stopped HRT a while ago for an attempt at banking sperm (found out i'm infertile since birth), but started back back 2 months ago. Here's my one and a half month picture at work before putting my hair up. How am I doing so far? Also I straightened my hair because my hair can be unruly.

Couldn't figure out how to put the images directly into my post. ???
Okay, so I mustered up the courage to post an image of myself in regular boymode:

Do you think HRT will do good things for me? I like to think I can kind of pull of a androgynous look in my current state. This picture was taken towards the end of last year. I've lost a little more weight since then.
Hi everyone!
Haven't posted in awhile, but I've still been lurking. I really need some help figuring out if I could possibly pass. I usually am wearing androgynous clothing out but tend to dress feminine at home, but I just lack the courage to go out for some reason. I try to push myself but I'm just having trouble getting over it! Please let me know how I am doing and if there is anything I can do to work on myself.
Still going to work in boy mode, but this is pretty much what I look like, but I'd be in different clothes.
I am wearing basically no makeup - besides a tiny bit of eyeliner. I've had like 13 laser sessions - 12 IPL, 1 genuine laser session & 6 Months of HRT.

Nobody can say for sure what HRT will do, but you have a good starting point!

You really think so? I'm obviously super nervous and paranoid, so your comment means a lot to me! I can't wait to start transitioning some day... The wait is driving me absolutely crazy.
Wow girls. you all look amazing. Sarah! we have a very similar style!! and also, you have beautiful arms, I wouldn't worry in the slightest if I were you :)
Question: How do I put a pic up?
Galyo, you call this "boy mode"? Seriously?
Are you sure you are not just another one of those cis-female trolls posing as MtF to make us feel bad?
Deinewelt, I am having a bit of trouble seeing any 'guy' there.
About the only advice, I'm not sure the khaki top works with your complexion and hair. Sorry. :) Deeper hues of warm colours like red, purple would work well I think. Or just black.
When you're ready for full time, I doubt you'll have any issues at all judging from what I see.

Back then I had my hair dyed cherry red. I think I might do that again in the future because it turned out pretty well I think! :o

Long time lurker here (10 years). I'm almost 13 months on hrt, yet I'm still in boymode 100% of the time. I have zero confidence, that when the time comes (dressing in public), that I won't pass. Here's a few pics of me(last two in makeup). What do you guys think? (Besides getting in some girl clothes, what do I need to work on to pass?)

I agree completely
I concur! With such facial features, I don't see how you could get gendered as a boy.

Hi Tmh88,
I think you have a lot of potential. With a little laser and/or electrolysis, your face would look a lot more feminine.
Take care,

Love the outfits!
Referring to the first picture here. I think you would pass a lot more if you got a shorter wig! If you look at most cis-women in public, a lot of them don't really have hair that long! Long haired females often draw attention from others in general; your goal is to blend in with other females. A length just a little bit past your shoulders should be long and feminine enough! :)
Like I think you look most passable in your avatar/very last pic. It is probably because your hair looks a lot shorter there.
Good luck darling!

Thanks so much for the input Roni! I agree with you about the wig from the first two photos (style and length is too much), it was my first one and a friend purchased it for me (and the dress as well, but I'm really digging it :P). The wig in my avatar pic is the one I have since picked out on my own and plan on wearing. On top of the reasons you mentioned, I think its more 'me' anyways :) Thanks again!

Yay!! Yes I really like your profile pic and the wig you're wearing in it! :) I'm not typically one to wear dresses myself---I'm so glad you have the confidence to rock one though! Get it girl!

I don't see any guy in the picture. Dressing in public doesn't mean dressing up in mini skirt. Try going out in a simple straight cut jeans and some nice andro top w/ cardigan. I swear no one will mis-gender you :)

This is true. I drew a lot more attention and got clocked a lot more when I walked around in public in overly-feminine outfits. For those looking to pass, try and dress up like most other women, in skinny jeans and a blouse/tshirt, and you will get clocked a lot less. Cis-women don't walk around town wearing dresses, skirts, and pantyhose unless they are looking for unwanted attention. Even if you DO get clocked still, you will probably be treated with more respect and kindness than if you had been wearing a mini-skirt. You don't come off as "trying too hard" and people will appreciate that a lot more.
This pic of me was taken accidentally, so it's a pretty natural pose as a result.

I seem to pass, but fairly inconsistently. Maybe I do pass a bit more than not, but I'm not making it easier for myself by being so butch. Posted here for a reality check. Maybe I'm just imagining this passing business?

Aww thank you :D I sort of worry about my face being too big and being 6 foot tall! lol.
I'm working hard on my voice, but I had a camera put down my throat to see why my pitch control and volume weren't great, and they found that one of my vocal cords is damaged (it has like bits missing) and the other one has to compensate which really affects my pitch range :( apparently it can happen with some viral infections.. I'm still trying my best though :) I might look at some surgery eventually.

This pic of me was taken accidentally, so it's a pretty natural pose as a result.

I seem to pass, but fairly inconsistently. Maybe I do pass a bit more than not, but I'm not making it easier for myself by being so butch. Posted here for a reality check. Maybe I'm just imagining this passing business?
You definitely pass to me at first sight, but upon closer inspection I can see why *maybe* there are inconsistencies with your passing. But if I hadn't known you were trans, I would definitely gender you female in public. :)

Aww thank you :D I sort of worry about my face being too big and being 6 foot tall! lol.
I'm also 6 foot tall, I think. I'm 1.88 meter. I notice more and more women in public that are around my length, which is comforting to see. Although I do understand your worries.

Hem. Honnestly ? Can't see anything other than a girl in boy's clothes.
I bet you're getting gendered female all day long, ain't you ? ^^"
Honestly I'm not. That's why I'm asking. I have friends that were being gendered female in boymode at like 6 months on hrt, yet I haven't and it scares me. I'm the odd one out of the group and I don't want to be the one that looks obviously trans. :'(

I don't see any guy in the picture. Dressing in public doesn't mean dressing up in mini skirt. Try going out in a simple straight cut jeans and some nice andro top w/ cardigan. I swear no one will mis-gender you :)
Stay beautiful xo
I get that. In not really into skirts or anything that girly but even in more androgynous clothes, I still don't think I'll get gendered female, but I'm willing to try it :angel:
Heyyyyy, I'm living fulltime now, haven't had a first doctor visit yet, but what do you gals think? The hair is a wig btw, until my natural hair grows a bit more

It's weird because you've entered the image links and everything correctly.. You can always "preview" posts before posting to see if links work! That's what I do!
my everyday look. --zero glamour, but it's efficient. To work out / tidy my flat, at least. haha.

ps, are we allowed to post tasteful underwear shots? I'm kinda proud of a couple of them :p
Sorry but nude and underwear are not permitted. Standard outerwear and swim suits are permitted. The line is drawn if you can wear it in public, it is permitted. If you wear it in private, it's not permitted.

I fixed your links. The problem is you can't use the page, you have to use the picture. Move the pointer over the picture and right click, select copy link and place that between the bracketed images. You can quote my post to see how this was done.

Ohhhh thanks, got it now. I was trying to do it on my phone.
KathlynBG, I think hormones will do great things for you. The curse of gaining weigh many be a blessing because softness/fat in your face should redistribute in a more feminine direction. I was all skin and bone so I didn't have much fat to shift. As far as hair, I would stay away from long hair and go with chin to shoulder length hair. Cover about half your forehead to shorten your face, You can do that by pulling hair off to the side or with bangs. I can't wait to see you after 6 months to a year on HRT.
As for passing, you haven't see my before pictures. One of these days I may work up the nerves to post them here.
Rachel, your coming along nicely. Your link for whatever didn't show anything so for the moment I have put it between the url option so the link could at least show up so others can see the picture. Hugs
Mariah

Thank you! I hope what you say is true. It's hard to tell from the pictures but I'm in the process of growing my hair out a bit and I'm going for the "pulling hair off to the side" look, though I absolutely adore the thought of bangs.
Well I'm starting to get better at doing my makeup. Less is more is my latest discovery and I'm lacking eyeliner and mascara in this shot but I think it looks quite nice. I'm still pre-everything and have a loooong way to go but I'm starting to become more comfortable with my feminine look.
Just waiting on that referral letter now! Bring on the estrogen :-D

IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIISTMAS :D
estrogen can do wonders
So, not trying to sound needy or anything but, by the lack of response from the pic I posted a few pages back am I to assume I stand no chance at passing? Thanks
Sorry hun, I had to go back a few pages but just seen your pic! Course you pass! Well, I think so anyway, looking great for your second time with makeup. I think in my second time with makeup I had lipstick on my nose and mascara on my forehead lol xx

Chrissy you look lovely! Honestly. I think anyone here would be proud to be seen with you. You much more than pass! A+! You should feel confident. There are so many lovely ladies posting here, if you don't look at the thread frequently, you miss so much.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :D I went back and saw your pic, It's a great job for a first time with makeup! It's really quite the learning curve to actually learn the steps behind it. Keep going and you'll only get better and better! Always always always experiment with new shadows and stuff, it's so much fun to see the end result of different combinations!

Here's me in boy mode (as of early October):

It's funny - when I look in the mirror, sometimes I think I could really pass. But then I take a photo and it looks completely unfeminine.
Update: here's a newer picture of me:

No makeup, just my normal, everyday hairstyle. Usually, though, it ends of poofing out halfway through the day.

Ok I think I got this posting pics directly to my post thing down now. This is me, boy-mode, pre-HRT, post-losing 100 lbs. Not sure if I have any hope of ever passing.

Edit - maybe I don't have it down. Sheesh.
But of course you can totally pass hun! your facial bone structure is round ish and refined. You will have no problems passing at all!
Thank you clarabrown! So much! Having an emotional weekend of conflict with my dysphoria and new addition to my family. You have no idea how well timed your comment was.
I think you're pretty cute myself, though you didn't ask.
Awww thank you! Every woman loves to be told they look pretty, so compliment accepted. Hahaha. x

Pretty sure this is the first time I have posted a picture on the site! Anyways, would love for any and all feedback. This is pre everything @ 27... Hoping to start HRT in the next few months. All of these were from the very first time I wore makeup, about a month ago - it was more difficult than I thought, lol! But in the end I was happy with the results, and it was the first time I ever looked in the mirror and liked the reflection. Some things I discovered...
- need to get rid of the beard asap. I have thick hair and a fair amount of it, and of course it is dark too! Appt tomorrow for laser quote.
- Must learn how to not get a caked or shiny look. I think the beard being removed will help alot since I need to use so dang much to cover.
- Colored lip balm looks great on the lips, but sucks as a red coloring to conceal shadow. oops!
The obligatory 'angle' selfie:

You're pretty convincing already. Even without the "magic angle". I'd walk right by you on the street! And wow, what a smile!
Looking good for a first effort Kelsey. HRT will work wonders for you. Work on the hair removal while it's still dark and you can do laser. I think it will be faster and cheaper than electrolysis. I also love the smile. I think that smiling helps so much in passing publicly.

Thank you! Yeah, I hope my body and face reacts well to the HRT. Would be nice to knock some of the rough edges off. Honestly I am most worried about the voice aspect..
I am hoping to go a year or so without 'coming out' to most folks so plenty of time to start practicing all of the components that make it possible to 'blend' or 'pass'. Plan on talking to the wife soon, and will probably leave it at that as far as sharing with anyone else I know, unless there is compelling reasons otherwise. After talking to her (for better or worse) I will be able to have more freedom to learn, practice, and be me as much as possible. Very much looking forward to venturing out into the world and feeling comfortable in my own skin.
Good luck Kelsey.
You look really good Kelsey, hormones are going to be very kind to you.

WOW! I would not think twice if I passed you in public. Beautiful smile.
Indeed you look great :)
Decided to take another pic today, but this time without the wig and a little more smile. Lighting is atrocious (f you winter) and My camera is pretty bad, but hey here it is :)

everyone is looking marvelous
So, when I was visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I discovered my phone's selfie-function by accident, so I mustered up all my courage and took a few snapshots. I really dislike seeing myself, but I'm curious to see how I look naturally and to see what works in my favor being feminine.
I'm also looking to do a hair transplant in the nearest future. You can't see it very well in the pictures, but I have a large forehead and mad Vegeta-fringes... XD I already had a counseling appointment at a specialized hair clinic, which made me very hopeful. Now I just need the money!

Bonus points for posing with The Nightwatch... Or something? XD Yeah, I'm an art-geek...
Still pre-everything, boy-mode, 29 yo.
I hope hormones will work their magic well on me, but only time will tell...

I think a shorter and a bit fuller hairstyle would work better and your voice should pass the telephone test. The pitch is good and you have enough inflection along with the faster feminine delivery rate. You have a good start.

100% female. You have the look nailed.
Edit I didn't see the voice link. A lower feminine voice but still clearly in the feminine range. The inflection and speech pattern is feminine so it would pass the telephone test.
Thanks Dena and Mariah :) xoxo hugs

So, when I was visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I discovered my phone's selfie-function by accident, so I mustered up all my courage and took a few snapshots. I really dislike seeing myself, but I'm curious to see how I look naturally and to see what works in my favor being feminine.
I'm also looking to do a hair transplant in the nearest future. You can't see it very well in the pictures, but I have a large forehead and mad Vegeta-fringes... XD I already had a counseling appointment at a specialized hair clinic, which made me very hopeful. Now I just need the money!

Bonus points for posing with The Nightwatch... Or something? XD Yeah, I'm an art-geek...
Still pre-everything, boy-mode, 29 yo.
I hope hormones will work their magic well on me, but only time will tell...
I know I typed up a reply I don't know why it didn't show. Anyway, you DEFINETLY could pass I see alot of fem in your face. I am just getting started so I still have tons to learn but I think you could pass easily
Hi Galyo,
I think you have a good base to work on. However, it is hard to tell at this point how far or how much HRT can do for you since your mileage may vary from one girl to another.
However, keep doing all the prep work until the day comes when you start taking hormones. I will not claim it will solve passability from there on. Your mannerisms, appearance, clothing and the over all aura will dictate how you'll blend in.
Stay beautiful
April

Seeing you are still in boy mode, there is a lot of work to do. I suggest you stay away from long hair and have a cut with bangs or pulled across your forehead to reduce the length of your face. Makeup will also define your face better because things like your eyebrows and cheeks need to be enhanced. I think you might be able to make it work without relying much on what HRT will or won't do.
Well i didnt thought ill post pictures here again.
When i look myself in the mirror i'm okay and well i do pass in my everyday life.
What scare me is pictures, i always see all my masculines features ( facial ones especially). I would like some opinions.
I took it this morning at break, im a bit hangover and without make up so i think its a good moment to have some real opinions.

For me you pass amazingly good. You look cis. Not enough with that, you remind me a bit about a teacher that works at my school. She's cisgender. You're pretty as well.

As others have said, you look beautiful hun! Can't see any hint of anything but a cis girl :) x
Well, thanks to all. I have a photo shoot soon and I was a bit stressed but your comments has set me back on positive mode.
yeah i agree with everyone else your a cuttie
Yeah, you can definitely pass. At first glance I thought that was a female relative and started looking around in the background for someone else - you look amazing!

To be honest, you're not passing yet. Your body and face are broad. I would recommend you to lose weight. That would slim your body and face. Losing weight is smart to do before HRT. After losing weight and beginning at HRT, it's not so much more to do. Maybe a more feminine haircut, clothes and makeup would help a bit. It's a bit hope and HRT can do wonder. But HRT works difference at people and it's not a miracle pill. It hasn't the same powerful effect as T either. The truth may hurt. But since you wished us to be honest, we're going to be honest.
Losing weight helps AND is healthier for you, but women come in all shapes and sizes. This is how I look now.

I like your wig :) this black makes you look really cute. Hope your therapy went well.
It did, i got referred to an endo for HRT :D That appointment is Next Tuesday!
@liz: I LOVE your style!!! OMG! Definitely pass too!
I wanna inquire here on my "passability."
First body. I got new pants today. :D

And now face and just presentation!
I really don't think I "Pass" in the normal sense. But I'll leave that up to you guys.
I've hit a phase where I'm just like "F*** it, I'll wear what I want" and I haven't been freaking out of worrying about others compared to in the past. I am what you see, this is me, I exist.

So passing in a sense doesn't really stick to me. I internally feel my face still does not pass but I'm at the point of not caring, because my greatest strength comes from my body and style expression like clothes, hats etc. I am DEFINITELY female shaped too body wise. XD
But I wanna ask all of you if I still "pass" facially?

Your body has progressed nicely, and your skin has too but facially I believe you'll probably need some FFS to truly pass.
If I may make one suggestion tho: Go to a hair stylist sometime and get back here with the results :P I can't lie; your hair in most of your pics is usually a mess and with proper attention, it'll help on the passing front.

Yes. The blonde is a T girl.

Am I really not that passable? Nah I know it's obvious I'm trans and Laura is Cis :) thanks though xx
Honestly, if I didn't know one of you was trans, my assumption would have been that you both were cis. Having to guess one or the other brings a different level of scrutiny to it. You're honestly pretty cute to me.

My big chin/jaw issue has improved but I don't understand why unless there is far more muscles/fat in the face than I thought that can be affected by HRT. I'm far more comfortable now but I never have any way of knowing if I'm passing or if people are just being nice. I'm sure I'm not passing as in "all the time" but there are times where I'm not so sure. My wife is unable to be objective with me (I totally get that) since she knows me and sees me as a woman, anyway.
I don't know what I'm asking for, really. I think I just feel like I should document my progress and be a part of the Susan's team, hah!
I've been feeling a little more confident to share pics now hehehe
This is me just now, this sweater, which I was waiting for the longest time, just arrived in the mail so I had to try it on. hehe :D

OK, I guess I'm ready to ask. I'm 10 weeks into HRT. I know I've got work to do, lose weight, get the eyebrows done. But I've been out a few times. So, do I pass?

I know you don't know me, but I don't sugar coat things period. I feel as if we won't get any better if we are not honest with each other, because in the end that is what we are all here for.
So when I say you pass please believe that! I would not think twice if I passed you in public.
Ok, let me try again, am I passing now??

Thanks guys, had a bit of a bad day yesterday being misgendered for the first time in years while I was out wearing this outfit. I dunno, I thought after all this time and effort to feminise and feminise my voice etc that I wouldn't get that anymore. They've put me on new hormones too, doesn't help! Xx

I think maybe the problem is your eyebrows, as they seem rather masculine. But if you're presenting as female full-time, it shouldn't be a problem to either pluck your eyebrows or have someone else help you do so. Hope this helps!
I agree with ThaliaNyx: it's the eyebrows mainly. In combination with the hair color they really stand out.

I don't have the heart to tell a girl: you don't pass. Or: you really look like a tg/cd. Truth is: Only very few trans girls can pass as cis-females. You definitely have a lot of potential. Perhaps what you could do is to focus on blending in. Maybe a new hairstyle/makeup/clothing style will be more suitable for that purpose. Big hugs x I can imagine how hard that situation could have been.
Like I said, perhaps sometimes its better to avoid situations like that by blending in instead of trying to pass as a cis woman.

My hair is dyed I know, the eyebrows are drawn that colour because after years of over plucking my eyebrows they're a little thin. I've not long started to pluck them again so they are quite red under there so it covers them up. I don't care about not passing really; I'm happy with my look after 5 years of HRT on quite a low dose and I keep thinking about upping it but I don't want to mess with my level mood after spending life getting here.
I'm not a cis girl, I don't want to look like a cis girl. I want to look like me and I'm happy with that. I have to remember I started out in life with poor eyesight and I'm almost totally deaf so I had big jam jar glasses and over ear hearing aids. I haven't done too badly I don't think but it's a lifelong change and ever after all this time I'm still changing.
I dunno, it just got me a little that I was given a male pronoun when it's clear how I'm presenting and I have a feminine voice etc. Never mind, I'll get over it in the end xx
Quote from: Dena on November 15, 2015, 08:06:11 PM
Seeing you are still in boy mode, there is a lot of work to do. I suggest you stay away from long hair and have a cut with bangs or pulled across your forehead to reduce the length of your face. Makeup will also define your face better because things like your eyebrows and cheeks need to be enhanced. I think you might be able to make it work without relying much on what HRT will or won't do.
I haven't had any internet-time since I moved places... x_x
I have had long hair (chest length) for about 5 years, but I'm not going for that. I think a mid-length (around nose length I suppose) would perhaps work. People already adress me as female in public sometimes, which always fills me with joy. :P

You can pass very good. Nobody would know by your look. Often people with Asian or some few Africans genes pass very well. I don't know why. Some people just pass very good. I don't know if 'races' has something to do. I have seen a lot of Asian MTF that look cis.
howdy yall. havent been on this site in a long time
thought i'd come back and ask how im doing. still pre hrt. and i gotta get them brows done i know :P

Yes. It is possible. If the ancient people in Asia or a few African regions had been more tolerant of transgender people, transgender people could have survived better than in other regions of the world, preserving better the possible transgender genes through the evolutionary process. But, I am not quite sure whether transgenderism is inherited genetically. Some history books imply that ancient people were far more open-minded to the gender minority in B.C. 57– A.D. 935. For example: https://www.boywiki.org/en/Homosexuality_in_Ancient_and_Modern_Korea

The makeup blending at your cheeks is nice. But you doesn't pass yet. I'm honest with you now and don't want to lie. Your jawline and head shape is a bit masculine. Your Adam's apple is a bit visible too. HRT can help you bit. Makeup etc. methods may help you too. The makeup is a good start. :)

Oh, you did the same mistake I did the first time I tried a wig !
My head proportions are similar to yours, I have a face that is bigger than the rest of my head. You should increase the volume of your wig, it will make your face (and the rest of your body) look a lot smaller. I would also change the hair color to a darker shade, it will make contouring a lot easier and thus make your face look smaller again.

As I posted on another thread- why would you seek your answer by posting a picture on this website. The real answer will come when you get all dolled up and go out in public. the world will quickly answer if it treats you as a woman or a man in a dress.

Short answer: Some of the girls need a little bit of positive reinforcement, encouragement, a friendly word of advice, reasurance, or just to share their pic in a safe environment :)

From one quite tall T-girl to another: I think from the photo, you shouldn't have much trouble passing. Actually, you probably pass already. Love the glasses. I have some just like them, but with darker frames.

Thank you! That was very nice and makes me feel like I fit in.
Of course you fit in! Whoa, just realised that was your first post as well.

Hi Galyo,
I think you have a good base to work on. However, it is hard to tell at this point how far or how much HRT can do for you since your mileage may vary from one girl to another.
However, keep doing all the prep work until the day comes when you start taking hormones. I will not claim it will solve passability from there on. Your mannerisms, appearance, clothing and the over all aura will dictate how you'll blend in.
Stay beautiful
April
Thanks for the advice (and sorry for the delayed reply, still no internet at my new place). When I have my own internet connection I should post a picture of myself in girl-mode.
I also dyed my hair in dark cherry red in the past. It suited me and my style pretty well I think. However, like I mentioned before I'm looking to do a hair transplant soon, so I will probably wait with dying.

You have a very good base to start from and look really good.
I've been taking lots of photos recently and just experimenting with how I could look. Still waiting for my first GIC appointment. I'm not very happy with my face, neck or shoulders but I can see some potential. What I have found is that the more I embrace my feminine side internally, the more feminine I appear to myself in the mirror. When the dysphoria kicks in though all I see is a bloke in drag! It just shows you how much of this is in our heads. When I look around me, there are so many CIS women who have masculine features. The difference is, they don't feel like they are pretending to be a woman when they get dressed in the morning! I really feel like self-confidence is the key here so hopefully you lovely internet people can help me increase mine :-D

Indeed Byaniothername, When we feel beautiful we shine, when wer angry or upset it wears heavy on ar faces an makes us look masculine. Or atleast mi aniwae. So I always try to present myself pleasantly.

Makeup, wig and a smile really help at your passing ability. At HRT it would be a lot easier to pass. But you're at a good way and as long you're smiling, you're very safe with your passing.
Thank you! It's lucky that I smile all the time :-)

I think you're not far off at all. Shoulders don't look too wide. Hips don't look too narrow. Hopefully you just need to let the hrt do it's thing.
PS, how is my latest avatar? I wanted to ask because I think I got lucky with the camera angle and it's maybe the only photo I ever took that's starting to look how I feel I should be. Sorry it's grainy.

You pass easily on most pictures :)
Most?
You look great , just the last picture in my opinion is not passing for the face . Probably only the angle, dont worry you pass
I was visiting my mom last week, and my little sister had me try on one of her latest anime wigs, and when I did she was all like "wow, you should dress up like a girl... or He-Man", lol.
So I figure that I'm somewhere in between looking like a girl, and looking like He-Man.
Am I crazy, or am I getting close to passing? No makeup or anything.

You're not passing 100% yet in my option. Maybe we all have difference option. I may think a person doesn't pass, but another person has another option. Your nose are typically masculine. But rest of your face are more feminine. At HRT it's very big chance you would easier pass. By the way, you did a very good hairstyle choice. :)
I gave you a honest reply. Hope that's ok.

How long have you been at HRT? You have some feminine features. At HRT they may developing more. :)
"How well am I doing?" You're at a good way, but you're not passing yet. Long hair may be a good solution for you. Maybe you could try out a bang or something with a bit volume. I can see your hair is wet at the picture due showering. So it's not so easy to say so something about after-showering pictures.

Second wig looks better to me hun, the first one, while nice, doesn't have the same femininity about it. Still pass either so don't worry :) x
thank you. i am thinking about getting it dyed ( it is virgin hair) with caramel blonde or one tone lighter black then second wig. Any recommendation?
I think you look good, but with thinned eyebrows I would never question your appearance. Eyebrows are very personal and if you are looking to be able to switch back and forth maybe an androgynous shape would be better.

I would say caramel blonde might be a bit light to go with your dark eyebrows? Could try a few shades lighter than the black one, will take experimentation to see what you like though.. cheap wigs are good for trying out colours easily :)
I think I allready know what I need . Black suits me well . From my experiment ,Darkest Brown is to light, jet black is to dark . The wig I am wearing in profile picture is also to dense . Based on this I ordered a 1B# color( between Darkest Brown and jet black ) wig lace front at about 120% density instead of 150% and 18 inch long . This one is with real hair too, I hope il be happy with it . Only waiting on hair for going outside
Well my profile pic is my finest wig whereas after lots a waiting this is now all my own hair, Just got to figure out how to make it styled natural hair rather than a wild mop.
Anyway how am i doing?

Oh, sorry - I meant to put in that I didn't expect to be passing yet.
Archlord, blond is definitly not for you especially not with red lipstick.
We have about the same face shape ( androgynous) so everything is pretty much about details. As of hairs, for us it's all about volume. Try to use 2 tone of concealer to darken the jaw and lighten the rest of your face. If you decide to use eyeshadow soon try to keep it pale

I usually do 6-8 weeks between laser sessions.
Btw, you're looking stunning as always.
Hi Rachel, I am surprised that you do not pass. I have seen women with more prominent jaw and nose compared to yours.
Could it be the way you move or walk that gives it away? Sometimes, it takes more than looks to be passable. You look great - just keep working on your walk, demeanor and just projecting a female aura will probably solve your problem.
Nose and Jaw can be contoured with make up :)

Hi,
I think you are on the right path. However, if you are planning on using wigs then may I suggest that you get a professional salon to give you some suggestions. They will even cut the hair and color it for you to make it natural looking.
Or let your hair grow and sport a pixie cut.

