I can only hope to be as beautiful as you one day. You're gorgeous.

Your nose is suitably feminine, don't worry. If anything it helps tie together your other strong features and makes them less noticeable independently.

I like your nose, no need for any change on it.  Facial hair is the killer.  I hate hate hate it, and resigning myself to electrolysis;(
you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

Rachel, your face is fine and lovely.  As others have mentioned a little trim to eyebrows and getting the facial hair removed are the best bets.  Anything more would be excessive risk for very small reward.

I think you look great and easily pass as a woman. I think we, me any ways, as MTF transgender see 'man' showing in our selfies, because we know there's a 'man' under there. A friend yesterday shared a photo on Facebook of girlfriends, birth girls that is, out having lunch together. I've started really observing how women look. I swear, I saw 'man' in each of their faces. If you'd told me they were transgender, I'd have said "you need some work, honey!" ;) I thought, wow, I've seen a lot of transgender MTF that look more feminine than those gals. Start watching and you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!
Finding 'self' is the first step toward becoming 'self'. Every step is part of a journey. May your journey lead to happiness. Peace!

If anybody ever says anything about a 5o'clock shadow just whisper 'don't ever shave your peach fuzz' My SIL has a thicker beard than mine ever has been! Sometimes she doesn't shave it ether. And we went shopping that way today! Sometimes we worry too much!
I finally get to be me, and I don't want today to be my last! That's a very nice feeling.  ;D ;D ;D

I actually hasn't noticed the shadow at first, it looked kind of girly :)

Alright after all the week of waiting, this was the result after the facial hair came out.
From far away almost unnoticeable,



And from close it is still noticeable :/



Actually this looks more like aggravated skin, it's like a darker colour than the rest of my skin and it doesn't look grey. I know there will be more hair, but right now it looka like bad skin :S

Atleast I felt better with the hair off anyway, and felt good enough to play with makeup.
Ah I'm saying that there is no Foundation or any attempt to cover anything on my face

It's a process to get rid of the hair.  You look great Rachel and it's definitely far less noticeable.

My happy news is that I can afford to start doing electrolysis next month!  Unfortunately I am blonde and laser did nothing (at least I tried).

Now that the upper lip hair came out you got rid of the one big tell you had.  I don't see you having any issues so long as you get voice and mannerisms down.

Knocking back the brow bossing a tad wouldn't hurt, but I do see cis women with similar brow lines now and again.  I think your nose looks good.  It's different but not in a manly way at all.  Of course your hair is the stuff of envy, and I think your jawline balances your forehead nicely.  Once you get to the point where you can trim the hedges on your eyebrows you'll be all set.

Haha Colleen, hedges they are, they are the one thing that has followed me all the way through transition. Nothing I can do about them till I'm out.
Another three months and it's the end of the line for them.

Amber it's good news on the electro, I will soon go down that line Myself.

Yes, you are very feminine, very female. If you have the money, send in photos for an evaluation where they can FFS your photos. I have a suspicion that after they do, you would be very hot. Not that you aren't good-looking now, you are! So, anything they do would be very minimal. But, sometimes, that's the difference between hot and very hot.  ;)

Rachel girl you know we are always our own worse critics. You pass and pass and pass again!
You have no real manly type features.

Manly features are often things like significant brow bossing, heavy temporal ridges, low eyebrows because of the brow bossing, wide jawbone, widened or flat appearing chin, longer distance in the upper lip to nose.

On the other hand, you have easily female brow bossing with now lowering of the eyebrows, from the angle shots you don't even have a ridge above your outer eye sockets. You have a non acute angled jaw and a still narrow chin. Your upper lip does not look as though it has lengthened, usually a function of male nose length growth. Side note: testosterone makes the nose grow longer, the septum pushes the lip down. Looks like if you just relax your jaw and let your lips open that the upper lip will show a good part of your upper teeth. A very feminine trait. Looks like you have and upward canthus angle on your eyes. Part of the larger male brow ridge will push the outer eye canthus lower. Women often have the outer canthus remain higher than the inner canthus of the eye lids. Depends on on racial backgrounds some though. I think your forehead / hairline start looks great, especially since you've had such great luck filling in those recessed peaks on both side. SO JEALOUS!  ;)

I'm with the other girls here, how can you ever even pass for a guy? Especially if you let your hair down.

I wish I had been able to start young enough to get ahead of years of T damage. Good for you!

Thanks Josie, you seem to have a lot of knowledge of the human face and the mechanics of it. I really haven't a clue.
But still worry about it from time to time.
When I look in the mirror most time I feel good about what I see, the phone can often warp the image I think and make me feel bad about myself, I think it's just a fault of tiny lenses.
And yes the hairline filling in is insane, I lucked out on that one. Ther is more blonde hairs infront too. I must update my hair thread actually about that.
And don't worry about when you started hormones. I think at 26 I was abit late too, just was lucky my body stayed fine a rather small, except for my height lol 5'11"
But I like being tall, so it's all god :3

Lol, chalk it up to too much time internet surfing.
I'm also 5-11. Wish I was still skinny like you though.  :)

Someone needs to tell me why there are so many beautiful women on this site that are not confident about how they look.  Rachel Christina, you are lovely.

Most beautiful women think they're ugly or just plain at best.

I can have them all if I only keep dreaming.  ;D

Rachel, you look absolutely incredible. 5'11" is an awesome height, it's exactly what I'd choose (several women I know have that height, and several celebrities too if you google). I'm 6'2" and mentioned my self-consciousness about it to a few women friends today; they told me to quit complaining as they'd kill to be tall. I guess we need more tall girls around to put the men in their place!  ;D

Lol, I dunno why some of us feel like this. I am in a better place now so I'm feeling much better about how I look.
I grew up in a family where my dad would never tell us anything nice, no "I love you", no "happy birthday" all that crap. I think that ->-bleeped-<- does things to people, of course mom could say nothing to him either.
