I haven't legally changed my name or sex so how should I present? I'm still pre-HRT but I definitely pass. What should I do? ???
Edit: I'm pretty sure that it would be a bad idea to present totally femme, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Seriously, nobody has ANY advice on this?
This is pretty important because I almost having trouble passing as a boy this point, mostly because of my hair and plucked eyebrows (and also because of my near-complete lack of male clothing).

I would present whichever way you are presenting yourself the majority of the time, day by day. You don't want a photo of yourself presented in a way that will only be for that one day [for the photo], then never again. Doing this may cause further issues down the road should your ID be needed for anything.

I agree, get your picture taken as a girl. It's only a matter of time until you get the information changed. And I have a feeling that you'll be full time sooner rather than later, so it would be beneficial to have your picture updated.

From my experience, when people check your license for like using a credit card, they usually look at your picture then at you, if you pass you should do female.

It wouldn't... But your license will stay with you the next 5 years.
