Do I Look, or Could I Pass, as Female?

[JessicaH]

I'm not full time yet and actually have little experience being out and presenting female but been on HRT for a few years. This pic is no makeup, hair color, etc. just plain ol me. I don't think I'm where I need to be yet but feel like I'm getting there.

Jessica, my oh my lady you have come a long way, looking very pretty and so happy there. I am impressed and see no negatives!

[Aina]

Wow Christine, just simply wow! I am completely jealous how cute you look and I am sure you make more then enough cis-girls jealous also, and as someone says 200% pass for sure.

[Bardoux]

Well thank you for saying that.  I have never really asked anyone to before.  I think I have a male chin though.

Ever so slightly, but i would never have though of you as anything other than an attractive young woman!

[Bardoux]

...not long before detransitioning. I had an extremely high and female voice as well. It was....welll this is not just an opinion....it was 100% cis. Not just cisgirl, it was high pitched, SUPA femme cisgirl.

I dunno even know why I am posting here....I guess I just want it to be known...I COULD have done it. I am living as a gay boy now, and I am trying to be 100% honest about where I am at and...I AM happy. And that's not denial...I really AM happy (though, it's funny, I still pass despite being 5'11/6ft, after stopping HRT almost 100% flat chested, and short haired). I guess....I just wanted to know what you all thought of the female me :s I guess apart of me also feels I'm betraying the trans world by doing this or somehow refuting trans identities :S

The only person you should ever worry about betraying is yourself babe, and as long as your happy that's all that matters
Oh and i looked through some of the rest of the photos in the album, no wonder you get thought of as female even with short hair, you have great soft skin and a tiny waist

Well I think I finally figured out how to attach a pic so here's mine.

Holy crap.  You're in the wrong topic, hon'

You should already know how well you pass.

[Jamie D]

Well here goes nothing. Please be honest.

DEEP BREATH AND...

Alexis!  There you are 

Up until a few years ago I would have associated chin dimples with masculinity.  I was proven wrong about that.  You look like any other 40-something woman I see at the grocery store when I am shopping.

You're worrying too much.

[Jamie D]

OMG heyy Jaime, not sure if you remembaa me XD it's Stefani..hows youuu?

Hi kiddo, how have you been?  I have missed you.

I'm doing pretty good.

I just looked at your pictures.  You are cute as a boy or girl!  The one with the cap still shows you have a feminine body, chika.   

[Jamie D]

Please tell her that I miss her too.

In fact, thinking back about you two makes me want to 

You were so cute together.

[Jamie D]

Oh wow, your parents kicked you out?  And darn it, you don't have 15 posts yet.

You got together here.  Chemistry comes from the people involved.

But we try and keep this a safe place to develop those social skills that you will carry through life.  I'm glad it has worked out for you.

aw thank you. The chin is what happens when your mother forces your face to grow that way. thinking about getting it done.

[Jamie D]

If you stick around for a while, get to 15 posts, and want to chat, just shoot me a PM.

Sorry about your bank account and all.   

One of my favorite people on the site is a college student who has gone from gay boy (bottom) to transgirl to bi boy to gay boy (top) and is now taking hormones again.

Being a teen means you can experiment with gender presentation while figuring out what your real identity is.

[Alexis Hennen]

Alexis I love your hair, smile and gentle eyes and you can be the critic about that movie star's chin.

Thank you.. Again the chin is my mothers fault. I really don't like it, but it's what i got to work with.

[Jamie D]

However you find happiness and peace of mind is what works, right?

We have quite a few people here who are genderfluid, or other types of non-binaries.  So nothing really surprises me.  I am just glad you are happy.      

[Jamie D]

That makes me happy to hear. 

[Jamie D]

Oooh! But before I let you go, one thing I am curious about! Not sure if you have the answer to this, but does stopping HRT abruptly cause T levels to like SKYrocket and does this cause harsh masculanization? Cause I really don't want that. I went directly from estrogen and anti-androgen to just  anti-androgen and zero estrogen (I'm still taking the AA but that's all).

I reaaally don't want this to make me more masc :s I want to stay where I am, femme, twinky, gay boyish, if at all possible.

With many meds it is good to taper them off.  I don't really know about the rebound effect.  That might make a good topic on the HRT board.

(and psssst ... please don't post dosages LOL)

[BlondeGamer]

Hi y'all, I'm sorta new here, and I was wondering how do you post pics on here, so I can get y'alls honest opinions

[Cindy]

Hi you can post an avatar after 15 posts, it is in the Announcement area where the rules are.

To post a pic in a thread you need to use a site such as photobucket etc to load the pic from, the use the icon above the smileys to insert an image

[Alisha]

Well I think I finally figured out how to attach a pic so here's mine.

Om my goood.. I'm so jealous of you..you look so beautiful

[anjaq]

I suspect though that I may have some genetic anomalies.  I've read that if you have extra chromosomes or something of that nature your body won't respond to testosterone normally.  I have never been checked for such a thing but it wouldn't surprise me.

You really should check that out. I am aware of this condition - we always were a bit envious about those who had this because they did so not have any male features . I dont know about the US, but in Germany it is required to check for XXY chromosomes and therelike before HRT and surgeries as those could mess up any intersex biological features.