Thanks April. I have been told my mannerisms are pretty feminine so I don't think it's my movements or my walk. I feel like I pass sometimes because I do get "ma'amed" or "ladies" quite a bit (until I open my mouth) - and I haven't been "sirred" in months. I usually get gendered female when people just quickly glance at me - I just think if people looked at me more closely they'd be able to clock me pretty easily. That's why I feel like I'm close to passing yet not quite there. I am merely "glance passing" but not "inspection passing".
So how close am I with my wig on to passing.
The wig looks good on you. Being non-binary I don't believe in 'passing' so I don't comment on it.

P.S. Can tell you've been doing your squats :-)

Hi, I'm Awake and I'm new here.
As I have no social life (I'm working on that but it's pretty hard for me), it's hard for me to get any feedback.
Bodywise I think I'm fine, but there are things in my face which I don't like(especially my nose) and no matter how hard I try I can't get past this anxiety and I'm always self-conscious. I'm considering FFS or at least fixing my nose.
Also I don't know anything about makeup, which would probably help with my eye rings and nose.
So what I'm asking is: 1. Do I pass? 2. Should I gor for FFS or fixing my nose? 3. Would makeup help?

To my eyes you definitivly pass and this is without makeup!
Are you on hormones?
Even if I would own makeup I wouldn't know what to do with it ;D.
I'm ~13.5 months on hormones, but my e levels were pretty low until my dosage was increased 2 months ago.
Awake, you look adorable!
Thank you for your compliments.
I just feel somewhat lost in all this. I guess so far my transition was pretty smooth. But besides taking hormones nothing has changed. I'm too self-conscious to interact openly with other people. And yeah maybe I have transitioned socially, but I don't even know as I'm not really talking with others. Mostly I'm wearing still my old cloths, as I can't bring myself to go shopping (mirrors are really bad, I always focus on the things I hate). Maybe I have a false/broken self-image, maybe I don't. To be honest I don't know what to do anymore.

youtube is your friend ;)
search makeup tutorials and toss in transgender (but you don't need that) and shopping... simple, hit a few thrift shops, if you are too shy to try stuff on, buy what tickles your fancy and hope for the best! I just got 3 pairs of super great (and a little bit sexy) boots for 30$ :)
you are already doing great, you just need some self confidence :)

Not so sure about this one!! I'm trying out a new eyeliner and an old, less dramatic lipstick. Plus my hair needs a bit of a restyle. It's so windy here at the moment lol :) but at least we haven't got the floods like the poor people up north. Hope they're going to be all right...
You look great!
Makeup is so bloody hard i finally convinced my wife to have a girls night soon, she hates sharing lol but we dont have the extra cash for me to stock up nor do i know where to begin to slowly build my stock priority wise!
~Shan~
You look great Missy D! I think everyone in the UK is suffering from the wild hair look arm. Eyeliner is the devils work but it looks so good when its done well. My eyes have a weird tendency just to go crazy whenever the liner is near them though :-( practice practice eh?!

Hi, I'm Awake and I'm new here.
As I have no social life (I'm working on that but it's pretty hard for me), it's hard for me to get any feedback.
Bodywise I think I'm fine, but there are things in my face which I don't like(especially my nose) and no matter how hard I try I can't get past this anxiety and I'm always self-conscious. I'm considering FFS or at least fixing my nose.
Also I don't know anything about makeup, which would probably help with my eye rings and nose.
So what I'm asking is: 1. Do I pass? 2. Should I gor for FFS or fixing my nose? 3. Would makeup help?

You are a pretty young lady. I am pretty sure that most of us get nose jobs, but you already pass so you don't need one.
Decided to do a no makeup pic what do you think?

Kawaii as usual! You definitely pass.
Just asking, is there a reason why nobody replied to my post a page ago? [emoji14]
Shandril, at HRT you have a chance to pass. You have still a bit masculinity in your face. But since you're so young, it would probably be no problem. It may vanished after around a year at HRT. I recommend plucking/fixing eyebrows. That can make a person pass easier and it makes a more feminine look.

Tartarus, you have a very androgynous face. So passing wouldn't be any problems. Since you're young and androgynous, you can still control how feminine or masculine you want to appear. :)

Missy D, random people at the street would prabably not notice or think over it you're trans or not. I guess they have enough with their own tasks. You have some feminine features btw. :) But if you use too much makeup, you may drag more attention. A cis woman would drag more attention too if she used much makeup.

Awake, You do pass very well. I wouldn't know you're trans if I meet you in real life. I would think you're a cisgendered person. You doesn't need makeup to pass and you did a very good decision when it comes to haircut. It's no need to take FFS or any nosejob for passing. A cis girl in my class have similar nose as you.

Hi Emma,
Welcome to Susan's :-) I'm quite new here too. I think our face shapes are quite similar. Neither of us are passing much at the moment unfortunately :-( Love your hair though and I reckon wearing glasses which are rounder would help you out a lot!

Haven't introduced myself yet. Will do that soon but I thought I might aswell post these pictures.
Hope you guys like! :)
well let me answer :D
honestly, pic 2 & 3 (top right, bottom left) yes, the other two, not so much.
lighting? camera angle? not sure... I find pics of me are hit and miss, but video / real life I'm a bit better.
in your case, a bit of make-up may do the trick, not like insane hooker make-up like I wear lol, but a touch of something on the eyes maybe, subtle, touch of mascara, slight pencil or blurred shadow.
but you do have a pretty androgynous face (and pretty) so you are well on your way :)
xox, Candi
P.S. ok, like I said above, video seems to get me better... here is the video I just did...
I did post it in another thread, but today my mother emailed me saying she thought I was beautiful in it!
honestly I don't think I pass, but I do think I'm getting better and better :)
I know I'm a bit extreme looking, and I imagine I will be for years and years to come. just wondering what others think :)

You don't need ffs or any surgeries dear, you look fantastic. Just some makeup will do the trick. Are you looking into starting some kind of hormonal treatment? x

Thanks for all the compliments and encouraging answers. I guess I should try some makeup but tbh I don't know where to start and yt tutorials aren't really for me.
QuoteYou don't need ffs or any surgeries dear, you look fantastic. Just some makeup will do the trick. Are you looking into starting some kind of hormonal treatment? x
I'm ~ 14 months on hormones, but for the first year my e levels were pretty low (around 100) and nobody told me. My dosage was increased in October and the next checkup will be in January.
Also: I just realized how young I look on that picture :D

Thanks so much for the honest feedback - it's always nice to have it :)
I'm hoping that HRT, which I'm starting next week (can't wait ;)), will have a bit of an effect and I'm getting my bangs cut into a fringe on Thursday which should help a little too. As for the makeup there is a lot of it :-* and I usually wear more!!
I guess that's partially cultural though? Where I live, Essex, most girls are into going heavy and some even borrow contouring techniques from the drag scene. False lashes, smoky eyes, metallic eyeshadow and stuff like that counts as office wear let alone night out stuff!!! But I'd guess you come from somewhere classier?
Missy D you almost make me remember the main actress in a WONDERFUL french movie call : La fabuleu destin d'Amélie Poulin.
I have no idea if this movie exist with subtitle but this is a masterpiece of movie!
Anyway your smile is great!
A lot of you look beautiful already, its that or the fact that I like everyone. Lol. I'll post mine up soon. I think I pass but I'd want to make sure. I also like seeing other peoples pictures.
I'm starting to get annoyed with wearing wigs so have been trying out my normal hair. Needs to be grown out but I don't think the short cut is too unflattering! Still waiting for my first GIC appointment to get this ball rolling properly, but plenty of other things to work on in the meantime!

Your face is pretty slender and feminine, and I think you will have no problem especially once your natural hair has grown out. The wig of course helps you blend in tremendously; it conceals your male hairline. Good luck on your journey girly and may HRT be good to you! :)
Thank you so much! I feel much less like I'm pretending when I'm not wearing a wig. I think it will help with my confidence to be honest so no more wigs for me!

You pass better than many trans women with short hair, since you have some feminine features. But you pass better with long hair. I think it's safer and bigger chance for passing 110% with long hair. But it's not impossible to pass with short hair, but it's not very easy either. When your natural hair is growing out, you would be more passable probably.
Here are a few recents - these were what I showed my wife to sort of prepare her, and it went really well! She seems pleased with the way things have gone so far, and I have been able to present to her twice now, and she was very supportive. We have such a cool connection now... awesome to have a GG around to get tips from :) Oh, and there are no hormones happening yet, but I should be able to get my letter and meet with endo within the next month or month and a half, so that's good.

You look very pretty! I like :)
You can definitely rock a pixie :) I am a believer that if you have hair let it grow and as much as possible do not use wigs (no offense to my girls who wears it) I'm probably not comfortable using it and I think it will add more stress to my day to day life i.e. windy days, maintenance etch.

You can definitely rock a pixie :) I am a believer that if you have hair let it grow and as much as possible do not use wigs (no offense to my girls who wears it) I'm probably not comfortable using it and I think it will add more stress to my day to day life i.e. windy days, maintenance etch.
I'm disagree with the first thing you said. Short hair would be alright at her, but a pixie haircut is too short and boyish. It's nothing wrong with it. But if she want to pass 100%, I wouldn't recommend so short hair at all. She can pass with short hair as long it's not too masculine or short. Stop using wigs is a good idea if the person feel for that. Wearing them isn't so comfortable. It's up to her what she want to do.
Long hair is what I
recommend strongest anyway.
I came with that comment, so she could get more perspectives from difference people.
You girls are all so lovely! I'm feeling the love and will definitely be rocking my normal do as I grow it out. I will be growing it out as I love long hair, I just don't like wearing wigs!
Oh and Sebby you are the first person to ever refer to me using female pronouns. You have literally made my weekend!

Here are a few recents - these were what I showed my wife to sort of prepare her, and it went really well! She seems pleased with the way things have gone so far, and I have been able to present to her twice now, and she was very supportive. We have such a cool connection now... awesome to have a GG around to get tips from :) Oh, and there are no hormones happening yet, but I should be able to get my letter and meet with endo within the next month or month and a half, so that's good.

I like the 2nd and 3rd photos. The first one looks pale. I think it's the dark bangs. A slightly darker foundation may help, but all in all very nice. Coming along beautifully!
Damn, is it me or my face just upgraded in matter of days? I just noticed i have grown Full Lips, i didnt even know this was possible from HRT. Anyone else got lips growth?
This is my boy mode (the more i can look like) without any makeup and after a long day .before you ask, no i dont wear mascara and i dont have old deposit. Those are my natural lashes. :)

I can't say that I ever noticed getting bigger lips from the deal... But yes you have definitely grown a fat lip. You're blessed with a nice canvas to color in. ;)

Hi people,
I am still pre hrt, but I was managing to blend in a bit earlier in the year wearing something like this:

Since then, I've been growing my hair out and hoping I won't have to use a wig for too much longer. I got a new style last weekend. It is still way too short though:

I'm a bit worried what I look like from behind. I'm really tall (6'1") and my shoulders/arms look quite bulky compared to my hips. I guess I will have to wear long sleeves forever, even in the summer:

Anyway, I thought I'd try and get some opinions since I have kind of lost perspective on what progress I'm making at the moment and whether there is anything unfixable about me.
Have a lovely weekend!

In all honestly, even when I was younger I was always mistaken as a girl and had a ''baby'' face. Same with my brother actually.
But yeah I really appreciate it! These photos I had put a quite alot of effort into, I have experimented with short hair too an less make up, then I don't pass so well, but meh :P

I'll check them out. I'm totally loving the frames! They fit you really well.
I hear you on the short costume problem... All Models are 6', except the ones they use to model Halloween costumes. Ha ha ha... they're honestly made by and marketed to Lillyputans. ::)
Hehe so true about costumes Harley. I'm 5 foot 8 and my Alice in Wonderland costume just covers my bum :) Still seemed to make my partner happy ;D
Definitely check out Specsavers Harley, they have some really stunning glasses. I was totally spoiled for choice. I picked these one's because they reminded my of Cosima Niehaus's from Orphan Black.
Beautiful pictures Skylar.

I'll try this one more time . I posted a couple pages back but didn't get much help. Am I getting any better with my make up and passing?
I like your eyebrows and hair kinda hard to tell on makeup due to lighting but the fact i dont see smudges from your eyes to your nose places u well ahead of me!

You are super cute and I adore the glasses.
Good luck with therapy Shandril <3 I'm sure you are equal parts excited and terrified, I know I was :) Just remember they are there to serve you, not the other way round.
Hi Chrissy1! It's hard to tell all your makeup from the light, but it looks like you have nailed foundation, your skin looks flawless! Lovely neat eyebrows and beautiful hair. Looking good lady!
Awww thanks Katelyn, I really appreciate the kind words X
Makeup takes time to learn, but it can be such a wonderful experience. I'm very lucky that I'm a professional artist and makeup isn't that much different than painting, just my face is the canvas :) But I certainly still make mistakes, like getting mascara everywhere but my lashes.

I'll try this one more time . I posted a couple pages back, but didn't get much help. Am I getting any better with my make up and passing?
Now I'm going to be honest with you. You're not passing yet because your masculine features. HRT may do wonders and is the best solution. You can't do so much before HRT. But your makeup skills have improved a bit. Maybe eyebrow plucking may give you a better chance for passing. But not every female have feminine features either, even they are cis. Some people has more masculine features and it's nothing wrong with that. But it do passing harder in a so black and white society that we live in.
Moomin, you pass better with glasses imo. With them on you look really cute and attractive.
Hello, I'm new here and stumbled across this website after doing some research. I'm a male and don't consider myself transgender. I do have a pansexual ideology though. Physically I am attracted to women but emotionally I can get attracted to any gender. Though of transgenders have been happening somewhat recently. I wore eyeliner to work a few times a couple years back and really liked having it on. I sometimes get confused for a girl because of my hair and name and have been asked a few times if I'm trans because of the combination including from my education professor. They act polite about it like they don't want to offend me but it doesn't bother me at all. I have never minded being confused for a girl even though I don't think I look like one. I feel like I do look more feminine than most guys and I act like any other straight guy for the most part. Part of me has started to think about being trans or at least cross dressing but part of me doesn't want to because I've wanted to get into body building even though I haven't had much results in months of training. I have tried on a corset and girls underwear though but I thought it looked weird because I'm just shapeless because how thin I am.
Sorry if I shouldn't post backstory here but I'm new to this and relatively new to forums.
I'm just wondering if I could pass as female if I tried. I really would try make up but I still live with my parents(I'm passed drinking age) and my dad is homophobic. I don't know how the rest of my family feels on the subject though. All but a brother will be gone this Friday/Saturday though so maybe I can try some make up without worrying. Again, sorry for this long post.

I believe you have what many here would kill for (myself included) which is a very androgynous natural look.
You could perhaps pass as female now, without much! You say yourself you've been misgendered as female in the past. I believe with very very little effort, you'd pass as unmistakably female.
As to how you feel about your gender, many including myself believe that an individual's gender resides on a spectrum rather than the "either or" gender binary. You can slide around In-between them if you so feel. I consider myself a genetic male, but gender fluid. It's also worth noting that gender, physical sex, and sexuality are 3 very different and independent things that are not mutually exclusive to one another.
Welcome to the forums, I hope you find the support you need and the happiness we all strive for :D
Wow thank you for such a lovely compliment Splendid!
Searching, I'm going to agree with Mickie's comments. I think you could look very feminine very easily.
Sounds like your in a tricky situation. I was too and ended up being very hurt and have had to completely cut all contact with my homophobic/transphobic family. Whatever you do, make sure you do it as safely as possible. Have you got a friend could trust telling this too and arrange to try makeup, trying on clothes e.t.c. in private? Would your brother be cool if he walked into your room and saw you? Not saying your experience will be anything like mine, and I wish I could tell you everyone will be accepting, but that's not been my experience. You sound a lot like a 17 year old me. Hope I haven't scared you, I just don't want anyone else to go what I've been through if I can help it :) Do feel free to ask me any questions. Sending big cosmic hugs and support.
I'm moving soon and I'm going to have a studio flat just for my art. Thinking I might open it up as a safe place for people to play with their gender and help them with makeup, clothes, jewellery as well.
I don't think anyone would be comfortable seeing me in women's clothing. My brother probably is slightly homophobic. He doesn't like to talk about the topic. I was going to major in philosophy at one time because I do like to talk about ethics a lot. When I bring up lgbt rights about marriage he always just say that he's fine with them getting married but he stops at that because he doesn't want to talk about it. I would say he's okay with strangers living their lives how they want as long as they aren't around him. I also don't have friends. I have a lot of trouble making any. I've only been over to one person's house for a couple of minutes. One thing I'm planning to do after I graduate and start making money is moving out the country for a while. It's kind of a life re-evaluation thing for me. I want to spend about 2-3 years abroad to try and start all over. If it pick ups I'll stay but if it doesn't I'm coming back to the U.S.
I forgot to mention that when my parents leave this weekend they will be gone at least a week. My brother works 8h shifts as well so I should have plenty of free time. I'm actually looking forward to it.
Also, thank you for the compliments.
If that's the case, how exciting! Have fun and really go for it :) Hope you have a fab time!

Are you going for cross dressing, since you're curious at your passing ability?
Passing as female wouldn't be any problems for you. You look feminine at this picture too. You pass now, but you would pass even better with even longer hair.

Okay, I found the topic that has been weighing very heavily on my mind :/ I'm 2 mos HRT, and I go out sometimes and I feel like everyone is staring at me, as if they "Were on to me" I'm dying for some solid input, unbiased by friends that HAVE to say I'm pretty... Please tell me.. Do I pass? It's okay to be brutally honest, I'll only cry for a short time, I promise..

I don't think you're passing yet. Work on your makeup game girl. I still consider myself a newb in makeup but I can already tell that yours looks off. Especially the eyeliner. Avoid putting it on the lower eye. It looks tacky and makes your eyes appear smaller. If you haven't already, get a decent concealer, it really helps with the potmarks. Trust me, I've been there. You might want to look into chemical peels for a easy permanent salution. Check out some contouring videos on YouTube aswell, they help. Your brows also need some tinkering with too, they look off from what I can see in these pics. Maybe you might want to thin them out a bit more. Also, if that's your real hair, great, but from the pics it appears that you're wearing a wig and if so, I can tell because your hairline looks off; you might want to consider re-adjusting it. I want to add that 2 months on hrt is nothing. I would say most of the effects don't begin until after the 6th month mark.

I dislike the lighting in the first 2 pictures. It makes it difficult to see your makeup.. However, picture #3 has decent lighting. From what I can tell, your skin tone looks very even and you don't present a shadow. I don't see any shiny spots. I would say pass.
Just might look at a couple little things to help the overall look. It looked like your makeup stopped at your jawline. I'd blend more down on your neck. Thinning your eyebrows a bit. They look very neat and we'll groomed, but I think that going a bit thinner (a little goes a long way, so literally splitting hairs here). If you're looking at going out daytime, I'd only line the top lid. Evening time both upper and lower, if I was going dancing.
Those are some difficult angles and odd lighting to judge the look. Most people aren't going to look at you from high angles... most of the time lower or straight on. Make sense?
With all that being said, let me reiterate, looks great - pass.
Thank you very much for your honest opinions! Dankster, I'd be lying if I said you didn't hurt my feelings a bit lol.. But I appreciate the honesty and the tips!
My makeup skills need a lot of work.. And my eyebrows, I enhanced them using an eyebrow brush and dark brown eyeshadow.. I suppose I can do without that, since both of you have said they need thinned out.. My pitted scars.. Perhaps porefessional by benefit would help me out? I used no primer or moisturizer.. I just slapped a coat of infallible foundation on, and called it good.. I'm guessing I need a very matte finish, with a primer and a full coverage foundation/powder?
The issues I was expecting to be brought up was in fact my acne scars... and my weight.. which I'm happy to see it wasn't on the list! (I've lost 110lbs and that alone has made me feel so much more fem)
And as you said, 2 mos HRT is nothing.. So hopefully I have a lot to look forward to! I'm curious though as to what age you would say I was?
I did, however, have a small glimmer of hope lastnight though! I stopped into a gas station on the way home for a drink, and the man at the counter said Good evening, Miss. and didn't stare or laugh as I left, like I pictured the confrontation going..
Also, thank you, Harley, for your insight.. I'll work on things and try again soon.. and before I change my brows, I'll leave them as is and see if it's any better.
Brows are always a tell tale sign.. I would wait to shape them too much until you're ready for full time. They're a tell tale both ways... I'd keep it in your hip pocket so to speak. They don't grow back very quickly. Lol...
Best tip is always prime and moisturize... make it a makeup application ritual. Concealer, Primer, foundation are 3 things you'll never want to shortcut. Once your base is on, you can go as basic or dramatic as you want. But foundation is very important... If it's good everything else will look 200% better. If it's rushed... everything will look rushed. But you look great!
Tysm! I'll for sure work on it and keep you posted!
Do I pass in this picture?

Not 100%, but almost. You have some features that is feminine enough for passing. But your nose is a bit masculine. So not 100%.
Ignore that, Rachel, you're gorgeous! I would almost say heartstopping.
Yes definitely, I think having a slight mix of features work for us.
It makes us unique and beautiful.
You are rocking it Rachel :)

You look lovely Lynn, you pass and I LOVE your kitchen.
I'm just going to echo what others had said Jennilyn, just a bit more care with your makeup will do wonders. Full blacked out waterline/under eye is a really difficult look to pull off, even for Cis lasses. Your much better off using a grey eye liner and a dotted underline. Checkout this tutorial http://www.xovain.com/makeup/how-to-wear-eyeliner-on-lower-lids, it did wonders for my passing. In fact anything by Alle is worth checking out, but alas she's moved on now.
Beautiful piccie Rachel, you totally pass lady! You have the most amazing full lips, I'm dead jealous >:-)

Sorry for the late reply, its been a busy week for me. If I had to guess your age based off of your photos, I would say somewhere between 22 and 30. Sorry if I made you feel bad, I try to be honest as possible when I post in passing threads. If you're interested in some sites that could help with makeup, PM me, I know a few good ones. Also, congrats on the weight loss. That's a pretty impressive accomplishment! I wish I had the self discipline to do the same.

Yup, I think you pass without question. And it seems like the hormones are softening a bit your features comparing to your previous avatar pic.
You already look way better than the average cis female, and I'm being completely honest. So just keep things this way (always improving yourself).
Damn... in fact you look like a rival really hard to beat :D
I'm sure sooner or later guys are gonna be falling to your knees, trust me.
Very adorable Clara. Hugs

I laugh, but I laugh because you are stunning ;D
and Im surprised by the human mind and its ability to make us question ourselves ???
your pic is a little Julia, dontcha think?
So Im wanting to put a profile pic on facebook, but have concerns that old acquaintances or even family members may recognize me when Im "suggested" as friends to them by facebook...do you think the "girl" shot would be stealthy enough?
thanks ;)
Maybe having these side by side is unfair...as the before would be from your memory of me

I would never guess they at the pictures are the same person. The closest guess I would make is the people at the picture are siblings. Yes, you pass very well. So I think you would live a safe and stealth life. I wouldn't recognize you if I first saw you pre-everything and saw you again later.
Thank you for the kind words ;)

Interesting, I feel like the necklace queues me in a little. Maybe the way it contours your neck? Something about the necklace ... Idk
Otherwise, I would not know that was the same person. Female mode is a bit blurry, so that helps obscurity I think.
Interesting :)

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL...
It is very interesting the way we see ourselves and the way others see us. In the mirror your image is flipped, it is not what others see. Most people do not like the way they look in pictures and I think this is why, they are seeing the flipped image they are not used to. Some front facing cameras flip the image like a mirror and can give you a deceiving idea of what you look like. Here I post 3 images, on the left I am flipped, the way I see me in the mirror. Middle is flipped too. I think those look so much better... The image on the right is a duplicate of the first and corrected to the way I look to others. i don't like it. It seems to show my crooked nose and other ugly features better. Is it an illusion?
Note: I have not shaved for 3 days in this photo, I hate shaving... and I am lazy I guess. haha
I have been on HRT for 5 months now, just E.
I have not trimmed my brows in some time.. I know I know.. would totally help.
I need better training on the makeup thing :p (lashes look darker than IRL , must be the light)
Ok , be brutal I guess. I can take it,... maybe. hehe. I am thinking I look much younger than before HRT, but I would need to post b4 photos ... maybe another time.

Hey you,
Long time no see :) wow your face has truly feminized and I think your aura has transitioned as well.
Great work. Just take care of yourself and you are definitely on the right path.
Quick question, why aren't you taking an AA? just curious lol

:) thanks Maria, That makes me feel great! since my real question is
"Do I look like a 42 year old Man?" Which, I hope the answer to that is
NO. There are things I could do like I mentioned, shaving , plucking , etc, but also I am not full time and not that worried about dressing up and looking good right now. Just for special occasions. I am considering surgery to fix my broken nose, but that is back burner. I would want to fix my teeth and adams apple before that. I try not to show either in photos and hide them in public too, so apparently they bother me.
hugs :-*

You definitely don't look like a man at all. Hugs

April! Hi :-*
By AA? you mean androgen blocker? anti-androgen? Correct?
Long answer, my DR is still looking at my T levels to see if when my T increases, Do the Lymes bacteria eat it and grow?, making me sick? So they are looking for correlation between T and Lymes by slowly taking my T levels lower with only E and diet. Watching if I get sick and testing levels again if I do. I went off E for a few days (supposed to be for a month with rigorous workout) and My T levels spiked up and I got pretty sick. Oh and collagen . E helps us produce more collagen, which helps our flesh glow/grow, apparently Lymes bacterias love collagen too so we don't want them to get a taste for it. Let them eat the T! if we remove all the T they might find another snack. We are trying to keep them dormant with the right hormone regimen and diet / exercise. Lymes are terrible buggers, they eat nerves, bones, ligaments, brains...kind of take you apart on a microscopic level. They are tiny little drill shaped bacteria that can drill into any part of your body. ok, ok now I said TOO much. ::)
You look great April! Nice

Well, here are some of my first pictures in a very long time! :-X :-X
4th picture is the best
http://imgur.com/a/177d2
Just took them down stairs using my crappy laptop camera but I think they came out okay. I am pre HRT at the moment, this is with very little makeup (usually how I roll), shaved face (this morning, shave every morning) and about to go out for a stroll.
I would like to know (in a constructive way) do I have naturally feminine features or at least no overly masculine ones? Always been told I have a ''baby face'' and was often mistaken as a girl pre puberty.
Any advice? Bear in mind I hate wearing lots of makeup ;D

Welcome ;D
I think you have a great start, you have soft features and great eyes. I think HRT will do wonders for you as you dont have that far to go. Stick with it and follow your heart, it wont lead you astray. ;)
Advice, no middle fingers in girl mode... I was guilty of this and realized it just doesnt look feminine in pics. I know plenty of chicks flip the bird and they have the right attitude for it, but you and I, right now.... dont ::)
Good luck and hang out with us, look forward to see where you go.... its a rough road as I am learning, but we try to support each other
How likely is it that I could ever pass (with HRT a possibility)? I can't bear taking photos of myself, so I can only post this one from a couple of years ago. The main difference between this photo and now, is that my hair is sleeker and parted at the side now. (Obviously this is a pre everything photo, as it's only this month that I've had my very first therapy session) One thing that is probably in my favour is that i'm only 5 foot 5 inches tall, and very slim.

