Title: The "Could I Pass One Day" Thread - Part 2
Post by: Jamie D on September 27, 2012, 02:21:49 AM
The original "Could I Pass One Day" and the "Do I Pass?" topics have been locked, because they got too big.

For many Male-to-Female transsexuals, "passing" is an important aspect of their transition.  For those who are just beginning their own journey, this topic offers an opportunity to receive input and guidance on subjects such as facial feminization surgery (FFS), makeup, grooming, electrolysis/laser hair removal, etc.

We also have boards dealing with these issues separately.  For those who post pictures here, be prepared to receive constructive criticism.

It will be to your benefit to post views that include face on, profile, and three-quarter.

Enjoy!

Edit:  If you do not want your image quoted, please state that in your posts.  If you delete your image at the source, please delete your link in the topic.  Thanks.

Rule #18 of the Terms of Service has been interpreted to preclude asking others not to quote your pictures - sorry, my fault.

I think she was being sarcastic, suggesting that you already pass so well as a woman that you Must be asking if you could ever pass as a boy.

I think you look great and will have no problems passing at all!

You don't pass yet, and by looking at your face I'm assuming you aren't on HRT, however your face is just perfect for it. You shouldn't have any troubles. My only advice at this point is to make your expressions look more feminine.

Nice pic! I think you look pretty androgynous, I bet with a bit of makeup you could pass with your face easily.

I hate my nose. How badly does it need work lol.

Isabelle, I finally sorta see in the side view what you're worried about structure-wise.  It's pretty minor though.

Post by: Rowan Rue on October 02, 2012, 12:38:08 PM
Isabelle, you look great. Period.
Your nose is soooo no an issue, I've seen so many cis women with way more masculine noses than you have.
You really don't need to worry girl  :D
That said, I know we all have days where we just can't see anything but the boy who used to be there so I totally sympathise with feeling down but trust me, NO ONE else sees that but you.

*hugs*

Isabelle, I wonder what percentage of ciswomen hate their noses?

Fortunately, it is one of the easiest things to fix.
Title: Re: The "Could I Pass One Day" Thread - Part 2
Post by: Isabelle on October 02, 2012, 07:26:45 PM
I agree, lots of people dislike their noses. My concern is, does my face make me clockable?

Post by: Jamie D on October 02, 2012, 08:06:39 PM
Not to me.  I was only addressing your comment, "I hate my nose. How badly does it need work lol."

I have told friends this, and when you think about it, it probably plays a role in our self-perception.  You knew the old you for X number of years.  You are intimately familiar with the old you, every nook, cranny, and microflaw.

You are always going to see elements of the old you in the new you.  Someone, like me, who did not know the old you, will just see you.  I would not "clock" you.  But you will clock yourself.

I don't think it does at all. Also, I think it is those adorable features such as your nose that make a person unique and beautiful... had I seen you out in public I would have assumed you were cis.

Teela, I think the biggest single thing that would help you would be a haircut that covers your temples.  The shape of your hairline is quite masculine (I have the same problem)  but your hair is long enough to easily cover it with a different style.
Something like this
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmyemohairstyles.com%2Fimages%2Femo%2520girl%2520highlights.jpg&hash=1c460d45d2b1d7cd3b3b585502cbd7acc42947c5)

or this

Basically, Bangs are your friend!

]I love that first style. might have to try it when the sides of my hair get alil longer. but yeah I hate my hairline, I got 3 cowlicks and they make styling my hair a nightmare.  :-\

Yeah, having to be able to present both ways makes it super hard!  I'm lucky in that, for the most part, It really doesn't matter how I look.
You have a similar face shape to the girl in the first pic so that style should really suit you  :D

I tend to gravitate toward that clothing clitche that goes with that hair style also, so I think it would fall together nicely. thanks for showing it to me, I saved it to show to my hair stylist a few months from now.

Post by: pretty on October 03, 2012, 06:39:12 PM
@alice

Yes you do look more passable, I think the eye makeup could be better though. A smoky eye is a sexy look but idk if the dark tones help you when they blend with your brows to make them look lower. Maybe it is superstitious but I like light, warm tones when it comes to eye shadow because being trans you have to worry about some little things that wouldn't really hurt a cis girl.

I don't know if I could pass someday.... If I already pass, or what the case may be. (avatar is about my best of my newer pics) Just know regardless it's not going to deter me from going full time next month; likely on my 33rd birthday. You girls are all looking great by the way :) oh and I absolutely love that first haircut Twyla; thanks forr sharing those ideas, know they weren't meant for me, but that truly is a rocking haircut that girl has.

Post by: Jenna_Nicole105 on October 07, 2012, 10:53:49 AM
In terms of looking like my avatar.... Yes and no. I mean it's me, but that was prior to going out with friends on a Friday night and the makeup was a friend's handy work. I'm nowhere near that good with it (one of the things I plan on working on over this next month)

Here's a couple pics without the keen makeup job... Including the obligatory "mirror shot" ha.

The second one the lighting isn't the best, but it's right after I recently dyed my hair red.

I just turned 32, and have been on hrt for 18 months. this is my face, no make up except eye liner. Do I need FFS? Sorry I know I just posted recently but, my voice got me clocked the other night (trying to yell over a punk band in a bar :(  ) My confidence is a little shaken.. do you think it was just my voice or am I visibly trans?

I'd say you look more like a woman than most women... So it may have to do with voice issues...

I don't think you need FFS. You are probably tired of hearing it but I would grow out the hairstyle. I'm not trying to nag ya because I think you shouldn't have it how you want it but.. I do think if you have any passing issues that would be the first cause.

.... my voice got me clocked the other night (trying to yell over a punk band in a bar....
Sorry to hear you got clocked  :(  but trust me, it was 100% a voice issue, and having listened to your voice in the voice thread, only because you were yelling over the music.
Your face is beautiful sweetie!  No Joke, I always enjoy seeing pictures of you because I think we have similar bone structure so you make me very hopeful for what hormones will do for me  :D

that does make me wonder though, how many of us practice our voice "under duress" so to speak.  I think I'll go practice yelling a la femme now!

