So i guess i should have not been shocked when passing as male became hard after FFS and My BA? For some reason i thought it would have taken alot longer. was it this way for anyone else? i mean for work and school it was just like POW!! instant female. haha :D

You're right - you wouldn't pass as male unless you tried too.

I look forward to the same... not being able to pass as male would be a dream.

I was always small and feminine so I had and easier time passing than others. Once I had my beard removed, my BA and HRT softened my skin I could now longer pass as a male. I actually had to present as a male one day and the person I met told me there was no way I was a male. Beard removal in my opinion was the most important factor in my case. Facial hair is a dead giveaway.

Voice works as well.
I don't have money for expensive surgeries, but once I sorted my voice out and had the facial hair gone, I began passing.

yup it is the point. i just thoght it would take more time. im liking it though.
I'm so happy for you, Tristan. :)
I can't wait to have my own FFS but from another perspective it is sad that social integration and acceptance depend so much on physical appearance. I have a sister, she is so beautiful, works as a hostess and model and every time we go out at the mall all men smile at her...but not at me although I pass quite well.
We can't change this but only try to adapt as best as we can.

Sad thing to say it myself, but... BA is the easiest way to avoid people looking at your face (and probably even more useful than FFS).
It's a men's thing. As they told me prior to my first job interview... "If the interviewer is a woman, try to look on the eyes and not the cleavage!"

Quote from: Apples on August 17, 2012, 06:54:20 AMI don't know. I had FFS 8 years ago and BA this summer. Having FFS was as if flicking a switch from OFF to ON. I instantly started passing consistently even without makeup and hair in a pony tail. Later that year I hired a new girl at my workplace and my other co-workers were "nice" enough to wait 3 months before they outed me to her. She couldn't believe I wasn't born female. I don't think a BA would have had the same effect.

In the sense that men can't look at any other place, xD.
Only one possible solution:

Every time time I see your avatar I don't know if I want to have those on my chest, or just reconsider transitioning and go back to full hetero mode... I'm a pervert, I'm a pervert, I'm a pervert...