Thank you for the constructive feedback! ;D *Hugs*. Yeah I am hoping the HRT will go well too! I am really looking forward to it, being in the wrong body for 23 years is long enough 8)
Yeah, I'm not sure why I did the middle finger, maybe I got a little over confident! :o but haha yeah I agree that I for sure dont have the right attitude for it :D
I would love to hang out with you all! Maybe when I start on HRT I can do one of those cheesey timeline things for y'all! Would you mind if I added you as a friend? :)
Hi everyone - still mostly pre everything but decided to go a little mad with the camera this morning ;)

Are you even wearing make up? I can still see some of the shadow on the upper lip by the way, you need to cover the beard shadow, laser helps, but make up is good too ( I just started laser and make up is good enough for me, since I am full time), also try growing up ur hair more, and buy female clothes too, it takes a long time to get a full closet, so starting the sooner the better! Also it looks like you have no eyelashes, I would try wearing at least some mascara? I don't like a lot of make up but some mascara and foundation helps a lot. Also your eyebrows are kinda bushy, maybe trim them down or even just a more female curve. I think you have a very feminine nose, round face and eyes, and little to no brow bossing (which is really a good start). I don't know how old you are but hormones will help, but you need to put more effort than just shaving and very little make up, I woldn't really read as you a girl in that state, sorry. Good luck <3

So well, I am not transitioning at the moment at all but well that what I can come to.

Nyana, you are gorgeous!
For some reason when I look through some of these vanity topics I am reminded of my friends Cockatiel strutting about giving wolf whistles and squawking "Petty bird, pretty bird"

Are you even wearing make up? I can still see some of the shadow on the upper lip by the way, you need to cover the beard shadow, laser helps, but make up is good too ( I just started laser and make up is good enough for me, since I am full time), also try growing up ur hair more, and buy female clothes too, it takes a long time to get a full closet, so starting the sooner the better! Also it looks like you have no eyelashes, I would try wearing at least some mascara? I don't like a lot of make up but some mascara and foundation helps a lot. Also your eyebrows are kinda bushy, maybe trim them down or even just a more female curve. I think you have a very feminine nose, round face and eyes, and little to no brow bossing (which is really a good start). I don't know how old you are but hormones will help, but you need to put more effort than just shaving and very little make up, I woldn't really read as you a girl in that state, sorry. Good luck <3
Thank you for the honest advice, I know I don't look like a girl in this state :P
Yeah the eyebrows for me are always a bit of a mystery, still trying to perfect them, trust me , believe it or not they were 5 times worse than they are now! I will start wearing mascara and in fact have some in my cupboard, I am not sure which foundation to use though, any advice?
As far as the eyebrows I might recommend looking at video on you tube that can help teach you how. I only mention that since they are still a bit of a mystery to you. I know it takes time with them and yes even when done right it takes time to get the desired shop for your face and the desired eyebrow your looking for. As far as foundation a few things need to be taken in account. Your skin color and getting the right one for your skin color is so important. Secondly any issues on your face that can been through some foundations and cancelers should be accounted for when choosing one, if possible. Something that can be added in layers or is a full coverage foundation would be best for certain issues. There are tools and places you can use to help match the right foundation shade to your face which will help keep the cost down too. I hope that helps. Hugs

For anyone who think that he is to muscular to transition , i have a surprise for you, it is totally possible to lose the bulk and look like a woman .
i just found 2 pictures of me, one of 2012 and one of july 2013(at my best shape) . I thought that i had no pictures of me at this time but i found them in my brother computer.

Dont lose hope =) Everything is possible with motivation. Wishing everyone merry xmas and happy new year ;)
Okay, I took some advice and applied mascara and basic foundation, I am actually pleased that I have managed to keep a ''natural look'' and at the same time look better, at least in my opinion, bear in mind this is my first time applying foundation :P

Just took them down stairs using my crappy laptop camera but I think they came out okay. I am pre HRT at the moment, this is with very little makeup (usually how I roll), shaved face (this morning, shave every morning) and about to go out for a stroll.
I would like to know (in a constructive way) do I have naturally feminine features or at least no overly masculine ones? Always been told I have a ''baby face'' and was often mistaken as a girl pre puberty.
Any advice? Bear in mind I hate wearing lots of makeup ;D
Sorry if I ask you too weird question, but do you want to pass as a girl or do you want a androgen expression? (I don't want to misgender you or coming with weird tips)
Actually you're not passing as a female now. You are more at the masculine side. The main thing is your mustache and your hairstyle choice. That hairstyle and the facial hair is considered as guy in our society. If you really want to pass as a female, I would recommend you to get rid of your facial hair and choice a feminine hairstyle. You can go for short hair, as long you grow it a bit longer and give it a feminine shape. Maybe more hair would help a bit. Thinning the eyebrows and having brighter colored - more female fashioned clothes would help a lot too. HRT etc. would help as well.
But if you want a androgen expression, you can go for brighter and more colorful clothes and shave your mustache. And you don't need to change so much more at your look to appear more androgen. Anyway, your nose is feminine. So you have some feminine features. Your head shape is androgen.
(Sorry if I misunderstood you. At your gender marker it's marked Androgen. I'm not so good with these terms. English isn't my main language and I hasn't learned all the terms yet. So I'm not sure if you're genderfluid, genderqueer or a (trans) woman)

Okay just going to point out a couple of things here:
1) That is an old post, posted a more recent one with light makeup.
2) I have listed my self as Androgen as I feel I have both gender traits though I want to look more feminine and are going to be transitioning to a female body. Meaning I will be having full HRT and SRS
3) Yes, I know obviously that the facial hair is a problem, though like many people I simply don't have the money for electrolysis, the best I can do atm is cover it up with makeup as that is my only choice or pay for expensive bleaching. These pictures are freshly shaved.
4) The hair, I agree is a bit short at the moment, however it is going to always be medium length, long hair does not suit me so I am going for the fringe / gender neutral sort of looking hair
5) Clothing isn't important to me , I just wear what feels comfortable and am not aiming to pass based on what I wear, I've always identified as a tomboy type of Androgen / female so hoodies, t-shirt, jeans etc are the way to go for me :) I am investing in some more brightly coloured clothes again at the moment but money is the issue.
Overall I want to achieve an Androgen look not a feminine female look if that makes sense?
Here are some ideas

I had this issue to and what I did was go to European Wax center. They are very trans friendly and from the beginning the computer had me as female so things would ring up as "Women's Brow Waxing", etc. I told them I was trans and transitioning and needed my brows shaped in a feminine arch. It doesn't happen right away, but within 2-3 visits I started to get a really feminine arch. I still go every 3 weeks and do the maintenance myself. Each visit is $18 plus tip, but is so worth it to me. Also the wax they use is almost pain free, (compared to electrolysis) and they even do nose hair, which I don't need now thanks to HRT.

How likely is it that I could ever pass (with HRT a possibility)? I can't bear taking photos of myself, so I can only post this one from a couple of years ago. The main difference between this photo and now, is that my hair is sleeker and parted at the side now. (Obviously this is a pre everything photo, as it's only this month that I've had my very first therapy session) One thing that is probably in my favour is that i'm only 5 foot 5 inches tall, and very slim.

Not passing yet, but I see no problems for you. HRT does soften facial features, like lips and fat distribution. Your eyes and cheeks are soft now so thats a good start. Your hair is awesome. Your chin and mouth area should soften on HRT and even with some makeup contouring, practice now, I bet you could pass. Black and white photo makes it hard to tell for me. It seems to accent the shadow areas of the male muscle structures in your face and neck.

You could pass very easily with makeup and getting your eyebrows groomed. The biggest difference between looking male or female is attention to grooming standards. Thin arched brows, clean shave, and evened skin tone (makeup hiding your naturally larger pores) will soften your face for a feminine appearance. HRT will be icing on the cake...

Thank you for your comment (and Harley Quinn's comment too). It's a totally natural picture so I'd no expectation of passing at all, but it's good to know that I have potential, as I'm currently sitting here unshaven and feeling miserable by thinking that it'll be impossible for me to ever pass. I'm probably luckier than most though as I'm sure a lot of girls on here would have liked to have started out at 5 foot 5 inches tall.
5' 5" is a really good height, and you definitely do have a lot of potential.

I am now getting laser for $200 for 6 treatments, and I was kicked out of my parents house and I'm broke as hell, etc... so I got a really good deal, just try looking round your area, even though I understand it depends on where you live! Anyhow... There is some really good tutorial for covering beard shadow... (usually you need an orange colored concealer to cover the beard shadow which is a blue tone I think, I never really used that method, because I have a good foundation, anyhow after the concealer you just use foundation to layer it over), In the picture where you are wearing very very light make up, it's so light I can't see much also the pictures are kind abad quality, anyway the lip shadow is still there... You don't need a light foundation, you need something that covers it very well, because a beard shadow is really hard to cover with "light makeup", I hate wearing foundation too (especially because I only need it to cover the beard), but I still need to shave every morning so I need to use a good one.
I would suggest you to invest some money in good foundation it doesn't have to be super expensive I got mine from Target, just get a really good coverage, try out the colors and see which one looks best on you with daylight, if you can't do it by yourself you can ask for help at stores... Maybe Sephora or Mac. If that sounds expensive I must tell you that it's best to get a really good quality foundation, and maybe you can go cheaper on other products, because your skin is really important.
I believe you about the eyebrows, it takes time, I started working on them since I was in middle school I think, if not earlier, and it takes a while to get them together, if you go to a spa or something, it's easier of course...
Also, I looked at some of your models of androgen looks that you were looking at, I think that most of these models were assigned female at birth, and/or teenagers (and they have different features and bone structure than you, also the clothes they are wearing works well on them because of their body shape, etc... :-\) So it may be very hard for you to achieve that particular look... Anyhow the earlier you start with HRT and hair removal, the faster results will come! Good luck again! ;) :)

I don't know if I can answer the hrt possibility, because that is only genetic play and luck mostly (and it depends from person to person, some get incredible results, and others don't), and also how soon your start, anyhow, the fact that you're slim and average tall it's a plus of course (I'm 5'5'' too btw), but people cans till misgender you if you're average tall or short, I think 5'5'' is kinda average for women, and on the short side for men. I agree with the other girls tho, you can pass every easily, the long hair is nice because you can use it to frame your face in a more female manner, and just trim your eyebrows with a more female arch, that helps A LOT. Also, use make up to cover the beard shadow, and some light eye make up like adding some mascara will feminize a lot too, you don't have to go crazy with the make up but the foundation is important, most girls have a very clear soft skin, and foundation also helps with giving the skin a more radiant a female glow sometimes (hrt will help with that too, as well as moving fat around your face so you will look rounder).

Look, I get the point but I am not THAT concerned about phyiscal appearance
Again I will state I can't afford anything at the moment and have more important things to spend money on like food and rent than hair removal.
I use a light foundation because it matches my Skin tone very well, looks natural and I am not looking to cake myself in orange foundation / makeup just to hide a little shadow.
Thanks also for pointing out the fact that I am not going to look like a model, that is pretty obvious, I was stating the look I was aiming for.
I find your comments really not constructive and would appreciate it if you could not comment on any further pictures I post. I was asking whether I had any feminine features / had any chance of passing
in the future and all your doing is pointing out how much I don't look feminine, telling me to do the same as you and shooting down aspirations I have.
Thank you.

So I was curious and figured I'd get another person's opinion.

On the left is me with just my face, hair back, and hat. (I know I look terrible lol) On the right is with my eyebrows edited and hair in the front. (I think I look better smiling o .o) I didn't put on makeup either. I haven't started HRT yet so I know I probably don't pass but do you think I might have a shot for now if I just get my eyebrows done (sort of like the picture on the right)? I'm scared of going out in public en femme because I know my eyebrows are waaay too masculine atm and I'm afraid of screwing them up by plucking them myself. I kind of want to try to stay natural for now and only rely on makeup if I really need it... which I probably do but yeaaaah.
The eyebrows did a world of good for you! For pre HRT this looks amazing and I think your really attractive:)

So I was curious and figured I'd get another person's opinion.

On the left is me with just my face, hair back, and hat. (I know I look terrible lol) On the right is with my eyebrows edited and hair in the front. (I think I look better smiling o .o) I didn't put on makeup either. I haven't started HRT yet so I know I probably don't pass but do you think I might have a shot for now if I just get my eyebrows done (sort of like the picture on the right)? I'm scared of going out in public en femme because I know my eyebrows are waaay too masculine atm and I'm afraid of screwing them up by plucking them myself. I kind of want to try to stay natural for now and only rely on makeup if I really need it... which I probably do but yeaaaah.
With groomed eyebrows I think you really pass good. You look cis at both pictures. But groomed eyebrows suit you and give you a feminine cuter look. You have a very feminine face. I think you're very lucky.

Doubt I will ever pass but hoping with some work could be accepted as a female.

How long have you been at HRT? HRT usually make your face rounder and would help a bit. Round face is seen as femininity often. If I meet you at the street, I would probably think you're a woman. But if I look close at the picture, I can notice some masculine features like the head shape and the jawline. You pass better than many trans women btw.

Thank you. Your very kind. I have been on e for about 6 months. I don't think that had much of an effect physically. I started spiro with e about a month ago. I really hope my face will round out. I tried a face recognition site and I get only about 20% female. I know lots to work on but that was crushing. I was nervous about posting a pic without glasses because I am not full time. Glasses helped a lot and sure feel I look better with them. I should be getting my eyebrows done soon but not totally feminine yet. Here is a pic without glasses.

Without glasses you're not passing 100%. You have the potential and few female features. The features in your face is androgen. But your head shape is often considered as more masculine, especially by the society. Strong jawline and squared is seen as masculine. Round face is feminine. HRT/Estrogen isn't so powerful as T, so it would take longer time before you would discovering big changes. But after a couple of years, you would probably notice them.
I'm honest with you.
Lovely pics. you pass. Hugs

Kawaii! You look great, especially with the hair and edited eyebrows! When you're ready, maybe have a female friend help you pluck your eyebrows a little, and if you only do a little bit people won't notice too much when you aren't en femme.
I was messing around with InStyle magazine's makeover tool. Do I look female? ???

Your two other pics look nice, the edited one is way OTT :angel:
Vinyl Scratch is right. You look fine in the natural pics, but the edited one could use a little toning down a bit. The basic idea being is sometimes a little color goes a real long ways. Hugs

1. Find the [share to other devices] button on your page. It's a grey circle with an arrow pointing right.
2. Left click on [direct] to the right. This should copy pic address.
3. Come here and right-click paste to your post and bracket the address with: [ img ] (address goes here) [ /img ]
For step 3 tho, remove all the spaces (I can't show it without the spaces because it'll format and show up as (http://(address%20goes%20here)) )
Tada! Result:

I also use photobucket. If you are using app, then just click share, copy link to clipboard, and the 4th option is IMG. Click on that and just paste into the post. You don't have to use the "[IMG]" brackets on the site. It'll do it automatically.

Edited pictures: The edited picture have a exaggerated look and it's easy to see it's edited, but I can't editing, so I can't give you a tutorial. The hair doesn't match the head properly and I can easily see you edited hair at the picture. I can see the gap between your right cheek and the hair. But the lipstick is nice. It doesn't look so edited. The makeup look more convincing than the hair. You would pass better if you groomed your eyebrow, but it's hard for me to rate from the edited picture. It's easier to tell you from a not-edited picture.
Non edited pictures: You body pass very well. It looks convincing and it could be a cis woman's body. Your face have mixed features between feminine and masculine features. But it wouldn't be a so big problem for passing. The major thing that can help you passing is grooming your eyebrows. The society thinks thinner eyebrow is femininity, but thick eyebrows are masculine. You can also get lesser squared glasses. The squared one would give you a more masculine look. Glasses with another form would appear more feminine. Maybe you can grow out your own hair. Long hair make you pass much easier. If you consider a wig, I would recommend you wigs made of real human hair. They are expensive, but really worth it. They are very convincing and nobody can tell if they are real or not.

My sister is just the best. She lives in Italy and sent me a whole box of designer clothes from Milan: the skinny jeans I was aching to have, tons of dresses, blouses, coats, shirts, sweaters, an evening gown, it's a complete wardrobe and all perfectly suits me. For me it's kind of a "big moment", because I only had a very kinky and slutty female wardrobe that was entirely unsuitable for social occasions. with these clothes, I'm not so scared to go out on the street anymore.

Yes. Generally women have a great fashion sense. A lot of my female friends give advice on my fashion and makeup. Yes. Women tend to be more supportive of m2f transgender. Some of them are actually chasing me as if I am a kind of celebrity.
You may try some laser facial resurfacing or other treatments to make your face look more feminine. It is not so much expensive nowadays.

@Mariah: Thank you! Having this wardrobe means so much to me.... I'd been planning to be "en femme" all of the time except for work, but not having these clothes nor the budget to get them prevented me from doing so. So it's like a whole new chapter in my transitioning. Just being able to dress the part.... I only found out after I got all this, how much not having these clothes was stressing me out.
@Barbie: I agree, my face should be made more feminine. But I'm in this program with the VU medical center and they take a very long time. Somewhere in May I can start with hrt and after that I can start feminizing my face. In the mean time, I'll have to solve it with makeup.
My sister loves it that I'm trans.... when I came out to her, her first response was: "I finally have my sister!" But she's also critical.
Last night I was walking on the street and a guy whistled because of my ass... I should have been insulted, but he in fact made my evening :)

It was a good clothes choice. It's nice clothes. With HRT you would easier pass. HRT will give you more curves and female hips. It would also give you breast developing that is a good thing if you want to pass. But you have a good start now.

Nobody here can pass 100% as a cis. Simply, it is impossible for any m2f transgender girl to pass 100% whatever she has done, including SRS.
You look just beautiful, more than most ordinary women, and passing is not an issue.

Thank you Barbie, Kate, and Mariah! I'm not even sure where I'm going at this point or if I'm even going to go through with transition or not. (I know that sounds kind of foolish considering I'm on HRT.) I really wish I could grow out my hair but due to the stringent grooming standards at work, this is pretty much it for hair length.
~Rachel, I think you're beautiful and have a great smile!
~Jade, I agree with others. You have great features.
Quote from: Vinyl Scratch on December 21, 2015, 07:48:49 AM
I find your comments really not constructive and would appreciate it if you could not comment on any further pictures I post. I was asking whether I had any feminine features / had any chance of passing in the future and all your doing is pointing out how much I don't look feminine, telling me to do the same as you and shooting down aspirations I have.
Thank you.
Ok... But you post your pictures on a forum where everyone who is registered can give feedback and you ask for feedback, if you don't want people to give you their honest opinion then don't post your pictures here, or just say: I only want positive feedback and compliments... I would say to post in the other thread "You look fabulous" or something like that, since this is more for people that are asking if they pass or could pass, and you're definitely not looking for that, I did tell you that you had some positive things about you, and I also told you what you could have done to pass in the future. I won't comment on your posts, I am not trying to put you down, I was just trying to help you, but I think you don't deserve my help, so good luck with everything.

Good luck on going out fulltime, I love your style of clothes, I wish my sister would send me clothes too, and we're both italian lol, but she's completely unsupportive. Just be comfortable and work on other things like mannerism, etc... :)
This is how i looked like when i went shopping with my mom today for work clothes . She asked me not to wear my wig so.. this is what i looked like at the commercial center.. lol

how did i do? Be honest all i see is a boy with makeup in this picture.
i think my face is damn to long to pickup any short hair style :(
i guess one more year to look in the mirror and think i look like crap without my wig
With Hair : Instant pass, without : back to boy .. not cool

I feel like my jaw is wrong and unfixable ( lenght), my forehead is to prominent ( i have no bossing, nothing to shave its just forward and ugly, i def need type 3) , my nose has a bossing and is as bugged as my forehead is and my brow ridges annoys me everytime i see my reflection. Stupid dysphoria i thought it would leave me. :(
I thought that after starting hormones i would just chill , then after it was ohh when i will be full time i will chill and stop thinking of the date of my FFS but now that i am full-time i think of it and even more and i start to overthink of my SRS date since i begun my full-time year condition.. all my patience has gone away with those 24 wasted years as a boy .
Will i ever be able to look at myself and appreciate me ?
With the wig, you look great. Yet with out it, I would say your on the Sandro side. it's not so much the length but the style in correlation with your face. Hugs

I feel like my jaw is wrong and unfixable ( lenght), my forehead is to prominent ( i have no bossing, nothing to shave its just forward and ugly, i def need type 3) , my nose has a bossing and is as bugged as my forehead is and my brow ridges annoys me everytime i see my reflection. Stupid dysphoria i thought it would leave me. :(
I thought that after starting hormones i would just chill , then after it was ohh when i will be full time i will chill and stop thinking of the date of my FFS but now that i am full-time i think of it and even more and i start to overthink of my SRS date since i begun my full-time year condition..
Will i ever be able to look at myself and appreciate me ?
I like the no wig better
Is it to early to think that HRT wont change my face at all like it happened to my 2 beautiful trans friends that have been a couple years on hrt. I am envious ,i feel like i am game over and i didnt win lottery once again. ( due to bone structure of my face)
I think the longer hair frames your face better and makes it look more feminine, even tho without you look very andro/feminine too, but I don't think it's passing.

I think you don't pass with the short hair (although I think you look androgynous with the short hair and still have very feminine features), while you definitely do pass with the longer hair, I think longer hair can help pass a lot of people, anyway I think you're really beautiful :) When you will grow your hair out, it will make you feel even better! I also think that you don't need much ffs.

Good luck on going out fulltime, I love your style of clothes, I wish my sister would send me clothes too, and we're both italian lol, but she's completely unsupportive. Just be comfortable and work on other things like mannerism, etc... :)
Well thank you. I'm not Italian however, but Dutch/ Jewish. My sister married an Italian guy and moved to Rome. She loves that I'm transgender, her first response when I told her about it last summer was: "I finally have a sister" and then she started commenting on how I should pluck my eyebrows (which I did the next day). She's very concerned with my passability and is kind of coaching me in my taste for clothes. She believes I should avoid hyper femininity and holds me back in that respect. I love her style and am learning a lot from her. Dutch women are much more casual than their Italian counterparts.
I always got along with her, when we were young we often played dressing up games. I just remembered: notwithstanding our Jewish background, around christmas we made a new musical out of the nativity story from the bible, with acting and songs we wrote. We always forced our youngest brother to play the part of baby Jesus and were having fights each year about who could do the Virgin Mary part. We both found Joseph a bit of a loser for buying into the story that his wife was impregnated by the Holy Spirit.
We're both in our forties, but our relationship really hasn't changed a bit. She's in Holland now and we'll have a girl's date the day after tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.
The rest of my family is quite unsupportive though. They seemed supportive at first, but that was just because they weren't taking me seriously and believed it was some kind of "phase" that would pass. They're finding out this is not the case and they don't like it. My mother even told me she was "disgusted" and has been avoiding me for months, my father cut contact with me for other reasons, but it's quite obvious what the actual reason is and my little brother (our baby jesus) is making cruel jokes about me believing to be a Golden Retriever next year.

how did i do? Be honest all i see is a boy with makeup in this picture.
I see a very goodlooking girl with the short hair, not a boy at all. In fact I like it better without the wig. To me it seems your face is quite feminine with the high cheekbones.
Can't wait until my own hair is long enough so I can get rid of the wig. But I've been growing it for half a year now and it still seems short. I als have very thick, curly hair, it seems to grow upwards instead of downwards :(
Thanks for the feedbacks girls ;)

Um, LoL :icon_giggle: I'm not laughing at your dysphoria; that'd be horrible... it's just... wtf, that's unreal. LOOK at yourself.
You say you didn't win the lottery, yet everyone, and I mean everyone, (both here and
>-bleeped-<) says that you're gorgeous. Do you think people have collectively banned together to one by one lie to you? Don't ever let yourself feel that you're not lucky. That's ridonkulous.

I think you don't pass with the short hair
Agreed. Until your hair gets longer, or until HRT does more work. I think a cute hat would work wonders if you feel you need to ditch the wig from time to time.

Um you definitely won the genetic lottery. - you're beautiful. Your dysphoria just won't let you see it. On internet forums for strangers I would never ever tell someone they're beautiful unless I actually thought that was true.
thank you.. makes me feel better even if i wont be able to appreciate me until FFS :-\

You pass better with the long hair. But you can pass without it too, because your femininity in your face.

Nobody here can pass 100% as a cis. Simply, it is impossible for any m2f transgender girl to pass 100% whatever she has done, including SRS.
You look just beautiful, more than most ordinary women, and passing is not an issue.
barbie~~
I'm disagree with you when it comes to "Nobody can pass 100%". I think it's depend from person to person. Some women doesn't pass 100%, other pass as cis women and you can't tell if they are trans or not. I have seen a couple of trans women who look 110% cisgender, because they have a feminine look from the start and are lucky with their genes.
It's same with trans guys. Some of them pass 110% as cis, other don't. People are difference.

Hi Autumn
my guess is you will be one pretty girl. But as the others have said the hair need to be longer. I not sure if you plan on staying at the job were you are working but it you are going to you mite want to talk to someone in HR or your boss and let them know that you will be transitioning and not be held to the short hair rule as you are now. The law should protect you about discrimination also. So if they fired you because of it you would have a legal avenue.

Lyndsey
Thank you Lyndsey! I have to admit though, every time I see myself in the mirror, I feel so terrible and see all the parts that I hate. Heck, I've been thinking about giving up on the whole process.
As for work, the administration is fine and pretty progressive. The only thing is, since it is such a alpha male dominated field and work place, There is no way that I could come out. I'm not worried about harassment in the traditional sense, more so discomfort, avoidance, gossip, and ostracism from many of my co-workers. I plan on being there for another year and a half before I leave.
Quote from: Melanie ♡ on December 26, 2015, 08:48:24 PM
I agree with barbie, with longer hair you would definitely pass... Sometimes we're too hard on yourselves, you probably don't need ffs, but I guess it can make you feel better about yourself. Happy holidays!
Hey Melanie, thanks. long hair would be great but it isn't so in my immediate future. I do agree that we tend to be our own worst critics. I guess it comes with the territory.
Bought myself a MUCH better webcam today, as well as wearing some more foundation, I am happy with the results :)
My hair is kind of naff, but I am aiming for a more tomboy look anyway, so I still need to grow it out / style it more.
http://imgur.com/a/Znatm
I understand you archlord, I feel the same way, I really need to get ffs to be happy with myself, but I don't think I need to for passing, at least i hope so (You don't need it for passing neither when you have long hair), and thanks Jade & Valkria <3

I can see you removed all the facial hair and you do improve. But you still doesn't pass yet. Even you have some softness and roundness in your face, you still have a bit square/angular that move you to the more masculine side. So I would say you look androgen. But because your hairstyle and clothes style, you appear more masculine. HRT, change of the clothes style and hairstyle is the only key I know about that would make you pass better.

At HRT you would off course pass. You have androgen facial features, so it would be no problem. It's a big chance people would guess you're a girl now too, if they suddenly saw you at the street.

Oh Missy
You look so pretty here and I have to say I would never in a million years think for one minute that you were not a cis women! You are beautiful. I wish I was young again. So sweet. :angel: Love the dress were did you get that?

