Face, passability as a female

[Rachel_Christina]

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! 

Thanks Leila, yeah I do like my height. I just have to stay on top of my weight, which I do. To keep it looking femme, I fear weight gain quiet alot, and in saying that if I go for a run

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.

Well, I can relate to that. My first birthday party was at work as an adult. I remember when I was about 10 and a neighbor kid had an open/outside birthday party and I really didn't understand what that was all about. I never had a birthday party as a child. And yes, things like that linger and affect us as adults.

Is that not the sadest situation to be in?

I know for a fact I would never do that to my kids no way.
I never had a birthday party either. It used to be so hard to even understand what it was lol.

Hey all.
Hope everyone is doing well. ... How passable is it, my profile bothers me most.  ... What do ya'll think?

This thread bubbled to the top because of new posts so I'm late but saw the pics... have to agree with others... very passable.

You mention your forehead protruding... I sort of see what you mean but for whatever reason it appears feminine to me. It doesn't have a guy bossing effect... not sure why... I'm guessing it's because you don't have a little brow bump around your eyes...  it's smooth there... the front shot reveals an ever so slight orbital (your right eye below/near your right temple) but given there's no apparent bossing I missed that until just looking again with a zoomed photo. I mean it seems slight. If you've had no forehead facial boney work done, you have an amazing starting point.

Hi Rachel,

I'm new to all of this, but I thought I would mention that I think you look like a stunning woman. You remind me of Jennifer Connelly in A Beautiful Mind.

[Rachel_Christina]

Thank you Ashley And Danielle.
I really don't know what I will eventually do with my head, when I'm feeling good I really don't worry about it.
It's just those off days I will pull myself apart.
And yeah Jennifer Connelly, I hear that quiet often,l lol, I can't really see it though

Are kidding me!?? You're seriously questioning your passability as a female? I would kill people for your face. It must be nice. What the F$%&?! Why is everyone more beautiful than me?!

Me too sister. It's a challenge as an adult to look back and see the neglect and process it ... understand it's not your fault. I get where you are coming from.

You look lovely, and you're on the right path. Best wishes.

Everyone is different girl.

And you might think that, but we are all thinking the same :')
We never see ourselves as good enough.

Nobody is a harsher critic of ourselves than ourselves. I've thought I looked hideous for most of my life (which is also one of my bad excuses for putting off transitioning for so many years), but deep down I know that's not true. I'll never be a fashion model (not that I wanted to be), and that's fine. Media & society in general presents us a false ideal of beauty that all women are supposed to aspire to, but can never achieve. Be happy & confident, and that will shine through. Yes I know - easier said than done (I'm still working on it!), but it's something you can build over time.

Also, a little makeup can make a huge difference.

Hey Rachel

Save your worries for stuff in life that actually needs to be worried about sister!!! You are gorgeous!!!! 😀

A 😀❤️🌻

As I said, I agree with everyone here. You are beautiful and I would kill for your looks. You got nothing to be self consious about. Eyes, cheeks, hair are all super feminine!! the lips, flawless and that nose you got there looks nice and cute so cute I would nibble on it!!!...I want to bite *chomp chomp*

Much love sis <3

You don't need anything to pass you already feminine enough
Anything you may do is optional and not necessarily to make you pass

[Rachel_Christina]

Thanks Girls.
I'm in such to minds about it all.
I wish I could see myself after these opps first. And see have I scaring or sensation problems.
I am close to happy with my face, maybe it is just a case of building confidence and pride in one's self.
I have felt worthless most of my life. And now I'm finally me I'm try pull away the horibble negative images I have of myself

I think most of us have self-esteem problems. But know that you are beautiful. If you had higher self-esteem, you wouldn't care if you weren't. Find a good book on self-esteem.