My voice sounds 100% cis because I started off by the hard part: Yelling. Key words: Loud and crisp. Now I can yell at someone from afar or yell while arguing and still sound female. Most trans women I've seen try to soften their voices and speak very low to compensate or just raise the pitch without proper placement but it's such a bad habit! Once you can yell, Once you can sing, speaking is nothing.

Just hold different vowels/phonemes at regular speech volume then increase volume exponentially without raising pitch.

decrescendo/crescendo glissandos on your full tessitura( total range of voice even male) and hold the last note.

Stuff like that.

I can usually maintain a decent volume, but not for very long. I'm hoping its just something that comes with practice, I haven't been training my voice for all that long. Thanks for the tips Seyranna :)

See now that is wonderfull advice. Ive been doing that bad habit and getting nowhere. but most instructional videos and such dont recommend volume and I dont see how they ever got to where they were. a different path for each person i suppose. lol

as for my pic, I know its not the best but ive never been good with pictures. ive gone out a few times and though i know people stared, i dont know if its because they can tell or if its just that im so tall. (6,2) im pretty good with makeup and though i need to do my eyebrows they dont look to bad. the hardest part is shoes. im a 13W in mens, I cant even find a size in womens, at least not in the stores, and i dont want to order online until I find out my size so that i dont waste time and money.

I havent gotten a response either chika. I think that you look good. Your chin is abit broad (Im one to talk. lol) but ive heard that with proper makeup technique that can be compensated for. Im still trying to figure out how to do it myself.

I have a pic that id like to share, hopefully i set it up right because I dont know how to do pics on this site.

I would say for now try adding a padded bra. (until your development is more complete) this will help make your features more believeable and take attention away from your shoulders. (having broad shoulders like we do sucks but we can try to work around it.) love the shirt by the way! when taking a pose, try to shift your hips and shoulders so that they almost form a triangle. the slope of your shoulders and the slope of your hips should be opposite so that they point towards each other. this will help give you a more feminine appearance. Anyone else have suggestions? Im still learning as well.

I think you will be ok :).

And remember it takes time.. But I understand why you feel that you arent making any progress, I feel much the same way :S, but try to take one picture each month and then compare, you will notice a difference.

Given enough time on HRT, some weight loss and a nice haircut, you'll pass. You have potential but you aren't quite there yet.

Miss Daisybelle I personally believe that the second look works better for you but thats just my opinion. I love the shirts by the way. The first looks more like something you would weaqr out at night whereas the blue looks better for going out in the day.

Hi,

This is my first post and I hope not my last!

What does everyone think of my chance to pass?

I've done nothing other than a herbal regime and dietary changes, but I've started to see a therapist and will start HRT soon hopefully. I'm 24, 184cm, 75kg (but I've been steadily losing weight and will be 70kg by the time I'm on HRT). Also am starting laser hair treatment next week, so excited!

So, Aleah, you haven't even started HRT yet?!

You are fortunate not to have any significant brow ridge.

You will want to thin the eyebrows, and you have a bit of a beard and 'stache shadow, but not too bad.

Your Adam's Apple is somewhat apparent in the bottom picture, but not in the top one.

So I think you have a good plan in place, and it seems to me the girl juice might work well for you.  :)

Consider posting a short biographical note in the Introduction forum.  Thanks for joining, and please make use of our various beauty forums for tips on makeup, and hair, and FFS.  Welcome.

Yeah I'm still very much male mode there, so I haven't done anything with my shadow, eyebrows or hair, at least until I move out of home.

Was just wondering how well my genetics will pan out with HRT.

I've been putting this off for a while now but I thought it's time to see what chance people think i'll have of passing once i've been on HRT, the lighting's terrible & the camera isn't very good so i'm looking at face shape, bone structure right now.
If however you can suggest anything to help with make-up then suggestions are welcome but it may be hard to judge due to the poor picture quality.

Fear of hormones, probably just starting trouble, so living more as woman now a days, except at work. I wonder if I pass though, I
just dress without worrying too much if I pass, but a reality check would be nice.

Hi everyone. I've been taking baby steps and finally posting pics on here. I was hoping for some input. I haven't had really the best time recently with my transition due to a sick baby (she's been in and out of the hospital). But, despite that, I'm trying to move forward with things.
I don't have too many people I can turn to for advice or share this with so that's why I am here for some help and support.
Please feel free to critique me. I know it might be hard for me to hear some stuff, but, I also thing this is the place to get help when it comes to transitioning.  I don't want to kid myself and say, I feel I'm ready to step out as ME, so let me know...PLEASE.


The only thing I am wearing here is a little eyeliner.
The things that bother me the most are my upper lip and nose. I'm currently looking into FFS.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QtV0CRwKB_s/UIXfXKM8GWI/AAAAAAAABGs/tq0MqnJmo_w/s480/ASHLEYNEWHAIRCUT.jpg)

The next one is me without any make-up (maybe eyeliner here too, don't remember).

Any chance of me passing or being pretty once I start HRT? ???

I've been a member of Susans for a while but I have decided to try to transition. I'm scared. I'm 5'11", bald, with very broad back and shoulders, it has never felt possible. I've been on HRT for comfort but it hasn't done a lot. I'm working on losing weight, I've lost 40 lbs of 120. I currently live as a fairly androgynous gay man.

Can you see something? Could I pass someday?

The black and white picture is very feminine.  Upper left is quite androgynous.
The one with the costume beard made me chuckle.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You made my day! ;D

Today is Diwali in India, all kinds of festivities, and lot of firecrackers. I was with my friends (my favorite couple), their place, celebrating diwali traditionally. (I closed my ears during some heavy crackers :P, because I am a bit scared of them)

Anita, you won't have any troubles at all with passing. When I first saw it I thought: "Well, I can still see the man in her face a little bit, but it looks like she had very feminine features before she started HRT." Then I saw that you haven't started HRT yet. Off to a hell of a start.

Pre-HRT. This is my first attempt at doing makeup, so it still needs a lot of tuning, but it's a start. And no need for anyone to butter things up for me, constructive criticism is always a good thing.

Nice starting point with your hair.. i started growing mine out from a shaved head.

Your forhead looks very masculine, probably worse from the side but you didnt show that angle.
From these front photos the eyebrows are a huge giveaway, but your probably not ready to have them shaped, and you shouldnt unless your fulltime because a guy with fem eyebrows gets rlly akward looks from strangers.

