Am I a good candidate, do you reckon?

[Ellie]

I've been sitting on the fence between coming out and not for so about a year now. The main reason is that I don't want to lose all the things I've worked for at college and stuff. But I know if I don't do something I'll go mad; I feel the need to transition the more I try and bury it. What a predicament! >_<

I was looking to maybe get you guys' opinion on whether I'm a good candidate for HRT. My nose annoys me, as does my adam's apple, but I'm still relatively young, so I reckon it could all balance out. Oh, and I'm MtF if you hadn't guessed. 

Anyway, pics.

this is exactly how i feel... but i am starting it anyway, i might not be
choosing the best time (or not, well thats at least what they're telling me)
but i don't think transition, once you have cleared with yourself that it is
the right for you, can or should be postponed. It is treatment for my
condition (not mental condition though) and i don't see any reason for
postoning my treatment... now i am finally old enough to make my own
decsions, if my family was supportive i would have started sooner, but
they weren't and i can't change that...
anyway, i konw you are certanly worried about passing but, look you
havent started anything physical yet so practicly there is no clue about
how will it all work out...
to me your face doesn't look very masculine, but it will certanly change
(some more some less) over time, even if you're not satisfied, a minor
cosmetic procedure on face can make big difference ...
don't worry in advance (like i did  )

Basically you're asking "Could I be pretty?". One transitions because one has to; this is regardless of starting looks.

Yes, definitely, you won't have any problems passing or looking very nice face-wise if you take HRT.

Smiling helps by the way

[Ellie]

Heh, I think I was just feeling a little frustrated and was trying to fish for compliments at the time.

And yeah, smiling probably would help.

Hey, just thought I'd give this a go as well. See what kind of responses I get.

No, I'm not needy for criticism, not at all.

This was accidentally taken with that wonky color scheme, this picture made me realize that I should jog more often, and get my weight back down to 150, because being 190 makes my face look too fat.

The multiple shirts kind of make it hard to tell, but the main issue I have is with my shoulders. I have no idea if that's a reversible problem, or what. Here's hoping, eh?

Too bad neither of those pictures got my whole figure. I blame my photographer.
