Not used to seeing my face in a male context yet

[Autumn]

So, lipstick is a girl's friend it seems. Totally changes the face.

...Enough to have a married man twice and half again my age offering me anything I wanted and hitting on me quite plainly yesterday.

I was hoping that since I was very plain-looking, I might have an easier time "passing."

I was exceptionally "plain" myself (to put it kindly ).

I think it does make it easier in that we generally slip into "uncanny valley" a bit faster (or may already be there pre-T). I think being "plain" generally denotes a lack of feminine facial features and less dramatic natural colouring (sidenote : that's probably why pre-T FTM photos always look better in greyscale).

So, lipstick is a girl's friend it seems. Totally changes the face.

In a really strange way that sort of explains why I always thought I looked like Florian Schneider on the cover of Kraftwerk's "The Man Machine" on the few attempts I made at wearing lipstick

(It didn't matter the colour, either.  They ALL looked bad!)

God! I love my new face!

haha. 

I had a pretty good face for male in the first place, but now its much better.
I guess I never attempted pretty.
I never put on make up, or did up my hair.
I don't actually really know what me as a "girl" much would have looked like.  It just bothered me it didn't look distinctly masculine.  Now it does, and I love it.  Can't wait til my blonde facial hair turns real.

I thew out my old face, spit on it, stomped on it, and never want it back, cause it's far too female without facial hair, in my opinion. Even after transitioning I still got read as a...androgynous person until I started getting facial hair again. All my pictures on myspace of me while I wasn't transitioning, I put those glasses with the nose and eyebrows on my face in the picture...I hate my old face that much. Love my new face. Took nothing to get used to it.

I was one of those (so I'm told, I don't agree)...hot...I can't even say the word. Other gender that I'm not. When I was appearing androgynous...I didn't get hit on too much, not as much as I had been, until recently when my sideburns and muscle gain make me look definitely masculine. Now I have girls wanting me left and right again. It's annoying in a way..I'm not a super hot guy...but hot enough.