Your chin and jaw is very masculine as well, your kneck size is huge, and the way the skin hangs over your face is in a masculine way, with all the weight around the outsides of your mouth.

You are an FFS candidate for sure.

Thanks for the honesty. I definitely agree that it's going to take some serious re-shaping to make my face passable, but I'm not too worried about it. Just means it'll be all that much better when I finally get there.

whats wrong with being a male with very shapely eyebrows ? i find it weird that so many trans people are obssesed with conforming entirely to to whatever gender that they are presenting as, when they present as male before its an entirely normal male with no androgyny or gender variation , and when they present female its an entirely normal female too

The picture is my current profile pic.

I cannot believe I'm actually posting in this thread considering the fact I never thought I'd do any form of transition ever again.  I'm not sure how far I'll go, but I started this week.

Today is day 0 of my transition and this is a pic of day 0.  No make up, no girl clothes, just me...  I realize I've got several hurdles to overcome and my hair to grow out, but I wanted to get some feedback on if anyone thought I could pass eventually and what I could do barring surgery, hormones, to get there for now.

I'll try to get a less fuzzy pic in the future.

My boyfriend and I went to a bar, which was new to me since I've really only been getting out when going to my therapist. Both of us agree that I don't entirely pass, but that I at least seem to be improving. Lighting is critical - I think these pics are flattering, but I went through several cell phone pics at the bar that caught and emphasized more of my masculine features. Kinda depressed me a little, but I wasn't too bothered since it was a gay bar anyway. He thinks I look a bit like Sarah Palin. Hrmff.

Also... I hate wearing a wig.
My eyebrows are too thick =/

Bubbles you look beautiful! honestly I couldnt tell without looking closely, though i know what you mean by having the right lighting. I love your wig and would love to have that style myself. (i have to save up before i buy a new wig). Hopefully your hair does grow soon though, I know the difficulties that you face in wearing them. (especially the itching). Good luck to you! ;)

You definitely are still in like a clockable range if someone knows physical gender differences and is paying attention but also you should be passable after hormone effects!

You could try contouring w/ makeup until then to take some bulk from the jaw. And I know it is probably hard but it would help you to gain a little fat.

And yes they are not very visible in the pics but eyebrows are extremely important. At least your wig looks pretty good, usually wigs look... wig-y, though obviously there is a difference in pics and real life.

Good luck  :)

Yep. The wig overall looks fairly natural, but sometimes I think it doesn't quite fit my face. I'm also working on getting a little fatter... but taking it easy since I don't want to overdo it. I think, after the results of HRT are more conclusive, I'll have to have nose/jaw (chin/mandible) work. I'll probably have that done at the time of a trachea shave. That'll hopefully be the coup de grâce to any sense of inadequacy.

Freya, your chin is masculine as others have noted but your forehead you can hide somewhat by changing hair styles. Later on you might want to consider a scalp advancement or hair transplants in that frontal area.

You have beautiful cheekbones though! And your mouth looks very feminine. If I were you I would not do anything about FFS until I had been on HRT for a 1-2 years at least. Let the hormones do their thing as lots of your facial aspects are likely to change under HRT. Skin texture and tightness will change under HRT. Also, electrolysis or laser will further change the skin, particularly along the jawline and the lips. Male skin is thicker because it has to support the heavy beard follicles. As those are removed and as HRT works as well, the thickness of skin around the mouth can change further bringing out the lips. Once you are much further along would be the time to evaluate serious FFS options to finish things.

Oh yeah, smile!

This is without make-up because I don't have any that is the right shade and I'm too scared to go outside to buy any. My hair is tucked down the head-hole part of my shirt because I sleep a lot during the day and just take on a shirt when I wake up (been up half an hour or an hour before pic). Also about a days worth of beard growth, though it might not be very visible on the pictures.
I keep my eyebrows a bit thicker to not get strange stares when I do go outside, and my hair is just... a mess.
I'm also trying to figure out how on earth I'm gonna fix the hair at ear height... if I just cut it, it looks really bad because it's straight... so I don't know what to do about it really -.-

22.5 years old at 2.5 months HRT...
I think my issues are that my chin is too broad, not round and pointy enough. My jaw line is too round, making it look more masculine. My eyes are too high up, too close together and maybe too small, making the space between my eyes and lips really long, empty, awkward and masculine. Might be something I've missed... it's hard for me to figure out exactly what makes me look so masculine. About my nose I'm not sure if it's a give away, because my older sister has pretty much the same one.
I won't ever be able to afford FFS (maybe trough a loan, but that isn't gonna happen in a long time), would it be possible for me to pass with just make up, hair, eyebrows and maybe HRT time? Or is FFS just simply a must?

Muuu you are way too hard on yourself sweety.

You already pass easily and without makeup. Your chin is fine, your jaw is fine, you have no hard features. You are only 2.5 months on hormones, give it time to work and based on these photos you won't even need ffs.

Not every woman looks like a supermodel, do not compare yourself to those silly ideas of what a woman's features "should" look like because it's a load of crap. You look great already and i'm not just saying that because this is a support forum  ;)

Let's see -small face/chin/small nose/good hair.

I see a very feminine face, and that's without makeup.

The only thing is your brows, as you know, are low but that is very easily fixed.

From the side your chin looks a tad more masculine but you would suit a layered cut at chin length.

For your brows just get a brow pencil and darken over the hair on top of your brow to get the right shape, then start plucking along the bottom to shape them. There should be really light hairs on top of your brow that you can darken in. My advise would be just to take the time to gradually shape your brows. Look at the other women when you're out and about to see how theirs are shaped as a guide.

As for makeup... just walk in with confidence and ask! Ask for makeup that is light, like you aren't wearing any makeup, then you can ease into it.

Today is Diwali in India, all kinds of festivities, and lot of firecrackers. I was with my friends (my favorite couple), their place, celebrating diwali traditionally. (I closed my ears during some heavy crackers :P, because I am a bit scared of them)

My boyfriend and I went to a bar, which was new to me since I've really only been getting out when going to my therapist. Both of us agree that I don't entirely pass, but that I at least seem to be improving. Lighting is critical - I think these pics are flattering, but I went through several cell phone pics at the bar that caught and emphasized more of my masculine features. Kinda depressed me a little, but I wasn't too bothered since it was a gay bar anyway. He thinks I look a bit like Sarah Palin. Hrmff.

