You look really young, but you look like a young guy and not a young girl.

[owl]

Thats nice to hear I look young though. Its not the first time i've heard that, thanks

You definitely look like a guy. But I'd probably put your appearance age at around... 14. So, if you're 17, that's not TOO far off. Lucky.

[owl]

oh man
D:

I hope testosterone will change this

[VampyreAri]

T would probably really do good for you, especially cause you're starting from pretty boyish anyway. And pre-T, those who can pass almost always look younger than their age. It's just kinda how it works, so don't worry about it too much. 

[owl]

I'm thinking about going around and doing a survey, asking people if they think i'm a boy or girl

[VampyreAri]

Well something like that would probably be skewed if you asked people in-person. Because chances are your voice would still give you away and people would respond girl just because of that.

[owl]

true, do you know if someone that is a paranoid schizophrentic would be allowed to take T?

BTW here is another picture of me

I'd say you do, but a great deal about passing is about how you present yourself in the physical world, not just photos from specific angles.

It's not just a picture deal, it's a total package, there are lots of things that serve as 'clues' in our determination, its not just a facial look, or clothes.

I agree with this, and also, just the fact that you're asking, would probably make people think twice and go "Oh, I thought that was a boy, but since he's asking... maybe he's a girl after all?" Just sayin'...

I could tell more by how you pour and drink a beer (or anything really) than by a picture.  And I could tell it across a dark bar.

Like a young boy.

it probably depends on how in touch with reality the person was and if the gender issues are stemmed from something other than "GID"
