Hey everyone! I've gotten advice from you all, and others, to get a haircut, I finally had the balls to go out and do it a few days back.  So... Do I pass?

Nice cut! I'd say it's a pass, especially with the haircut; I don't have an older pic to compare to but if you weren't passing before, this is a huge leap in the right direction. Granted, you don't look like a super old/mature guy, but a guy's a guy, right?

@AndrewB
Thank you! ^_^
For comparison sake, this was my hair before

It wasn't doing me any favors, but I harbor a secret dream of being Johnny Depp.
Also I forgot to add, I'm only seventeen and pre-T, so my hopes are that it (my face, heh) will get better with time and T.

@Epicene Oh yeah, definite improvement! Medium-length hairstyles are great, but hard to pull off when first trying to pass, usually, I've found. Trust me, I've been there!

Also T can do wonders for baby faces, you're preaching to the choir; I was Mr. Chubby Cheeks until I started working out and taking T, but I don't think I could have gotten rid of it so quickly just doing one and not the other, but those are my unfortunate circumstances, not yours.  ;)

Hey guys,
I bought a compression undershirt so I can wear tighter white shirts and looking like a regular undershirt, not obviously a binder.
What do you think, does my chest pass?

It looks really good under darker shirts, but I'm not really sure with white.
(Also, on the mirror it's not dirt, it's not on the surface  :-X )

Looks great! I'm gonna try that and branch out to those types of men clothing. XD
Is that Underworks?

Yup, total pass on the chest! Good find! Also, I think it looks fine either way, under the white, it adds a nice contrast, and under a darker shirt I'm sure it looks good too.

No, not Underworks, with shipping to Europe it's the most expensive stuff ever. It's this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Men-Sleeveless-Corset-Transgender-Skirt-Chest-Binder-Belly-Binder-/161563809105?pt=US_Mens_Tshirts&var=&hash=item259df41551
I wore it to work today and sometimes it's itchy and I don't really like the compression on the stomach too. But it's not as thight as a binder and it doesn't look like one. So far this is the only one I could find that isn't too expensive, not layered and full length. If any of you know anything like I described please don't hold it back  :D
And thanks, I'm glad it works  :)

Have you looked into Gc2b binders? I'm not sure how their European shipping prices are but the binders are reasonably priced, good quality, and are full length without compression all the way down (it stops about where a tri-top would in terms of binding). Might want to give them a try!

Yep I have. The shipping fee alone is equal to the cost of the binder  :-\ 20$ is ok, but 40 not really. I'm sad about it, cause they really look good and it's exactly what I would need. But thanks for the idea! :)

I recently ordered a binder from CG2B ad their shipping prices were quite a sting (about 20 odd dollars) not to mention currency conversion added more, but with all the reviews I've seen I'm hoping its worth the dollars!

On another thing, I got my 21st coming up and decided to try myself in a rather fancy outfit. I'm usually a casual dress so I'm not sure how this will go down, but I was wondering how I'm going

I tried my large glasses with it too. I ended up getting the waist coat a size too small, but I have an incentive to lose weight.
I'm not too sure about my tie so I took a few pics with a few ties here (these ones have my slim every day glasses)

http://i.imgur.com/HgKujJz.jpg (red tie, has skulls on it)
http://i.imgur.com/13ZZVqS.jpg (bowtie, personal fav)

I also want to cut my hair before my birthday too, as my hair is starting to get too long to pass. I've been  told the under cut but I'm worried as I have a real baby face and it puffs out more with certain styles. What do you guys recommend? I'm up for anything

Definite pass. You look very handsome and dapper with the bow tie and the waistcoat not open  ;). IMO the grey tie and grey waistcoat is a little bit too matchy and I just think somehow the bow tie looks better than the red tie. Not sure about you having an undercut as your face isn't super thin, but there are many types of undercut so I think it may be possible it'll suit you, if you go to the right barber who can work with your face shape. I have an undercut and was suprised how good I look with it as I have a roundish face. Also I use Prospectors Gold Rush pomade which my barber uses, bit pricey but lasts you a long time and works great. Have a happy 21st  :)
They/them pronouns preferred.

Thanks! I had a feeling the bowtie would be the most optimal choice. I did find longish undercuts so I'm hoping possibly that will work.  And tanks!! I'm hoping my 21st is going to be one hell of a blast!

I certainly am! Your brows look darker, your face has thinned out from what I can tell, and you just overall have a more masculine feel. T is doing you good!   :)

looking good so far, lionheart! I've found those style of glasses to help a lot.

Also, I went for a haircut today and decided to get the undercut. I passed surprisingly well with the hairdresser as she thought I was a teenage boy.
anyway, how is it looking, guys?
