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

[Kanzaki]

Go for something classical. You can go for longer hair at the top and shorter at the sides. Than you can try to put the hair at the top more to the side. If you gets problems with the hairline, you can shape it with shaving. You can try to get a more straight square hairline. You would still look young, but you might appear a few years older. Pixie haircuts, round Justin Bieber haircuts and spikey haircuts aren't recommended. Pixie and spikey hair cuts are in fashion for butch women. Justin Bieber's 2009 haircut screams "Young boy", not "mature man". My best advice are being patient. It takes time before testosterone works. About 1 to 3 years, you would probably look more like a grown man - it would mature your appearance. But at least you do pass, you just pass younger than your real age. When you get old, it might be a advantage. Just look at the celebrities, everybody wants to look young. I've heard about celebs who doesn't want to age.

Thanks for the ideas. Didn't think of shaving the hairline, that could work. I had a look at hairline comparisons (male VS female) and it doesn't really look like I have a female hairline in the first place (which is pretty surprising) so that's good. Honestly I don't think I'll look like a grown man for a very long time but that's alright with me for now, as long as I don't look 12. I'm pretty young anyways so it'd be a bit strange if I looked like a grown man already since most of my friends who are around 18-20 don't. Yeah, I'm glad I pass most of the time. Just the other day some random guy called me lady though which hasn't happened in months so I'm paranoid about not passing again. Yeah, it's definitely an advantage to look younger. I have my mother's genes though, she doesn't look like she's aged much at all for years so hopefully I'll take after her in that aspect.

This is my first time posting on this thread, so I hope I did the links right...and sorry that I can't take a decent picture to save my life.

I'm pre-everything, and still in the closet, so I'm a long way off from going full-time or anything like that. I'm just wondering where I'm starting from and if it would be possible to try passing when I'm out by myself sometime.

Since I didn't take any full-body pictures, I should probably mention that I'm 5'11" and 3/4 (basically 6 foot), which helps me get "mistaken" for a guy pretty often lol. I'm sixteen, but I probably don't look a day over 12 with the baby face thing I've got going on, but oh well.

I'm fully aware that I don't pass that well, so don't be afraid to be honest. I promise you won't hurt my feelings  . I'm looking for honest criticism here. So if you saw me on the street, what would you think? Thanks in advance!

Passing is far more than a pretty face but my honest opinion is if you get on the blocker soon, you should have little difficulty passing. Your face is currently between androgynous and feminine with the additional bonus that long hair should look good on you.

You look like a 16 year old boy to me... at least in most of the pictures. You have the expression and body language down and your looks are androgynous to masculine.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to go on blockers since I'm not in a position to come out, but I think I'm nearing the end of puberty anyways. Luckily, most of the women in my family are lacking in the chest department. The only thing I'm worried about is the hips, but with some exercise and a little vitamin T, those should slim down.

Thanks. I guess being exhausted from starting school helps with that "dead inside" look haha

You pass as 14 or 15 years old guy for me.

[Sebby Michelango]

I know I pass for many peoples in real life. But what is your thoughts, guys? The pictures are about one or two years old, but I hasn't changed so much since then. The picture where I have shortest hair are the oldest one and since I didn't like that haircut, I wouldn't go for it anymore. The first picture to the left is the most accurate picture of how I looks like today.

I also have some questions.
1. Can I pass with long hair or is short hair best for passing?
2. Do I pass or not?
3. Which age do I pass as?

I think you look best in the pic on the left; longer hair definitely suits you. You look sort of inbetween but look more male than female. You look around 16 to me.

I'm 18, btw ~

You look like any other cute guy; although you look younger than your age but so does every trans guy on this forum

You pass as teenage boy to me... definitely younger than your real age, but still passing relatively well

[Cassuk]

Ya you def. look around 10-14, but i am also bad at guessing ages lol you look like a cute teenage boy.

[Zeno]

I'm 15, 16 in a month. 4'11 but whatever xD

[WolfNightV4X1]

Dude, you pass and you look your age. 15-16 is best time to pass anyways since not all guys hit puberty quickly (as is your case) Hell, when I was in ninth grade there was this kid that didnt look like a highschooler until 11th grade, lol.

Chances are the voice might not make you pass but if you practiced it somewhat you'll pass as youre age. Youre lucky.

Hopefully you get on T when its legal so you can smoothly transition

[Platzhalter]

I'm 15, 16 in a month. 4'11 but whatever xD

Wow... you just look like any other teenage boy to me, so definitely passing

[Sebby Michelango]

You pass as 14 for me.

I apologize in advance if I format this post incorrectly in any way, as this is my first post on this site..
Here goes nothing..
(I also apologize for these photos being so up close and personal, all of my photos are selfies that don't really expose below my collar bones..  )






I feel often that people don't know where to place me when they see me. The ma'aming has lessened, but it hasn't been replaced.. I feel people go out of their way to avoid using gender pronouns around me at all. I just.. exist.


I've been strongly debating getting my hair cut at a barber for the sake of passing, but I also want long, glorious hair to couple with my facial hair once it starts growing in thicker (I know it's not visible in the photos, as it's just now started to grow in to the extent that it's sort of visible to people that aren't nearly snoot-to-snoot with me). I'm up for suggestions either way!
I am also 19 years old and have been on testosterone since March 9th, 2016, for anyone curious.

Nathanos,

Welcome to the site.

Congratulations on starting HRT. Your first two photos seem a little more feminine than the last one. I think your idea of a shorter haircut will help. You might keep it short till your facial hair comes in a little stronger.