Also... I hate wearing a wig.
My eyebrows are too thick =/

(fyi, 5 months HRT)

I wouldn't sell yourself short, your a stunning lady.  Thick eyebrows can be cute!

When I go out I don't completely pass either because of attitude, but I think its a process of accepting your own body.  Passing is not looking like a bombshell, but giving people no doubt about what you are through confidence ^.^.

I sort of learned that from a friend in rl who is also transitioning, but visually saw how people saw her due to her own confidence.

This is without make-up because I don't have any that is the right shade and I'm too scared to go outside to buy any. My hair is tucked down the head-hole part of my shirt because I sleep a lot during the day and just take on a shirt when I wake up (been up half an hour or an hour before pic). Also about a days worth of beard growth, though it might not be very visible on the pictures.
I keep my eyebrows a bit thicker to not get strange stares when I do go outside, and my hair is just... a mess.
I'm also trying to figure out how on earth I'm gonna fix the hair at ear height... if I just cut it, it looks really bad because it's straight... so I don't know what to do about it really -.-

22.5 years old at 2.5 months HRT...
I think my issues are that my chin is too broad, not round and pointy enough. My jaw line is too round, making it look more masculine. My eyes are too high up, too close together and maybe too small, making the space between my eyes and lips really long, empty, awkward and masculine. Might be something I've missed... it's hard for me to figure out exactly what makes me look so masculine. About my nose I'm not sure if it's a give away, because my older sister has pretty much the same one.
I won't ever be able to afford FFS (maybe trough a loan, but that isn't gonna happen in a long time), would it be possible for me to pass with just make up, hair, eyebrows and maybe HRT time? Or is FFS just simply a must?

Wow, you look exactly like one of my female cousins, especially in that top picture.

You will pass 100% without makeup, especially with some brow shaping, after a little while longer on HRT imo!

Thanks for the comments... I'm somewhat confused though, I've been very frustrated with how masculine my face is, especially this last week. I just felt quite good one day, without anxiety and hopless feelings, so I thought I'd see what others thought. So I posted here, wanting to hear other peoples perspective, and make up my mind about things, because I want solid facts and opinions so that my decisions can be somewhat justified.
Yeah, I'm not sure if these comments are out of pity... I really hope they aren't, because giving false hope is really a horrible thing...

Well, thanks again.
I don't think the comments come from pity. You actually do have a good start for how short a time you have been on hrt.

You already have nice high cheekbones going for you, and your face already has pretty soft features. I'm sure HRT will convincingly help you pass.

When I feel dysphoric, I do this exact same thing. It's always nice to have reassurance from others when yourself just refuses to give it.

Hi insideontheoutside,
I actually think you look male/andro. The female aspects are the facial padding, and total lack of facial hair. I def would have said male if asked. Dont worry bout the cheek bones, I never had probs passing as a dude and mine look similiar to yours.
Ofc thats an opinion from juat one pic, good luck!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments and feedback. T isn't really a possibility for me, so I'm kind of stuck working with what I've got. I actually do have a small amount of facial hair but it's not very noticeable as it's mostly at the edges of my chin and under it. So someone would have to look really close. I've dyed my eyebrows before so I might try that again. I'm completely incompetent with make up lol.

Hugs to all.
Nikki..

We have all felt like that, and I definitely have held on only to see how HRT effected me. I have only just started my RLE, and it has taken me a year to get even remotely happy with how I look, and I still heavily doubt I pass (even though I've had nice comments on here as well as my friend saying I'm passable).  The main thing it to let the HRT have time, and try not to be negative about you future ( I'm a right hypocrite!). One day you will belooking in the mirror and you'll start seeing "her"instead of "him" :)

good so far. It does take  some time, I think it was around 2 years before I was really ma'amed much myself. And horizontal stripes are something we should stay away from when we have a little wider top than bottom. Just offering my two cents:)

Seriously, get some eyeliner and a lil mascara and your face will instantly transform..  try ebay, elfcosmetics.com, etc.  throw a little on, be amazed at how cute you are, then stroll into sephora with a snazzy purse and tell them what you want.  I bet they won't even bat an eyelash at you.   ;D

Yes.. a resounding yes!


oh, and you need a URL ending with .jpg .gif .png etc for the forum to recognize a picture file.  there should be a thing you can click on your flickr that has that ending in it.   usually it is in a box that says share to facebook, share to forum, share to twitter etc.

click the one that says forum or blog.

Yay I got it ;D this was taken in october. I need to take some new pics!

You're posting in "Could I pass one day" so here's my advice
Try to get on hrt already, but IMO you'd benefit from FFS since hormones can't alter bone structure.

Sloped nose doesn't really suit your masculine profile, straight nose is better.

I agree, about the nose shape part bit.
A sloped curved nose isn't always the right shape for everyone.
A straighter(although smaller than what you have) would work out better for your facial structure.

Straight noses all the way I hate ski-slope noses.

Beautiful straight noses.

lol whatcha talkin' bout? Your nose isn't even big.

Pretty much this. 

I've seen more women with your type of nose, HeatherR.  It's very feminine to me and so is your whole profile.   As for it being big, as if.  Now, my sister's nose...that's huge [huge noses run in my dad's family].  Yours isn't remotely big from either angle.

@ Music:

I definitely think you can pass one day. :)

Hey everyone,

I've been on HRT for close to 3 months now and was wondering if you think I will pass well. I'm super nervous because I'm 6'0 and currently around 190  :-\

No makeup, only tinted facial moisturizer.

Thanks! - Michelle

You must have missed the point about what we were saying V M. We weren't speaking of her real nose but the red paint edit she made over her nose giving it an extreme slope.

Well, I haven't posted in a while...

Anyway, I've been on HRT for a bit, and have had my eyebrows waxed, but I don't really do much else in the way of presenting yet.  I'm still kind of waiting on my hair to grow out (got it cut short over the summer and it's a bit awkward at the moment) and to get some electrolysis done thoroughly on my neck.  I also took a break over the summer from HRT due to my long-term girlfriend leaving me, which didn't really help anything.  For now I'm kind of just aiming to be a bit more androgynous publicly, working with changes i can be comfortable with.  Here are a few pics.

