Can I please have some opinions on my body type and passing?

Not here for any emotional support or anything, TBH I would just like to know if anyone is in as bad of a situation as me? And how they delt with it?

I am a couple of months MTF HRT and my shoulder keep making me see things as impossible, I would just like to know because obviously I am not even trying to look feminine in pics, but imagine a female head on that body, now tell me please, what would you honestly think?

Maybe not just my shoulder width/frame itself but also the hip ratio, could you please tell me what you honestly see?

I rather accept it now, but I am curious as of is it as manly and masculine as I think it is?

Thanks

While your bone structure won't change, I don't see anything about your body that would make you not "passable". Believe it or not, cisgender women come in all shapes and sizes. I wear a size 13 in women's shoes, but I'm also 6' tall. My hands are bigger than I'd like as well, but they have become skinnier and my boyfriend tells me that they look proportionate to my body and that I'd look silly with smaller hands. Don't let your current body stand in the way, I've seen some extremely masculine people transition to be extremely feminine and 110% passable. Transitioning should be about you, just being you.  :)

Transition is not an overnight process; it takes years for HRT to feminize a masculinized body. Don't be discouraged though, because you will see progress overtime, and probably faster if you lose some weight.  Best wishes :)

Ok thanks, do you know if you have seen as wide of shoulders as mine are? I have no muscle there

If I was drawing you I'd make your shoulders wider to correct the proportions lol

I'm FtM and I'm p. sure I've got broader shoulders proportionally.

Welcome to Susan's Place. You have a naturally feminine body and you errr seem to be responding well to hormones. It can take several years to see most of the development hormones will provide so be patient. I think you will be happy with the results.

Transition will take time.

I lost a lot of muscle in my shoulders. My sleeves are 3 inches longer than 2 years ago. That had to come from my shoulders.

Hello, sorry but I am unable to reply any other way. I received an email saying I posted porn or something. Just went through pics again and not entirely sure which photo was report as nude or porn.

Thanks

Your hips are wider than your chest girth, which is a huge plus for you.  I can't see your face, but with the right clothes I suspect your body will pass nicely.

From the looks of the pictures, your shoulders look fine to me. I think we all lol at ourselves with thinking we have broad shoulders which in all reality they are only proportionate to the frame we have. Just leave this in mind, we perceive ourselves in the worst way, and others are there as an outside eye to help us know that we are us. You are you, I am I, etc...
All in all, its not necessarily the shoulders so much that we should mind so much as the triceps/biceps area of the arm, if the muscles there, which actually determines which types of clothing can be used to cover that up, if the arms are essentially too big for a girls standpoint, then the clothing types which can be used to cover will be addressed. As well as a workout regime in which include exercises that would pertain to lean muscle sculpting rather than to strength train in a workout, which usually includes more cardio, full body workouts, and when weight lifting using lower weights and higher repetitions, including you will want to get a good stretch before, during and after the workout. The during section is essentially between sets of the exercise you are doing, which would loosen up the muscles as you are working out and so it will lessen the chance that the muscles will tighten up, and shape as a blocky body builder muscles will do so.

I would honestly say pear shaped (which is one of the desired feminine looks). Part 2 of your question; you'll look great.

I don't see the overly broad shoulders. That looks more like muscular shoulders/neck, and that will go away once you take hormones...

My shoulders are broader than yours, I'll bet. You also have some bulk in the rear. I have teeny bopper hips (no butt). If you want to, you'll be fine. It's all a matter of confidence and work. Yes, you have to work at being pretty.

Heck, yes, you'll have no trouble passing!  Lose a few pounds and give the hormones time to do their thing, and you'll look great.
