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

Well, im very new to all of this but i was bored tonight so i figured i'd post a pic.

Pre everything, hell im not even binding(then again i wear an A if that. Still too much imo) in my eyes i can see the boyishness i just wonder what i look like in everyone elses eyes

[Erik Ezrin]

BeefxCake, when I look at that pic I see a guy. Period. Us FtM's might have an easier time 'seeing through' your physical 'disguise', but I'd prolly see you as a guy even if I didn't know you were trans. Or stick with really andro and be totally puzzled about your gender, lol!

Deeperthanswords, awesome hair dude! I might get something like that at some point. Now I'm afraid it will be a bit too flashy for a pre-T transguy tho'.

Lostforalltime, I think you pass in that pic. Cannot say anything about you IRL, but in that pic you look like a guy to me. Period.


I think I look pretty guyish in this pic (even though my hair is long. Gonna cut my dreads next week. Feeling sad about it, but it's time for a change...), especially my body shape.
Whenever I see myself with clothes I think "Dat horrible female face!" and when I go to take a bath and catch a glimpse of my naked female-ness I think "Such a masculine face for that asgfhdjfkjhkjkdhfjghkj *spaz out* feminine body!"
I hate the mirror in our bathroom. It's my mortal enemy. I cannot even avoid looking in it, the way it's placed! >:I

pre-t femininity also i'm wearing a hood to hide my hair

[rexyrex]

@iamconfused you pass to me.
@erik you looking good, pass as a young male.
@beefxcake you pass as a young male too, you look like Light from death note

[BeefxCake]

Rexyrex: oh my i do... Defitely not a bad thing at all xD

Hey guys,

My name is Shawn!
This is my first post and I thought it would be good to get strangers opinions. I am pre T ( staring in two weeks!!) and pre op.

I am from British Columbia .

Cheers

Ps. I don't have blue eyes those are contacts.

Why do you shave one eyebrow?

Nooo, not the dreads, lol. In all actuality you'll probably like the ease of care with short hair. I'm loving keeping my head buzzed. I think you pass pretty well considering you're pre T. With your body shape I think T will do wonders for you.

Don't be so sad. You look like somebody stole your puppy, lol. I could see you passing but really young.

You already pass but T will help and put some years on you. Congrats on starting in a few weeks.

Just a style thing. Just like people get lines/images on the side of their heads. It's more of an "urban" thing.

Hey thanks!

I know what you mean. People (mostly) think I am a teenage boy and certainly not (almost) 23 years old.

[rightocaito]

I can see that too! But whoever he looks like I see major hotness potential. If he's looking this good in just 2 months I cannot even imagine what he'll look like in a year. 

Y'all flatter me. Thank you all for your kind words!

[Erik Ezrin]

Shawn, I think you pass pretty well! And I never heard of the eyebrow thing before!

Iamconfused, I think you pass too! Though as pretty young.

Lol! Mwhaha! I will do it anyway! XD
And I think so too, yeah! Dreads -especially mature ones, like mine- are very easy in care as well. You actually don't have to do anything (a lot of people do, but I'm lazy). But it's still quite a weight that hangs on your head, as you hardly loose any hairs. And it takes ages to dry, etc. so yeah, it will be really nice to have shorter hair I think.
And I'm looking forward till being able to start T. Waiting lists are long though... :/

[Kei22]

I know i don't pass at all. I don't even own a binder yet and only some male tees and thats all...

Mom say'd that i look nothing like a guy....  *i'm out as genderqueer to her*

*that's not my room,i'm at a relative's house :p.

Oh and Yes. I'm insanely short....i just hate that....

dude you have an extremely masculine face. An excellent, strong chin. To me, your face (even with long hair) passes 100 percent. Ditch the skinny jeans (which dont even look good on the 12 year old girls they were made for), wear a darker t-shirt and maybe consider hair cut to emphasize your manly chin and I wouldn't look twice at you on the street.

Your face is going to be your biggest asset before you start Testosterone. Just update your wardrobe and you'll be golden.

So bottom line:
emphasize your face
take the focus off your chest by wearing darker colored shirts or shirts with patters
take the focus off your hips by wearing pants made for adult men.

[BrotherBen]

 Wow, yeah, you've got a seriously strong jawline and chin. Lucky you!

[Kei22]

Yes!! I want and will totally ditch the skinny jeans and get more "adult" clothes for men*as in boy's section*.

I'm very small and guess what...i am 24 years old xD.

I will buy clothes from asian stores and kids sections online.

Any tips?. I know i am already medium in kid size and 13 in shoes*kids too* i just need to figure out my pant size which in afult i'm maybe a 29 or less*is there are sizes more small*

And on the haircut,i would love to but I don't know which haircut can i do.

Care to tell and show?!

Thanks guys!! I knew i had a masculine face but my mom telling otherwise over and over makes me doubt.

PD: MaybeBen: I DETECT ANIME!

Your pants size is just the measurment in inchese of your waist (or wherever you prefer to wear your pants) If you are 24 then it is time to start heading for a more mature style. You should look around at men around the age 30 and see what they wear. I am hesitant to make specific clothing suggestions because I do not know where you live and each culture usually follows a unique fashion trend.  Maybe just type in "men's fashion" and search images?

As far as your haircut, again i think you should look in magazines and just pick a style you see on men with similiar features, its a good time for you to experiement. If I had your hair, I would probably be tempted to keep it long and maybe pull it back or just get a slightly more masculine angle to it or something.

Your mom is probably trying to convince herself, because I see nothing feminine about your face.

Chuck offers really good advice and let me also suggest that I see a Sylvester Stallone look about your face, you might look at his hairstyle for a starter as it seems to work for the shape of his face.

[Kei22]

Well i would look kibd of bad... because i look quite young and i love shirts...dress shirts but i doubt those clothes would fit me .

As for the haircut,and or fashion don't be afrad to suggest,in my country the dress code is like here in auS. Am actually from the Dominican Republic.

Guys here wear mostly buzz cuts and maybe,maaaybe. Some long hair. Its just more of a choice than to follow any specific trend or fashion.

In short: i can wear whatever l0l.

[Danielle Emmalee]

I think you can pass, but like many FTMs it seems to be hard to not look very young.

P.S. I'm jealous of your eyebrows (They aren't too feminine but also don't look gross)