    You have nice basic features to work with, if you go full-time you might consider having a little nose reconstruction. The bridge is a bit masculine, it can be feminized a bit other than that you look very nice on the verge of pretty. I have the same problem with my nose and a crease in the bridge that makes me look aggressive along with war scars in my brow so I don't show my mug shots here so's not to scare anyone.

Thanks.  Yeah if I could afford it I'd have a lot more than just my nose/brow worked on (my jaw is nuts IMO), but I was sort of thinking about that and my adam's apple at least.  I have some scarring from my younger years as well, on my upper lip, a bit inferolateral to my mouth, along my right cheek, and above my left eye, but I can't do much about 'em.

For the time being full-time, when it comes, I likely wont be able to pass I don't think, but I can't keep putting it off forever.  Surgeries are something I can work toward later when I'm not a broke student.

I think your jaw looks fine I wouldn't worry about it, scars won't affect your ability to pass, look at Tina Fey she was attacked and given a nasty cut and she isn't going to have it fixed either and she's as nice as cis women come. Just the nose redo and possibly a trach shave in time and you'll be good to go!

Cori I'd say you definitely have androgynous down. In fact if I saw you on the street (especially in something like the outfit in picture 2) I may think you were just a tomboy. I don't see any problems with you passing down the road.

@Cori,

You have a nice face shape for hormones to feminize and as Shantel points out the nose needs work.

@Shantel,

Does make up cover the brow scar? I have a scar, fortunately a wig covers it up near my hairline. I have sun tanned seared line at the top of my chin which make up softens but still a noticeable line. Some thoughts.

Hey everyone! I'm new here and just started my transition- had my first laser treatment for beard removal today and came out to a close friend... aka it's officially begun!! :D I'm super excited to see what HRT will bring me (starting when I get back from holiday travels in Jan). Also my hair is much longer in the back, about 2-3" below shoulder.

Here are a few pics... What do you think?!

Girl, everything looks fine, and your brow is not as bad as mine. I have plenty of other facial features that are feminine enough, but my forehead is basically the worst-case scenario.

Hey Jenny.  Yeah, your beard shadow is very evident in the top picture.  Laser or electrolysis is a good place to start.  You may want to thin your brows from the bottom, too.

In that lower picture, it is hard for me to gender you.

Go over to the before and after topic and see the amazing changes that happen in time.

>:-) :angel: I need some real constructive criticism and some honest opinions about how masculine or feminine I look now, and what features you see in my face that help me, and what features would hurt me. I don't really want to post any body shots yet cause Im overweight and I plan on loosing a lot of weight in the next 6 months so i can fit into something attractive. I have had no hrt at all or anything else done in this photo period. I had only waxed my eyebrows a little and shaved close and no makeup or anything at all.

I have my baby blanket wrapped around me for extra cuteness though :)

What can i do to improve my looks being more feminine without hrt at the moment, besides makeup, anyone have any suggestions? I will be growing my hair out long again but it will take a while I am sure. What i really need to know is "will I make a cute girl"? Its very hard to make a mental image of myself but people can see better what i can't see in my own self.

Honesty will be very helpful to me at this point.

You have a rounded face and fairly soft features, and your eyes & smile have a gentleness to them that will serve you well. I'd say grow & style your hair (or get a good hairpiece), something that will frame the face a bit. I'd also say to use make-up to lenthen your eyelashes and shape your eyebrows.

@Shawn Sunshine: I have to agree with DeeperThanSwords. Your face is "soft" as is, and your smile is beautiful. With a good hair cut (now or after it grows), it'll just bring out those features even more. Make-up will help too, in which it'll highlight the features you have going for you (cheeks, lips, eyes), and hide/detract from what little shadow shows. Also, I'm not sure if it is the lighting, but it appears your eyebrows are "thinned" near the end. If so, I have the same problem - strong and dark in person; nearly non-existent in photos. But if not, I'd suggest leaving a little more to define that brow.

I can understand that, I'm on a weight loss goal too, and losing weight/gaining fitness does wonders for your self-esteem. Even losing 5 kilos made a huge difference to me in terms of fitness and wellbeing, so I'm sure that it'll help you too.  :)

Shawn, like others have said, your face is quite soft already however, you should be prepared for that to change if you aim to loose a lot of weight. Your cheeks will thin down a lot I'd say. Hrt will bring the softness back to your face in a more "female" pattern. Good luck with your weight loss programme. When I wanted to loose a little weight last year, I went on a calorie restriction diet, and walked a lot. I tried to stay under 700 calories a day. It worked well and quite quickly although I'm sure everyone looses weight differently.

Aside from the hairline and facial beard, yes.

The chin and jaw could look like they had rough skin or light acne scarring to me at a bit of a distance, but that's just my own perception. Closer up, the grain becomes more noticeable. The rest of the face looks great to me.

I think she'd look really cute with a blunt fringe. It would shorten the forehead, and would drawn more attention to those lovely big expressive eyes.

well my hair can curl like hers for sure! I'm really in need to get a cut and style, I was looking at maybe going slightly lighter in color also.

P.S. I love the "Bettie Bangs" and wish I could pull them off.. however my bangs are still a bit thin, though they are springing back with HRT!

Bettie was a legend :). Maybe have a go at parting your hair from an inch or 2 to one side, rather than down the middle? That might balance your face-forehead ratio while you grow out the bangs?

Good plan Penny! You do have a very pretty face though and nice full hair in spite of a high forehead and possibly receding hairline. Smart girls learn how to camouflage their deficiencies whether it's the best hair style for them or the style of clothing that minimizes problem areas and maximizes assets. Now if only I could figure out what to do for my own face! lol

Hi girlfriend,
       You're looking just great, I love your photos. You're a bit on the androgynous end for the time being like so many of us are, but after all it is called transition for a good reason. You're looking good now and will get even better as time goes on. What's wrong with being tall, tall girls look beautiful! A number of Victoria's Secret models and famous runway models are six feet tall and above. Yes you blend!

