passing

[Joeyboo~ :3]

Natalie, not only do you pass in your photos, but you are also really pretty.
The only reason I could see you not passing to people in real life is if you're abnormally tall, have huge hands, or are still having troubles with your voice.
  It's definitely not the appearance of your face though.

What I was trying to say!

And Joey, don't even start about your face not passing, m'kay?

>_<

I lewk lyk a mahn.

Ok so I have trouble passing I'm not sure why though. In passing people don't stare or say anything when i have hair in. If ppl spend the time around me they kinda have an idea.

My body has changed so much and my figure is coming in so nicely. But i feel like my face is lagging behind. There are girls on this forum who looks so natural and pretty... When does your face soften. Mine hasnt changed at all since i've started. I'm really depressed about having to put so much makeup on to pass...

Wow! you have trouble passing? you look very female in your profile pic Natalie. I wished I looked half as good as you do! you have a soft feminine face unlike mine which is quite hard even after 11 years of HRT. I'm not sure why you are not passing and from a visual point of view you pass to me. What's your voice like?

Natalie.. sorry for any confusion

oh darn!*snaps fingers* and here I was fishing for a compliment.

Uhm.... if you look anything like the pictures you have posted, you have NOTHING to worry about luv. You are a beautiful woman and I don't say that to very many. Cheer up. Put your mind on other problems that need resolution. Your face is wonderful. Don't believe yourself when you start thinking otherwise... because, sweetie, you are very pretty.

Chin up!

Joey-
I'm an awful person and I would tell you all the reasons you didn't pass if you constantly posted things like this and what you were saying had any truth to it.

Enlighten me.
Make me cry tonight.

[Jen-Jen]

He can't make you cry Joey, because there is no truth to what your saying! Your beautiful! 
We totally hijacked natalies thread!

Yay! Compliment! Thanks Naturally Blonde

I've been all over the place emotionally. Confidence isnt something i have alot of but im working on it.. It helps that so many think i look great. I look up to alot of girls here.

Confidence isnt something i have alot of but im working on it

Well that's very common. As a close classmate friend of mine told me...  "Welcome to being a girl. I went through it and so did both of my daughters. I remember when every thought that went through my head about myself was negative. New hormones are raging through your body and you haven't learned how to handle them yet!" ... She knows her stuff! lol ... just thought I'd pass that along

[Amalina]

Natalie I totally agree with the others here, you are beautiful and I can't believe anyone could see anything but a gorgeous woman. Of course I'm just going off pictures but seriously I don't even think me from a few years ago would notice anything off, and that me was pretty thrown off by the idea of trans. Pretty sure you would of changed my mind real fast though.

I wouldn't worry too much, if I knew I'd look like you I'd transition in a heartbeat.

[annette]

wow Natalie and Jenny, congrats, you're both absolutely female, always insecure about the looks, while there is nothing to be insecure about.
But....there is some good news girls, while time is running and you become a little older, the insecurity will vanish more and more.
Bad news is that there is reason to worry about the looks while getting older.
in other words, we women do have an expiredate, so enjoy your beauty while you still have it.
Just an advice from an older woman to beautiful young ones.

Well it's either to do with your:

a). Height.
b). Upper body movements/posture.
c). Bonyness of face (chin, cheeks, brows).
d). Voice.

Maybe you could record a video of yourself with general interactions and analyse it to see what needs to be worked on.

Once again, a person posing still in pics does not show any fear of being clocked -

imho, it is natalie's fear of being clocked that is giving others a "vibe" about her.

It's got nothing to do with how pretty she is... if you are constantly worrying, others will notice and wonder. Once you get a second look, it is all over

[lonely girl]

I personally know a TS that is like you, really passable in pictures, but not in real life.
I don't know you well enough to know what you are lacking. But for my friend, her main culprit are her voice, and her mannerisms. She has a deep masculine voice and shes speaks too loud and crude too. Having a feminine face, an androgynous body, and speaking like a typical male, still gets her clocked.
Alot of qualities doesn't show thru pictures, and if you want honest opinions you should ask friends that you know in real life, the words might hurt you, but gives you and idea what to work on and how to improve. All that aside, like everyone said, you have a pretty face, and you should have less trouble of passing compared to most mtf on this forum

[Alainaluvsu]

Make a video on what you hope to gain out of transitioning. Then we will probably be able to tell you what's going on.

Here is a vid i made...

Nothing to worry about girl, you are gorgious!
