Not passing and still happy?

[Bari Jo]

Thanks Alyssa, I'm sure this will be an ongoing concern of mine.  I do appreciate the perspective that you are happy and still get misgendered sometimes.  As a guy I was always more of a fancy lad.  The ladies stayed away thinking I was gay, maybe that will help in this?  time will tell.

You shouldn't worry about passability at just 2 months on hrt. Hrt takes a long time to change your features. What you look like now is not what you will look like 1 or 2 years from now. I think the face ap thing you used softens the features,  which is the same thing estrogen does. You won't look exactly like your avatar but I would think you will look similar. And that avatar picture is beautiful.

Just try to chill and let the hrt work it's magic. You said you have a goatee??    well get some clippers and a razor and get rid of that awful thing!  Silly girl!

Sage advice, and I will follow these instructions as soon as I can.  This month is my sister's wedding, and I didn't want any changes, mine or any aspect of the wedding to cause upset or worry.  Now, just after, that's free game!  Ive been keeping it at the lowest setting my clippers will allow.  It makes a good standby for the electroligist:)
