The Official 'Do I pass?' topic (Ver 5.0 - in 3-D)

[WolfNightV4X1]

I feel yout pain :/ honestly as much as I wear certain clothes or snip my hair Im not quite near yet to being a male and am frequently misgendered, and I simply have to brush it off for simplicities sake and just not care. I have some priorities and needs to accompany before I can dream to further get hormones and such, but I would really want to.

My friends readily view me as male though as well as myself so I get by well

The Peter Pan topic was a page or so ago but reminded me of a story my mom recounts now and again. When I was a toddler I was dropped off at daycare. The ladies working there spent the whole time trying to get my name...but I insisted it was Peter Pan. Haha. I was/am a dork.

On another note...how am I fairing?

WanderingFace you have a handsome face

[Kanzaki]

i think asians are more prone to being androgynous? ive been told i'm quite androgynous and that i'm a pretty girl and a handsome man at the same time

This is definitely true. While it's not true for all asians, it is for a much larger amount than, for example, white people. I'm only half asian yet I can easily pass for both male and female, and just like you said, I'm good looking either way (according to other people, anyways). If you look up a Japanese term called "visual kei," you'll see a lot of androgynous looking people in flashy outfits, with a lot of really cute girls mixed in. Until you find out that they're actually all men, and you've been fooled because they're all androgynous looking asians. That being said, (in my opinion,) asians don't necessarily look very androgynous at first glance, but when you put a wig on them and give them some clothes of the opposite sex, you suddenly do notice.

Thanks, Menoimagination. I've gotten that I have a friendly/warm look, but this is the first time I've been called hansom. Made my day and I appreciate the compliment.

You remind me of Tom Felton and I am unsure why but I looked at your face and thought "he looks a bit like Draco Malfoy.

You look like a very handsome man; I wish I looked like you. If you look like this pre T; you're going to be a real lady killer after T

[haeden]

Yeah bro you don't have anything to worry about. T will definitely just bring you over the top. You are already killing it though

Jossef - You're looking very masculine. I see only a man in those pictures. Hang in there, brother!

[Dalex]

Still waiting on T. Sometimes I think I'll shave my little goatee and just let people think I'm a girl so as to avoid any confusion when they hear me speak, but gosh dang it, I love it too much.

I want to see how well you think I pass.

I'm pre T and some girls today in the women's walmart bathroom did a double take at me and walked away quickly. I assumed I looked like a butch woman.

Some gay cis men on a dating site just told me I looked more masculine than them.

Don't worry- I'm not scowling at you, this is my neutral expression. I prefer not to smile.

I think you pass, but I'd maybe shorten your hair a little bit more and stop any eyebrow maintenance you're doing.

I'm not doing any eyebrow maintenance. That's my natural eyebrows. I just got my hair cut, but it's not exactly the way I want it. When I get a chance I will get it shorter.

[WorkingOnThomas]

Just a question on the eyebrow thing - I was told that if you used to pluck (and I did - not you know, strenuously, but a little cleaning up around the edges) then your eyebrows never really grow back. Is that true?

I don't think that's true, but I'm by no means an expert in hair removal (learning more due to electrolysis for surgery though!). I was never really into plucking my eyebrows or doing really anything with them. I might've plucked a few here or there to clean up around the edges as you say, and they've all come back.

Plucking doesn't destroy the regenerative ability of the hair follicle in the way that laser or heat related hair removal would, so while growth may take longer, it should still be occurring.
