You seriously just made my day, man.  Here I was thinking I was just going to look like a big, goofy girl until I'd been a year on T.  :p

Ok. I'll post two pics.

Just woke up.

Is there anything I can do pre T?

My voice gives me away. But with my hair or something? I am gendered female 50% of the time. Maybe it's my chest giving me away? On the second image I wear a binder.

Or maybe I just need to wait for T to do the trick? More facial hair and stuff.

You're right that the second image is very good . . . it think it shows that how masculine your face looks depends on what angle someone's looking at you from.  As for the first image, that angle makes your face look soft.  Losing some weight might help (Lord knows I'm trying to lose weight myself), or you could wait for T to work its magic and do some fat redistribution on you. 

There's probably some way to do makeup so that it accentuates the angles in your face rather than the curves, but then of course you'd be wearing makeup, which up close will read very female. I wish I had better advice.

I started going to the gym again. Been a member for 4 years. Not been there enough. Haha. Tomorrow is next time I'll go. Core and back training. I'll end with the x-trainer. Maybe I'll lose some weight in a couple of months.

Never used makeup. I'll look like a halloween ghost if I try to put makeup on myself. [emoji2]

All right, here goes . . . I know I don't pass well, but I'm curious about which picture I pass best in.

Picture 1, taken in June of this year: It's not a bad pic of me, but my feeling is that I look 100% feminine here. 



Picture 2, taken last week: I think the new glasses help, and the lack of a goofy smile keeps me from looking totally girly.  It's blurry af, though, and I look sorta grim.  I'm not actually a grim person.



Picture 3, also taken last week:  I look like a total fat ****, but wth, I am a total fat ****.  Not thrilled with the squinty eyes (I was looking into the sun), but at least I don't look like somebody just died.



Do people have any preferences among the pictures?

The glasses made a huge difference, honestly. They seemed to slightly elongate your face. I do agree with you in that I read 'female' in the first posted image but the last two (especially the middle one) are much more male-leaning. Also, you have great texture to your hair.

Ok. I'll post two pics.

By and large, you're very masculine. I keep looking back to your face and, even though I don't see any notably 'feminine' features, there's some weird little subtle thing that lingers in the background. It's not immediately apparent and it's certainly not at the forefront.
Have you ever seen those guys that take pre/post photos with subtle but extremely poignant changes almost right off the bat? Things you can't necessarily put your finger on but the difference is night and day? I think you're going to be one of those guys.

Thanks, TransAm!  That's reassuring to hear.  I hope T works its magic on me quickly.  Last night someone called me "Miss."  (I don't like "Ma'am" much, but I get it.  But "Miss?"  I'm 45 years old!)

Interesting, TransAm. I think I'll have to check out before and after pics.
