I kind of feel like I look more "male" in pictures now...

[Brynn]

It could just be wishful thinking. But let's see.

So yes. I know some of those pictures are fairly close together. And it just might be wishful thinking, as I said. But I feel like I do look a little more male now than I used to in pictures.

You look great!!!! Male f0 sure

[Lachlann]

I'm sorry dude, I don't really see a difference in how male you look between all those pictures.

[Wolf Man]

I think between your avatar picture and the last picture link you provided, there is a difference. I think you look that extra push more male in the flexing picture than you do in your avatar.

[owl]

wow i'm amazed, your so passable!

you look so male

[Silver]

I'm sorry dude, I don't really see a difference in how male you look between all those pictures.

Ditto. You always seem to be scowling though, why is that?

I've never yet managed to take a decent picture of me smiling.

Picture 2 is the best the rest are quite feminine :/

Sorry! don't hold on to my throat please

I don't think 'feminine' is the right word here.  In no way does he look, or seem to be trying to be feminine. 

I think you're rather passable, much more so than me!  But you do need to frown less!

[icontact]

I doubt you would pass where I live, and definitely not at all in a glbt crowd. But you are definitely on the line there, so keep your head up!

[spacial]

need some different glasses if you don't mind me saying.

But you do look entirely male. If I was shown one of those, I'd say, some young guy, wearing his mom's glasses.

[Janet_Girl]

Hello Handsome.  Or should I say Mr. Muscles. 

[Elijah3291]

I think the one with the snow is very passable

In the others, to me it doesnt look more male as time went by

[Mark]

all but the first look pretty much the same to me. BUT you do look pretty masc. in them  keep it up

Thanks, dude. I didn't even want to reply to that comment... because it's more than a little inappropriate to call any trans guy "feminine," imo. (And I'll try to work on the smiling. Just for you guys.)

It's cool. And trust me, I'm well aware of my far too feminine glasses. Let's just say I picked them out when I was still in denial. I should be getting some new one in another month or so, though. My eyesight's gotten worse, so I have a valid excuse to get the new ones.

I think someone's trying to make me blush.

And thanks to the input for everyone else, even if some of it conflicts. I figured I reached my maximum quota of quotes per post.

[Janet_Girl]

Did it work? 

[Brynn]

I'm pleading the fifth.

I don't think it's necessarily inappropriate, just a misuse of the word. A man can be feminine, but that doesn't mean he's female, you get what I'm saying? So, really, I don't think it should be inappropriate as not all transmen are masculine in behaviour or dress either.

Well, I consider it inappropriate. And honestly kind of hurtful when it's used towards me... Particularly when you can easily tell I am NOT a very feminine person.

You are posting pictures, and in essence (as well as in reality) asking a question in a quasi-public forum and people respond.  You might not like all the answers.  So it goes. That's the way public life is.  Every artist who had ever shown their work, or released their record, or had their writing printed and read, knows that not everyone is going to agree on it.  So it goes.

Reality takes a very thick skin, even in the best of conditions.