Lyndsey
Thank you so much :) It's so nice to have such a lovely response and you're so kind too!! I'm not that young any more either lol!! I got the dress from an Asda sale for about £5 and the jacket off of a market stall. In fact the whole outfit probably cost under £40 including the shoes and everything.
And I'm really impressed with how far you've come Lyndsey - it's amazing to see and inspires all of us for the future. :angel:

Yes Missy
Thank You so much for your Kind words also. I mite be getting older but I feel as I fit in now for once in my life. We have all come a long way and I myself feel great!! I wish that I could have done this many years before but it was unheard of when I was young. My father was a hard core Catholic and he would have killed me for sure. My mother agrees with me on that. She has had a hard time with my transition but she has come around over the years. All the Girls and Guys on here look so wonderful. It is a very Heart felt feeling when you get dressed up and go out and feel so comfortable and Pretty or Handsome. I always feel good when I do. Like I said Missy you are Beautiful! I envy you with that. :angel:

Hi Thalia
You look Great but try a skirt or dress that will perk things up. The jeans are ok but something more feminine is much better.
Hug's
Lyndsey
Archlord, you are such a beautiful woman. You have such girly features, I think you totally pass with short
or long hair. Personally I think you look slightly better with short hair, really shows of your
cheek bones and big pretty eyes.
Wow Missy D, looking great lady! Loving your nails, wish I could grow mine that long. Such a fab
dress, especially with shiny scarf accessory :)
Very pretty Valkria. I think you will have a lot of success with hrt :) LoVe your top by the way, best of luck x
Feeling brave, so thought I'd share a picture of me without makeup :) This was early this morning, so yeah I have zombie pale skin and my eye brows look weird when there not filled in. I've not shaved for week either, Do I still pass? Also I've just had my birthday, what age do you think I look approx?

I'd guess 17. Being generous with the age thing since it sounds as if you're older... you honestly look 15. Total pass, and that week of no shaving sounds like it would be amazing! You can't tell, from the picture I don't even think you have peach fuzz to begin with.
And then I cheated and looked on your profile... Mind blown! You look great! How often do you get carded?
OMG thank you Harley, you have totally made my day :D Ohhhh sneaky cheater :) I don't drink or smoke, so not very often :) I did get ID'd for trying to buy super glue the other day, alas I had none with me and had to leave with just a glossy magazine :(
You look so young and great Moomin =)

You still pass very good. But you passed better at the picture you posted earlier in this thread. If I saw you in real life, I would probably think you're a young cis woman.
Quote from: Melanie ♡ on December 27, 2015, 01:31:56 PM
I understand you archlord, I feel the same way, I really need to get ffs to be happy with myself, but I don't think I need to for passing, at least i hope so (You don't need it for passing neither when you have long hair), and thanks Jade & Valkria <3
I watched your newest video at your YouTube channel. You doesn't need FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery). I think you pass very good. You look feminine and not enough with that, you look pretty too. You still have a bit low voice. But I don't think that would affect your passing ability. I would never guess you're not cis.
Big Moomin thank you Harley, Archlord and Sebby X Oh gosh not shaving for a week was heaven Harley, I love face lasers :)

Hi Jennilynn
You are looking Good. You Pass all day long. Like the dress, I don't wear them as much as I use to as I retired for my job for the DA's Office. I do love to wear them but I a country girl that cuts wood hays the fields and bails the hay feeds the chickens collects the eggs and shoots the coyotes. When I go out with my Man he likes it so I do.

Thank you sooo much! I spent 25 dollars on the outfit :D <3 Ross! I'm a 38B but I suppose they look a little bigger huh? I cheated and bought a pushup bra lol.. I guess starting out big really blessed me in that department :) I was worried about how my transition would go being that I'm 36, but so far so good I think.. :) You're looking quite beautiful as well btw :)
I bought a new wig yesterday that I'm still not sure about.
Maybe something longer might work better?

Personally I think it looks better than the wig but that's just my opinion, the only other thing I can think of is to get some nice dangling earrings to balance it all out when your piercings are all healed up

If I saw you walking down the street I would think you are a modern looking woman. Not every woman has to have long hair anymore these days, and you have a very feminine face.
I'm actually kind of jealous because I could never wear my hair like that, as it would instantly show my big fringes.

Pretty much yes. From that point of view (too close camera can be playing a role here) it makes your face look very heart-shaped, which is indeed a very feminine shape thus makes the jaw look narrower (jaw width is stablished partly according to forehead width). Also your hairline doesn't look masculine, nor your frontal bone.
I think that hairstyles that completely uncover your forehead can make your face shape look very femme. They can be worth a try.
By the way, you're doing really great on HRT. Did you change anything on your dosage/regime lately? Did any skin-related beauty treatment? I remember some photos you posted previously where your skin and overall facial expression looked really tired and now your skin looks superb.
I am still on same dosage, I have my 3 month control next week . My skin changed so much that I had to add daily/night cream . I also got better at makeup and using dermablend and some powder instead of only concealer( finally bear shadow is behind me, laser working well too ). I recently added contouring kit from Stila to my routine
My lastest gallery : http://m.imgur.com/a/yvfru
Yup, contouring kits are pretty powerful makeup tools, and your makeup looks really nice. But even having that into account I think your face and skin look way better than before. You're doing a great job.
Thumbs up!
Happy New Year!

I love the wig!
Id say definitely pass, just hafta round out them cheeks a bit.
Im sure you might already do this, but when you lotion your face rub it in really good, it gets your blood pumping and works the muscles similiar to breast massages keep going until the lotion is completely absorbed and it may help!

For me you doesn't pass yet. You have a way to go. You have still some masculine features that make passing harder. The jawline, head shape etc. have a bit masculine shape. It's square or angular. After several years at HRT, it may softening your face.
I have been asked of how much my skin/face changed from HRT alone without makeup improvement. I had 3 laser session so far
This is pre-HRT on september :

Wow, that's a amazing result you got. :eusa_clap: I thought you had been on HRT in several years. :o
More experiments in no makeup! Went out today and didn't have any negative reactions. Got hit on a couple of times actually. Might of just been the push up bra though ;) Makeup now being a choice, rather than a necessity is so liberating X

Hi Moomin
I'm with you there if you look close at my pictures it is not very often that I take the time to put on makeup unless I plan on going to get really dressed to go to a wedding or some special occasion

Hi sweetie
Looking sweeter by the day. When you smile in pictures it make you even prettier as if you look at most female photos they all show there teeth, I like that one the best. Just a though. What the hell are we all doing home on a Saturday night we should be out.

Always lovely to hear from you Lyn :) I'm personally resting all weekend as I have CFS/ME and I'm saving all my energy for H&M and Collectif sales Monday morning <3

Yes, you pass.
Thanks for comments, Lyndsey, Autumnleaf and Sebb!
I just returned from a 5-day trip to the mainland. And I found that this thread has been the most active during my absence. So many new photos and posts to see and read.
Anyway,
Happy New Year!
Everybody, be more beautiful in 2016!

Yes. Deep pink matches well with you. I also ordered a few bikinis of the same color.

My hairs dressed this way looks more femine? It actually was the result of taking off my wig cap loll
Personally I think you look more feminine with short hair. As you have a fair and slim face, you may reveal your jaw line to emphasize your feminine face line.

You look well with that hair style, which is called 'C-curl' and also popular here in my country (S. Korea). Nowadays, I am also maintaining that kind of hair style. It takes about 10 or 20 minutes to make curls by using the hair dryer. Blonde color is also nice for that hair style.

Yes. You are licensed to skip wearing makeup.
Nowadays, I just wear eye makeup everyday. Today I also skipped makeup, but the eye makeup still remains.

Hi Barbie
I was in South Korea again last month and it was COLD :D I had a fantastic time again and I can't wait to visit more.
I love your hair. The style really looks good on you.
The wig is 'growing on me' (sorry!) it's losing the 'wig' look with use and beginning to look more natural. I think I'll be using it for a while.
Hi Girls
I have to say that I have not seen one single girl on here that does not pass, You are all so pretty. It does't matter what time in your life that you start it is doing what you need to be happy with yourself. When you are happy it will show.

We have been under severe micro-dust storms (yellow dust) from China for several consecutive days. Without yellow dust, here is a kind of pristine island. Summer is far better, and it is worst in winter. No hope for improvement in air quality in the near future.
Yes. I saw less dust in Japan. Last August I visited Kyoto, Japan, together with my kids. It was a very nice city and my kids also loved it.

Yes. Virtually there is no difference between natural hair and wig. Both want a lot of daily care. I have been applying a hair treatment product after shampooing everyday. The effect is noticeable.

Looking good :) I like your hair, it's looking really femme with the ends flipping out.
If you are open to suggestions then I'd recommend playing around with the lower lash line. Maybe only come in 1/3 to 1/2 of the way from the outside. Could also try smudging it. That defined line you have now certainly has it's place in certain looks, but it will make your eyes look smaller. Having a short line or none at all on the lower lash will leave your eyes looking larger.
When you can, plucking and defining the brows will make a dramatic difference. But I'm guessing you haven't because you don't want to out yourself yet?

Hi Barbie
You look stunning, and I'm quite sure you turned a few heads in Kyoto. It's been a couple of years since I was in Kyoto, but it is a beautiful place.
I arrived in Busan and then drove north east and the countryside is beautiful. As you say, it's very clear. We get a lot of the dust from China down here too. It used to be seasonal but now it just never stops. Wish I hadn't bought a white car :P

You look as female as it gets, I think. What do you dislike about your feet? I have hopeless womens size 14 feet. Recently I painted my toe nails first time a nice purple but after wished I would have picked a really really light purple. If they were a couple inches shorter with toes that are as long a fingers they would be just fine.
you look good

I know this isn't a pass, but I wanted to post something with my real hair! As a precursor, yesterday was a day of many firsts and leaving the house without a wig was the first of the firsts! The other firsts...
- Got *obvious* attention by a fellow on his way into the bar (next to where my therapists building is, I was waiting outside since code didn't work to get in).
- Used the 'ladies' room
- Got the official thumbs up from my therapist that I am good to go for HRT, she is going to draft and send the letter soonish (which is good, since my first GP/endo appt is on the 1st of Feb.
Couldn't be more jazzed!

Squirrel, you look 100% to me, especially the wider hips and narrower shoulders. My feet are size 11 women's, but I hear that just makes your legs look longer, so there are advantages!
And Kelseygirl, you might not think it's a pass, but it looks pretty close to me!

This is how I look pretty much every day, now. I haven't come out to more than a few friends in my area, but I plan to be openly out by mid-March.
where is the picture of the problem?
Thanks everyone. It's helped and I felt a little better over the last couple of days. I think being off work gave me too much time to dwell on things.
I don't think I'll ever like my feet or their size but hopefully one day I can learn to accept them.
So I messed around with some make-up today and managed to not look like a clown. ^_^
I liked what I saw enough to take some pictures! I even smiled!
I'm 21, should be starting hormones in a few weeks, have had one session of laser so far.

What do you guys think?
Hey Jessica May :) You look great for someone pre-hrt . I think HRT will do very good job with your face. You have a nice oval face and feminine features. On other hands your forehead is a bit prominent just like mine but HRT will help with it by balancing your face ( fat on cheeks etc) . You also seems to have not to wide shoulders wich is a really nice advantage for passing :)
Good luck and enjoy your new puberty soon.
Archlord, if I may, where do you get your wigs? The only ones I have are $10 costume wigs, and quality $150 wigs are out of my budgetary reach atm.
I think you are so lucky to begin your transition with such a great starting point. You are really cute and HRT will probably make you absolutely gorgeous. Good luck sweetie!!

My 3 last wigs were 220-300$ . I am buying brazilian Human hairs
So I saved up for a new wig and I'm feeling pretty good. Still pretty everything.

Hi findindreason, you look beautiful, totally pass.
Hope you don't mind me adding though, a change of necklace or no necklace would add an extra femininity and make you even more passable :)

Looking great girls!
For budget wigs i suggest that wish app, the wigs in the $50-60 range are actually pretty great quality!
I spent $25 on this one, its not the best but heck for 25 i cant complain.

I bought a Henry Margo blond synthetic wig. It was About $240 Canadian. It seems to be very good quality and fairly light. The other one I have was $60. Both say the hairs were made in Japan. Would like to order a real hair one eventually.

Not awful at all. You're just looking a bit tired as if you hadn't enough sleep: droopy eyelids, swollen/saggy mouth area. Also the hair makes your forehead look too short, this unbalances the face making the lower third (jaw, mouth) of your face to appear big and long.
Just a couple of easy tweaks and you're gonna look great.

Hi everyone! I'm super excited lately, because I've come out at work, and everyone has been super supportive of me, and they're changing my badge name and my picture, so that I can start being me at work! how exciting right?? Anyhoo.. I just wanted to share my progress, because for 36 years old, I think I'm making excellent progress! <3 But as always.. you're opinions matter to me, because you are my people! <3

yes.. before I realized this was possible.. I hated life.. Tried to commit suicide several times via pills.. but I wasn't good at that either :/ I would have constant dreams that somehow I became female, and then I'd wake up and stuff my face :( Once I finally figured things out, and learned about HRT I jumped on it, and I pushed myself... I'm still pushing myself 162 lbs later :) It feels good to live as who you really are, and not have to lie and pretend.. I lost a lot of "Friends" but in the end I have so many more quality friends, that I don't regret a single thing, or miss a single one :D

Nonsense! You look female to me! Long hair would suit you. Hair is great for framing a face and you have a good hairline. You get to play with different looks as it grows out too. :D (there is a few problematic stages but...)

If you buy yourself more feminine glasses, you would easier pass. The main thing that make you appear more masculine is your glasses. If you get smaller and lesser squared glasses, you can pass better. I have no idea which glasses that is good. But these you wear are indeed very masculine. I have no more advice than getting new glasses and HRT.
Thank you sooo much gals and guy!

You doesn't pass at all at this picture. Your hair is very masculine and short, it do your face appear more masculine. It's a typically short haircut that men had at the 1930s and 40s. And you're not very feminine dressed either. But it's not impossible for you to pass. I have seen picture of you with that long hair you posted earlier. At these pictures you showed us that you can pass. The hair and clothes has much to say.

Do I look obviously male in make up and dress? I mean I feel pretty self conscious when I go out in the city.

Your face isn't a issue for passing. You look ok and people would assume right, they would probably guess you're a woman. But I would recommend you to fix your hair a bit. Maybe you can grow a bang that can frame your face and make you appear even more feminine. Just a idea. :angel:

Wow, You are gorgeous!
You all looks so Gorgeous .... lots of love! :-* :-*
The biggest thing you need to do to pass as a female is just to be a female in everything you do. When you have to you go butch and let other's think what they will. They do anyway.
Then chose the lifestyle that fits your personality and whatever your job is. Then, if possible, let people only see you as female either femme or butch.
Actors can play whatever gender role they get a job for and some do it very convincingly. On some level, I believe anybody can to this.
Then you have to live safe and if you live your life as a woman, figuring out your romantic life is going to be a challenge you need to work out in a safe way.
Me, I am just a retired school teacher and stay-at-home gray-haired toothless grandma of 69. My family consists of us three females, my partner, her two adult daughters, and my partner and my son.
We don't have a car and are out walking, shopping, taking the bus together, and I get read as grandma, my partner my daughter, and the kids are my grandkids. Even when somebody asks about how we are related, and one of the kids explains that I am the boy's father, people have problems wrapping their minds about it. I am a female, but my partner accepts me as a male who dresses as a female. They call me Michael all the time and use male pronouns. However, when we are addressed as ladies they let it stand. All every was has seen where I live is a gray-haired grandma so that so far it has been a big so what.
Why my life works out the way it does, I really, don't know, but I know it's not from having any money that I did not have to work for and I have always lived from paycheck to paycheck.
When I show my driver's licence I say that I pronounce Michael as Michelle and they see the M for male, it's like the M doesn't register. Now at 69 and living in urban Florida, older people become invisible and people and people are likely to see an elementary teacher scanning the playground and the classroom. I have not really ever been considered as threatening nor really taken seriously in any masculine way. So over time, I may have been transitioning in every which way other than physically.
Just be the gender you are and dress the way that fits your lifestyle and use makeup in a way that it works for you. There are plenty of women who use very little makeup, so to be a woman you don't have to use it, or just use it sparingly like eye shadow, blush, a little lipstick, some mascara, and light powder
My facial hair is very light colored and my five o'clock shadow is hardly noticeable unless you get up close so if I keep myself shaved my whiskers don't scream out I am here. However, now if I were to make out with a guy, he would get whisker burn as soon as his lips touched my neck. I haven't made out with anyone for years.
Everyone has to change what they can, downplay what they can't change and have the wisdom to know the difference.
This my body with a year+ on Hormones and hip body pads.
I didn't showcase my face because i wanted the focus on body. Does it pass you guys? I feel like my shoulders are too board and manly to go completely full time yet especially in the 3rd and 4th image. Plz be honest!

I've met many women who have broad shoulders. Shoulders will not make you fail unless you are not athletic. Play the athletic card.
I don't think your shoulders are too broad. I exhibited at a marathon event last year with 15,000 runners and family walking by my booth... Your shoulders are just fine. Playing the athletic card is a safe bet, but I don't think you even need to go that far. Just my .02

Your body pass. :)
I would say pass well. Only thing that would help more is thinning waist. Maybe try a waist cincher for a bit more hourglass and it will help to make hips look even bigger. You are off to a great start.

Hiya everyone! Just got back from a mini trip to Scotland. Looks like I've been missing out, so many beautiful pictures.
I think you are doing great Frae, HRT is really working for you! Your very pretty! My only suggestion, which I hate saying, but try to smile in your piccies. I know its scary to do a full teethy cheesy smile, but I found my pictures vastly improved when I started smilling more. X
Karlie Ann, lovely picture lady! Definitely more female than male. Don't give up, your beautiful. I'm going to agree with Sebby, I think more girly glasses would help a lot. X
Cute piccie Shanade, not awful at all. You look like an attractive young woman to me. X
Looking fab Joanne, you don't need surgery sweetie. X
Male fail Byanyothername, we can all see the woman when your in guy mode :) Look at the huge difference in confidence in your avatar piccie compared to that picture though. Girl on a mission indeed! X
Stunning as always Archlord. So wonderful watching your confidence grow and all your lovely piccies X

Were you in Norway 16. January? ;D This may be a silly question. But I saw a person in a mall today who had a black winter cap and black trousers. The person looked alike you, but I didn't dare to greet and talk about Susan's place. I wasn't sure if that was you. I saw that person at a Norwegian mall.
Moomin you pass completely, looking really great! :)

No hormones trying to feel comfortable with myself, its slowly happening and peoples reactions to me are changing for the better too!
Steadily moving forward
So, should I attach my hair or let it flow ? My girlfriend doesn't like me with hair attached but I like it better that way.
What do you think ? ^^

Your starting point is eerily similar to a girl who posted here previously (I think) but doesn't anymore but posts occasionally to another message board. ...she was pushing like 2.5 to 3 years on HRT now. I'd post a link directly but that would be in bad form. Anyway, point being, you two had strikingly similar starting points, its crazy, and let me tell you: she transitioned into a stunning lady; total babe.
The best to you, and thy bags, baglady~

I am surprised you would get misgendered, must be the voice like you said. Hard to see anything but female by your pic. You look a bit like Arch.
8 Months HRT :-)

doing fine
Ok so here is my third time posting pictures on this thread but it will be the first time I've posted to see if I currently pass. If I am, this totally snuck up on me because I was getting misgendered up until about two weeks ago. Now, people working in places I used to frequent do not recognize me and call me "miss" when visiting them now. It seems almost as if I am passing and didn't realize it. Is it my imagination or am I kind of "there"?

None of these have any filters but they were taken on my Chromebook's crappy camera. Also, I know I will eventually get there so telling me I'm not won't ruin my day. I've been doing this very organically and gradually, not really in any rush to fit the public gender binary expectations or anything.
Ok so I found this very pretty dress and just had to wear it out to a transgender evening event.
I would love some feed back. How do you girls think I'm progressing @ 11.5 months low dose HRT.

This is just subjective conjecture, but you look way better without makeup. I've always felt that makeup doesn't enhance beauty; it hides it and creates this fake normality that changes our perception of what we really look like. When you start feeling like you don't look like you without makeup on then there's a problem.
Every girlfriend I've ever had I've always told them to rock au naturel, and they've always looked so much better. Sure, a lil eyeliner and mascara goes a long way, but foundation and concealer and lipstick (which do nothing but clog your pours and create dermatology issues)? Nty.
Anyway. You look great. It'd honestly be nice to see more of the real you; no wig, no makeup as without either you're presenting the real you and that in itself is beautiful. :)
hmm yeah but this is personnal i think. I am to early in transition to start presenting "my male converted self" .
I still see a men without a proper makeup that is still natural in my opinion. I wouldnt really require foundation but as long as i fight with beard shadow i will keep using it. ( 5th laser therapy in 2 week)
After my FFS in 2 week and after the recovery my natural hairs will be long enough so i can use glued hair extensions . Finally! I dont know if i will stay black or go with highlighted blonde hairs.
i am not so different ( at the moment because this will change and improve) then ciswoman that look fabulous with makeup and completely different without it.

Ok so I found this very pretty dress and just had to wear it out to a transgender evening event.
I would love some feed back. How do you girls think I'm progressing @ 11.5 months low dose HRT.

Your face reminds of Megan Fox. I also love the tattoo's. Well placed tattoo's can make a woman look much sexier.

Definitely yes way Karlie, you look fab in all those piccies! The profile shot is hard for everybody, cis girls included, its very difficult to get the lighting right. If I could offer a couple of lil tips? Get your ears pierced, its makes such a dramatic change, for such a quick and is relatively cheap. Also I find if I'm wearing a top that shows a lot of skin, its best to break it up a bit with a nice glammy necklace :) Awesome makeup skills lady X
Tips to Crissy1979 and Techgirl. If you want to appear more feminine and easier pass, I really recommend you to change glasses. Square glasses make you look more masculine. You could rather have lesser square glasses and a bit rounder - softer frames. Maybe a difference color at the glass frames would do more wonders too. It's much harder for you both to pass with square glasses in my opinion. Square glasses also make your masculine features more visible for me.

Was going to explore options while at my next annual checkup. Which, coincidentally, I need to make an Appt for [emoji4]
I am hoping for the day I could go out as a female and feel really close to passable. I like how I look when I have the sunglasses on but that doesn't work for indoors. I wonder if it would be possible to go with the right frame of eyeglasses that could add as much to the feminine look as the sunglasses do.

I don't think people mind how much a person pass or not. I think people usually have enough with their business. :)
Well this is my first picture here. I haven't done makeup in awhile (2 weeks or so) decided to have a go at it, and see how I looked fully natural me, as I've hit about my mid-mark weight loss wise (down to 205 from 230ish). No way can I pass with my terrible beard shadow. I can't stand the amount of foundation I have to put on to cover things up.
But I felt this was one of my better jobs to date on makeup. Still feeling very insecure/dysphoric about how I look in the mirror but I wanted to share. I'm pre, with maybe a little bit of residual man-boob.

You're very sweet thank you Stephaniec! I've been battling emotionally and logically with possibility of transitioning. These dress and makeup sessions as I lose weight help me immensely with confidence that I might pass given some time. For now I still look like what I am, a guy with makeup on, though I get occasional flashes.
Thank you, you are all so sweet. I guess it's hard for me to see anything female in my face since I have looked in the mirror and seen a man's face looking at me all these years. Anybody have that experience or is it just me?

You have such a lovely face shape, you will pass really well with some laser hair removal and eyebrow shaping methinks! Great going girl!

It is because we all tend to doubt and second guess ourselves. I even do the same. I wish this was somethings we could easily get over, but it isn't For me it's voice more than anything but still. Your very beautiful and definitely pass. Hugs

Congrats! Boy mode fail.
Thanks! In person I don't pass that well, my size and my voice give me up. In boy mode people wait until I talk and then they over use male pronouns and sir and mister to make up for wondering. Sometimes it is fun to watch them struggle trying to figure out "what" I am. 50/50 on passing as a girl or boy, not having my name changed yet, and looking for a job as an industrial mechanic (my trade), life is tiresome. Thank you for the encouragement! I need it!

Such a cute pic...more cheek color to accentuate your beautiful cheek bones... Well done you.. Xo Cynthia
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you Cynthia, very nice of you. I certainly will get some blush. I just did what my mom showed me as a kid when I went out as a girl for Halloween. I used the lipstick as blush.
I posted a few pages back and I think they may have been overlooked. I am going to take advantage of that and post these ones instead. I normally don't wear lipstick (every color looks awful on me) but I finally tried black again and I sort of feel like my lips have filled out enough to rock it.
When I posted the last few, I was explaining why I was posting them. Basically, I find it impossible to objectively judge my "passibility" and have been assuming I didn't pass at all. Lately, though, I've been getting properly gendered and not even recognized at places I used to frequent and by people who I've been talking to for years, suddenly treating me like a stranger. It's been awesome but I want to know if this is a fluke or if I am possibly getting there.
Been loving all the pics I've been seeing here. It's so wonderful watching people become themselves.

Abysha -
I must say I do love the black lipstick on you!!! Goes well with the dark hair and top. I have been thinking about trying that one day, but haven't quite mustered up the courage :) Power to you
Hi everyone! just wanted to stop by and give an update! I'm completely fulltime now, work, home... everywhere! feels amazing! It's very rough at times, but so much more worth it then living as someone I'm not, for all of those years :x
Anyhoo! I wanted to post some updated pictures and maybe get some feedback from you guys on what you think? :)

Some of you ladies have the nicest arms and it makes me a little jealous... My arms have yet to be a little fluffy xoxoxo
I'm coming out! Last night I officially told my grandma and my father, and today I'm telling my brothers.
This morning, my grandma helped me do my hair based on a picture I showed her, so naturally I had to take photos!

I suppose my bangs are a bit shorter than hers, but I love the hairstyle!
Hello everyone, I'm a new poster here. I'm interested in how I look to you with my typical daily look at the moment. At the moment I am extremely torn between seeking facial work for better proportions and continuing to wait out both further hormone changes (at 4 months) and a longer hairstyle (thanks me from the past for shaving your head). Hair removal is coming along but not done.
The trouble is I look at my face all the time and I can't tell what features make it look masculine.
These looks are how I present myself everywhere.

Welcome to Susan's Place. Take what I say with a grain of salt. The primary issue is the strength of your jaw BUT you shouldn't consider surgery yet. At 4 months, HRT might do more with your face and make surgery unnecessary. Changes to your face may take several years so I suggest wait and see what happens over time. For the most part, your face isn't strongly masculine and may take well to hormones.

When I look at my self in these pictures, I think I look horribly masculine (especially when I laugh...) and I continue to wonder if I'm ever going to pass. I'd like to know what other girls think about them.
These pictures do introduce a couple of new changes though compared to my old self; I've grown my hair out a bit more, which I think looks alright. I also applied some very subtle make-up (I like to keep my make-up subtle).
Also: I wore my bra with some stuffing in those pictures.
I personally think that you look entirely more feminine smiling than not smiling. Nothing better than a pretty girl smiling.

