The Official 'Do I pass?' topic (Ver 4.0 - in 3-D)

Ok, I'm passing a bit, but not mostly. I think it's my age, as I can't look like a very much younger guy. I think my face has changed shape since I have been on T for three months.

Darkie, I'd guess you at 19-20 years. And yeah, you pass for sure, but you already knew that

And D0ll, I think you're passing pretty well from what I see on that pic. It's a bit on the edge maybe, probably because of your eyebrows, but your face-shape looks really manly to me. I'd either gender you as a butch lesbian or a gay guy right now I think. Depending on mannerisms, body and voice.

I was 20 in that pic, it was 5 years ago. I look much more feminine now... Unfortunately...

You look like one of the gentlemen that came into work today to eat! I work at a restaurant. 

[Simon]

Jay, you look GREAT! So happy for you and think you're a great inspiration to the trans community. 

[ford]

Jay,

You look absolutely terrific.

I don't usually post here but I had to say that...

[Adam (birkin)]

Yeah, I don't see why you don't pass (mostly, as you said in your post), Jay. You look male to me, I wouldn't even think about it.

[aleon515]

Thanks guys!! I think I look a bit my dad, which is not at all a bad thing.

Might be my size (5'1"), lack of body hair and no facial hair. At a certain age it would be unusual not to have facial and body hair. Strangely I think that T has masculinized my face before giving me ANY body hair. Might be my age? This is my face pre and post T

Pre-T:                                                                     11 weeks on T:

Yea, if I met you on the street I wouldn't suspect a thing. You honestly look like someone's father.

[Jared]

Wow Jay, you look really good. I don't see why you don't pass always. What I noticed is that your hands are so masculine 

[Erik Ezrin]

Jay, you pass, seriously man! You look like an awesome sweet guy too, you look better now than you did as a woman 11 years back It somehow fits you a lot better or something
If I saw you on the street I wouldn't think for a second you were a female, just sayin'

I remember seeing that pre T picture youd posted before, and unfortunately I didn't think you passed in it, but gosh, you've come far! Youre passing well now   The haircut suits you and you look happier.

Hey Jay,
      If I met you at Starbucks or out on the street I would surely clock you as a man, you really look great! The haircut, shirt and tie does if for you as well, very nice presentation! About body hair, back about 19 years ago I started shaving my legs, which I only had to do a couple of times and it never grew back. I think my lack of body hair is both age and genetics related. I had started on the facial stuff and finally quit that as well as it was pretty light back then, though I still give it a good scraping every day just for drill. So to me you look like a really nice, dignified and refined gentleman to me.

[Michael Joseph]

Thanks darkie, I'm 22 so ill take that.

Jay, you're looking really good. The pre t to now comparison is already such a huge difference!

Did you ever see me 11 years back? The other picture is 1 *year* ago, which is kind of hard to believe as I think my face has changed a lot. Funny thing, my hands have not changed-- they were always veiny like that. But they are small.

Might actually be something *else* like body language or something. Long sleeves help a bit also but it is now about 85 outside!
(and a zillion in the car). Though perhaps I pass more than I think. I almost exclusively use men's changing rooms and bathrooms and never get a sideways look.

@M.I.G.  Nah don't think I passed at all pre-T. I think I just posted.

@Shantel --body hair is an age and genetics thing. I kind of lost all my hair that I had at a certain age. I might actually get facial hair, have a wispy little 'stache right now.

Re: haircut, want to get rid of bangs. They work ok if they are combed, but I walk around the house and if I see myself in a mirror, bangs look feminine. Not sure what I'd do with it though.

[D0LL]

Jay:
I think you pass 100%! And I think your age is actually probably working in your favor, rather than against it. I can't imagine how well you'll pass after just a few more months!

Well facial hair is yet another matter, being on testosterone you can be assured that you'll have some whiskers. I use a tiny amount of T cream to have some kind of libido and even that causes what facial hairs I have left from several years of electrolysis to become rather course and I get some hair on my forearms which I never had before, my wife likes it. I'm not your typical MtF so it works for my cis spouse.

Let me say once again that I think your transitional outcome is remarkable, you look really great!

[Nygeel]

Just from hip to neck, not looking at the seam (cause this shirt is big and none are tight enough to show the seam). I was trying out a new binder here. I didn't like the way it felt but I think it gets me flat enough. Sadly it doesn't also suck in m stomach like a 997.

[KamTheMan]

Nygeel, is it a tri top? Whatever it is it gets you crazy flat so that's great. I've been disappointed with how my 997 has been binding my chest but I need the stomach compression so badly right now, I've put on so much weight in my gut. You look great tho!

[ty.to.the.man]

nygeel, looks great! yeah i always hated that about the tri-top, its great for binding, but made my belly look 10x bigger lol

[Nygeel]

It's a tritop, but the bottom rolls up weird so I just folded the bottom up until it reached around the bottom of my chest. It feels a little better but doesn't feel so great. I tend to just wear the 997 because the fat on my hip bones is...well...it's very there. Shirts don't fit unless I've got some binding on my hips and belly.
