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

Well, thanks guys. I have very little self-confidence.

Beaver, my eyebrows look masculine? I think they're feminine looking like my eyes.

It's all about the shape, man.

@xenguy

You could never pass as female looking like that...

you look totally cis male

[dylanjakoby]

[Shantel]

Yeah, you're a good looking kid! The red framed big sunglasses scream girl though! You already have delicate facial features and big glasses only tend to exacerbate it.

[randomdude5]

Dude, I don't know if its the lighting, or if you got on T (?), but you look way older now... At least to me.

They were 5 dollars and they match my car and i needed sunglasses so i got them haha.

I am about 8 months on T now, i finally don't look 12 anymore!!!!

[Chris R.]

You guys simply look stunning!




I'm still Pre-T, even though I have a baby face I think I pass.

You look cisgender. I would have never guessed you weren't if you hadn't said anything.

[Chriskon]

@castle of glass

Not on T yet. still in the process :/

[Erik Ezrin]

Chreestophaw, I agree with Declan. You look totally cis! Of course I cannot say anything about your voice, body shape, way you carry yourself, etc. which often is even more important than 'just' the face.
I am pretty tall and look generally pretty andro/masculine, for example, but because my voice clearly is female, I hardly ever pass when I speak. And I also got a babyface. It's common amongst transguys I think, lol Actually quite logical, cause pre-puberty guys ALSO have a babyface. The testosterone gives them the masculine look, and cause we don't have natural T... we all have these 'cute' and 'round' babyfaces, lol. One slight reassurance might be; it goes away!

[CursedFireDean]

I told you guys that once I put contacts in, I'd post again, so here you go. I feel pretty good about how I look today.

I think you look a lot more male with no glasses. And, it looks like you've gotten your hair cut since the last picture; that makes a difference as well.

You look good!

[Shantel]

You do look as a quite typical teenage guy. And I was a bit astonished to see this picture because of Your facial features, which resembled very much someone I knew. It was almost like looking back into past...

He does for sure!

[Whynaut]

First off, I need a haircut but as I'm not out at work I need to be careful of what sort of cut I get so I'm undecided at this point. I'm thinking of getting another faux hawk, but I feel too old for that style now. I don't know that I would spike it up but the option would be cool. Anyway, here is me trying to pass with my petite frame. What do you guys say? Posture, facial expression, clothing? Is my binder okay? I feel like I look lumpy from the front, but look okay from the side.

Sorry about the purple color -- my phone camera is ->-bleeped-<-.

All I request is that you don't quote the images. I'll take them down shortly because I'm a bit paranoid about having my picture online [wish I could be out and making cool YouTube videos about my transition, but I need to watch out for my career, too].

Hope you don't mind as this isn't my forum but I felt compelled to comment, you look just fine and you're right, a more boyish hair cut is going to do you a favor. Just go to a barber shop and tell the barber you want a regular male type haircut. As for the lumpy concerns, the pattern on the shirt works in your favor but the button down patch pockets on the chest tends to visually exacerbate any moobage concerns. I've had to deal with that as I don't generally present in a really female mode like the MtF folks prefer to do and I steer clear of shirts with button down breast pockets.

....

I think you look great! Maybe trying a more "male" haircut will favor your ability to pass?

[Dalex]

So, lately what has been bothering me very much lately is my voice, especially when I sing. Singing is something that when I can loose myself in it, I greatly enjoy. But lately I have just kept my mouth shut when I have the chance, since just hearing my voice sends a shiver down my spine since it sounds so feminine to me.

This is how I sound. Well, singing at least. Can't really record myself talking since, well, I'm not alone at the moment. So, I thought I would just do a short recording of me singing as deep as I can go, and it is in the same depth I have been trying to always speak. What do you all think? Can't wait to start T, mostly due to the voice change that will come of it.

[Dalex]

CursedFireDean Looking good! The jacket suits you well and that haircut is lookin' good! I would say a very much pass.

Whynaut, you actually look like a guy I used to work with. The only difference is that his hair is slightly curlier, shorter and he is blond

[Whynaut]

@Shantel: Thanks. c: I was hoping the pockets on the shirt would cause them to focus on the clothing instead of the body beneath it but I could be wrong here.

@930310: Thanks. I want to pass so badly it's all I can focus on sometimes. I definitely need a male haircut. I have some I've been considering but the next step is finding the right place to go.

@Dalex: Cool! I'm glad I look somewhat male at least.
Also, hearing your voice definitely makes me think male (and makes me jealous because mine is small and squeaky). You sound like a young guy and a good vocalist on top of that.

[Dalex]

Thanks Whynaut, it means a lot to hear that Though, when I listen to the recording, all I hear is a female voice sadly... But it does give me confidence that a stranger reads the voice as male