Hi everyone, a little nervous about this but here goes. Had some time to myself tonight so had my first attempt with a little make up. I know I need to sort under my eyes, maybe I should be sleeping now instead of posting this!

Anyway, do I have a chance of passing? I'm 30, 6'2, 173lb and pre-everything bar 3 IPL sessions and some weight loss. My height and big feet are what put me off when I first had gender worries ten years ago, wish I hadn't been so stupid then!

Your comment "I wish I hadn't been so stupid then" has echoed through the hallowed halls of Susan's Place each year and I am one who has cried about it so often, so you're definitely not alone. You have a nice face to begin with so yes you could pass some day without too much effort and a little FFS. Nice head of hair and you have a fairly trim and slim body type, so what's holding you back? Go for it.

You look very good. I think if you trim your hair so you have bangs it will feminize your face more and bring more attention to your beautiful eyes.

Hello, everyone! I've already posted once in the old thread, but I've since went through almost a year of physical change before having enough courage to see a gender therapist. That said, I am starting estrogen within a couple of days.

My excitement can't be described, and the butterflies in my stomach make it so incredibly hard to think about anything else at this point.

Judging by these pictures, is it fair to assume that estrogen will work okay on me? Blunt honesty is welcome, so kindly be honest. :-X
For the record, I am 22 years old as of September, just shy of 6' tall and willow-thin. Specifically, I am most uncertain of my nose and my jawline, as well as this wild hair that I hope will behave at some point.

This is me in February 2012:

Hi all,
This is me, hair tied back and absolutely no makeup (laying in bed cause I'm lazy :p ). I've been full time for about 5 months now and on hrt for about 20 months. I turned 32 a couple of months ago. Just wondering if I'm passable in a "natural" state (ie, hair back, no makeup)


Also, here's a picture that shows my figure. I was sunbathing the otherday and saw my own reflection in the glass and couldn't resist a totally narcissistic photo lol (I also don't own any big mirrors lol) I was surprised by how much my overall figure has softened and gotten a little curvy... Still not totally happy with it though, Id like to get the abdominal tightening thing done that accentuates the waist (can't remember the name)

Thanks for the comments people :),

Flandre, you do have a "strong" jaw but, you'll be surprised how much that softens on hrt. I think you have very lovely eye. I think if you had your eyebrows shaped you'd be amazed at the difference it makes to your over all appearance. Give hrt some time, you'll be happy :)

Hi Everyone,

This is my second post after my intro. Hoping to start hormones and lose a lot of weight in the new year. I don't have a clue if I am doing this right or putting my big wedge heels in it but this is me with makeup and a cheap fancy dress wig trying to find my look. Yes the foundation is trowelled on (can't wait for electrolysis!).

Flandre: Congrats!  I think you have some nice features, too- eyes, cheekbones, and nose, for starters.  And your chin is a bit square now, but I feel like your jawline should round out nicely with HRT.  There's a good canvas there!

Alright, time for me to finally join the club.  This was also my first time playing around with eye makeup...clearly concealing the beard shadow is the next step (and this is ~an hour after a close shave).

Dee: What Isabelle said...you're beautiful...you will be unstoppable in transition. Be patient with your body, have faith...

Bex80: I understand you're looking to lose a lot of weight, and I hope you accomplish whatever your goals are - but you are beautiful and totally passable already. That is an advantage of a shapely figure, and softened face. You are beautiful...so excited for you!

Isabelle: Girl you're 100% woman and I can't imagine questioning it....so cute...x

Flandre: You're very attractive, and while your features are currently saying Boy, they don't necessarily have to. Your hair is growing, as I can see - and hair makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Your strong jaw is obviously apparent, but it isn't bull->-bleeped-<- when I tell you a strong jaw is a good look on a woman. Its about balancing out your features to look more feminine overall, and you have a great palette to work from. You are very thin and hollowed by testosterone, and HRT does change you. The thing you need to realize is that hormonal changes to the face may be subtle and not affect bone structure, but those subtle changes make huge differences in the way we are perceived. Smoother hairless skin with a soft and plumped texture can make a face completely different. I am very similar to you...thin, 5'11, verrrry similar hair. I happen to have a stronger brow than you, and I do despise it...but I also try to accept it. I may get forehead surgery one day, but I doubt it...I hate the idea of surgery and I believe I can be the woman I am without it. Though sometimes I feel it hinders my ability to pass, others remind me that unique features can be very attractive. As for your hair, I know it is hard. Mine is just that way and at that length it is INSANE...very frizzy and unattractive and curly in a dopey way...haha not that yours looks like that but mine did and I wouldn't besurprised if you find it frsutrating. Just hold in there because that hair is big and bouncy and responds amazingly well to a blowdryer and a round brush...you can do anything with it and once its long enough it becomes an asset. Have patience!! And go to a stylist to help maintain it as it grows...you're going to do great don't worry...if your nose or jaw become unbearable to your transition then youll deal with it as it comes, but for now you can work with what you have...

I really like your makeup style.  It has a little Asian overtone, to my eyes.

But I don't see what you could do with FFS?  I mean, that is a very feminine presentation already.  And you should be posting over in the Fabulous topic.

Isabelle, if you are not completely happy with your waist and abdominal muscles, try doing the "yoga plank" several times per day.  There are plenty of websites and youtubes that demonstrate it.

That means so much thank you. I am big physically anyway at 6'2" and 230 pounds. Women like Miranda Hart and Rebecca Adlington are an inspiration. Rebecca's smile is amazing and lights up her face. x

and about the ffs yea i know i have quite a androgynous face naturally but i still do have some quite mauscline features , im hoping ffs will push me over from androgynous to a 100 percent female face

mementomori I suppose you have used quite a bit of foundation, you do have an attractively feminine shaped face. However your eyebrows deserve some rethinking as they are reminiscent of the 1920's and 30's when women shaved their eyebrows off and penciled them in. To be honest this practice has the effect of giving a woman a rather cold, aloof and unapproachable look and even hints at the possibility of underlying bitchiness. I'm not wishing to hurt your feelings dear, this is just an honest opinion and we all know about opinions.  ;)

I think so, you look very sporty, so already have the tomboy look, if thats what your going for, me I would call myself a trans-lesbian also , but I'm aiming for a more girly look.