Hmm... I suppose smiling does make people look more confident indeed. I just need to let go of my negative reflections, but I think it will take time to undo a negative self-image that has become so rooted into your soul after all these years.
From where I'm sitting, you have no need of that negative self image... smile and enjoy the life you want to live. You have a very pretty and natural smile. It's one of those genuine smiles that is infectious.

It was actually my boyfriend who told me to smile for those pictures. XD I normally try to avoid it as much as possible, though I like to think I'm making baby-steps in terms of opening up and embracing myself.

You don't pass for me. I can't tell you what that make you not passing, because I'm not sure. But I just think you don't pass as cis. Maybe something with the facial features, I don't know. But maybe if you get rid of the facial hair, you would pass easier. :)

I didnt come here looking for a pass or fail, but thanks yes i know its near impossible to cover beard shadow without concealer which i dont have yet, and electrolysis which i cannot afford.
Thank you for your honest opinion though!

So... you're telling us you walk around in boy mode looking like that? My question is how do you pass as a man?! Needless to say, yeah, you should go forward and not look back.
It's crazy what dysphoria can do to our self perception so I'll let it slide that you even had to ask because I totally get it. But hands down, no question in my mind.

You look like a girl already, I don't see how you're not full time, when you look like this.

No just a silly expression that was caught in a pic. Just felt that my facial expression around eyes looks nicer with a happy expression.

I assumed everybody who posted in this thread ask for "Pass or not" opinions. The thread is called: "Do I look or could I pass as female?". If you posted in a update thread without pass or not questions or another thread type, you would get a difference respond.

Its all about showing progress imo, and ive come a long way if you look back lol

Already posted it a few weeks ago but no answer. Do I pass ? What haircut is the most feminine ?
Thanks !

This has been a talking point before and this (my) post more than likely won't change the status quo, but.....
If the very title, definition and meaning of a thread is either ignored due to hurt feelings (or
fear of hurting feelings) or rendered virtually useless due to dishonest (and potentially harmful [for different, less obvious reasons]) hugboxing, then I vote then that mods change the name of this thread to [
The Positive Encouragement Thread] and Sebby creates his own thread called [
Sebby's brutally honest "Do I Pass? thread] and let the chips fall where they may. At least there would be truth in advertising? :embarrassed:
FYI, I'm all about both encouragement
and honesty, and it's an unfortunate reality that these two things cannot coexist
all the time with
all people because everyone here is at varying stages of transition, but when either of these terms' definitions are blurred and their meanings are then lost because you're trying to satisfy them both simultaneously, then something is broken imo.
I definitely have been knocked down a peg or 2 by Sebby's opinion but I really do appreciate them and glad that there is someone being frankly honest on here. It's the best way to know what to work on. I also really appreciate being left with a little bit of hope. Just has to be a little bit. I like Shan and do think she looks very much female.

It's even worse when he ignores you... I'm thinking "Are my pictures so bad that even he is afraid of offending me?!" The last two posts I've made in this thread were made with the hope Sebby would give me an objective opinion. I think I can take it. For me, it's a matter of physical safety knowing if we pass in an objective manner. Ok, my point wasn't to ramble and whine; I'm just saying that Sebby provides a valuable perspective.
As for Shandril, she has indeed come a long ways and is looking great. I have no doubts she will end up with a good outcome, being able to walk around without being stared at for the wrong reasons (I'm sure she'll be stared at for the good reasons soon enough). Sebby was just being blunt as he seems to do.

You certainly have! Keep in mind that true objectivity is difficult in this thread. If I were to ask myself if any particular woman on the street is trans, that person will look trans to me.
So, when we are giving each other our opinions, it is with the knowledge of your situation, you know? You very well might be passing to people who are unsuspecting. I am constantly having to remind myself to be patient. As long as you are moving (no matter the speed) in the direction you want to go, just relax and enjoy the ride.
Ange - didn't want you to hang another couple of weeks... I think your looking pretty good. Don't know if your on HRT
yet. If your dress and mannerisms "spell girl" I wouldn't give a second thought on seeing you out and about that your not a girl. As for your hair, I like the length you've got going, but clueless on what style might be best for you. You might want to visit a friendly stylist in your area for some "pro" advice.
Ali.yo1991, think your doing pretty good....

Honestly oh babe you would have no issues passing. Aside from your somewhat wideish jaw your face is extremely feminine.
Thank you! and yeah my jawline is my most insecure part of my face. I'm hoping HRT will fix that in time. Do you think i should wait till it softens first before going full time? Again thank you so much for being honest with me! I don't want to walk around delusional about myself.
Quote from: Abysha on February 09, 2016, 07:24:18 PM
So... you're telling us you walk around in boy mode looking like that? My question is how do you pass as a man?! Needless to say, yeah, you should go forward and not look back.
It's crazy what dysphoria can do to our self perception so I'll let it slide that you even had to ask because I totally get it. But hands down, no question in my mind.
Well i don't look
exactly like this in boy mode sadly haha but people mistake me for a girl in public many times. and I just only dress up like this around the house. I only asked because i don't know how i look to other people. Even tho i'm a year + on mones, I haven't went public at all yet. I'm scared of being clocked tbh. I don't want to walk around delusional looking like a bad drag queen and getting called sir and laughed at. But thank you for your honesty. I plan on going out with some friends later this year for the first time as my true self and needed as many opinions as possible on my progress.

I say pass. I really like the andro look, but you're clearly female. I like square jaws. Lots of cis women have square jaws and is not a deal breaker.
The Adam's apple kinda hurts some, but again cis women have those and it perfectly natural.
Your there. Your voice and manorisms will determine if you pass.
Depending on how you wear your long hair you may be able to conceal or take away from your Adam's apple.
Thank you a lot for the answers !
I've been on HRT for 9 monthes. (yep it doesn't show much :-X)
Don't be afraid to be brutally honnest, I'm really hard to hurt. (and I'm looking for it)
QuoteThe Adam's apple kinda hurts some, but again cis women have those and it perfectly natural.
Well I'm openly trans so it's not a big deal as long as people in the street or in the supermarket don't ask me "hey why do you have an adam's apple ?" But I was under the impression that nobody looked at that. I might be wrong though.
I'm dressing androgynously right now but I'm not sure wether or not I should pick some more feminine cloth and wear a bit makeup when going outside.

How long have you been on HRT? For me you're not passing yet, but HRT may soften your face. Your ears and nose has a masculine look. I don't know how to describe it properly. But some ears I just consider more masculine than others. Perhaps it's only me. Idk.
Maybe a bit makeup would help you a bit. It may make you skin appear more smooth and feminine. That can soften your facial features too. I see you has long hair. Long hair is often seen as feminine, so that's a good thing. But maybe you can add some volume in it and I recommend you trying out difference haircut so you know which one that would suit you. For some people bang make wonders, and make a more feminine frame. For other, another hairstyle works better. I recommend you to work a bit with your hair, that would affect the passing ability I have heard.
A guide I found.

Your body has a good potential to developing feminine and well at HRT. So your body from your neck and down has a bright future. Your brow bridge and the square head shape makes passing harder. But at HRT your facial features would soften and you would appear more feminine. I recommend you to grow your hair long, because that's associated as feminine and very woman likely by the society. That is a main key for many women to look like women. It's much harder to pass with so short hair as you have now.The brow bridge can be fixed by makeup I guess so. :)

Thank you I never noticed my brow ridge. I had considered ffs but wasn't sure if I needed it. As far as the hair goes I just recently was allowed to start growing it out the job I had required crew cuts 24/7. Track you so much. Iam not ready for full time just yet as I'm having a hard time making m my soft vice sound natural. Otherwise I would just get a wig and beat forms and go full time now.

Ok. :) I think you should first try HRT and long hair/wig before considering FFS to see if that works. If that doesn't work for you, you can consider the next step. It can take several years before HRT give you big chances, so be patient. Let the HRT work before you take your decision if you're going to undergo FFS or not.

Hey Kirsten, yes, I would definitely wait on FFS. Just to let you know, a number of friends told me I'd likely need FFS if I were to transition at my current age (30), and after being on HRT for 3 months, these same people tell me I will likely not need FFS after some more time on hormones. HRT does work quite well for some people, variably well for others, and minimally for a few - you just don't really know how it will affect you until you're on them for some time.
Here's how my face has changed in three months (HRT + 5 sessions of laser hair removal). It may not be a whole lot of noticeable change, but for 3 months, it feels really significant to me:

I think you'll be fine, Kirsten. I think you'd be surprised what brow shaping and hair styling can do for your face, HRT and a bit of makeup work on top of all that and you'll be passing easily. Besides, I'm of the firm belief that it's mostly in your attitude ;) You're also looking great, starting_anew! I'm at about the same point in hair growth, it's killing me :P

Thank you! I want to get my eyebrows done but because of my voice I'm still full time male and I'm afraid to go to a salon and thankfully my hair grows really sticky so in a few months I'll be able to relax it and I should be fine I hope. In this picture was actually the first time I did my own make up.. I was genuinely happy that day.

I've seen your before and after pictures in another thread. So your estrogen has done a nice job. I can still see some male features/features affected by testosterone, but you has come far in the process. Your head shape, size and length makes passing harder for you. Often women has lesser length at their face, are more round and soft. And your body shape makes also passing harder for you. Your body shape is the major thing that would make me think you're not passing 100%. You hasn't the feminine curves and other forms. You looks also tall, but it exist many tall cis girls, so that may not destroy for the passing so much as the feminine forms. You has a very feminine appearance, but because some features, the passing would be harder.
(I has seen more tall cis women than adult women without feminine curves, shapes etc. Therefor a tall woman would pass easier as a cis woman than a woman without so many feminine forms for me)
PS! I'm honest in threads like this, because I assume people want a honest answer. :)
ok , I'm ready for the critique my new avatar at Burger King. I'm working on the weight problem My arms are too big.
You look great as always, Steph!

Agreed, I don't know how they came up with that.
Here's one of me from last week. Minimal makeup, eyeliner is just on the waterlines. Trying on a bunch of clothes that I got from a friend :) No HRT, planning to get my first RLE on a trip next week! Getting my eyebrows done soon and I'm in the process of growing my hair out. I'm right on the cusp of beginning transition, and I couldn't be more excited!

Agreed, I don't know how they came up with that.
Here's one of me from last week. Minimal makeup, eyeliner is just on the waterlines. Trying on a bunch of clothes that I got from a friend :) No HRT, planning to get my first RLE on a trip next week! Getting my eyebrows done soon and I'm in the process of growing my hair out. I'm right on the cusp of beginning transition, and I couldn't be more excited!

You are feminine and have good potential. But you're still not passing. Your body shape isn't very feminine and your hairstyle aren't especially feminine either. Maybe you should consider growing your hair longer. I would recommend you a feminine long bang going down. If you want to, you can get longer hair around as well. Long hair make you pass better, because the society.
You're very lucky with your head shape and your eyes. :) I recommend you these hairstyles. I talking about the appearance, not the hair color. Your hair color is fine. <-- Just added that for not being misunderstood.
With these haircuts you would probably pass very well and the result would be gorgeous.

I've seen your before and after pictures in another thread. So your estrogen has done a nice job. I can still see some male features/features affected by testosterone, but you has come far in the process. Your head shape, size and length makes passing harder for you. Often women has lesser length at their face, are more round and soft. And your body shape makes also passing harder for you. Your body shape is the major thing that would make me think you're not passing 100%. You hasn't the feminine curves and other forms. You looks also tall, but it exist many tall cis girls, so that may not destroy for the passing so much as the feminine forms. You has a very feminine appearance, but because some features, the passing would be harder.
(I has seen more tall cis women than adult women without feminine curves, shapes etc. Therefor a tall woman would pass easier as a cis woman than a woman without so many feminine forms for me)
PS! I'm honest in threads like this, because I assume people want a honest answer. :)
While I appreciate the honesty I'm going to have to disagree. Women come in all different shapes and sizes. I've seen cis women with less curves then me. I could show you my curves but I'd get banned for nudes. Same thing for my face yes I have a long face. But I've worked with a woman with a much longer face then me.
As for passing unless my entire city has been polite towards me for two months. I am passing 99.9% of the time. I get looks from guys for my legs and rear. And kids no longer look at me, and they are the worst at clocking someone. As for height it is what it is. I don't get clocked for it I just get told I'm a tall girl.
I didn't post pictures for validation since I'm happy with my body. And mostly because it feels like the trans community has an idealized vision of how someone world look. If we held cis people to some of our standards not even bio woman would pass.
Just my two cents

Sorry if Sebby offended you, but to be fair, you did post in a topic that asked for opinions; some people may agree with his opinion and others may not, but it is only a subjective observation based on two dimensional photographs that do not show the entire "picture". If you are happy with your appearance, and accepted as a woman in the real world, then that is all that truly matters. The fabulous thread is more of a celebratory thread, so perhaps that would be a better option if you do not want opinions about whether a picture is passing or not.
I wasn't offended. And I did say I appreciate the opinion. And I do have the right to disagree. I don't need validation to know if I pass or not. I'm leaving it at that

If you posted in the "I am fabolous" thread, I would just give you compliments etc. But since you posted in "Do I look or could I pass as female" thread, a passing thread, therefor I gave you a honest reply. Lying isn't a thing I want to do in threads like this, because it's a passing thread. If you don't want feedback about your passing abilities and are happy, I wouldn't recommend you to post in this thread. Because every time people post in passing threads, I always assume they are asking people for a honest opinion. I live in a place/town where most girls and women have feminine forms. I know I don't want feedback by others, therefor I never post pictures of me in passing threads. Have a nice day. :) Don't want validation, this thread may not be the correct one.
So, I cant socially transition at home because I live with my parents and it will upset them. I'm actually comfortable in boymode, but I'm starting to think that it will be more difficult for me to pull it off in the coming months as I'm already a year and a half into hrt and only getting more fem looking by the week. I don't want to upset my parents and I can't deal with the anxiety of having to explain to family members and friends why I look different and socially transitioning in front of them. I think the easiest route for me would to be to finally leave home, as I'm already in my mid 20's, and move to a city, like Portland, with a great trans community, because I believe it would be easier for me to make the switch there. I could start a new life, and finally be able to express myself the way I have always dreamed, as a girl. So, I'm posting here to ask how hard would it be for me to make the switch? Please, no huxboxing, I take this very seriously as it will effect my life greatly in the coming months. What tells do I have? what can I do to appear more fem and pass? fyi, this is my boymode as I cant dress at home.

excuse my chubbyness, Im working on losing the weight :embarrassed:
not hard at all, but You have nothing to lose if you've made the decision to leave already and just come out and see if you can work with your parents. It seems you have nothing to lose. The hormones are doing good.
This is me yesterday before I went out:

Thanks. It's just really hard to talk to my parents. I know if I talked to them, that I would have a better idea of what life could be like in the coming months. I just don't know how to start it. That awkwardness.

Thanks for the recommendations! As I said, in the process of growing my hair out, there's next to nothing I can do with it at the moment. But, what can you do? Also, my body shape isn't super feminine, but it's not exactly masculine. My measurements are somewhere around 31-28-32, I'm pretty much a stick, and I know I have to work on that.

Just wondering if I can pass as female looking like this, thanks for the help :) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1032.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa402%2Fforallittook%2F1449387.jpg&hash=35dd9494da5372ca593acdd28018bce7defb9c9c) (http://s1032.photobucket.com/user/forallittook/media/1449387.jpg.html)
The hair helps a lot at the passing. If rest of you are feminine shaped, it's big chance for passing. You're pretty much androgynous.
I had a makeover while I was out of town this week. Unfortunately I didn't plan on it before I left, so I didn't bring any clothes with me. This was the first time I ever felt like I might be able to appear as female and it's certainly the first time I have ever posted any pictures.

1337th post.
Hair grew a bit longer and I wanted some honest oppinions. I feel like I look better in real life but I really suck at this selfie thing.
No hrt, 3 weeks hormone blockers(not that it will change much).
Only got light makeup powder on the parts to hide any bear shade

Your appearance pass. :) But I don't know how your voice is. Voice can destroy the passing. :) With HRT thing would be perfect.

I think I pass face wise... But my body needs some work (cough cough boobs).. But Iv only been on testosterone blockers for a month and I'm waiting for porphyria blood work to come back until I can start estrogen :( So I can't expect much body wise.

Wow, in your second pics your eyes are popping out so much with your blonde hairs.
I hope you'll post another set of pictures next year to see the changes.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure you won't have much trouble passing very soon. Even without boobs you actually look pretty good already, you have this look where boobs dont matter lucky you.

Kind of tricky to tell because of the MySpace angles but from what I can tell you will probably pass, as long as your voice is good.

I agree if I passed you on the street I probably wouldn't be able to tell your not a cis woman.
Two from a recent trip to Tokyo. I've stopped getting gawped at actually and people barely look at me. My GF says "generally, people can be relied upon to be polite".

coming along quite well
I tried a couple guy pics I took yesterday in an howhot internet program for fun. So surprised it said I was female for both pics. (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/59/42/e6/5942e66674d438c1903dfb0b0496c054.jpg)
definitely female

At picture 1, 3 and 4 you don't pass 100%. You has a squared masculine shape at your head. You hasn't so soften features yet. Soft is associated with femininity; female. At picture 2 you pass much better than the other pictures. You has some revealing skin (Women has often more soft skin), but you has much more soften facial features at picture 2. Maybe it's because the angle and pose, I'm not sure. You appear much more female at picture 2, you also looks like a different person at picture 2. Picture 1 and picture 2 could be sisters. By the way, your face appear much lesser square at picture 2. It's more rounded in a feminine way.

Your face looks lesser squared at this picture than the other you posted. Maybe that's the reason the program guessed female at it. Even thought you don't have the female clothes or the blonde hair, you looks more feminine at this picture. The squareness made passing harder. Without it, you appear more feminine.
I was waiting to hear the Sebby verdict. I'm pre HRT and an athlete with low body fat, so I'm sure that I have sharp features. I'm getting electrolysis with a fairly aggressive schedule which has left my face bumpy much of the time as I am having her thin as opposed to clear areas. I have a ways to go but so much better then even earlier this week. Thanks for the critical eye and I agree that pic #2 is probably the best. Too bad I can't force everyone to look at me from that angle ;p

Hi all,
So Please tell me what you think... If you ran into me on the street would you see me as female? or male?

Because your female expression, I would assume you're a woman. But I would also assume you aren't cis as well.
You have some revealing features like your forehead and nose. I often associate some kinds of noses, forehead and other features with the more masculine side. Your hairline shows some masculinity too. That's my honest reply.

I think I finally get what is meant by squareness of the face. It is when the corner of the jaw goes straight up to the temples? I am guessing that I am doing better because I stopped chewing gum all day at work. I think it built up a lots and lots of muscle on the jaw. Now I have a bad habit of grinding the clear plastic braces I have on. Hopefully can loose some of the jaw muscle from using it less.

Hi Stephanie,
Yes I've been on a low dose for just over 12 months now.
Thank you Sebby for the feedback. I know I have to work toward FFS to take care of my nose, brow and jaw lines.
Today out at lunch, the women at the order counter both gendered me as female. One complimented me on my blouse and wanted to know where I purchased it.
It's a men's shirt, I'm not out at work so I try to keep it more androgynous.
It's getting harder since I now have 38B breasts. My wife is always telling me that I look female in everything that I wear now, be it male or female clothing.
Heres me, year and a half on spiro, and Estradot patches, which done virtually zilch for my appearance but here's me !! Changed to Prostap last week as my testosterone was still in the male range at 19 so hopefully start to see some changes !
Btw I hate my smile so that's a no no 😃

Can you post more pictures? This picture is so bright that it's hard to see properly. But from what I can see, I would say you pass.
You pass. Beautiful picture. Sebby is right also though the photo has a bit of light shadowing the picture itself in the foreground, but you look great. Hugs

Okay I'm confused Bexxi, from this picture you look like a beautiful young woman. Perhaps you're being a little too hard on yourself?
Paige :)
Thankyou Sebby,
Ii will take some pics like side profile etc and post, appreciate your input😊
Paige and Mariah 😊 Thankyou also, I wish I could see what you see I really really do ! You both have genuinely brightened up my night!
I'm usually scared of posting on here or any forum for that matter but glad I did, It has been worthwhile.

I can see something gray in your face. Stubble makes passing harder. Even you tried to cover it up with makeup, it's still visible. There aren't more that reveal you aren't cis from what I can see; from this picture and angle. If I look away from the stubble, you pass.

I think you pass fine you looking good at 3 months. It doesn't happen over night and you will see a lot of changes over time and you will be happier. You look great. Keep the faith Sweetie

Thank you ladies.
I guess I was getting impatient and a little bi***y this afternoon.
I think that for other than my avatar pic, this is the first time I've posted a photo. I guess I needed a little confidence boost and I want to you thank you all for that.
I know it's a process, but I so just want to get through the awkward puberty years. Sigh
Alright then, nighty night and hugs to you ladies for the kind words

You has some rough facial features, but they are also kinda androgynous. With estrogen your face would get softer skin etc, then you would appear even more feminine. But you do kinda pass. As long you has feminine expression (clothes etc) I don't think you need to worry so much.
Hi Everyone,
I've taken some more photo's of myself lol ;) I'm so sorry about the last one!! I was using a timer thingy on my camera and I was so concerned about rushing back to the chair and sitting down that I didn't smile :) Oh well, life can be serious sometimes I suppose!! I do have ones taken by other people but they've usually got my friends in so I'll stick to selfies for the time being. Anyway, please let me know what you think.... It's really so helpful to know this sort of thing :) xx

I don't really have any friends so I'm asking you ladies if you will be my judge and also let me know what else I can work on phusically. Thank you all.

the problem is your face is covered and the pictures of your body don't tell much unless you can specify what you would like to know. Different body angles would tell more about your hips and body proportion. are you on HRT

Hi Everyone,
I've taken some more photo's of myself lol ;) I'm so sorry about the last one!! I was using a timer thingy on my camera and I was so concerned about rushing back to the chair and sitting down that I didn't smile :) Oh well, life can be serious sometimes I suppose!! I do have ones taken by other people but they've usually got my friends in so I'll stick to selfies for the time being. Anyway, please let me know what you think.... It's really so helpful to know this sort of thing :) xx

You still looks manly for me. If you had more breasts and lesser muscle, passing would be easier. It's not so easy to see your face at these pictures, but I think I have commented that before on a earlier picture.

I have been scared to post an actual picture of myself on-line since I still present as male in public. But I took this picture today, and I feel kind of pretty in it, and I'd like an honest opinion on whether I could actually pass or not.

Note: I'm wearing pretty heavy makeup and I wear the had because my hair is receding pretty badly.

Remove the beard shadow and do your eyebrows. You still do not pass to me. But HRT will change that.

I went out with this outfit yesterday and asked my friend to snap a picture with my cellphone. I was wearing a ton of make-up, though it's probably hard to tell from the photo.
I'm always curious to see how well I'm coming along and what others think.
I personally can't stand the look of my face. It just screams "guy" whenever I see it.

It is a serpentine hallway. That is my natural hair and color. Thank you so much for the complement. I've been joking for years with people that I have "girl hair". If only they knew.

You doesn't pass at all yet. Even thought you have a feminine style, I can still see something revealing that make it harder to get a convincing look. Your body shape hasn't the typically female shapes with hips, breasts and curves. It goes straight down and is pretty much flat. Your ears, nose and chin isn't so feminine either and that makes passing harder too. You hasn't so soft and roundish features that is associated with femininity by the society.
My best advice are making your eye lashes look longer and more feminine, so people would focusing at your eyes. Your eyes are more feminine than the other features you have, therefor I recommend you to focus most at them. I also recommend you to have more hair at the side with the ears. You doesn't need it very long, but just a bit length to cover your ear. That may make you appear more feminine.

You're right. I don't think you are passing yet either. Maybe more eyelashes would help. It's very important the eyes looks feminine for passing. Some darker eyelashes and some makeup can help. Soft skin and facial features are associated with femininity. Try to make the eyebrow more like a arch and not straight. Arch and medium dark look feminine, but straight thick eyebrows look masculine. Another tips is changing haircut to a more feminine one. I would recommend you a bit longer hair with a bang. It frames your face, make it appear rounder and more feminine. Then you don't need to worry about the forehead either. That's my honest opinion and tips.

I did use make-up, but I just don't think it changes a whole lot about my appearance (except for hiding my beard-stubble).
I tried using eyeliner but it ended up making my eyebrows look bigger, so I removed it. I'm probably just doing something wrong.
I would really like to change my haircut, but it seems that no matter how much I comb it or style it, it always falls back to the split down the middle. It's really annoying and I wish I knew how I can fix this.
Thanks for your honest reply.

I think it's good, I like your shape :) Hairs and extensions look fine.
I think loosing weight (if you want) and HRT will always help. I don't know if you already have it, but this would be what I would work on next ^^

I'm not sure the one-eyed hair style is doing you any favours. I agree with Sebby that your eyes are one (okay, two) of your best features. You don't want to hide them.
Thank You @Sebby Michelango & @KathyLauren
Thank You for the advise, on the body and physical features... Yeah I'm one of those unfortunate people that HRT did react that much to.
The one side of my hair being short was just an experiment, I plan to grow it back out.

How long has you been on HRT? I've heard estrogen would make you appear rounder, give you more breasts and curves. It would also soften the skin and the facial features. Body shape is a important thing for passing, but in my opinion the face is even more important. I associates soft round faces with a bit eyelashes, small nose and small ears with femininity.
More squareness and rough face=Masculine
Soft face with small features=Feminine
HRT= Softness
I've also heard it may take several years on HRT before bigger changes. Estrogen is weaker than testosterone, therefor it often takes longer time before it reacts. As long you have been under 2 years on HRT, you don't need to worry. But if you doesn't notice any big changes after 5 years at HRT, it's a sign you would not change more at HRT I believe. Then I have no advice. But I've heard if people go up in weight, they would get bigger boobs. I'm not sure that's true.

Hi, I have been on HRT for 18 months. So not a full 2 years yet. Half of which was Pill based, then Patch based and I am switching to Injections this upcoming Month to see if that can provide any benefits.
I agree on the face regards, my body I am okay and content with. Yes I wouldn't mind more hips, but on the whole I am fine. If/When I can afford FFS I plan to get FFS. Which might be some time as I have the only Job based income in my house, my SO is disabled and gets a small check from SSI Dis.
Yeah weight would help, I've been working on that but I'm one of those people that just can't gain weight. Tried everything, even went to like 3-4K calories a day for a few months. Not much change except a 5-7lb float here and there.

I wish you good luck at your journey. :) I really hope you finds good surgeon, since you're considering FFS. Maybe you can start a YouTube channel and get many watchers. If you get popular enough at YouTube, you can start a Fund me to make extra money to the FFS. Just a advice. I've heard there are many good surgeons, but I can't their names.
I've been on HRT for 9 months now. Usually, seeing my reflection in the mirror really messes with my head, but this is the first pic I've ever taken where I've been able to glimpse the real me. Early days, but exciting ones!

You're not passing 100% yet. Your brow bridge and your nose makes passing harder for you. It's more masculine than rest of your face. Your head shape is fine and you don't need to worry about that. I can see your skin has soften as well at HRT. My best advice for passing better is doing your eyebrows. Straight eyebrows make you appear more masculine than arch one.
It's been awhile since I have posted in this thread. I'm now at almost 7 months HRT. Am I passing in these pictures?

