The Offical 'You Look Badass, Dude' Topic (Ver 2.0)

[Lajs]

You're so muscular - I'm very envious!

[Justin 21]

1 weeks facial hair growth

[Simon]

My big hairy head.

[Adam (birkin)]

Wow Simon. I knew you had facial hair before T (seen pics) but it looks like it's filled in even more in your time on T.

[Erik Ezrin]

Simon, looking goood! Awesome beard, man!
Justin, before you know it you'll have a beard like Simon! The beginning is made!
Mr.X, wow, badass muscles! You really don't wanna see my arms. Scrawny as HELL, lol! And definitely looking good, even if your eyes are 'girly' (I'm sure it's just all in your head or something, but I can't judge with the glasses, obviously)

[Mr.X]

Simon and Justin, how much I envy that facial hair. Makes you both look rugged. Love it! I can't wait for it to come in, but that's likely months away. How long on on T did it take for you two to be able to grow some?

Regarding my work-out/muscles...I can't say I have worked out a lot. Not as much as I wanted to, at least. I think the picture is just flattering because of the light, and because my arms are folded? I don't know. But thanks anyway!

[Taka]

@X: yeah, sunglasses are badass. always

all you other guys look enviably badass as well. it's somewhat inspirational, i think i'll start sewing some male wear for myself. my wardrobe misses a few traditional costumes for the man who's still mostly hiding inside.

and for the sake of badassedry:

i can do it even in pink...

and twice as badass, with a hat to go with the shades (that's when i also wear a black coat and kids start asking why i look like a spy. cia would look like kittens in comparison)




yeah, me and my wishful thinking...

[Erik Ezrin]

Taka, you just made pink badass
And hats are awesomely badass too! I wish I could still wear my favourite hat... my dreads have gotten too big! Lol.

Managed to tie a tie yesterday. Felt pretty badass and made this picture

And now we're talking about hats... this one too! (it only SEEMS to fit 'cause of the angle, lolol!)

So this one I was at my friend's house and one of the little kids (3 years old) decided she wanted to do my make-up. All the while saying "He bootiful!"

But this is how I look normally

[Simon]

Your hair looks awesome in this pic. Very Rob Zombie-ish.

[Ponyboy]

Erik - I am LOVING those dreads.  Awesome.

[Erik Ezrin]

Thanks guys! Love my dreads too! I'm looking forward to the day I don't have to keep thinking they might hinder my passing in any way (they're still long hair :/) and just rock them like an awesome dude! Together with a goatee, ofcourse ofcourse (:

dpadgett, looking good too! Somehow I always feel like other transguys pass WAYY better than I do, though it's probably just in my head. :s

[Wolf Man]

@dpadgett: I'm not sure whether it's the 3-years-old's make-up style or the head-on picture, but you pass for MUCH older in the first pic compared to your normal pic. I'd call 16-19 for the first pic where as the second pic I'd call 10-13.

u look a lot older and a lot hotter without glasses. It seems the glasses make you look younger and give you more of a cuter look, But you look great in both pics.

Thanks bro! You look like you would pass way more often than I do. You have a much more masculine face

Its probably the 3-year-old's make up style I think I look funny without my glasses, but that's probably because I'm so used to seeing myself with them. Here...

I always thought that my glasses made me look older and defined my face more, but like I said, I do look at myself everyday so it could just be in my head.. Thank you though!

[Joe.]

dpadgett628: I have to agree with everyone else here, you look and pass a lot better without your glasses. I'm not even sure why it is, you just look a lot older. You pass with glasses too but I think you look better without. I wear glasses so I know what it's like feeling weird without them on and thinking you look weird but trust me you don't haha.

Hm.. Maybe when I'm due for the eye doctor again, I'll try contacts then.

[Erik Ezrin]

They do look pretty nice on you, but you indeed look older without them. I think you pass in both pics, but the last one as 15/16 and the first as 12/13
Contacts, or maybe a different model of glasses, would be a good idea, yeah!

Thanks bro! You look like you would pass way more often than I do. You have a much more masculine face

Wow, thanks man! I still cannot see anything masculine in my face, but guess it's just all in my head then. Frankly I have NO idea how often I pass. I kept track of it, and in four months time only someone gendered me ONCE (and it was "Hey girl, do you know the way to (...)" unfortunately. Right the day after I started paying notice) for the rest it were all people who knew me, so they obviously all gendered me as female, but that says nothing about my passing either.
Maybe I get read as androgynous most of the time, and people don't know what to say and thus avoid pronouns or things like "boy"/"girl"?

Something funny is that I also have a video on YT where I'm talking a bit about my dreads, and I expected everyone to be all like "Dude! You look like a girl!" and "You have such a high voice! Are you 12 or something!? Or... a girl?" but NO ONE said anything. There weren't many people commenting, but the ones that did didn't question my gender! (amazingly enough. Lol)

[jossef-ftm]

i dont know if i should put a pic here too cause im not on T yet

[Faun]

T is not required to be a badass dude, and you are a great example of that c;