I'm actually one of the least sporty people alive! but I am a musician and identify, as you correctly assume, as a tomboyish girl.


I apologise for attempting to explain my gender identity through my sexuality - it is never a good idea!

So... I am now posting in this thread for the first time (I think :P). Lately I have had som serious doubts that I ever will be passable =/, it really makes me depressed like nothing else. I can hardly think or function normally anymore because of it.


I am flying again. Bus as a guy and therefore I had to cut my hair  :'( (thats why it is so short in these pictures) I really hate it because I looked much better before. But I need the money for surgery so I had to do it

I cant believe that I am doing this!

This is me 5o clock in the morning and looking like hell, no makeup. and no expressions so there wont be any illusions lookswise, :(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1179.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx395%2FCarolinaBob1983%2F2012-12-21-7279_zps175da09f.jpg&hash=fc01e98950de551a1a7e5f461c79691d219eb843)

A little later during the day.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1179.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx395%2FCarolinaBob1983%2F2012-12-21-7225_zpsb19fa37d.jpg&hash=e1287f76921ed7f2bada2085ac57b862ea95f058)

Eyes fixed up + lipgloss and blush.

I know one thing, my nose is huge and is a big obstacle for me right now :(, it needs to be fixed. I got it from my mom and it looks too bold and harsh. Will fix it during 2013 though thats my goal.


FFS is also something that I will get but I am not sure when yet (its all about the money).


I am soon 8months in on HRT. But I had some minor setbacks on the way, about 5 months in I switched to gel but it didnt work for me and my t spiked so I lost alot of progress =/. Just got it back under control a month ago.


So, what can I do to make my appearance better? I mean I know how to do it with makeup but I dont want to use alot of it all the time. Some days I am just lazy.

Carolina1983, well you have a big forehead, but a lot of women do actually, even though more men have this. But I see nothing about you that screams male. If you get to a place where you can get some bangs going again, even better. Your pretty and have a great smile anyhow and that's what matters most.

My forehead is not big its huge :P. I will get bangs again. I cant stay like this for much longer because it makes me feel really bad about myself. And I am starting to get anxiety problems too because of my appearance.

Carolina I don't understand why you post here, you're already into HRT and from past pics I've seen, or even your avatar image, you already look great!

you can style your hair to hide your forehead if that bothers you. for example:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miradadeulises.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F12%2FIn-time-1.jpg&hash=d5e0625ed5cd503a5beb7cfddfa41c52bcecdc19)(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.sodahead.com%2Fprofiles%2F0%2F0%2F2%2F4%2F9%2F4%2F0%2F8%2F3%2Fgoth-hair-67929407436.png&hash=91ab007ac648f618cad0feee78b92a3ce6fe6bc6)

Your face is already girly, but of course it's very difficult for us to see that in our own face. we always remind our male image. but from the outside perspective I can say that you already look good. I know it's not too much when you cannot believe it, but I wanted to say it still.

BTW we're born the same year  ;)

You know, it's sort of funny.  We all are our own worst critics.  I look at your photo, face on, and see nothing masculine.  Perhaps a profile would show some brow ridge (bossing), or nose work that might need to be done, but honestly, I don't see a thing that is not completely passable and feminine!

I have three daughters, aged 19 to 26.  You fit right in.

Sorry about the rather lame photo quality.

I never really thought of myself as looking like what people would generally consider 'masculine', but then, I'm not so sure nowadays...

@Mememtomori: The exaggerated lips and the eyebrows are horrible imo and do not help you at all. Let these poor eyebrows grow back before you're too old and they just don't grow back.. Other than that I don't see much hard features to me these two elements make you look beyond fake.

@Carolina: Your face is still fairly masculine but there are still many changes ahead of you from HRT. What is really screaming man is the hairline/forehead you need to deal with that at all costs. Your nose is really not as bad as you think( can't tell for sure without a side pic) but I'm confident that with a little more HRT you'll be satisfied of your results without FFS.

I would say you're close. Get rid of the shadow (it's not bad, some concealer should do the trick)and shape your eyebrows and it will do wonders. Also, I would go with something other than a turtleneck, it makes your neck look short. Go with some sort of plunging neckline.

I'm more like truetranssoulrebel, so I'm not exactly MtF (perhaps MtFtA or MtA). I would prefer to identify as female, but not a girly female, and like women as well.

So, repeating the question, could I pass one day?

Yes and that worries me =/, that my face still is fairly masculine  :'(. How long shall I wait until deciding on all the FFS procedures that I need?

My hairline is something that I dislike really much, I really got all the bad traits from my mother =/. The ting is that I feel that my nose is too harsh and big, it kills my appearance. Even my wife said that with a more "soft" nose I would do so much better.

But there is more to do ofcourse and one of those things are my hairline, the other is forehead and brow bossing + chin.


I need to make a priority list because of money issues.


Right now its really hard to keep going because I am forced to present male which sucks and makes me feel like a joke.

Thanks for the honest comments :)

  Loving the hair!  I think your identity is a very good description of where I'm headed.  I almost feel like I need to swing all the way over to female first so that I can shift back a bit towards the centre using it as a reference point.  As to your passing, in this town you're already there!

Thank you! :))) And it has been a long way (2-year HRT). I just am wondering about when, where, with whom to identify as female. I'm long preparing people for that, myself included. I'm struggling to work remotely and to depend on many sources of income instead of just one (so I can lose some if needed).

Hope someday I post a pic in the "other side" :D

Hi you! And wow how great you look ^^
In this photo, I wouldn't mistake you as a boy. I think your face in the photo falls into the tomboyish/androgyne female area. So yea, for me you are already there, and it's just about how far you wanna go now. :)

Hi! :) Thanks ^_^ There are the details also. I'm wearing foundation ::) so some has to be worked – more laser sessions, maybe electrolysis – and then I'm done. People like my hair, but I have to work on it for 30 minutes before going out!

