3 months on T. I'm cursed with a baby face.

I'm with you there bro...  I just keep telling myself I'll be glad for it when I'm 40 and look 30yrs old

You look fine for 3 months! Water retention tends to cause the "fat face" associated with testosterone; I'm almost at seven months and only now is it starting to deplete. I can relate with the lips issue though. I've put a very fine amount of concealer on mine to make them appear not so red, although it fades pretty quickly and looks kinda dumb. In your case, it doesn't really affect your ability to pass, so no worries.

When you put it like that...I should be grateful.

I see. I think it's just my webcam because when I look in the mirror in real life, it's not that red. Oh well, it is what it is!

Lucaas,  You look great in a t-shirt, your chest looks flat like any cis guy your size.  Would like to say your size before binding and how you are binding?  I am about a b/c and sure would like to look as flat as you do in a t-shirt.

I feel bad that I never replied to this! I'm somewhere around a 34 B, I think. And I haven't measured myself in inches in months and my body shape has been changing, but I still wear a small Underworks binder. Sorry if this is no longer relevant!

I'm almost seven months on T, and while I'm not really concerned about passing (I pass completely, I suppose, based on reception) - I'm concerned more about if I pass as my age (18). I've gotten mixed opinions, from people saying I look 15-16, to others saying I look my age. Personally I think I look younger, but I'm curious all the same. And, to be honest, I feel a bit discouraged about how little I've changed, even if people keep saying otherwise...

Also, the last two images are of me, seven days post-shave. My facial hair is sparse and icky, and I kind of want reassurance to keep clean-shaven, because I feel pressured to have some hair in attempts to look like an 18 year old male.

It helps most people pass but it's question of when you will start passing consistently. For you, probably immediately depending on your current voice. If not there yet, it would probably be when your voice drops and how your speech pattern is like.

Whoa, you look incredible, dude. I like your eyebrows ah, I think you look 17 or 18. A bit older in the last two pics.

T will do wonder for you. Although I personally think that your face already passes

Cheers Joey. I think the haircut helps aswell, with a different hair cut my face still looks quite feminine. So this is my hair cut for the foreseeable future. Plus when I smile properly, that also gives it away.

Looking good in your new binders btw, and I love the shirt.

Marchellow- yea that's more what I meant, to pass all the time. I do sometimes pass now, until I talk and it's quite a big give away. To be honest if my voice was lower I'd probably pass 90% of the time without T. Oh, that and those awful man boobs I have.

[AbeLane]

JJones - I agree with everyone on this. Your face is passing already and I'm sure T will help with the voice and stuff.

Joey - I agree. You're lookin good!

You guys are inspiring me to get a haircut.

Wow, 25? I don't even think I could pass for being 20. Thanks.

Thank you :3 Haha, not the first time I've been complimented on my eyebrows. Funny that the facial hair makes me look older, because I was told by a couple of friends that it's way too scraggly and 'try hard' for someone my age, so it makes me look like a 16 year old, but eh.

[Aeryn Zaher]

All of you look fantastic. I'm really hoping to find a therapist and start T within the year. I hope I get results like you have.

Nah, it depends on the individual. My brother is 19 and has been blessed with good facial hair genes, haha, but even his is patchy in some places. Facial hair takes a good few years to grow to its full potential anyway, so it's one of those things that differs person-to-person.

Definitely pass to me, and your hair looks cool. And I like your shirt

Hi
I don't pass (99% of the time). What do you think I can do with my hair or something to pass better ?

please don't quote the link of the picture I would take it off later

Hey Ka don't be so hard on yourself I think your face looks pretty masculine to me. I'd say maybe going a little bit longer on the sides it would help masculinize your jaw line a bit more. You and I actually have similar haircuts expect I keep my hair a tad bit longer. I usually ask my barber for a 3 or 4 on the sides and about 2 maybe 3 inches of the top. The shorter your hair is the more attention it's going to bring to your facial features. Also undercuts FTW!!!

[ka]

Thanks for your advice. And what do you think about junction ? (I'm not sure of the translate, but hairs between the side and the top, I can't say if it's better or not with junction...)

(I say that about my passing because people say madam to me most of the time)

You mean like a disconnected undercut. That could work but I'd say grow out the top a bit more since you'll need extra space to cut in between. You might want to fade the sides a bit too. Don't sweat it just experiment around. Before I found my current haircut I had this terrible Justin Bieber cut that just didn't work for me. Don't be afraid to talk to your barber or stylist. Bring a picture too of what you might want trust me a visual helps a lot.
