Do I Look, or Could I Pass, as Female? 3.0

[Trillian]

Attempt to style my growing hair in a feminine way. Can`t wait visiting hair stylist in couple of weeks. Started laser therapy and quite happy with the result, looks like beard shadow is not that visible now. Wondering if I should make my eyebrows thinner.



P.S. Excuse the bathroom selfie, the light there was better

Yes. You may try trimming eyebrows. You have lovely eyebrows and eyes. For feminization, some trick may be needed for your jaw line.

Some no-filter pics, pre-HRT:

your future selfies are very pretty

Thank you! They help ease my dysphoria. I'm getting better at editing them too, because at first most of my facial features were indistinguishable due to the amount of filters I put on them to make it look realistic, but now I've found the right balance of natural looking filters to blend into the picture and essentially recreate the look of foundation. It's not easy to make a wig applied with an app look realistic, but I try, haha.

Here I am, do I look ok? Could I pass outside of the salt marshes?

Well I'm pretty darned partial to The Marsh Monster, so yes I'd say that you pass with flying colors. Watch out though because someone will probably jump your bones.

So, I went out in an attempt at girl mode (which basically means a padded bra and a femme top) to the mall with a friend, and well it was really uneventful.  I swear, I got stared at far less than when I wear male clothes these days (kids stare at me constantly in guy clothes, a couple stared for like a second but didnt seem to find anything of note).  I wish I could say I was comfortable, but to be honest I was rather nervous.  My friend says I pass, but it all still feels a little too good to be true.  These are with very very light makeup (I can pick out the facial hair shadow, but I think it was barely noticable), a little bit of plucking, a padded bra, but otherwise pretty much how I always look.  Soooo, was I passing? If not, suggestions?

So here is I.

Guy mode candid shot. I'm not wearing makeup or had my eyebrows done, or laser yet. My hair is sweeped back slightly and behind my shoulders. I usually have it more like my avatar. But I wanted to show my cheeks and jaw line.

This is 3 months HRT. I don't know why my nostrils aren't symmetrical here. And it looks like I have a lazy eye. Isn't that wierd? o.O

Can click to enlarge.



No glasses. Moved the light.



My forehead skin is a bit of a mess because I had about 20 or so comedone extractions done a few days before. So the top discoloration will peel off in a few more days with retinol (I know my skin). Usually it's much smoother and flawless with that bright asian like glow. But this is fluorescent lighting here. So blah. But I don't want to cheat my photo either...

Personally I feel I am not photogenic, what I see in person in 3 dimensions looks so much better than this. But I felt I owe a pic of myself and to stand in front of the firing squad like so many here have done. So here's my first shot.

Evelyn,
       You have marvelous features and are quite attractive even in guy mode, I'm convinced that you will have a stunning outcome on your transition. I am an Asian chickster aficionado from way back, so I know you will be terrific!

[Shantel]

I see a really darling young woman emerging, and you look so radiant and happy!

You have rather nice features to work with, I think you will do quite well

[Shantel]

OMG you're going to be a real winner too hon!

[Shantel]

I would expect that you will come darn close Evelyn!

[stephaniec]

ok that's cool. The reason why I'm "getting myself out there" at this point is because I'm one step away from starting laser and trying to decide. I think it will help soften my face up a lot. The above photo's are a 10 hour shadow. And I hate it. Once I get laser finished, there's obviously no going back. I'll be in androgyne mode forever. I have no idea what 10 more months of HRT is going to do for me. But I have some ideas.

I really wouldn't mind if I end up something like this:

quite possible

Here are some selfies

Not sure if I pass still, my nose has been making me judge myself, as well my chin, so its a bit annoying.





Thoughts would be helpful

AshleeLC, you look great! I'd definately pass you, only though I have is well, hair, Id let it grow out, but thats biased cause I just like long hair.  You look so young and cute, Hard to come up with suggestions.  Like you mentioned, face has ever so slight masculine features, but really quite a lot less than manynatal female, and nothing at all to worry about for sure.
