Thank you all of answering, you've been very helpful, and thanks AlexanderC for explaining the quoting process. I guess I'll go to photobucket now ^_^


oh and androgynouspainter26 your hair is absolutely awesome so I agree you shouldn't change it ^_^ I don't know much about these things (kind of why I want to post my pic to see what other people think) but for me, you totally pass. Ryan B. you pass in my eyes too.

[em444]

Ok so here are my pics (sorry por  posting twice, I hope this is ok with forum rules). I know I don't pass, but I'd like some advice as to what I can do. Some of my problems are that I'm fat, I have random stains and pimples in my face which is all somehow feminizing, my eyes seem to be quite feminine and I have the weirdest head shape ever. I think my haircut looks nice when seen from the front, but if you look at me from the side (second pic) or from behind everything looks terrible and that has happened with every other haircut I've ever had so I don't know what to do about it :S It also seems that my plug piercing doesn't help at all but it's not like I can simply take it off :S Thanks in advance! P.S.: should I trim my eye lashes? do some people do that?  is it dangerous? (since they have a purpose) I have the feeling that mine might be too long xD.

Thank you both!   Went ahead and decided to use that picture.

By the way androgynouspainter26, I personally read you as more feminine than masculine.

[ttim0324]

Have to agree with Chuck about androgynouspainter26, your jawline and chin are quite masculine. I'm not sure what could be done to make you look more feminine to be honest, I wouldnt be able to peg you as either in person. It'd probably have a lot to do with your mannerisms.

Ryan, I love your hat! Ufortunately it looks a little bit on the big side, I'll assume it's a fitted? I've always found snapbacks make me look a bit more masculine. Perhaps due to the shorter brim. Maybe try that but I'd still peg you as male, albeit very young.

Alright-here goes nothing: While I identify as genderqueer, I still have that strong need to pass for female, so here is a picture of me (also go by my profile pic?).  It's from my best side in perfect lighting, but let me know what it is that tips everyone off-I don't have an exceptionally male face really, but it's not female either.  I'm thinking of FFS so input is appreciated.   And don't tell me to change the hair.  I will go to the ends of the earth to change anything else, but the hair stays (albiet slightly trimmed from time to time).

The face looks plenty girly to me, I wouldn't change a thing and OMG that hair, I'g give my left and right kahones if I had any for a head of hair and volume like that!

[beaver]

em444 the front looks great and I read you as male from that angle, but I do agree that the side isn't on par. I think it may be because you've cut it too short, thereby exposing your lack of sideburns, and basically a less masculine hairline on the side in general. You might benefit from growing your hair out a bit on the sides and see what you can do with that. I like your plugs though, don't find anything wrong with that, makes you look more badass.

[Dalex]

em444, I agree with what beaver said. I saw you as more male, and for the hair I think it might help letting it grow a bit, perhaps about two inches? Just a little longer should do it

Ryan yes, I would say you pass on that picture. On a side note...can I steal your hat? 

[em444]

Thank you both (Dalex and Beaver) for your answer! I will definitely let it grow a bit on the sides as you suggest, although I've had many different haircuts (different lengths) and it always looks weird from the sides, I don't get it! xD makes me hate my head quite a bit. How does the hair-line thing work? can I change it somehow or does it require T?  Again thank you so much, I'm glad I'm not doing that bad from the front xD. oh and I'm glad you like my plug Beaver, I love it too, but sometimes think it might look a bit feminine for some reason but now I'm reassured, so thanks

Well, I come from a long line of hairstylists, and the only thing I can think of that could explain how the hair on the sides go is because of a certain sway that is there. Everyone has something like that, mine is on the back of my head so my hair there tends to sway more to the left side, so really short hair does not suit me because of that.

As for the hairline, you would be amazed how everyone can grow hair if they shave the small hairs often. I'm not saying you should, since I don't know how it works with side burns. But, there is a saying, for every hair you shave, three grow in it's place, which is the reason why many women tend to wax their legs to make the hair return slower. But, T is definitely something that will help with that as well, since men tend to be usually more hairy then women.

I hope that helped

Shaved my head and need an opinion guys. Pass or no pass?

[Wil Najera]

dreadlox, shaved head looks good on you. i think u pass with it. whenever i start feeling dysphoric, i always shave my head. lol. i never let it get longer than about 1/4in anymore. it bothers me too much. its funny how hair makes me completely pass or not pass to myself, even tho i pass 200% in public. we are the most judgemental on ourselves...

[em444]

That was an awesome explanation Dalex! thank you so much, I'll take all that into account

[Dalex]

Dreadlox, I would say a definite pass!

And you are most welcome em444! I'm glad I could be of any help

[androgynouspainter26]

Thanks everyone for your responses.  You've confirmed what I already know; Dr. Spergal should have his work cut out for him, as should my bank account 

That's just my luck I suppose.  And to think that this all could been avoided had my parents let me take blockers.

[DreadLOX]

Thanks Guys! I feel much better about the shaved head!

I hope I pass I was trying out a new style. Excuse the mess I was in my girlfriends messy room lol

Yup, it's fitted.  I usually prefer snapbacks anyways, but that's my only Batman hat.

Ryan yes, I would say you pass on that picture. On a side note...can I steal your hat? 

Yes, but you'll have to follow a series of Riddler clues to find it!

Max, that looks like my room!

Anywho, I think you pass in the suit jacket. It makes your shoulders look broader and covers any curves you may or may not have. Good choice!

Hi.
I'm not very good at taking pictures of myself. This was taken during an event and I was pleased with it.

Yes/no?