Thank you for your honest feedback, Sebby, it's really appreciated. At 49, I'm not expecting HRT to have a profound effect on my face, so surgery is likely at some point.

Your body begin to be more feminine and that's good. But you aren't 100% passing in the face. From long distance, it's easier for you to pass than closer distance. At picture 1 you look convincing enough to pass. But at the other picture you has some revealing features. Example your nose and forehead has something masculinity in it. It's not so easy to be exactly, because it's not easy to put word in it. I just find some features more masculine than others without knowing why. Maybe because I see some features more often at men and other features more often at women. I don't know.
Not just passing, Rachel, but beautiful!
And, Sebby, I respectfully disagree, few, if any, women have absolutely no masculine features or visa versa.

Well on the second pictures she might have more masculine features but for the first and fourth one she look like an average women to me.
Not everyone get this "dolly female shape" but you certainly look female in red on the fourth picture :) I often see women with large/long forehead like your.
Try to keep more hair on both side Rachel, it will fade your jaw a bit and let your beautiful smile shine even more :)

You passed much better with that long hair (wig). But it's good you're trying to grow your own hair. Your bang starts to look fine. The hair at the side would be nice, when they growth longer. I recommend you having the bang as you have it now, but with long hair at the side. Maybe you can add some volume in it, so it stays feminine.

Hoho don't I know it. Took me 3 years to get upper waist length hair. Just treat it well and get ttrims and tidy ups every couple months or so and you should be good. :)

The overall impression is def very feminine imo.
Imo you look gorgeous.
There may be some features which some people might consider masculine as pointed out on the other page.
It makes for a very attractive look imo.
Look at Sandra Bullock. She is also said to have a few unusual features which can be very attractive.

Imo you might try to cover the whole forehead and brows.
Many transgender people do this, it can make for a big change.
You might look up pictures of Isley Reust as an example.
Black clothing tends to hide surface.
People associate automatically feminine when they see boobies.
So if you wear a brighter colour for blouses it might optically add some volume .
There are clipin extensions available which can make for longer hair quickly.
They are available in good quality as real hair. Its possible to look up tutorials on youtube on how to apply them.
They are nor pricey and can be taken off during the night.
Depending on mood only a few can be worn, or the whole set.
They allow for ventilation and after a few minutes of wearing its well possible it feels natural.
*hugs*
For hair growth one of the few remedies that really seem to help are biotin supplements.
I would look for organic sources.
There are supplements with zinc which helps nail growth but zinc seems to aid testosterone.
I read an article on wikipedia where people stated additional hair growth of 60% or more.
There were a few people who really measured growth each month.
Well in mm its not that much but it adds up over months.
And well imo a healthy nutrition also helps.
*hugs*

Hi, so HRT is moving closer and closer, and all I can do it look att /r/transtimelines and try to compare myself to others. This only makes me nervous, scared, and almost lose hope of ever passing. I don't think I can judge myself properly because I've always been very hard on myself to the point where I'm never satisfied with anything.
I'm 23 years old and pre-everything, and just using a cheap wig in the pictures because my hair is still growing.

You could try to cover brows and forehead more, for example fixing the hair with pins, making a nice bang all over the forehead,
A lipstick in unobtrusive colours ...
the body is really nice imo ...
I'd say just give it some time, and there are also other things ... voice ... mannerism ...
just try to feel like a girl inside and it will show in gait and mannerism ... not exaggerated but naturally ...
imo it will all improve over time :)

I was also thinking bangs once my hair is long enough because I have a big forehead. Good to hear someone agrees. What do you think of clear lip gloss? I've never been much of a lipstick fan. One very big worry I've always had is my big chin, do you think that will be a problem, or rather would I need FFS?

You're not passing at all yet, with that kind of hair. If you want to look convincing, I recommend you
strongly using hair/wigs that looks realistic. I know I sound boring and expensive. But you doesn't come far with something that doesn't look 100% realistic. People would get thoughts about it's not real and they would think you're not passing well. The main thing is which kind of hairstyle and wigs you has.
HRT can do wonders. So on HRT, you may pass well, you may. But now you're not passing yet. But your body seems nice and promising. That would turn out feminine at HRT and you're lucky who hasn't a masculine body that some people may have.
PS! You should be patient and be at least on HRT for a couple of years before considering FFS.

I don't know how much the wig was but its possible to give wigs a hair cut.
You could look up pictures of Isley Reust. She also has blonde hair, trimmed exactly to cover the brows.
This is part of the region some FFS procedures change. So covering that area can really make a change.
You can start with simple lip balm in the beginning.
Lip gloss is another possibility.
And as said lipstick in unobtrusive colours.
Too colourful lipstick might rather look artificial in the beginning.
For the chin you could start with a nourishing product, like coconut oil. It gives a groomed look.
Later you could try some liquid foundation.
I'd prefer organic products .. they are better for the skin. Maybe only a few but good products in the beginning.
Together with some volumizing mascara it could give a rather good impression already.
As said ... just give it some time ... try to improve a few things... and if on hrt things are supposed to change a bit still ...
I'd say you do not need to think about FFS yet.
*hugs*

Don't think restyling the wig is possible unfortunately. It was just a 10 dollar wig I got from a random party store simply to try long blonde hair, and it's incredibly uncomfortable to wear after a while so not going to wear it outside.
Thanks for the tip. I will have to do a lot of research because I'm still really, really, really bad at makeup, creams... and all other styling products basically. I've always had short hair, never really wore makeup, and never bothered with creams so I have a lot to learn. Hopefully I can stay stay in boymode for a couple of years so I have time to learn everything :D

A nourishing product for the face can already make a difference, for example jojoba or coconut oil based.
And maybe you can get something similar at your place ...

there is volumizing mascara which gives lashes a bigger look ...
there are quite a few hints for beginners at susans ...

The second picture is really nice.
I'd say keep on ... try a few things...
for a better wig you might have a look at ebay.
Sometimes there are people who sell real hair wigs which were rarely used ...
I'd simply look for reputable sellers...

Yes yes be cool about it, make it out all macho like lord of the rings or braveheart! People love that! And when the time comes bam your a princess and none ever suspected :)
Thats how I've done it!
My hairs pretty long already! :')
So I know the wig I was using is horrible, but I don't think anyone mentioned my face. Does it look ok apart from the crooked nose (was hit by a car when I was out cycling so will just have to live with that). Tried to look as neutral and boring as possible.

(I know it doesn't pass, do can it in the future with the help of HRT?)
I'm not sure how it would turn on HRT. I'm afraid it wouldn't be 100%. You're not passing and your face says you has a Y back the X in the chromosomes; XY. Your face goes so long down and often guys have bigger face than women. Your large forehead and your big nose are a bit masculine as well. So it would be hard for HRT to change your whole face to a more feminine version. It may be better, but it may not. From what I see, it's a though road you have to go through.

Oh well, good to have my worries confirmed at least. Now I can stop being so anxious over it all the time. Will have to wait and see if a good hairstyle and makeup can help, otherwise I'm just going to have to stay in boy mode until I can get FFS.

Hey so I recently just started makeup this is my fifth try. I was wondering what you guys think and advice would be appreciated. I'm still pre everything.
Fifth time with cheap wig:

And one from today from a different angle. Can really see how cheap the wig is:

Your makeup is not bad. But it would turn better if you could do your eyebrows. It would look better with a arch, instead of straight thick eyebrows, because it would make you appear more feminine. That cheap wig you wear doesn't look convincing at all. If you want to pass, you should get a realistic wig that is nicer to look at. That wig you wear is a mess. You don't pass yet. The main reason is the wig. People can see you're wearing a wig and it would be harder to be taken seriously if you go to work with that one. You have still some masculine features in your face, but on HRT it would turn better and more feminine.

Any input will be helpful!
You're on a good way and you have a feminine look. But you would pass easier with a bit longer hair. You doesn't pass 100% yet, but it's not far away.

I think you should be at least 1 or 2 years at HRT before considering FFS. :)

Thanks, a friend gave me the wig for free while I wait for the wig I ordered which is better quality to come in. It's still like 2-3 weeks away ): I can't really work on my eyebrows either yet without my family noticing.

Your family can't decide what you want to do with your eyebrows and hair. It's your body. Especially when you're a adult, they can't decide over your style. :)

Oh I wouldn't worry so much about it! Your face can change sometimes quiet drasticly on HRT!
A good hairstyle and good make up does wonders
Remember 90% of the female population is covering something with make up anyway.
Let you hair grow out, and I think with a full fringe could suit you!
Definitly don't worry anyway, that wont attain anything anyway!
Goodluck, Christine

I am going to be brutally honest with you...Right now you look typically masculine and I'm afraid HRT won't be enough for you to pass. Your shot isn't really flattering, it looks like yyou have a long face and a large nose, and protuding brow bossing. HRT helps with fat distribution around cheeks and eyes, but won't change the former. You will most likely need FFS to pass facially. This is why starting young has its advantages. However, I see no beard shadow, so that's something really going on for you. Passing also encompasses body structure which will be changed by HRT, and voice, as well as your natural mannerisms.
Hi :) I went a bit mad with the camera again lol! Although no more timer-chair-selfies. That's a thing. Honestly, it's so a thing now. Hope you like them ;)

To me you don't pass but you show some potential. I like the hair color on you but the wig is a no and the outfit is too much for daytime. (If that's what you were planning on wearing it for). Also i would suggest you wait a little while longer for HRT to brake down some of the masculine features in your face. (6 months minimum) Again you do show potential but as of now? No, you don't pass. I hope i'm not coming off mean or rude but just trying to help. I see so many clocky girls who rush going full-time without actually giving their bodies a chance to change. While in the end only end up getting their self-esteem crushed when they go out in public too soon. I don't want anyone saying anything rude to you in the real world. People are cruel and transitioning is like 2nd puberty. Passing and change won't happen over night.
I'v been hesatating on actually putting a Few pics of me on here, but I'v gathered courage and I'm going to do it
I will delete these in few days though!
How is my passability coming along?

Oh and never mind my hair extensions, not being dyed, but it shows good contrast to how long my actual hair is! What do you think?
Hi Christine, I think you look great. Are you on HRT? If you are then I wouldn't be surprised if your features will soften a bit more. Were you also thinking of losing or gaining a bit of weight?
A bit of weight wouldn't hurt. However, to each their own.
Passability, I'll give you 7/10. Hope this motivates you!

Hi Christine, I think you look great. Are you on HRT? If you are then I wouldn't be surprised if your features will soften a bit more. Were you also thinking of losing or gaining a bit of weight?
A bit of weight wouldn't hurt. However, to each their own.
Passability, I'll give you 7/10. Hope this motivates you!
Thanks April!, I'm not on HRT yet, should be in July, I can't wait!
And yes I will hopefully regain abit of weight when I get on HRT, right now I'm simply trying to maintain a blank canvas for when July comes :')
Hugs, Christine :)
Had my second appointment with my therapist and he says I can go ahead and start the hormone process. Eek! I felt pretty today so here's a pic. And, found an old pair of my wife's glasses, Sebby!

So so. In the middle, ambiguous.
I feel like the more i transition the more feminine I feel but why is it that the mirror makes you feel so much more feminine than when you look at yourself in pictures, i don't understand, anyway here is my most recent selfie.

To me you don't pass but you show some potential. I like the hair color on you but the wig is a no and the outfit is too much for daytime. (If that's what you were planning on wearing it for). Also i would suggest you wait a little while longer for HRT to brake down some of the masculine features in your face. (6 months minimum) Again you do show potential but as of now? No, you don't pass. I hope i'm not coming off mean or rude but just trying to help. I see so many clocky girls who rush going full-time without actually giving their bodies a chance to change. While in the end only end up getting their self-esteem crushed when they go out in public too soon. I don't want anyone saying anything rude to you in the real world. People are cruel and transitioning is like 2nd puberty. Passing and change won't happen over night.
I would say It also depends on the area and where you go. I go out when ever I want for the most part and no one says anything.
Could always make a profile on a dating website and see how many messages you get from guys. Would be a good way of telling if you pass or not. That's what I do sometimes.

That's so true! I don't understand it either, one thing I do know though is that cameras lie. They pick up on things which the human eye doesn't, and although your self image when you look in the mirror can be distorted by your brain, it is more likely to be an accurate representation of how you actually look.
So go out there and be gorgeous.
P.S. You are super cute :-)

Longer hair and some makeup and you got it I think.
Took me so long to get the courage to do this. I'm doomed right? (Thought since its Transgender Visibility Day and all...)

Don't hesitate to ask others opinions ... a few hints might be helpful ..
Pic 1 your accessoires are great and make for a very good overall picture ... necklace and blouse ...
Pic 2 you might try to cover forehead and brows with hair ... there are extensions in different sizes, and they can be cut like normal hair ...
Pic 3 great clothing great posture. Your muscles should decrease a bit on hormones. Doing a few regular exercises like walking could help with a well toned body.
Pic 4 nice
Pic 5 you could try to kind of feel like a girl inside ... just feel it . It shows in mannerism and posture, making for a natural posture. In the pic you look a bit stiff . I'd say try to relax, and just be yourself.
Weight I think will come by itself. Just eat what you crave on hrt, preferring healthy food.
*hugs*

Thanks Laura!! :'3
Yes my camera does skew the image abit up close, though I have toyed with the idea of a full fringe! But I love quiffs! I know they lengthen the face, but even the genetic females in my family have long faces!
Oh a being stiff? I am a stiff though... haha as soon as the camera is on me I never know how to sit! I was always awkward with the camera
Thank you again Laura :)
Love, Christine.

You are pretty :)
You might show some cleavage ...
and dark colours tend to hide surface.
Wearing light coloured blouses might make boobies look bigger ... and people associate boobies with femininity.
Its like an unconscious checklist. if some signs of boobies are present people are more likely to presume female.

I'm kind of looking for confirmation... But mostly i want to know if i could go out in public with this makeup and hair so i would appreciate it if you where honest :)
You don't pass yet. You has the potential, but have still much work to do. Example HRT. Your brow bridge and your nose is a bit masculine still. HRT would maybe soften your features, so that may help you a bit. You has come far with the hair. :)

You don't pass yet. You has still some rough features, but HRT may soften it a bit. You also have a long face. I associate some length with masculine, because I've seen more men than women with so long face. My best advice is doing your eyebrows and go on HRT.

You pass very well. You have a feminine hairstyle and face. Your nose is a bit masculine, but not so much that it would destroy the passing. :)

With stubble and short hair you would not pass at all. My best advice is remove all the facial hair, grow your hair a bit longer and doing your eyebrows. Your eyebrows are very straight and that make you appear much more masculine, including your facial hair. HRT would help a lot indeed.

You pass at the second picture. You look average woman feminine. At picture one you looks more androgynous.

I found the pic I was looking for. You remind me some of Eva Green.
The best way to cover beard shadow is to buy an orange tint makeup. Since orange is good at contrasting blue. You put some orange around bread shadow area then blend inward. After doing this use foundation. Make sure u het a lightest one your skin matches. Then use a slightly darker one to put a bad of around the hair line and under cheeckbone from by end of ear and dab on the bridge of your nose. Then place dabs of the lighter on on the sides of your nose under your eyes. And covering all the orange mustache beard. Dont forget to put a little down the sides of your neckin the front. Then blend everything together with a brush. After doing this use a light powder fountaon over and pat down your face over the cream based ones. After this do your eyeshadow. Eye shadow is best broken into four groups. The outer edge of the lid the middle then innner esge and finally, the space between eyelid and eyebrow. Then put on eyeliner on top and follow the waterline undernearth. I reccomend only doing half way undernear and very very thin. Then you can do mascara and blush... very light on the blush as well as its not popular much anymore but its great to hightlight cheeckbone expessially if you have high cheekbones.. again very light finally lipstick and your going to look fabulous. Sorry for the spelling types this on my phone. I know a lot more of makeup tips but its is a crash course of how makeup being done to make it look great.. invest in a setting spray to hold everything on. Good luck. Id love to see some pictures of people who try this technique in comparasion to their own techniques.
I just want to stop by and say thank you PrincessLulu for the amazing suggestion!
Have been looking for a good method to hide shadow for a while. Going to have to try that out and see what happens.

Thanks Sebby, I know the long horse head is hard to hide :/
And unfortuneatly I cant do my eye brow just yet, those hairy things :@
I am very thin at the moment so I have lost fat in my face, I go on HRT in July, then I will hopefully pug on weight in the right places!, thanks for the comment
Hugs, Christine.

you have potential. but you're not passing. Your facial shape and beard shadow make you readable. If you do hair renmoval and go on HRT, I can see this greatly improving. You also happen to have gorgeous eyes.

I'd say you pass well :)
You are pretty :)
You might show some cleavage ...
and dark colours tend to hide surface.
Wearing light coloured blouses might make boobies look bigger ... and people associate boobies with femininity.
Its like an unconscious checklist. if some signs of boobies are present people are more likely to presume female.
*hugs*
Thankyou Laura 😊😊😊 , so kind, I know exactly what you mean and your so right but unfortunately I do not have that confidence yet so always tend to wear black up top 😩.
for a first try Boo..that is awesome :)

Well you could wear your black top ...
ad a nice feminine blouse above ... maybe one with roses printed on it ... or another nice pattern ...
if you really like it it will show in posture and give you some confidence :)
You could try a few clothes you feel really comfortable in :)

I found the pic I was looking for. You remind me some of Eva Green.
We have alpha and omega. Eva Green looks like one from Venus, but she on Susan's place look more like a version who have been on both sides. Have a brain from Venus, but are born on Mars.

Your exactly right Hunni! I couldn't agree more! the clothing does give you confidence, I've just recently left working at H&M after nearly five years and am now working for another clothing company, the problem is I go for plain tops and skinny jeans as to not stand out just incase I get clocked so go for the safe option. Yes it isn't a gender specific outfit but wearing nice printed outfits like you suggest may draw more attention as women always look at the competition so I may be outed.
If I was confident in that I thought I passed then yeah give me that type of clothing any day ! I've got loads I've bought but never worn !!! Hehee
But yeah I can totally see where your coming from I'm just scared I suppose😊😊😊 Thankyou

I need to head into the mall and want to do so like this. Can I get away with it? The lighting is purposely not great as I won't have lights blasting into my face in the mall. Will anyone give me a double take? What about store assistants if I don't look straight at them.
I'm kinda Waiting for your input to head out so short answers will do!

A longer Top and a little looser around the hips would be good, and maybe a jacket or cardigan loosly on top and you'd be alright, I think
Nice bag too!! ;)
Goodluck!
Thanks! It's from Zara! I've been loving the whole Fendi accessory thing, but they're too expensive, so I love that Zara is trying this out!
I did end up going out with that, not sure if i got looked at too much. I wasnt looking up too much, as my beard shadow & the fact that i'm using a wig really get to me. Clothing wise I'm not often too concerned, as - after all you get women in all shapes and sizes, and I think i'm pretty down with my body.
Its the face that always kills me. I'm 3 laser session in, and have yet to see any reduction in my beard shadow, especially in the lips & chin area.
Can't wait till I can go out without 50 layers of makeup and my real hair.

Oh who cares anyway what they think! And its very true, people have a very skewed image of what a woman should be, even we fall victim to that! Damn Candice and her hips *shakes fist*... but anyway
I'v not started lasser either, waiting for HRT first!
Maybe the shadow takes a while because the remenants of roots must be absorbed by the body and maybe the hair pores will close up after a while? I know nothing about it, but id suspect this may be the case!
Yes with hair you should be quiet good!
All in time my dear! :)
Hugs, Christine.
Thanks Christine! (Btw - if you havent started HRT and that is your display picture I am deathly jealous of you). Honestly if I was anywhere else in the world I wouldnt care as much, but! Being in a predominantly muslim country - well passing becomes a lot more important. What's more because i'm still closeted trans. Further more, i'm pretty sure that If one can pass, and is en-femme passing, and you walk past someone who might know you they probably wont recognize you, unless you call attention to yourself (such as by not passing).

Aww, :') Thank you!, yes I have to wait till July. :/ may get it bumped forward if I'm lucky though!
Ah I understand then so, yes I'm not sure how its viewed in Muslim countrys, unfortunatly, I can't imagine good!
Look after yourself then out ther!

Hey guys! I'd finally like to post something and get feedback! But I'm more concerned about my body shape than my face since I still have a way to go in that department! So, is active wear with a sports bra top allowed? I would really like feedback on my shoulders and hip to waist ratio but IDK if I'm allowed to do that way. Thanks!!

Im not a moderator so I'm not sure, but I can't see how that wouldn't be allowed!

Not really asking if I pass or not because I am far too early in my transition (only around 5 months) and I don't wear makeup and I'm not necessarily trying to present since I'm still working on hair removal and such. I'm 43 years old and hope to be fully out and about living full time as soon as I am done with laser hair reduction. Hopefully I do this right and the pictures show up properly.
This is my absolute favorite wig. :)

This thread is about if you pass or not. But there are some "I look fabulous" threads at Susan's place that is made so you can post so many picture you want to without getting comments about passing abilities. If you don't want comments about passing, I recommend you the other thread more than this one. :)
Probably should have said something more along the lines of I am not sure if I am ready to ask if I pass or not because of how early I am in my transition... that would have been better. It would be nice to get some opinions as to how I am progressing though, especially considering my age and lack of makeup.

I think wearing a bit of makeup will help you with your presentation. I think most women wear it and some just deny it to make it appear they are natural :) sigh lol
Anyways, I think your hair suits you in both pictures. It just gives you a different look and attitude.
First pic, looks like you are just regular gal - more mainstream.
Second pic, looks funky with lots of attitude. It reminds me of Pink.
Good luck and I think you are ready to go out there.

(I've no idea if I have commented to you before or not. If I have wrote to you before, I may have forgot it. But I guess I've commented how much pass or not abilities you had earlier)
You have something "suspecting" with you. Your face is round and feminine from this angle. I'm not sure how you look from other angle, so I can't comment that. But your nose is a bit large and that means masculine. But the main thing that are revealing are your amount of makeup. A bit makeup is a good thing. But when you use too much, it looks like you're hiding something and that make you look more suspecting. You do kinda pass. I can't see you're trans, but it seems like you're hiding on something. It's smart to use makeup, but not too much. If the skin looks more natural, you wouldn't get so many stares.
So, here I am again sans makeup. I sometimes get "mistaken" for a girl by strangers. What do you think?

You have beautiful eyes.
You could try some bangs covering the forehead, fixed with hairpins ...
you could try a nourishing product on the face, like coconut oil ...
and you could try lip balm or a chapstick.
Those make for a groomed look which people associate with femininity.
Show some cleavage :)
Alone a deeper cut out shirt makes for some cleavage.
Ligher colours of blouses make for more optical volume there.
*hugs*
Thanks, Laura! I do try to pull my hair into a sideswept bang most of the time. Here's an example, excuse the Mountain Dew:

I think I pass really well when I have makeup on, but I'm mostly interested in what you all think of my face without any effort put into it. I'll post some makeup shots sooner or later.
You look much happier now :)
You could look up photos of Isley Reust. She has her hair cut exactly to cover brows and forehead. Would that be a possibility ?
Advantage would be no more hassle with hairstyle. The hairs fall naturally that way.
Another one to fix the hair a bit with pins.
You might give it a try, it might make a real difference. Just trying out :)
Imo the hint with a nurturing product is not much hassle either. Its a short few minutes to spread some oil on the face and usually its noticeable throughout the day. And its nourishing for the skin. It can make for a really good impression.
Imo you pass in the first picture.
*hugs*

Emma, if people think you are female in public, that is much more validation than you will get here. I think you will be lovely. I generally hate to comment in these threads but I do monitor them. So, from me, let me just say you are doing very well.
Thanks so much, Laura, haeden, and Cindi. I know that I'm not a picture perfect success story yet, and I probably never will be, but I think my results so far are pretty dramatic. Most days I can't even see a boy anymore.

Yeah of course! You look amazing. I personally don't think you need any makeup or anything you are already pretty attractive now! Definitely one of the girls I'd look at and be like "how does she just wake up like that?! Rude!" lol

Aw, you're all so sweet. Yes I'll be piercing my ears very soon. Well, I'll actually only need to pierce my right ear. I pierced my left when I was young, and the hole is still open even though I haven't worn anything in it for a decade.
It's so awesome to finally be at a point where I can say I accomplished something, that things aren't hopeless. But trust me, haeden, some days I get out of bed looking dreadful. :D
Hahaha I'm sure you look great! I hope whoever house get go pierce your ear doesn't use a gun. Those hurt far more than the needle

I think you'll do great, especially when you get the girl juice pumping through you :icon_chick:
Hugs
I think you look really great, Christine! HRT will definitely help you put on weight. I've put on 10lbs without any effort.
Emma, that was an amazing change, congratulations! If you pass as cis in public then that's awesome, and yes you pass to me, 100% :) And I agree that you have beautiful eyes!
Christine, wow, so so pretty! I think you're doing great now, and you're not on HRT yet, right? When you get HRT things will get even better, you'll see :) but you're doing good now :) I'd suggest getting your eyebrows a bit thinner though, it'd help feminizing you more :)
Aw, thanks jossum. It's really wonderful to hear that.
Christine, you look like you can pass well already! Not even on HRT? It will only get easier for you :D
You look nice, its like a classy look.
I'd say you pass.
I still think with covering the forehead a bit more, like moving the wave over the head forward a bit would look even a bit more nice.
But imo it looks good, and your accessoires are very nice and helpful.
*hugs*
Thank you all guys n girls!
I keep my diet as is for now, when I'm finally on HRT! I can eat then! :')
I will see about my fringe later, I'm not sure about? I love quiffs and my hair off my face in general!
My eyebrows are terrible yes, even here theyr are covered over with make up! They are even worse normaly! :')
I really hope my hips and ass gain some weight
My hips have no fat!, I mean ther is a millimeter of flesh over my hip bones. Should be started in July, they really better not hold me off :@
Thank you all, :3 *hugs*

You're doing well, especially since you're pre-HRT. But you're still not passing 110% as a cis women. I gave you the reasons in a earlier comment. So I don't think it's necessary to repeat that.

You look a lot like my niece. Same hair and makeup. Not sure how tall you are, my niece is like 5', but with HRT your going to be fabulous.

