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

Yeah, well, I did a couple of times too... but I really felt they made passing a lot harder for me. And I like the short hair as well. Tho' it's getting quite long lately. I think I'm gonna get a bit chopped off.

...I have a badass side profile?


Damn badass acne at least.

You look male and that's what is most important right?
And for the acne there is creams and lotions and all that yadda-yadda which may help you a little.

[Erik Ezrin]

Tossu-Sama, apart from the acne you look good! And fully male indeed. I know your pain, it really sucks :s When I was around 14/16 I had freaking TERRIBLE acne, even worse than yours :x I really felt like "->-bleeped-<- you body! You are giving me moobs, periods and acne, but not a low voice, and muscle and hair growth! Why do I only get the bad stuff!?"
It's still not fully gone, but at least down to a manageable level. The comeback of acne flareups is probably one of the effects of T I'm LEAST looking forward to.

If you want you can have my hair growth...

@ 930310 and Erik Ezrin:
Thanks, it's nice to know I actually look male instead of just thinking I look like one. I have this problem of not knowing if I pass pretty much all the time because of the lack of sirs and ma'ams and also gendered pronouns.

I've always had some form of acne but never THIS bad. And I sort of realized how bad it is all of a sudden but it's definetly thanks to T. And it's not just my face, it's spread across my shoulders and every now and then it's trying to creep down my arms. @_@
But I've tracked down one thing that makes it much worse in a very short amount of time - quite literally overnight - and it's chocolate. Fortunately I'm not a fan of it but I kinda miss some chocolate bars like Snickers, they're my favorite. :c
I'm seriously considering to see a doctor about this but I think I'll try some pharmacy stuff first that I can get without a prescription... just because I'm a stubborn Finn.

But I'm trying to think that if I act like I don't care that my face looks more like something from a pizza ad it makes other people pay less attention to it as well. Or then they're just staring at my pedo stache piercings. |D

Tried to do the fake facial hair thing and felt sorta badass. I didn't do it that great and the pictures are kind of blurry but it was a good feeling to see what I would look like on testosterone. I added some sideburns too.

Kinda got a Will Smith thing goin' there - Def Badass

Looking cool, man I noticed that when I did my mascara facial hair, it was badly done and everything, but it made me feel super good about myself. I think it can be a cool little confidence boost for some people!

[Calder Smith]

Thanks 930310!

Jason - I'm going to try the mascara thing today; maybe it'll work better because I ended up getting hair and vaseline everywhere trying this method. 
I'm experimenting with makeup currently anyways. I've never really used makeup unless it was nail paint.

[Erik Ezrin]

You should just try what works best for you, I used makeup/mascara at first too.
And yes, you look pretty badass dude! Awesome!

I once got a comment on trans sub-forum of a non-trans forum (so more cis than trans people there) from a couple of cispeople who were like "Yeah, peace man. Totally cool you're trans. You look masculine too! BUT the facial hair makes you look like a perv/creepy nerdy gamer dude, no offence, but I'd just wait till you get a REAL beard once on hormones!" I'm sure the person meant well, but it yet made very clear to me that cispeople live in such a different world than us. I am just happy to look like a REAL guy, and don't even care if that's a creepy gamer dude (hey, I am a nerdy, geeky, gaming dude, so except for the 'creepy' it wasn't so far off! XD), and fuss about little things concerning appearance beyond gender.
And besides that didn't I think he was right, but pff whatever. Sometimes I wish cispeople could be trans for a day, then they would understand us SO MUCH better!
