This pic just because I look all sexy out on the frozen lake.

Cool picture. Shame you didn't fall in  (kidding)

Lol it was a close call. A bunch of us were standing on one piece and it started to sink like the titanic. I was Rose well the rest of my friends were Jack

. I would have risked it as well... in the nude though. Kidding!

[Erik Ezrin]

It was worth it anyway. It's a badass pic for sure!

Warning: Photo-spam ahead! First off, just a random picture of me:



Hip pass with a tucked-in shirt? The pants are baggier than they look, camera doesn't pick that up very well with thick grey sweats apparently.


You guys think I can get away with not binding in this? 


Close-up:

You totally pass dude, no worries. Absolute adorbs too =)

[Jack_M]

Only thing to watch is light + that grey/white top.  If it isn't totally opaque, in bright light it may allow folks to kinda see through it a little and give you away which would be embarrassing.  Sometimes best to have darker shirts if you're not going to bind.

[Liminal Stranger]

DirtyFox- Thanks!

Jack- I think I was binding in that shirt, it's not entirely opaque but I was only wearing it as an undershirt anyway. Just curious as to how my hip shape holds up when I tuck in a cotton shirt that actually fits, happened to have it on under a jersey so I figured why not give it a try XD Thanks for the feedback!

Your hips are fine.  Take it from a bad hip dude, I'd kill for those hips!

I felt really masculine today so I decided to take some pics and post them. As of right now I'm only passing a bit on sight and as soon as I open my mouth it's a big fat no. If I remember to I can normally keep my voice at a monotone level and that seems to help, but I'm very talkative and it's hard to talk fast in a monotone. But um so yeah how do I look?



Ah just ignore my face in the second one, I was making some sort of dopey frown thing.

[Erik Ezrin]

Jace, looking good! Like your clothes in that pic too (I'd never wear so much white myself though. I'd be bound to stain it in the first min of wearing! LOL )
And I totally feel you on the speaking thing. I mostly -if not always- pass on a distance, and often (but far from always) pass close-by too, but as soon as I open my mouth *BAM!* no way I'll pass. There were even some people saying something like "Hey young man" and I just replied with a calm "Yes?" Not giving them the impression in ANY way I disagreed with their choice of gender, but still they corrected with "Ohh, I'm sorry miss!" or something like that. Urghhh!

And I always talk a lot too, lol! My voice goes all over the place...! I'm guyish in mostly everything I do, except talking, lol. I'm sure I must sound insanely girly :s

[Jace]

I'm not sure how I didn't get any stains, most of my shirts are a mess. I do a lot of ceramics and painting and it's awful, especially ceramics. Clay dust gets everywhere.

But yeah I've been passing more and more lately, but only at first. People always correct themselves. I was walking through the halls the other day and a teacher was like "Excuse me sir,?" and I turned around and replied "Yeah?" she had a momentarily look of confusion before she managed to ask "Where are you going, miss?". If only my voice was as androgynous as my body. Letting my hair grow out some also really helped with passing because just a few months ago I wasn't even passing at a glimpse. I had the sides very short and it just made my face look more feminine. Made my already luscious lips stand out even more.

Hey, So my clothes (and hat :p) are probably hindering my passing here but the thing is I'm having a dilemma between passing above all or wearing what I like and feel confident in and maybe not passing as well. I've noticed I pass better when confident too. So what do you guys think, could I pull this of?

you pass to me. 

[Erik Ezrin]

Nathaniel, I think you pass too! And I think the clothes look pretty good on you too (love the hat ). Besides that; confidence is key! When I wear clothes I love I seem to pass better, even when they might not be optimal, just because I stand there with confidence and feel strong, etc.
People will notice it when you are insecure or doubtful, which causes them to take a closer look, if you're confident and presenting as male, a lot of people assume you ARE male

Of course talking might be another hurdle... my face and body are really androgynous, for example, but when I heard my own voice for the first time I thought I was listening to a some sexy chick, lol! I'm okay with a sexy-chick-voice when the bearer of it actually IS a sexy chick, but I'd rather have a badass man voice... :/

its just the shoes that throw the look off to me, other then that I think you pass.

[Taylortots]

Hey guys!

this is my second entry on this forum.
Here is my face at 4 months on T :


Atm i'm on T for 5 months. I will post updates soon

Hope now i can pass
feel free to tell me your opinion.

Btw i'm 21 years old guy from Hungary.
My top surgery was 2 months ago. So everything is pretty fine for me atm. Good luck for everyone too

You'd easily pass by my standards.

[Erik Ezrin]

I agree. The shoes are the only part of your outfit that remotely look 'feminine'. But if it are your 'confidence shoes' I'd just keep them on anyway
If not, I'd wear other ones, or maybe don't tuck in your trousers?

They were the only thing I wore that was for girls, but I didn't actually have a choice. I don't own many shoes (most of them like that) and all of them are too feminine for my tastes, so I'll fix it.
About my voice, it's funny because it passes on the phone and when i pay close attention (when ordering something,...) but then I get talking and I get really expressive and... Goodbye voice. Also I seem to talk alot higher around my mum for some reason..

[Erik Ezrin]

Yeah, same here. Apart from the passing on the phone thing. (but then again, most people calling KNOW my parents have a "daughter", and I'm an only child. So I just keep saying to myself they just think I'm a girl because I don't sound like my parents, and they KNOW the only other person aside them is a 'girl')
When I get excited about something I get pretty expressive, in voice and face, which makes it totally impossible to pass :< so yeah, it sucks...
