Curious if I pass? I am not real sure.

Do I pass? ... I really can't tell. Thanks! 

When I go out no one seems to stare at me and my friends tell me I pass but for some reason I don't see it? I have only been on hormones about 6 months and I have lost about 25lbs recently and I am in the process of losing about 60 more so I know that will help. ... I do have wide hips that are hard to notice in these photos.

Imo you pass.

Showing some cleavage and not too dark sweater colours help imo.
Brighter colours tend to show surface, and people usually connect the sight of boobies with femininity.

Thank you!!! ... This is the first time I have ever post myself on here so it's nice to get constructive remarks and to know that I pass. Thank you for the suggestion on the cleavage and brighter colors! ... The only reason I have darker cardigans for now is I still have muscular shoulders and arms so I believe the dark cardigans should help disguise that? ... I may be wrong? ... Still kicking myself for years of hitting the weights hard.

Yes. You seem to pass.
But other things such as facial expression and body gesture do matter in passing.
Avoiding closing your lips firmly will help pass better.

You could have a look at the mirror, and see what looks better.
Style may also play a role. A bit a wider style may conceal muscles underneath.

And muscles are supposed to shrink with hrt over time.

You might simply try to feel feminine ... it shows outwrds, in gait and mannerism.
Don't overdo it, just be yourself.

Thanks for the tips! I am somewhat aware about the muscle shrinking over time, it's just not happening fast enough!

Awwww, thank you!

I think you do pass quite nicely.  Congrats on the weight loss. It's tough!