Yea Sebbby I know, I will see what I can do! :')
And Stevie thank you, that really makes me happy hearing that :3
And Haeden, Thank you, I'm hoping to gain fat around my hips and theigh area! Once HRT happens I will be able to eat and train more, I think even training in any sort of way now would boost T, and I'm scared of that, need to squat and train core :)
Thanks again all!
Hugs, Christine

Ah okay so you want a nice butt? Nothing wrong with that and it would look nice on you. I personally think you pass pretty well as female I wouldn't think much of it. There's plenty of skinny girls with no fat anywhere on them just look at the modeling world or T. Swift. To me you look great. You and Emma are hot!
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Stunning hair/makeup outfit and well everything Christine :) I think you pass really well.
Wow Emma, huge change. Your totally beautiful and pass no probs! X
Thanks, Moomin. :)
Yes Haeden, the butt is what I'm after :'3
I appreciate the comments :)
And thank you too Moomin, I love my hair up, though alot think it would be better as a fringe, I'm not sure, I'd look like my mother then :L
Hugs, Christine
I love how you have your hair Christine, I wouldn't change a thing. It shows off your lovely femmy features. It's good to get advice from people, and peeps on this forum are the best. But sometimes you just have to rock things your own way. :) Oh and HRT did wonders for my bum. My weight gain has gone on bum/thighs/face/boobs, no reason you wouldn't too X
All my friends warned me not to cut my hair and keep a fringe to cover my forehead. I decided to do it anyway and haven't had any problems passing. :angel:

Aw thanks moomin! :'3
I would never cut my hair short, as I would be feared of my passing then
But you can pull short hair, thats great!
Your forhead is perfectly female! I know plenty girls that have more forehead than you or me!
Im a little paranoid about it, but then in our predicament we will always over judge anyway!
And the ass gains youve made is amasing!,.
I hope atain something simiar! :3

You suits the blonde hair more. But it's not impossible for you passing with short hair either. You're doing it alright. By the way, you look more alike Ty Turner with shorter hair. :)
Thank you Christine ;) Yes i think we tend over think these things sometimes. Short hair isn't for everyone, but i want to be read as a queer girl. Since like 90% of my friends are lesbians, i actually blend better with short hair :)
Hehe thanks Sebby, I'll take that! I know i can always count on you to tell it as you see it :) im a natural blonde, so it does suit me.
Here's a couple of pics I took today (I know, they're really pouty). Honest critiques please and any tips very welcome......I still haven't had the go ahead for HRT (the Psychiatrist gave the green light in his report, so I'm just waiting on the doc now) so these are pre-anything medical except I've been on Avodart for a while for hair growth (starting to really make a difference, but as it's a work in progress, clearly it's a wig in the pics), and I've had about 9 sessions of laser on my face now which has made a HUGE difference to the beard shadow. Anyway, let me know your opinions please! Sarah x

Your face do pass. But from your neck and down you don't pass. Perhaps your body pass with clothes, but not without. Especially not as a adult woman. Your body is too masculine for that due flat chest. But you have a good potential.
So I'm gonna change it up and post a video I did to get feedback on my voice. This was at like 5am in a bathrobe, no makeup, having had laser yesterday so my face is irritated. How would you read me? Gender me please.

You're not passing 110%, especially not as a cis woman.
Your browbridge, nose and 5 o'clock color reveals a bit, therefor you're not passing 110%. That's my honest reply.

Your voice aren't passing 100%. I can hear a revealing timbre in your voice. But you're doing your voice alright. It's not very dark or masculine. I can hear and see you're not cis.

Hi Joanna,
Sorry - it wasn't my intention to titillate...would be nice to know I could though haha! No worries re the pics, I'll repost below, cropped. It was my face I wanted opinions on anyway. Laser's made a difference I hope - minimal make up (except the lips obv) here, and hopefully the hairy monstrosity that used to be my face has been tamed quite a bit.

From a long distance's view you have a great chance to pass. :) You're doing it alright.
Thanks everyone this is my before electorysis starting photo
Yesterday I went to a coffeeshop after seeing my therapist who said I present very well and very confidently - although I assure you that I don't feel that confident! In any case nothing bad happened, as a friend of mine says I pass too. Here's a pic...

I don't normally post on this thread but I am coming up to 6 years into my transition very soon. Please remember I have always been on a lose dose of E and that's it, no AA's ever as I wanted to have a family (something my wife and I have achieved) so I could have had a faster transition but I've really enjoyed taking it slow. So what do you think??

If you don't think I pass, please be warned I don't care. I am very happy with the way I look and wouldn't change anything for anyone. As confrontational as that may sound, don't take it the wrong way, just some of the responses to my last contribution to this thread were a little, shall we say, unhelpful.
Oh yeah, and I didn't wear the slippers for work, I did put some shoes on haha. I'd show you my wedding dress but the only picture I have is of the fitting and my hair was very different then, for various reasons my wife and I got married last year but we are having a wedding ceremony on our first anniversary which is coming up, will post up pics after our 'proper wedding' dresses and ceremony and all :) But you could tempt me to show you the dress if you're nice :D

You could tone down the lipstick a little bit.

You could tone down your lipstick. The color is too strong and visible, something that may make you more suspected. It's not so easy for people to guess if you're trans or not. But they may suspecting you for hiding something, even thought you doesn't necessary do it.
If I look away from your masculine nose, rest of your face are feminine. So it's not hard for you to pass.

That was fitted up when I had a fringe and my hair was a little shorter and blonder. I've aged too haha. Those pics are from about 16 months ago when I bought the dress. I had my final fitting prior to adjustments last week with my shoes and I'm proud to say the dress fits me even better than it did then which is good as it's a zip back :) I love it and I've never seen a dress like it!!
Absolutely love the dress and you look lovely! I like the more natural smile in the second picture.

You pass better at picture 2 than 1. You have a masculine head shape, facial features and expression at booth pictures, but you have still a more feminine expression at the second one. You pass better at picture 2 because the nice shaped body, the dress and the hair are feminine. Your arms look feminine and nice too. I think the bang helps you a bit with the passing ability. Without the bang, your forehead looks indeed more rough and manly. HRT would soften your face after several years perhaps.
Do you pass? Not in my opinion. You don't pass yet.

HRT would soften your face after several years.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I read that she already is on HRT. Regardless, I think you should stop assuming things you are unaware of, because the way you're phrasing your advice now is kind of insulting this way.
I agree with you Galyo and the way Sebby says things does make me cringe often... but in his defense... and he has pointed this out... this thread title is Do I Look or Could I pass as Female.... and if you post here it is assumed you are asking that very question. There are other threads just to post your pics, and not get brutal truths handed your way. I also believe that his culture and manner of speaking is just a bit more forward and honest than most of us are used to.
Sebby is honest and gives advice and specifics on what to change/de-emphasize/work on for people who don't pass.
So basically......
BURN HIM AT THE STAKE
LoL, c'mon people; look at the thread you're in.

Indeed; this is an advice thread and I personally value brutally honest opinions a lot. It was his assuming that she wasn't on HRT yet, which seemed a little unnecessarily rude to me (perhaps by accident).
QuoteSebby is honest and gives advice and specifics on what to change/de-emphasize/work on for people who don't pass.
Again: his honesty is not the issue here. It's the phrasing in his last comment that seemed to assume a little too much in my opinion. It's the same as saying "maybe you should consider putting on make-up someday" to somebody who JUST said she's using make-up. It's disheartening and frankly kind of insulting, no matter the intent.
This isn't the first time Sebby posted something along those lines either.
Yall are being ridiculous. This thread NEEDS more people like sebby. I don't get how any of you think his mean in any regard? All the things he says is accurate and straight to the point. you guys are being way to sensitive. If you think he's being "mean" then good luck in the real world. Id rather people like sebby say hey "you look like a dude in a wig. I don't think it's right for you to go full time right now. Here is what you need to work on" Then someone call me a T-slur or something worse when I walk outside. This is the do I pass thread not the hey let's hold hands and sing kumbya thread. Sebby is one of the few keeping the integrity of this thread alive. Don't post if you don't want the truth/advice.

*sigh*
Being honest does not justify being insulting. Sebby wasn't just being honest, he was being insulting. -_-
Assuming somebody's not on HRT because she has masculine features in your opinion *IS* insulting.If I wanted insults hurled at me, I'd walk to a Trump-rally in girl-mode. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY is having issues with honesty here! -_-
Jeez, I already feel sorry about commenting about it. I had a hunch this was going to be taken completely out of context by some people.
Personally From what I've read of Sebby's post's he gives his unique perspective be it sometimes seemingly harsh , but I believe he's trying to help in his own way and as others have pointed out you should be able to except opinions because that's all they are. It's definitely better than the constant your gorgeous , your beautiful method. I myself kind of look like a mutation , but I really could give a crap .

:police: Back on topic. If you post in this thread, you need to expect that you may be unhappy with the review. Beauty and passing are personal judgements and sometimes subject to error. If you don't wish to be judged harshly don't post in this thread. The moderators keep an eye on the thread and should somebody be to far out of line with their judgement, action will be taken. :police:

You have made awesome progress Shawn :icon_chick: Quite impressive
Hugs
Unbelievable how my comment is STILL being misunderstood...
Ontopic: SashaGrace, I think you look great in that dress, and even though I think you still show some masculinity in your photo's, I DON'T assume that you're not on hormones because of it.
I think we need to move forward and have a rebirth maybe even a virgin birth and start fresh.
how about critique me
I never said the person hasn't began on HRT. If I assumed that, I would say to them they should start HRT. But I said it would take several years on HRT before it works. That means it can takes up to five years. I still struggle a bit with my English. I could formulate it in a better way in my first language. Often 2 years on HRT aren't enough. Some react so late at it, it would take much more time. T works much faster and are much stronger than E.
My comment: "HRT would soften your face after several years" that means you have to be at it long time.
Since this thread is about passing, I think honestly is important. I don't want to lie. If you post a picture in a "I look fabulous" thread, you would get a different reply.
Thought I'd post some new ones. Just a casual day with an appointment to the VA.

Beautiful dress, I've fallen for it!!!
But, you pass in photo 2-3 but not so much in 1
To clear up as I see I've caused a bit of a stir...
I refer anyone who has questions about my HRT consumption back to my first photo on page 81, I've been on HRT for nearly 6 years, low dose of E, no AA's so my wife and I could have a natural family (which we do and is way more important to me than passing in the eyes of a few) my oestradiol level is just fine thanks.
The picture of me with my glasses on was to highlight my glasses to the poster who said she liked them and was a quick selfie, wasn't intended for critique really but never mind, in fact neither were the pictures of me in my wedding dress... Perhaps it's a little insensitive to tell a girl she doesn't pass when she's wearing her wedding dress but I don't care. Also nice to think I pass from behind haha.
I will say I'm thick skinned enough not to care in the slightest about not passing; my boss and work colleagues don't know I'm trans neither do any of the pupils I teach, I think in the real world where trans folk aren't super critiquing each other that says all you need to know. If you don't think I pass then fine, that's your opinion just don't feel bad when I ignore it. If you do think I pass then thanks very much, I appreciate it.
End of the day, my wife thinks I'm gorgeous and so do I so I'm fine with that, I'm not trying to pass as a woman, I'm just me. Like I said on page 81, this happened to me last time so I've double learned my lesson now, I'll keep my pics to myself from now on to save anymore thread derailment.
Please don't be funny with me guys, I quite like it here and not out to have a problem with anyone. Just want to clear the air as there's been some strong opinions the last few pages bought on by my photos so I thought I'd clear up a few things :)
Ta :)
I know I won't get the 100% pass from Sebby but what do y'all think:

One of me with longer hair, and a couple more with my short hair. What do you think?
I like the longer hair better but I think you'd look better if you went and got your eyebrows threaded/waxed or something cuz they stick out a little with the femme appearance as they are a little bushy/unkempt around the edges - the edge line needs to be smooth and crisp - this is what threading is good for. Some women can really pull off the thicker eyebrows but often times just getting them threaded will really "fine tune" the femininity of your face and make a huge difference because it smoothes the line out.

I know I won't get the 100% pass from Sebby but what do y'all think:

This was what I wore to my legal name change hearing a few days ago. I am now officially Rachel Anne Williams yay :)
Aside from your hair-line, I think you pass pretty well. Even so, I've seen cis-women with pretty high hair-lines as well.

At the middle picture and the picture at the right you pass fine. You are doing it fine at the picture to left too, but you are more feminine at the other pictures in your face. You're doing it good. :)
Took a picture before a date. Wish my cheeks would fill in and get rounder. Starting to get a little cleavage from hrt.

Rounded cheeks aren't everything. Women intentionally contour their makeup in order to get a sharp, angled cheek because the definition is a sign of beauty in our culture.

But, you pass in photo 2-3 but not so much in 1

You pass better at this picture than the earlier one.
Quote from: stephaniec on April 15, 2016, 11:24:30 PM
How about critique me?
You reminds a bit about my music teacher at my school, and she's cis. But maybe a bang would be something for you to cover a bit of your forehead, so you get a more feminine frame. I think you would appear even more feminine with a bang. The hairline is the most masculine thing with you, rest seems fine. I'm most strict with people under 40 when it comes to passing. I think people above some ageses looks more alike each other when it comes to gender. It's lesser difference between men and women faces in many cases when they have lived longer. In the childhood and in the age, where people have lived long the female and male faces become more alike each other than in the teenager, young and middle adult age.
I'll be honest, and possibly controversial. Sebby is, I believe, a trans-male, and I value his opinion both for his former life and his current one, because I figure if he thinks I look female, I probably really do.
That said, Sebby, I posted a pic on page 81 that went unremarked, I'd appreciate your opinion on it, since I was out in public and wonder if I passed as well as I thought.
I had posted awhile back asking Sebby's opinion and didn't get anything. So I will try again. I think I pass ok but I'm not sure how others view me....

I think you look passable, your wedding dress is beautiful and very flattering, and I love the lipstick color in the first picture. Uhm... I just think your wig looks very wiggy, especially the second one, I would tweeze and pluck some hair to make the hairline look more natural.

At the two first pictures you're doing it fine. I think you should get a bang that covering your forehead more. So you get a more feminine frame in your face. If I look away from that, I would say you pass at the two first pictures.
The third picture looks more suspected. You use too much makeup around your eyes, something that make you
reminding a bit about the drag queen's makeup technique. Except that, you're doing it fine.

Thanks :) But wiggy?? That's my hair!! With extensions in granted but it's my hair. My hair in the dress pic is mostly my hair but is the way it is due to scarring from a massive car crash I had a few years back and my hair doesn't grow in some places properly. It's healed up better now but I have to have extensions all the time to cover the patches up.
I love the wedding dress! :-*

Maybe the reason she believes your hair is a wig is because your hair looks stiff and your hairline looks suspected? At one of the pictures, it looks like your hairline is a wig. Real hair do usually go inside your skin at the scalp.
Example like this.

You are doing well, but the bangs aren't really suited for your face shape as they make your face look more square shaped. And your eyeglasses are making your face look more square shaped as well; so a different hairstyle and new glasses would make your face look more feminine.

I think you should consider a difference haircut. This haircut including square glasses makes your head even more square and masculine. Your head shape, glasses and nose are a bit manly. With a haircut that make you appear a bit rounder and changing the glasses may make you appear more feminine. Maybe you would pass then. Now you're able to "pass" as the masculine, even with long hair. That haircut you has was a knight's haircut from the early medieval time.

Okay everyone, I think I'm finally ready for some feedback! I'm curious to know what my shape looks like to others. I'm also unsure of how I appear from the side, I think my ribs or sholuders look big?? And if I have any features that really just stick out, I'd like to hear about them too! Thanks!! :D
Thanks for the honest opinions. I won't lie, it was really upsetting to hear but it is better than sugarcoating.
I honestly have no idea what to do with my hair, I originally tried a sideswept thing but it made my forehead look bigger so I tried to cover it with bangs. Really need some help figuring out what to do with it.
As for the glasses, I only just got them but I had a lot of help picking them out and they apparently suited me best - I like them so probably won't change them for now. As hair seems to be the main issue right now I'd be open for some suggestions.
Jean24,
my honest opinion:
you look like a young woman who has been very athletically active..perhaps gymnastics. I see nothing un-feminine there.

Your face will get rounder with hrt, anyway sweep your bangs to a side, also let your bangs/hair grow, because short bangs are really hard to pull off.

Another video. I've lost interest in posting selfies cuz it's easy to put on makeup, find good lighting, good angle, etc and make myself look pretty. What I care about now I guess is my passability in real life with my voice, which I feel is really the main thing holding me back from getting she/her pronouns.
I'm afraid I already know the answer to my question: I don't pass, at least not fully. I'm clockable.
Thank you V :')
And Rachel, I would so anything for a voice like that!
I'd say you are very nearly perfect!
I'd love to hear how you sounded before, keep up the good work.
Hugs, Christine

Both a two years on hormones comparison pic and a do I pass question. Seems that I do pass fairly consistently these days, but it's hard to really trust it. External validation might help out.
Beautiful transformation. You pass. Congrats. Hugs

You are in the right direction, but has some masculine facial features that can reveal you. Your brow bridge and your sharp edge at your nose are the features that makes passing more tricky for you. Your head shape and softness at your chin are fine. Your body do pass and look 110% female for me. If I look away from your sharp edge and your brow bridge, you pass.

Thanks for the honest opinions. I won't lie, it was really upsetting to hear but it is better than sugarcoating.
I honestly have no idea what to do with my hair, I originally tried a sideswept thing but it made my forehead look bigger so I tried to cover it with bangs. Really need some help figuring out what to do with it.
As for the glasses, I only just got them but I had a lot of help picking them out and they apparently suited me best - I like them so probably won't change them for now. As hair seems to be the main issue right now I'd be open for some suggestions.
I don't want to make people upset. But since people post in this thread, they get honest feedback. If you posted in "I look fabulous" thread, you would get a difference response and only compliments. This is a honest and seriously thread where it's about passing. :) If you don't want people to "hurt" you, I would recommend you to share in another threads. I'm not here to hurt people, but to help people. I don't post pictures of myself in "passing threads", because I know I'm not ready yet.

Yes I've been full-time for probably 7 months. I went full-time long before my voice was any good (not like it's good now, but it's better than it was) and when I was still visibly trans (still visibly trans but doing better). Once I had a few laser sessions under my belt I went full-time because I had an urgent need to express my feminine self and I had no obstacles at work or with my relationships.

Can relate to this totally ^_^
Well, for the voice... If it was the phone, I'd assume I was speaking to a female, so that's good. The bad is that it's raspy and belies your look/age. It's not that it's deep, it's not that it's male; something harsh about it though like a smoker's voice. You're improving well though! (yes, seen your other vid)

I think you have made an amazing transition so far. I do agree that you have a prominent brow ridge, but with the right hair style and makeup that can be made less noticeable.

These aren't the best pictures, but I'd be curious on opinions / what I could do different. I seem to pass somewhat in public but I'd like some pointers!

This is 4 and a half months of HRT, about 2 months at optimal levels.
I don't know about opinions, because it should be more about your opinion on how you look that counts. I think you pass well. You remind me of Velma from Scooby Doo- not that it's a bad thing. Light makeup could be more convincing if you're a makeup kind of girl. What kind of clothes do you wear? I hope you don't mind taking advice from a man, I used to be a fashionable woman girly appearing woman due to social pressure.

I think you look good and pass well, but in the third picture the way you're standing is masculine. Try to keep your legs closer together while standing and sitting.

That was fitted up when I had a fringe and my hair was a little shorter and blonder. I've aged too haha. Those pics are from about 16 months ago when I bought the dress. I had my final fitting prior to adjustments last week with my shoes and I'm proud to say the dress fits me even better than it did then which is good as it's a zip back :) I love it and I've never seen a dress like it!!
I don't know if they have trans women beauty pageants, but if they did you should be in it!

The feminine picture should be facing the camera the way the first one was so we can see you at the same angle. Other than that you look cutesy.

One of me with longer hair, and a couple more with my short hair. What do you think?
In first picture you remind me of the actress America Ferrara. The makeup is a little too dramatic for my tastes, but if it suits your personality go for it. I'd keep the hair longer- like the bob looks better than the shorter haircut. Bless you.

Your voice aren't passing 100%. I can hear a revealing timbre in your voice. But you're doing your voice alright. It's not very dark or masculine. I can hear and see you're not cis.
Sebby, I thought you said you were from Norway. Do people fit a gender binary more where you come from? I'm American and there's less traditionally feminine or masculine where I come from among cis people. I'm curious because of the way you judge.

There are usually difference between male and female faces. Women faces are usually softer, rounder and has smaller features e.g. But men faces are usually more rough, square, has bigger features and aren't always so soft. Off course there are difference between every people. But the distances between the facial features, the head shape, softness, skull etc. etc are often difference between the sexes. There are masculine and feminine traits, by the way they gets affected by the hormones. In many cases I can see difference between the sexes because the secondary sex features. There aren't anything wrong with not passing or looking more masculine/feminine than your own gender. Since people in this thread ask us they do pass or not, they get served a honest answer. :)
Most cis-women do resemble more at the person at the left side at the picture than the person at the right side. Most cis-men do resemble more at the person at the right side than the left one. I'm not talking about every human being, but how it's when it comes to most people or many people.

People are allowed to be disagree with me. Some people may pass for some people, but doesn't necessary pass for other. I can think a person don't pass, but another person may be disagree. Therefor it's nice to have a thread like this, so people can tell their opinions about how much each other do pass. It's a nice thing to get difference opinions.
I really value Sebbys opinon especially because it is honest.

if you want to stay anonymous

-don't use your personal account with a picture hoster
Imo you pass.
Nice acessoires.
You might try bangs covering forehead and brows.
You can look up pictures of Isley Reust, she has her hair cut exactly to cover brows.
It may mimick what a part of FFS does.

You definitely pass to me. I disagree with Sebby about the nose. It means nothing, really, noses are just noses. I see all kinds of people with all kinds of noses. What makes people pass or not pass usually are jaws and general face shape, but maybe I'm the only one who considers noses pretty neutral.
So I let one of my classmates cut a fringe and now all I see is guy with bangs.....

Women faces are usually softer, rounder and has smaller features e.g. But men faces are usually more rough, square, has bigger features and aren't always so soft. Off course there are difference between every people. But the distances between the facial features, the head shape, softness, skull etc. etc are often difference between the sexes. There are masculine and feminine traits, by the way they gets affected by the hormones. In many cases I can see difference between the sexes because the secondary sex features. There aren't anything wrong with not passing or looking more masculine/feminine than your own gender. Since people in this thread ask us they do pass or not, they get served a honest answer. :)
Most cis-women do resemble more at the person at the left side at the picture than the person at the right side. Most cis-men do resemble more at the person at the right side than the left one. I'm not talking about every human being, but how it's when it comes to most people or many people.

That's a very binary and extreme representation though. My jaw isn't that soft, it looks like something between the left and right figures. It isn't very square shaped but it isn't so round either. That's what I was told. And I'm pre-T.
There are differences, obviously, but they're not always
that evident and extreme. I see cis guys with soft round jaws and small facial traits (small noses, small lips, small ears). Just an example. A friend always calls this cis guy delicate and says he has soft traits.

I don't see a guy at all. If we weren't on this site and you didn't tell us, I'd
never think you are trans. I read cis woman. Totally.

That quote along is what I was going with. There are many cis people who don't have stereotypical male or female faces and I don't believe it makes them any more or less feminine or masculine. I was going by whether the people looked authentic or not rather than the shape of their face being feminine or masculine.

Which guy? You pass 100% for me. You seems like a young ordinary cis girl.
Quote from: jossam on April 30, 2016, 10:44:31 PM
You definitely pass to me. I disagree with Sebby about the nose. It means nothing, really, noses are just noses. I see all kinds of people with all kinds of noses. What makes people pass or not pass usually are jaws and general face shape, but maybe I'm the only one who considers noses pretty neutral.
Interesting we all have difference opinions about this topic. :)
Both, men and women can have a bit square head shape, big - long nose, big ears, rough features etc. But I still thinks there a difference between a cis woman with rough features and a man. Even though a cis woman have big nose, ears and a manly nosebridge, she still have in a smaller size than a cis man. Her ears and nose would have a softer edge and the features are a bit smaller. It can be from millimeters to meters. Often the cis women have a difference distance between the features than cis men due biological hormones.
Squared shaped cis women also have softer skin and a softer edge at their head shape than cis men. As you can see at the picture, the woman has a softer edge at her nose than the man. The man has a sharper edge at his nose. The man's brow bridge is a bit more visible than the woman's and he has a large, more squared head.

(https://assets.rbl.ms/2594711/980x.jpg)
The man has a harder edge at his jawline and at his nose. His neck is thicker and he has broader shoulders as well. His ears is a bit bigger than many women's ears.

The woman who has a square head has a softer jawline, thinner neck and a soft nose compared to the man. Her lips are also difference than the man's. Not very much, but the softness. You can pass with a squared head as long your features are in a convincing size and you have the softness over yourself.
This is my opinions. ;)
I posted these pics in the Beauty->Passing area, but any feedback would be welcome. I'm currently pre-everything.

Thanks Megan.
Sebby, what you say is true most of the time, but there can be exceptions that make faces look like no specific sex, and times when differences are really blurred. Anyway, I'm pre everything and my nose bridge is bigger than the one of my dad, as big as the one of my brother (we both have prominent noses but my bridge is a bit hooked unlike his), my ears are as big as than the ones of my brother and mine are also a bit pointy while he has softer edges, my brother doesn't have squared shaped jaws and I don't either, and my dad doesn't either. But after all, I was told my face is masculine and the only thing missing is facial hair....I guess that's the one that can make me have issues with passing pre-T because I'm 23 and have no trace of male facial hair (except for the soft sideburn hair and upper lip hair but it's soft and has nothing to do with the thick male facial hair). I want facial hair so badly, but without T I can't do anything about it. Maybe I'm one of those exceptions, maybe I got exposed to higher testosterone levels than the average afab people during puberty and that shows in my features. Who knows. I keep saying no I'm not so masculine, but other people especially my gf insist my facial traits are masculine.
The reason why I don't post an avatar pic or public pics in posts is because of privacy. I don't want anyone in my life to find me here while browsing the internet.
P.S.: the men you showed have stereotypically very masculine faces. Very masculine. I could find examples of cis guys who don't look like that.

You should relax your brows because frowning your brows will bring more attention to that area, which is a very hard area for most trans women. Also try plucking your eyebrows it helps a lot with feminizing your face, now it looks like they're sitting on your lashes. Also you can try wearing a slight bit more make up and contour your nose to make it appear smaller, you can find tutorials on youtube. I don't know if you're wearing a wig, I don't want to assume, but I can see your hairline or something black between your bangs...
Melanie, thanks. I'm building up to getting my brows shaped, but don't want to raise others at work. And it is a wig (with coloured roots). Early makeup efforts were ridiculous, so I'm trying to build up slowly from a minimum now. Practice still needed!
Had my girlfriend do my makeup and hair before my therapist appointment today

Thanks Megan.
You don't pass yet. Maybe plucking your eyebrows and relaxing more would help a bit. When you are doing that thing with your eyebrows, you appear more manly. You give me a lumberjack expression, something that may disturb the passing ability. Your masculine head shape and nose would softening a bit on HRT, so you get a softer edge at them. Often people have to be on HRT several years before it works and the finale result comes. I recommend you working at your eyebrows, facial expression; relaxing and it may turn better out.

To my eyes, you pass well. You may get some Botox to relieve the single wrinkle between your eyebrows. It is not expensive.

Do I pass? ... I really can't tell. Thanks!
When I go out no one seems to stare at me and my friends tell me I pass but for some reason I don't see it? I have only been on hormones about 6 months and I have lost about 25lbs recently and I am in the process of losing about 60 more so I know that will help. ... I do have wide hips that are hard to notice in these photos. ;)

You do pass. You pass best at the first picture because your femininity is more visible than at the middle picture. Even though you has some sharp edges at your features, you do still pass. Because it's in a small degree.

How long have you been on HRT? I think you pass better now than what you did in the past. I can't remember exactly how you looked like before, but if I remember right, you posted a picture of you earlier in the forum. Anyway, I think you pass better now than you did in the past, if I remember right.

Pre-HRT, will hopefully start within a month or so.

But I was accepted and I'm starting soon. So with the new income I'm hoping to at the very least see a therapist and get approval and get my butt to an endo FINALLY lol..

