The Official "Do I Pass" Thread 3 PRESENTED IN 3D!!!

[Shang]

That's what I'm saying....lol. Of course, I have two caterpillars mating on my forehead, so, lol, yeah

That made my day. xD  My family doesn't have thick eyebrows, even the males, so I don't expect to gain thick ones once I start T and I'm all right with that.  I'm much more worried by the big butt I have.

About the eyebrows, I had the misfortune of getting perma-makeup eyebrows done, LUCKILY they are faded where you can't even tell, but for a while I was wondering if the hair would grow properly, and it totally has. There is hope for all of you guys out there even if you tweezed. I worked at a nail salon and had my brows waxed nearly every week or so, and they grew back nice and thick. It might be genetics but I wouldn't worry too much. Now I just let 'em bush out and just clean up the edges every once in a while.

and here I am bitching about an upper back tattoo....

I'm glad they are faded, and also glad I'm not the only one who made mildly foolish permanent body decisions. 

[Seb]

Yeah trust me I've got a few girly tattoos I'm ashamed of but you know what that was the old me i just gotta deal with it. I guess that's the only thing we can do eh?

I'm just glad I didn't get those brows touched up.

[Devin87]

I totally lucked out on the eyebrow front.  I think my eyebrows are responsible for at least 75% of my passing, with my manly shoulders and hairy, muscular forearms right behind.  I've never plucked them in my life, though.  I usually just shave in the middle every once and awhile to keep from getting a uni-brow.

[Andy]

Hey Devin, long time--no see!! I was thinking about you the other day, hoping you were doing okay. Looking good, man!

[Devin87]

I'm doing good.  I moved back in with my mom, so I never ended up getting on T, but I'm ok with it for right now.  I did have my name legally changed, so I'm legally Devin, which makes it easier to pass male in public.  So basically I'm going back and forth-- male mode for those who don't know me like in restaurants and stuff and very-butchy-female mode for family, friends and work.  It's working fine for me.  I'm butchy enough that no one really treats me like a girl despite the female pronouns and I've got the freedom to dress how I'd like (except for wearing ties-- I can't do that, as much as I'd like to), so I'm good with this for now.

And since this is the "Do I Pass" thread, I'll add a few very random pictures.  I'm down about 70 lbs from this time last year and lost a good 5 inches off the moobs, so I barely even have to bind anymore if I wear the right clothes and slouch.  I'm not binding in any of these pictures.  It's nice.

I posted this on Facebook as "I wanna roll with the gangstas, but oh well it's obvious I'm white and nerdy".  HP fans will get it.

You pass to me, Devin. Completely. I don't really think there's much feminine about you, so good job, man.
The hair's good on you, I think it fits you better than I would imagine short hair doing. Of course the brows work for you.
Total pass.

[Shang]

Definite pass, Devin!

I love the last picture. XD

[Liminal Stranger]

Man, I'm almost jealous of how well you pass! Wouldn't question you for a second.
Still waiting on that haircut, but it's been put on the back burner due to hospitalizations following what should have been some routine (though invasive) procedures. Luckily I'm alright now, but I'll have to wait to schedule something in between doctors' appointments.

[LilRingo]

@Devin - I wish i was as cool as you, no lie. Also, slytherclaw ftw.

I just got my hair cut, and the guy did it shorter than i originally wanted, but whatever. I feel like it makes me look more femme in the face cus of my pre-t hair line. Aslo, i feel like when i wear glasses, it makes my face look small. tell me what Y'all think, please.

[ty.to.the.man]

LilRingo: i'd say pass without the glasses but with the glasses not really. sorry :/

[LilRingo]

LilRingo: i'd say pass without the glasses but with the glasses not really. sorry :/

No need to be sorry, lol. I totally agree. I see better with my contacts anyway

[Make_It_Good]

Hey LilRingo, Id say you pass well in those pictures with your new haircut, and yeah, better without the glasses.

[AdamMLP]

I agree with the others as well, you look very male in the ones without glasses, but not quite with them.  I think because they're only rimmed at the top it makes your forehead look too small so your face looks out of proportion somehow.  But if you see better with contact lenses then it's a win-win situation.

[ty.to.the.man]

my hairs been getting longer so i tried combing it back a little. what do you guys think? brutal honestly please lol

[Darrin Scott]

I like it. My hair is kind-of like that. I style it like a pompadour, though. I don't think it hinders passing, though.

[Seb]

Your hairline is very masculine enough for that cut. Nice 'do, bro.

[Faun]

Yeah, you look great ^w^

[ty.to.the.man]

thanks guys
