I've been really uncomfortable with myself lately even though people keep saying I do pass and I tend to pass (if I keep my mouth shut :p)to strangers. So I thought I'd put some pictures up here. Do you guys have any tips to pass better? Am I paranoid? And what age do I pass as if I pass?

Definitely pass! I'd guess 18-ish.

You definitely pass, no second guessing. I'd say you look around 17-18, maybe 19. :)

Haha dude you pass with flying colors, for sure. If I saw you in person, I'd totally would know you're male; wouldn't even bat an eye. Tips to pass better, well, that all depends on how you present yourself. Like, physically, you're totally fine, but tips other than that... Make sure you walk with a slouch and NEVER sway your hips. When sitting, don't let your legs touch, always keep them apart. And when you're out in public around strangers, guys have a way of acknowledging each other. Do the 'chin nod' thing (you know what I'm talking about, right?) at other guys when walking by, just as a form of acknowledgment, like saying 'sup,' which is cool, cuz you won't even have to speak  ;) I find it really amps up the masculinity. There's tons of other tips I could give (I've been passing for 4 years as a guy, and I'm not even on T), but these are my basic ones, and you've probably even heard these before. Don't be self conscious, you look great! Nothing to worry about, man.

Hey guys :) I'm pretty new here, so I figured I should ask: Do I pass?? In person I'm only 5'2", so that's a huge factor of it, but my voice is fairly deep on its own (I'm not on T or anything yet, but that's probably obvious). I generally pass about 80% of the time in person. People just say I look SUPER young. I've been told on average that I look like a 10 year old boy, but trust me, I'm not. I'm actually much older than you would think. Check out my avatar compared to these pics, though. To mohawk or not to mohawk, that is the question. Most days I don't, because I don't like wasting time doing my hair in the morning, that's a dysphoria thing for me. But people tell me I pass better and look much older with the 'hawk. What do you guys think? Any tips? Comments?

Yes, you do look very young. You pass.. but as an 11 year old skater boy. I think maybe a different style of clothes maybe?

I'd say in those pics you're definitely right about passing as about 10 or 11. The 'hawk definitely makes you look a few years older, I'm totally jealous. I can't do a 'hawk because my hairline screams 'girl' but your hairline definitely doesn't hinder your passing.

Sometimes, it's hard to find words to tell you how much you mean to me. A lot of times, I don't say anything at all. But I hope someday, you'll understand, having you is what I live for...(I Love you my Queen )

I would certainly assume you was a guy if i saw you, but you do have some soft features (which is not a bad thing at all, you have lovely eyes) which makes you look young. I'd say about 15-17.

Your face is very young looking, but your outfit is exacerbating the effect. I'm not sure what to suggest, but a different look might make you look older. A jacket and tie, maybe? :-\

Of course you do Jossef, you're looking manly! Been thinking about you, hope all is going better.

So  I got a haircut and I want to see what you guys think of it.



I feel like I still look like a scrawny 13 year old.

Hey, I'm new here and was just wondering if I pass and if there is anything I can do to help me pass better. I'm pre everything.

So I'm pretty new here and just recently coming out (although i've known i'm transgender my whole life, i couldn't accept it and neither did my friends, so i just told everyone i liked girls - i didn't specifically say i was gay or lesbian - and would secretly bind in my bedroom when i was left home alone). I'm now at a very LGBT friendly school (freshmen in college) and i finally feel ready to come out.
So.....do i pass?

Your face still looks feminine.. I'm guessing you're still pre-T, correct me if I'm wrong but if you are testosterone will rid your face of those feminine features.

I think you could pass with the right clothes at the moment being pre-T. Like I mentioned, testosterone will definitely make you look more manly.

I don't think you pass. I don't know how old you are but you look pretty young.

@ Jace - You pass on a quick glance, though for very young and (if you're not) the context of the situation would likely raise some eyebrows. Fortunately, you don't have very feminine features, just high cheek bones. T and fat distribution will make this less prominent. I do like the haircut and I think it will be age appropriate even as you start looking older.

@samsj- I say a yes for pass, just as probably younger than your actual age. Luckily, as a fellow Asian/Islander, common physical attributes of our ethnicities allow us to pass much earlier than others. (pardon if I completely misread your ethnicity).

@ Brett B.- Like Jace, you don't have overly feminine features, but high cheekbones than facial fat redistribution will harden. Other than the flamboyant hair style, theres nothing obvious that should keep you from passing after 3 months on T.

@ LeroyG- Congrats to entering long road of transitioning. While on campus you will never pass, not because you look female, but because you look like a very young boy and context will give you away. Those pre-T tend to dress younger in order to pass, so the backwards cap will help in that regard. There's not too much you can do until starting hormones so I wouldn't stress out about passing too much. Probably your best bet would be to square off your sideburns and start working out (or continue)- I suppose the working out advice would go to any of you all looking to build a more masculine physique pre-T.

I know these aren't the best pictures to see if I pass since I'm only really shown in my binder, but I think that it's good to see if you can pass without a bunch of clothes since it makes it harder, plus my main trouble with passing is focused on my face... I generally like my face, but I'm worried that it's a bit too feminine.







*also, sorry about the amount of pictures... I know you guys don't want to look at my ugly mug*