You have a bright future in front of you. On HRT it would be wonderful for you. By the way, I thought you had been on HRT for about 5 months or something at least, before I read you were pre-HRT. Anyway, you're doing it good now.
everyone is doing quite well.

You look great; and congratulations on getting everything back on track. Transition is extremely expensive, and since you have put yourself in a better financial situation, everything should really start to fall into place for you. Best wishes :)

There are usually difference between male and female faces. Women faces are usually softer, rounder and has smaller features e.g. But men faces are usually more rough, square, has bigger features and aren't always so soft. Off course there are difference between every people. But the distances between the facial features, the head shape, softness, skull etc. etc are often difference between the sexes. There are masculine and feminine traits, by the way they gets affected by the hormones. In many cases I can see difference between the sexes because the secondary sex features. There aren't anything wrong with not passing or looking more masculine/feminine than your own gender. Since people in this thread ask us they do pass or not, they get served a honest answer. :)
Most cis-women do resemble more at the person at the left side at the picture than the person at the right side. Most cis-men do resemble more at the person at the right side than the left one. I'm not talking about every human being, but how it's when it comes to most people or many people.

Androgynous yes. Female, you would need longer hair and more beasts. For hair, Just let it grow, and for breast, once on hrt let them grow obviously but for now get a bra with lots of padding maybe a size A or B would look more natural.

With that face, you could be Friday the 13th! Get it! Anyone. Anyone at all? No... Fudge! I suck at making jokes! It's not even funny! It's mean. Why God! Why did you give the ability to only make really mean jokes that aren't even funny?!

I am not getting your joke, but maybe it's a cultural thing; here in the U.S.A some superstitious people associate Friday the 13th with bad events. She is really pretty, so unless she's an evil witch, sorceress, etc. I don't really understand the correlation.

I've commented her before, therefor I skipped her this time. I said to her earlier long hair and more feminine glasses would make her pass better, than with square glasses. I don't need to repeat things every times. :)
This photo was taken while going for my first GIC appointment. I'm 3 weeks into low dose HRT here. Give me your worst! Obviously the short hair doesn't help, I'm planning on getting extensions put in when I go full time later this year :-)

You look nice. Sure. A little bit longer hair will certainly feminine your appearance further.
This type of hair style is popular here among young girls:

You passed much better with that long hair, as I mention earlier. With short hair, you don't look feminine enough to pass. All your manly features are much more visible with the short hair and you appear indeed lesser feminine. It's possible to see you're not cis. It's not impossible for you to pass. You have showed us earlier that you can pass, it was the picture where you had that long hair.
But you looks more feminine at the picture where you're smiling than your profile picture. The smiling really helps a bit at the passing. Without the smile, you appear lesser feminine-looking.

A smile where you show the teeth helps passing.
What features in particular show as manly to you?

I can post a close up of my face if necessary/desired by anyone. :)
Hiya, I'm not sure exactly what it is but I think something is giving you away in that photo! It might just be because you look a bit stern though.

Although you dont any very masculine facial features, you do have somewhat androgynous facial features (forehead and orbital area, chin, nasolabial distance, nose). You have a really good starting point in that regard (better than most have), but its combination of these things, along with facial hair shadow, and current hairstyle, that together doesnt allow you to pass as cis-female yet. The effects of hormones alone and removed facial hair and more flattering hairstyle will make a huge difference, and soon enough you wont have much trouble passing.
Thanks pastry, that's a really detailed answer :-) I had been struggling to pin down exactly what in my face made me look masculine (and I totally agree that I do) but I think you are right, it's a combination of lots of little things!
Thanks again :-)

Oh, and a tip for yourself ... I don't know if you have your ears pierced or not, but I've found that wearing hoopy earrings seems to offset the having short hair. :)
Ooh I love your cheeks and lips :-)
I reckon it's the brow bone that's the masculine feature as the rest of your face seems quite feminine to me.
Overall you are doing really well though! I do need to get my ears pierced, although I'm not out at work yet which makes it a bit awkward :-)

Hey all! I like to think I've improved since my last posting!

Yes. I agree. But your overall appearance would be more important. For example, a balance between your hair style and your dress.

With long hair, feminine clothing, makeup etc. you appear much more feminine, but with short hair you look more masculine. The face itself aren't necessary very masculine or feminine, but in a middle-thing aka. androgynous. But the masculine short hair convert your face to appear and rest of yourself more manly, than with a more feminine hairstyle. Your hair do convert how feminine or masculine your face appears. It's a bit hard to explain.
Since your eyebrows are darker and thicker at your profile picture, you appear more masculine. You also have a gamerguy facial expression. Your facial expression are some of the features that make you more masculine or feminine. When you smile, you appear much softer and rounder in the face, and therefor more feminine. (I'm talking about shape, skin etc.) When you have that expression in the profile picture, you get lesser soft.
Maybe you should try a bang, perhaps it would suit you and give you a more feminine frame around your face.
Thanks Sebby that's really useful information. I know my hair lets me down but I've just got to go with it until I go full time!

To be brutally honest, no not yet.
First of all, get those eyebrows done. Second, I know that you aren't wearing any makeup, but still, facial hair.
That's my advice to start off with.
Love, Sarina!
You could get an amazing arch in eyebrows that thick!

With beard and thick eyebrows, you would not pass. You're not passing yet as a woman. Doing your eyebrows and removing all the beard would improve it more. But your long hair looks nice.

Thick eyebrows and facial hair. Nope. I'd suggest fixing those, and also wearing some makeup. I'm sure you'd look much better after fixing those things.

I mean that your hair is rather straight whereas your dress is with lace, looking waved. I think that dress would be match well with a curly hair style. With your hair style, I think a monotonous, simple and rather classical jackets or dresses would look nice. But, this is just my opinion of two cents.

No makeup, no filters... just me and a couple wigs. Almost 6 months on HRT at age 43. Just wondering how you think I am doing so far? Yes, I know makeup will help and I do normally darken my brows, just didn't have it done for these pictures because I wanted to be as natural as possible to see how my transition is really progressing. :)

You're still not passing; not passing as a cis-woman. But you have improved a little bit. But you have a way to go, before passing. The HRT needs more time.

You're still not passing yet. Your hairline, stubble and the skin reveals a bit that you're not cis. It's T-affected and obviously more masculine than feminine. But you're at the good way and have a good potential. Are you pre or post-HRT? Anyway, HRT would soften your skin. If I look away from these thing I mention, you have a nice chance to pass in the future. You have a androgynous face.

You're still not passing yet. You have the potential, but aren't there yet. Some facial features are slightly masculine. The sharp edges in your face is a bit masculine. Especially these at the nose. You're brow bridge are also a bit manly; not very, just a little bit. You're legs and arms (from the wrist up to the shoulder) looks fine. It looks like a young girls one. It's not broad, large or masculine. Your body are fine.
I've not done any REAL HRT just some herbals. That said I am looking into starting HRT as I have seen that Do-it-yourself can be tragic. That is why I came here looking for supportive people and resources.
How about me? How do I look? Not on HRT yet. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20160523%2Fb7d41a4460baae93a4b38e1510ae9f54.jpg&hash=8cd6d5bcdf0ea1dde665649dc5b9a7e481707293)

Not passing yet. I recommend you to start HRT if you want to pass. You have rough features that may soften at HRT. You did a nice choice with haircut and makeup by the way, so that's in place. So the only things that remaining is the HRT. Your 5 O'clock shadow and the rough nose are some masculine features. But the area around the eyes has potential for femininity.
Thank you! Still learning the makeup. Hair is a wig. I appreciate your honesty. I will get there someday. :)

10 sessions of laser, numerous electrolysis sessions. Approximately 2 years 4 Months on HRT.

You have a good potential to pass in the future. If I look away from your nose, you look androgynous for me, and slightly feminine. The nose is a typically masculine nose. That's my honest thoughts.
Often I have seen more men than women with big noses, and the men have bigger noses than the women with big noses, therefor I associate big noses with a masculine trait. According to a science page, it's biological and it's like that of purposes.
Anyway, you're at a good way. You did a good choice with haircut and glasses.

You are being rather unfair to the girls picking on features that can't easily be changed; most can both be seen in cis-women as well as in cis-men.
As for makeup; lipstick is ok but anything else can look like warpaint and most women look better without it (maybe just my opinion but that is how I feel about it).

Mac1 it is the Do you think I can Pass thread. At least there is one person that will give a totally honest opinion. Most people will say nice things just to be nice. Maybe there should be a warning if you post your pic then be prepared you might get an honest opinion. Really almost nobody passes and has things to work on. I'd like to know the things to work on to know I am going in the right direction. Should also get to know the things that can not be realistically changed.

This is a passing thread where people may get honest opinions about their passing abilities and what they should improve. If you wants compliments, you can post pictures in "I'm fabulous" thread. If you're very sensitive at honest comments, I think you should post in another thread or at least give a little Warning.

You seem to have a great potential to pass in the future. Your hair style will be most important in passing. You already have a very nice body figure. Try wearing eye makeup soon. Underwear pants are irrelevant in passing. For example, mostly I do not wear underwear pants :D

Go through the steps of of seeing a therapist or whatever is required to start HRT in your area and in the mean time start experimenting with the make up to see what looks work for you
Different makeup schemes work for different occasions, several make up co.s will have tutorial vid.s and of coarse they are mostly interested in selling their product, there are also several make up vid.s on youtube
I went hog wild with the make up when I first started but then later decided less was more and toned it down quite a bit, the basic idea is to highlight your best features
hope that helps
Hugs

You doesn't pass yet. You looks pre-HRT. If you have not started HRT yet, I recommend you to do it, if you want to pass. Growing your hair shoulder long and doing your eyebrows are also something I recommend you. You looks pretty, but not feminine enough to looking like your own gender yet. But you have the potential. Your eyes and nose tip are slightly feminine. Your chin and head shape seems pretty much androgynous for me. You also are thin, something that might be a advantages. That means you would have no problems with muscles, therefor bigger chance for successfully pass.
Thanks everybody! I appreciate the feedback!

Looking for another point of vue. Do I look like a male on those, or androgynous, or woman ?

I think you are at a good starting point and have potential as well, your arms look rather feminine already and I can see some feminine features in your facial structure, HRT will naturally enhance those features over time
Might think about thinning and shaping the eye brows though
As for hair there are several feminine styles available in both long and short hair
Looks are rather important but poise and style are also equally two of the most important factors in passing in public imo
So many issues can be solved with the right hair style honestly. Multivitamine and mineral complexes will do great deal for skin texture as well. Your all lovely and have the potential to be more so. Even if one has some masculine features that is not that bad even some ciswomen do. All you have to do is know how to work around them like the ciswomen have had their whole lives to find out how. Sure if you look like a bodybuilder Viking man or some such it aint the case but I have not seen that here. Don't ever give up on your femininity ladies! ^-^
I was using a online virtual makeover thing and put some long hair on me it looks like fake hair but it gives an great idea of how you would look with different hair styles colors, make up styles etc it's awesome. It does not morph your face though or change facial shape or anything nor does it adjust lighting on the picture so you can rest easy it just your natural face and it just adds hair and make up.
Here is me with these hair styles... lol the hair might be a bit high on the second one.

Different people have different face shapes

Basically what you may want to do is first decide what basic face shape you have and then look at various hair styles that compliment it, this is what experienced hair stylist do before giving someone a haircut
So you may possibly want to grow your hair out and then discuss with a stylist what you want to do and what will work best for you
You are sooo gorgeous iamkaylakoch! That hairstyle fits you soo well! God I miss my long hair!

You looks obviously like a cis-girl in the teens. Ca. 16 - 18 years old. 110% cis features in your face.

You looks androgynous for me. Since your face is pretty much neutral, you can decide how you want to appear with clothing, hair etc. In that way you're pretty much lucky. With these glasses and the curly hair, you looks slightly feminine.

It would be impossible for you to pass as a cis man with so feminine features that you have. You looks obviously like a cis woman. You have the typically teenage girl face like most cis-girls has. Soft cute face, narrow nose, feminine cheekbone, feminine skull, round feminine big eyes and girly eyebrows.

At these pictures you looks androgynous, but with slightly masculine facial features. Especially the eyebrows and the nose tip are masculine.

Your face is very androgynous, so it's hard to tell. Sometimes it appear slightly masculine, other times slightly feminine. But since you has a feminine hairstyle, clothes, body shape and soft skin in your face, I would assume you're a woman at the street.

You do improves, so it might be even better with time. But it's not so easy to tell what the future would be like.
Hi Kayla I was looking at your pic. You look tiny and pretty in the dress. Your hair reminds me of like the art nouveau/deco era style with the flower. I can picture atleast one actress from the past, Stephanie probably knows the name. I was trying to figure out what just doesn't look girl in your pic to me. I think it is just the eyebrows. Easily fixed but probably a tell tale signs if you do and not ready. Wish I would have started when I was your age. It is a different time now and feels like the world has changed dramatically since then.
Hello, I was wondering I could get some feedback. I asked my siblings what they thought and they just stayed silent... I'm 26 and I haven't started transitioning yet. I used an Android app to add the hair ,make up and to get rid of some stubble. I forgot to put my real bangs back before adding the fake hair ... thx

Thank you!! The app I used is called virtual makeover by modiface, but lately it's been super buggy .youcam makeup- makeover studio is a pretty good alternative.

You'd suit that whole look, long dark hair, tanned, heavy black eye make up, structured shirts, black drainpipe trousers.
Have some fun with it. You don't need to worry about whether you 'pass'.
Hiya girls, I got to dress up again today and I can honestly say I've never been happier with the way I've looked :)
It just sort of hit me today that I don't need to dress in overly feminine clothing to be happy and feel like a woman, so I just wore a vest and jeans and got my girlfriend to do my makeup for me :)

Aww thank you!! xD haha afterwards even she said she was jealous of the makeup she'd done for me ;) Thanks babe I didn't think my face was that feminine (especially that beaky nose you can see in the pictures!!) but that's nice of you to say!! :D
Beaky nose Hannah? Not seeing it, I think you are feminizing quite nicely and look great

Beaky nose Hannah? Not seeing it, I think you are feminizing quite nicely and look great
Hugs
Aw thank you!! It's definitely bigger than you think though!! ;) I'm worried that there's only so much a rhinoplasty can do to help it look feminine :/

Hiya girls, I got to dress up again today and I can honestly say I've never been happier with the way I've looked :)
It just sort of hit me today that I don't need to dress in overly feminine clothing to be happy and feel like a woman, so I just wore a vest and jeans and got my girlfriend to do my makeup for me :)
So yeah I'm still pre-everything and only out to my wonderful girlfriend :)
amazing :) beautiful!
Thank you Eleonore babe!! :)

So yeah I'm still pre-everything and only out to my wonderful girlfriend :)
You're doing it good for being pre-everything. :) HRT would improve your softness in your face even more. Most parts of you looks feminine. But your nose is a bit masculine. You do pass better than many other pre-HRT people. But if I stand close to you, I might see some masculinity in your nose.

I agree to disagree with the nose. It OK to have some masculine features like many many other cis-women.
Love, Sarina!
I decided to snap some non potato quality progress photos yesterday :) Three things I say (get it, instead of 'pray'?)
1) I know I'm not passing, that's ok for now since I am boy mode pretty much 24/6
2) I need a haircut really bad, especially in the front, it's driving me nuts. Any suggestions? needs to be androgynous enough to go either way.
3) What can I do better? any suggestions?

This is pretty much spot on! I would only mention that I believe the nose thing will be a moot point after your face changes from HRT. For what it's worth, my wife has a 'masculine' nose by some standards, and it works just fine for her. I know we are fighting an uphill battle because of other features, certainly moreso than the average cis female, but I really don't see it being an issue for you in the future.

Thank you all for you thoughts and honesty!! I agree that my nose isn't the worst but is still a little bit on the masculine side and while I know it would change a bit with hrt, I honestly think getting a rhinoplasty would be my best option. I just hope that it can be changed as much as I want it to be changed!!

I actually feel you pass quite well!! You have a very petite, feminine look to your face. As for the hair, I say keep growing it. When it gets to just below shoulder length it'll definitely help feminise your face even more :)

I completle agree with that :) You pass quite well! Trim your hari a little bit, bring some "fresh style" in it, and let it continue to grow to the shoulders - in the meantime, try to put some more volume in the hair and it will look great

How long have you been on HRT and are you full time?
Anyway, I think you looks androgynous. So you have a potential to pass.

Thanks! I guess I should be patient and wait... I might pm you a pic later for your opinion on a hair style. It's of an actual person, not a hair model, so I don't really want to post it public.

I have been on spiro for 3.5 mo and E for about 2.5 months. Definitely seeing changes, that's for sure. I'd post a side by side but... I guess I'm a little insecure about that at the moment. Not full time, not even part of part-time right now. I think if I practiced more with makeup/hair techniques and such, it could really help my 'pass' game.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback Sebby :)

Since you're androgynous, with slightly femininity, I think you should considering coming out of the closet and live your life as yourself. At least doing part time. Being inside the closet aren't fun, not in my opinion. After several months or years at HRT, you may become more feminine. Therefor it's smart to be full-time.

I agree with getting out, you look all right and it helps you to feel so much better

I have commented your passing ability earlier, and I have still not changed my opinion. You're still not passing 100%; not as cis. To be honest, you hasn't changed so much since last time you posted a picture. You still looks the same. You still have rough features, masculine head shape etc. that makes passing harder.
My earlier comment:
QuoteAt picture 1, 3 and 4 you don't pass 100%. You has a squared masculine shape at your head. You hasn't so soften features yet. Soft is associated with femininity; female. At picture 2 you pass much better than the other pictures. You has some revealing skin (Women has often more soft skin), but you has much more soften facial features at picture 2. Maybe it's because the angle and pose, I'm not sure. You appear much more female at picture 2, you also looks like a different person at picture 2. Picture 1 and picture 2 could be sisters. By the way, your face appear much lesser square at picture 2. It's more rounded in a feminine way.

Aww thank you!! xD haha afterwards even she said she was jealous of the makeup she'd done for me ;) Thanks babe I didn't think my face was that feminine (especially that beaky nose you can see in the pictures!!) but that's nice of you to say!! :D
I don't think you should bother about your nose, it's not tiny but it's slim. Lots of women don't have tiny little noses, and they generally look better for it. More interesting. Very few people of either sex really look perfect when you actually start deconstructing their features, and many people will not have an off centre nose (you don't) or a crooked bottom tooth or a slightly lopsided smile - which if 'fixed' would take away what weirdly works about their face.
I've thought about getting mine fixed - it's slightly bent because I broke it as a child. My friend keeps saying "don't you dare have a nose job, it looks fine" and sending pictures of Princess Diana with her bent nose to emphasize the point.
I agree, Hannah darling don't worry about your nose!! My nose is bent from being broken, I had a crappy nose job result and I'm not happy with the result. To be fair, I've been in touch with a few surgeons and they all agree if they do my nose again it may end up looking bigger and less feminine.
Once you're on HRT you'll have me wel jel haha, I've hit about the limit of change and I'm just aging now haha but a few surgeons can only see I need a small brow lift to complete the look. Maybe when I'm 30 and it helps me look more youthful haha.

A fringe would do a lot.
It's a tough job when you have your hair back like that on one side.

Thanks for the advice sebby and Stephanie, its complicated :)
I guess it always is, just trying to be patient. By the end of the year, I'm sure I will be at least part if not full time. I feel better as long as there is forward motion and a plan.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
I'm not sure I have ever posted in this thread but here goes. Keep in mind I'm closer to 60 than I am to 50. I took the picture this morning shortly after I got up so no makeup, and no clothes for that matter. :-)
It's my own hair which is coming along slowly. I look in the mirror and alternate between thinking I look ok and other times thinking I am hopeless.

You have a nice potential. You have feminine eyes, nose and skin. You're indeed a bit androgynous. So it's not so easy to tell. But the Adam's apple are still visible and you do have a bit masculine neck. HRT would soften you after a time. I recommend you to consider another haircut where you have equal long hair at the both sides of your head. The shaved part at right side makes you appear more masculine and harder to pass. Shaving the small hair at the cheeks are also recommended in my opinion.
But are you full time, by the way? :)

You do look excellent for your age, which can only continue working in your favour.
Your hair looks great. You could have that done today in a neat bob and have a sophisticated female hairstyle. You might love it so much you don't go longer.
Gets girls! Please could I have your input? :) Here's me sans-makeup (I.e. do you think I male fail?):

Without make up, you look good.
With it, no. Go to a make up artist and have them show you how to apply it and what products are likely to enhance your face.
The eyebrows are way too much, particularly with a lack of any other prominent eye make up. I know big darkened eyebrows are fashionable - but not on their own - you need to go the whole way with the liner and the lashes as well if that's your look, and wax away more from the middle.
You don't suit red lipstick. You have a very nice natural lip colour - something closer to that would be better.
You have a lovely nose.
It is always good to remember that everyone will judge you differently. Some say you pass, others might think you do not. And there is a reason for that, which hasn't anything to do with your transition or even YOU.
Here is what I found out:
When we judge a photograph, the first thing we respond to are features that stick out the most. Like beard shadow, a big nose and so forth. The obvious one is the beard shadow and everyone will agree on that. Now some might think that your nose is fine, and other might think it's totally male. Why? I think I solved this question that has nagged me for years:
When we are asked to judge a facial feature, we seem to run a routine through our minds that weighs the extremes we have been exposed to. For example: If I have seen females with a big nose in my life, I might judge you passable. Someone else hasn't seen as much females with a big nose in their lives, they might judge you not passable. And this is not about the size alone, it is also about shape, angle, distance between nose and mouth. Conversely, when we see a facial feature we have only seen on males, but never on females, our bias kicks in based upon what we've been exposed to.
So it's my thesis that:
When we recognize a feature we have seen before on another gender, we tend to get confused and look for more cues until the weighing process is satisfied with the value of the combined cues which equals the initial observation of those who we weigh. In other words: first, we tend to see what we want to see and see what we know. If in doubt, this weighing routine kicks in and produces a result which is compared to what they already known to be "female". The weighing routine is complicated by the bias of two key issues: 1) we already know your gender. 2) we also know your birth gender. And probably a 3rd. 3) we don't want to hurt any feelings and avoid social conflicts arising out of that.
Now, normally we are not judged on passability in real life. There is no one who goes about their day, looking for trans people and judge how they pass. Just as you do not try to see if cis-genders pass, because you assume they are cis. While in fact, they might be trans. People do not expect to see us, so they are already biased to judge you as female when enough immediate cues are preset. Which are mostly hair, the shape of the body, breasts and clothes. If these cues are not present, or if some cues are out of context people will pause and try to understand what makes them feel doubt. People are neophiles, which means that any novel things will catch their attention by virtue of biology. Then they run the cue-routine to figure it out, and if that is satisfied you are judged female. If not, then you are either overwhelmingly male, or their cue-routine hints at unknown facial features that have not encountered before on a female. If that happens, they pause and try to learn what they see. If they are >-bleeped-<s, insecure bigots, they might harass you. if not, they could figure you are trans, or a very manly female. Even in this stage they still might not see you as trans, but simply doubting. So chances are that you will pass in public on confidence alone. Even after all this, the last thing that they (want to) do is confirming your own insecurities, unless you show them through your body language.
All in all, it's pretty complicated.
I hope that anyone who wants their picture judged, know that it's not as simple as asking others their opinions. You might get a general idea -like dropping the beard shadow- but the intricacies of passing are far more complex, and go beyond a mere YES or NO.

I know it's bit off topic but there is somethings I would like to ask...
This not a membership only site so I assume anyone browsing the internet can see the pictures posted here...
Is most every one here out and proud? Does anyone worry about having their pictures accessible like this? Anyone worried about effects on future employment etc?
I'm not stealth but neither am I 'out' in the sense I don't talk about my past outside of with other TSes and those that knew me 'before', and I would never post a picture in a public forum (even if I was good looking - which I'm not) ... and in the past when I posted too much personal info in the open it came back to bite me.
In general some who have posted here look very good... but some have significant issues beyond needing more electrolysis or better makeup ... the type of issues that only full FFS would solve if they want to pass really well (I had full FFS with Dr O a long time ago so I know what it can do).
I would be very hesitant to say that to anyone because i know it can hurt and that some will not be able to afford it ... do others feel the same way about giving feedback?
- karen
I don't mind, I don't hide it :) My view is if anyone is looking this place up who knows me and doesn't know I'm trans they'll be a reason they're here and probably OK with it, if not I don't care.
My only employment worry is parents of the kids I teach but that's less important now as I'm studying a Masters in Education and thus will be moving on to education theory most likely in the LGBT sector of education so it's pretty much pre requisite to be a member of the community.
I'm nice if I'm giving feedback, I like to be positive but I don't expect it back, I've had my share of blunt and over harsh analysis on the way I look here but that seems to have subsided. My story and pictures are not exclusive here, I'm also plastered over the website of the Doctor who oversees my care these days. I think it's good to show others in the education sector you can be LGBT and still work with kids, it's not the end of the world :D

I think most of us who have posted pictures here are clearly out, and proud (at most) of our status, or comfortable enough (at least) with our status, yes.
The people who are not posting pictures I assume are either protective of their identity, insecure of their looks, or just think it's weird to publicly put their face out there. Maybe all three; maybe many more reasons than that... maybe still closeted? /shrug
Yeah it's public viewing, but
who is actually coming here? I assume (totally pulling numbers out of my butt here) that 98% of the viewership are transgender people themselves, 1% are
>-bleeped-<s, and 1% are random people. No clue of actual numbers obviously, but I just can't help but feel that no one cares... I mean, like, my avatar pic for example... I'm not very worried of that pic getting out there because it's just quite inconsequential to my real life who sees that and what is done with it (pretty sure not a damn thing) outside this site (ex: hate groups such as /r/transfags reposting my pic and making fun of it. I'd laugh at myself right along with them, frankly.) :icon_rah:
Future employment? Nah; if I lose my job and apply to another and a boss recognizes me, I truly believe
they would have more explaining to do than myself.

Exactly; well said Sasha.
I can't say that I am out. I have posted a few pics, something at one point I never thought I would do. I posted with sunglasses because I am thinking it would be really hard to tell its me when as a guy. Then I posted a few without sunglasses because I wanted a good opinion. Having come to finding many of the guys that like trans girls seem to be straightness guys but I doubt they look here. I do have some confidence that I do look not that bad as a woman from the feedback and that makes it easier for me. If I actually do look nice in pictures as a woman doesn't it make it harder to mock me if someone does see? I recently started a job and there is a trans person on the crew. Shocking for me to say the least and realized it is a good chance she is on forums like this.

I'm not out to anybody except my girlfriend and if anybody else found the pictures I put on here I'd be absolutely mortified. Because of this it took me such a long time to actually post a picture of myself on here.
Then I realised unless anybody searched for "Hannah Samira" they can't find me. And since that's not my name yet there's no reason for anybody I know to google it. Plus, if someone I know is googling for Transwomen in the first place, I think they might actually be in a similar situation to me ;)
As for telling people how they look on here, I would say just don't say anything you wouldn't want to hear said about yourself, but we're here to help each other, not delude each other :)
That's just my opinion anyway :P x

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 :D
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. :P :)
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~
Thank you VM. 😊😊
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.
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.
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 :D anyways that's that (I'm cool w myself, I like miself); your comments explain the commotion around me :)
