I too apologise if I offended you with my post, perhaps we both misinterpreted what this is about. I assumed that you, like the other guys here wanted constructive criticism on what might help them pass better, from the first page: "This is meant to help give advice and constructive criticism. Remember there is a difference between being truthful and being rude." It doesn't benefit everyone if we just applaud each other when they don't pass. I don't post here often because on when its borderline and people are saying they pass I think there is a minute culture difference between the US and the UK which makes me see a lot of people as women, and I leave them be. However in this case I thought I might be able to suggest some generic things which might help you as you seemed keen to pass. No one here expected you to do those things immediately, or that you're less of a man because you haven't done them already, they were more things which someone could work towards. If I posted a photograph and someone suggested a different haircut I wouldn't go and do it the next day, because that's impractical.
No one was saying you absolutely had to do those things to be a man, and a lot of people hear our advice but choose not to take it because of style. Others sacrifice their own style slightly in order to be able to pass, and that's equally as fine, it depends which is more important to the individual. The sad truth is that most guys without T cannot pull off long hair and feminine items such as piercings whilst still being read as male. They have to choose. Even some cis guys can't do long hair and passing all of the time, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row is an example which always comes to mind.
I understand that T is probably a sore subject for you. I only mentioned a second opinion because there are people who thought/assumed/heard they would never be able to take it, but have been able to and are fine. I obviously don't know what your health problems are, and I'm no doctor, it was merely a suggestion if you hadn't fully checked with your doctor. We obviously don't want you doing something which would seriously harm you of course.
Don't judge this site based on hearing what you didn't want to hear on this thread. No one wants to hear that they don't pass, but we just assumed that you wanted pointers like the rest of us.
