I can certainly see why you passed Matty, you look pretty much cis to me. I wouldnt question you at all. I dont even see how your chest could give you away. Wish I had your 'problem' there, I cant possibly hide this.. Of course I had to get this really bad too didnt I. You dont look fat at all either. Thats an extra problem I have too, no matter how much I try to lose weight nothing makes the slightest bit of difference. Probably have to resort to surgery while Im getting all this done anyway. Nothing about you I can see would give you away at all
I hate everything about myself, not a single thing I dont. I especially hate my face, I think I look stupid.. and ugly.. but there we go
Thanks
I'm actually a DD so hiding that is hard, that's why I wear over shirts all the time. I prefer winter cause I can always have layers, in the summer I start to look a bit repetitive with over shirts all the time! Also, when you're out and about, keeping overshirts from flying back and revealing all is pretty much impossible. I have to kinda hold them together or button it while walking, but if I'm buttoning a shirt I have to get a size too big because I still have hips and they never look right at the bottom! Bit of a nightmare!
I don't think you're ugly at all! You look fine! Chin up, bro! Everyone looks for faults in themselves. For myself my main hatred is my entire lack of chin. I look fine straight on but if you saw me from the side my chin just goes straight into my neck and it looks horrible. Nothing I can do about it bar surgery and it's not something I care enough about for surgery (more important things to address first
lol).
As for weight, I do have quite a bit still. That picture is a little more flattering but I still need to lose about 8-10kg (17-22lbs). When losing weight it really is all about diet and lifestyle change. I have 5 400 calorie meals a day spaced out every 3 hours. I do very intense workouts though so that's far too much to eat if you don't workout. But I've noticed if I take a week off training on a recovery week, I still lose weight. On the flip side, if I train hard for a week but maybe not eat so well, I can actually put on weight!!! I know high level exercise puts people off losing weight, but it's really like 80% diet and 20% exercise. A little exercise to work the muscles (even walking counts!) and switching to eating smaller amounts but more regularly with 5-6 meals a day will help boost your metabolism might get you some better results before you start considering surgery for that. It can be an absolute pain in the butt to motivate yourself, but even with 10-16hr work days 5-7 days a week, I eventually settled down into a routine. Feel free to hit me up if you want some advice here. I've already lost 20 lbs since January and I still eat stuff I like, I refuse to cut out pizzas, burgers and fries because I want a lifestyle change that I can stick to, not a diet. And no, I'm NOT selling diets or specific exercise plans, just common sense. Exercise definitely helps me cut the weight and it'll help cut it faster, but you don't have to go as insane as me, not even close!

@Matty Thanks! I look amazing because of the angle, if I'm looking straight on, I'll probably be a bit more feminine, honestly. . XD And you pass really well, I would totally think you were born a boy. I might take a pic of me straight on, later.
Thanks
. And I'd like to see a pic straight on, but right now I think you might just look like a younger boy rather than total full on feminine, but let's see. Are you still quite young? One of the issues I have is that I'm often perceived to be a lot younger than I actually am (28), I don't know how well that picture shows that, but I find it hard to estimate the age of some FTM, especially pre-everything, because of the issues I have. I sometimes get told I look 17 or at best 18
. And when you have a girl's ID, appearing to look under age just sucks!
