pre hrt pics and questions

[spacial]

thank you so much everyone for all the kind words, when i look at these pictures i cant see my face as feminine. it could be because I'm used to my own face so its hard to adjust. or a number of other things i guess.

the main thing is i cant pinpoint my masculine features, and i know its early but i want a rough idea of a plan of everything i should save up for.

my guesses is the nose, and possibly the brow. i know i need to trim my eyebrows, im building up the courage to go get that done>.<

Which neatly brings up Susans' Lesson number Two. You are the worst judge.

Believe me, one of the more common problems people post in here is not being satisfied or confident with their own appearance.

One day at a time ... it's not a race to the finish

With each step I find myself gaining more confidence...you will get there .. trust your gut and go at your own pace

I agree with what Rob said and I was just about to write something similar. Small steps will add up to perfection

overall i dont know what to think, i feel like i just look like a drag queen and it bums me out, but i wanted to post them here to get some honest opinions and advice on what things stick out the most as male so i can consider my options with those first.

any feedback is appreciated^.^

Ekuryua,

You look *very* nervous    You will do fine, relax.  These things take time, and time is on your side.  Be yourself and don't give up, you will become a very beautiful woman.

being patient is hard its true. especially when i feel like every moment that passes is a lost chance at passing, but i think I'm doing really well with being patient, I also think taht as far as most people go im extremely lucky to have so much support from everyone who's close to me

This.  And...  OMG, girl, you are GORGEOUS!  Cute as a button.  (sigh)... I wish I was 35 years younger...  (but I'm not, and I'm enjoying my own journey well enough, thank you very much!).  Truly, for someone so new to this, you're doing great.

You look good. I'd go out with you on a date.

Just relax and be the confidant girl you are inside.

Hugs

yea I think after you get your eyebrows done you should pass really well, other then your eyebrows you look pretty feminine, and you dress well too, not too over the top or drag queenish about you

yeah the eyebrows are first on my list, i think ill get those done somewhere and try again and perhaps ill post the updates in this thread, ive always dressed pretty unisex, the ones where im wearing pants those are pants ive always worn and the shirt had just been tightened and re cut.

btw you get extra props for the watership down quote in your sig^.^

Pluck your eyebrows and grow your hair out.  The thing that prevents you from passing, to me, in those pics is that the wig is obviously a wig.  Other than that, you just about pass.

And you pass 100% in your avatar pic.  Probably because your eyebrows are out of view and the wig looks more like natural hair.

haha thanks, its my favorite quote in the world

My $0.02 is that you look fantastic! Seriously. I would not say 100% passable yet... although as stated by others thinning the eyebrows and growing out your natural hair will definitely get you most of the way there.

One thing that struck me immediately was how perfectly feminine your body structure is (hands/feet etc). I believe even you will be amazed at the changes you will go through on hormones!

On a side note, your sig Ekuryua wouldn't happen to be an anime reference to Seikai no Senki would it? If so, I think you'll find a lot of fellow anime lovers here at Susan's! 

Best of Luck (not that you need it!)

I think you'll have a lovely elfin face.... if you venture on with girlie HRT at some point?

Meanwhile.... if you're feeling brave get yer eyebrows professionally ala femme shaped..... will work wonders for you....

omg! the seikai series is my all time favorite anime and story in the world! I didnt think anyone would notice^.^

but yeah ive always had freakishly small feet and hands for a boy so that is a plus for me. my biggest concerns are my boy hair and my nose. and the voice. im having lots of trouble with that.

I was also always told by the girls in during high school that i had a girls butt haha.

but just to hear all these good comments on my first attempt is wonderful, im in the process of growing my hair out now but i think its gonna be awhile before its where i want it, and im hopefully gonna do the eyebrows tomorrow and take more pictures^.^

I forgot to mention it, but yeah, your hands and arms are awesome ! I envy them.

[Eve of chaos]

when i first posted this i was nervous and scared so i only chose the best pics. and ive gotten msotly positive compliments but i still cant see it, so i decided to post some of the less desirable pictures and see if anyone's opinion changes.

(I am very self concious and i think i look awful no matter how im presenting but please dont go easy on me)

Truly, the only thing I could think of is if you thinned the eyebrows a bit, that would be the only way you could be cuter.  Seriously, relax, girl... you're doing great!  Ah, youth... wasted on the young...

All I really see is the eyebrows.

Other than that, you look absolutely wonderful and have a really cute style. And you're really cute, too.

Hi,

You already look quite good, so you do not have to do much to look genuinely female.  The first thing that struck me, and it is merely a personal opinion, but your eyebrows are just a tad too thick (possibly just on the outside).  They look a bit more male than female.  I would work on the eyebrows a bit and a year or two on HRT and I cannot imagine anyone saying that you look like a guy anymore.  The clothing could be more inline with female attire, but it is the person that makes the gender, not the clothes, although sometimes clothing helps.

Sadly, a couple of people posted the same comment just as I typed mine.  It appeared as I was trying to post my comment, so now you have three people saying the same thing, although I still one.

My recommendation is to tweeze first and see which eyebrows you like and then go for electrolysis.  I had electrolysis on my eyebrows.

o.o  I see nothing wrong with your shoulders!  What about them bothers you?  They don't look bad at all.