I'll post another photo then and seek for more clothing. Now it's time to buy tomboyish clothes. :) (love shopping! though I don't stop at every place to see)

Just remembering, I'm MtFtA or MtA (I prefer to identify as female, but I still didn't) and jokingly I thought about "if I posted a photo of myself wearing a suit, would still I me female-ish?". Thanks, Phoeniks, for making me reach that! :)))\\

There are women who wear suits  :)  It was actually a fashion statement for women to wear men's suits for awhile, but of course most wear suits designed for women now

Anyway, I still think you look rather feminine  :)

Hello again! So I posted a pic earlier just after my first laser session (pg 12). I know my beard was looking crazy in that pic, but now I am getting close shaves again and a majority of my neck hair has fallen out completely :D Due for another laser session in a week.

I've also arched my eyebrows just a tad as suggested, and I've been experimenting with a slight amount of foundation + mascara in my day to day androgynous routine. Today I was feeling especially good so I decided to take a pic to share.

I know my adam's apple is rather large (albiet semi-hidden in this pic) and I'm pretty self conscious about it, so I'm hoping to have that taken care of sometime in Jan/Feb. Also I am at exactly 3 weeks of HRT today!

I'm not really trying to pass yet, but in a  few weeks my friends are throwing another crossdressing friendly event that I'm really excited about... I will have another pic to share then :) What do you think now though? Do you think my facial structure will be feminine enough to pass given time with hormones? Very curious (and quite nervous) to know what you think.

Ehh, thank you! I'm just using an old suit (now it's giant in my body) that I have to tailor – will be using it for a while, as some activities require it. I am just aiming for (points to perfectly androgyne line) here (marks less than an inch after from female towards to androgyne line) :)

Your skin will still change. It'll become lighter and make more contrast with your lips. That's a very important point to make: GGs have a much greater contrast between lips/skin than men. As with me, some aspects were obvious when looking at a picture years before (took low-dose HRT for a long time before raising the dose), but your face will also soften more and become thinner.

At your start, you'll pass, no doubts! And your hair is very nice :)

thankyouthankyouthankyou soulfairer!!! It's a little scary for me right now... I feel myself becoming more self conscious about passing in the future with every successive week and your comment just made my day bigtime. Thank you :D You've made this Jenny a very happy Jenny.

I can already notice some of the pores on my face starting to shrink ever so slightly on my nose and around my lips... Seeing subtle differences already and comments like yours give me hope for the future.

You're features are fabulous, by the way. Also looking great in that suit. Love you're hair, too! :)

Ahhh, *flattered*! I think passing will be more and more "possible" when looking at the mirror. But there's the voice "we're not there yet", but changed happen and week after week they show themselves.

Ah, the pores, they will become thin, tiny! So that your skin also receives foundation better ;D

Thank you! I'm rebooting my life nowadays. I sometimes like my hair, but it takes nearly half an hour to make. And it's not marvelous all the time. :(

The suit obviously is not an everyday costume, but it's a good measure as I've owned it for years. I always use the same clothing to compare how I am doing, because they can change your figure a lot.

My measure was: I am a role male model today. How will it be one year after today? And today it has changed to this. And alas, I didn't like *that* much my appearance that I have a hard time to find a picture using that suit years ago. But I've taken more photos this year than in my entire life. Does it tell something? ;D

Those nasolabial folds look uber masculine, kinda take away from a feminine look which is based on smoothness of facial contours. I'd say the top half of your face is feminizable with HRT but not the parts under your eyes. I'm kinda in the same situation and HRT hasn't helped much.

My general md / laser technician also offers non surgical injectables (juvaderm, restylane, etc) that I think I will ask him about in the near future. I had definitely wondered about those folds. Thanks for the advice!

A little photoshop cloning tells me that you could be on to something... I will check it out at my next appt with him on Thursday.

I wonder if that kind of smoothness is achievable with injectables alone, that sure would be great.

Also, don't forget that HRT will also cause you to loose mass in your lower jaw area which will make your cheekbones more prominent and decrease the appearance of the nasolabial folds. You are young and beautiful so HRT will give you some really amazing results!  :-)

I think you could rock almost any type of clothing xD, but maybe thats just me :p. Thats too bad about the clothes, did something happen that made it not possible? True there is always the spring clothes to look forward to. I know I'm waiting xD.

Ahhh. It's cold here and I looked for some clothes, but it's summer here so shops haven't a lot of good clothes to choose from. And I almost never like t-shirts with drawings or text. And few brands offer plain clothes in vivid colours. So I generally source them from Amazon :)

I wait every three months x) ahahahah!

Will you always use makeup? I post photos with no makeup as they may become "real" benchmarks. But that is me, I intend to transition using no makeup or just a bit of BB cream and eyeliner. Don't know how you see yourself in the future, so it is just my opinion.

Well, it is the very first time I felt encouraged to come out "my room" in front a community, even a virtual one.
I prefer to think it is one great step. I had the background I would like to from the mates here, and it have no price.... I'm very grateful.

So, after these introduction.... I have thought seriously. I still have been to the doctor and I'm having weekly psychotherapy sessions. What more to start? I need to discuss more, to see the positive side ande the negative as well, even the 2013 "first minute" may be the very best time to taking the "first pirula", I need to think about, how to solve some little problems in the future (do something before the sterilization, plaining the change in front of my work mates, family and friends, etc.).

For me a BIG step is these feedback you are giving....

yes, have other little motivation to the make-up: helps to hide the traces of beard (i'm not feel good yet).

Many thanks again.

Ah, okay. I've been doing laser sessions, so beard is less of an issue to me now. But let me say, it *does* appear less in photos. I took more than one year to post a picture here, so you're definitely not alone!

The "first pirula" took me three weeks going back and forth from the drugstore, so it is indeed a difficult step, even if you have decided to buy it, I think.

I'm now closer to the moment I really have to think about the bit switch (there are some topics about "tipping points" here).

Good luck :))

Awww, Carolina, thank you x) It's just that I still can't see it in the mirror. But I've really changed since 2006, it's *very* true. But many of the features I attribute to laser, haircut and general care (we care about ourselves now!).

You're Wonderful!

Thank you! And as Shantel said, eventually you'll have to post pics sans makeup :) But the fact that you're already projecting so far is that changes probably will happen faster than for me. I just stayed afloat for months, perhaps more than a year, just almost waiting for changes to happen (did change many things such as taking care of myself and imagining how'd be the different life, but didn't act by trying a further projection wearing aggressive makeup to imagine different cheek lines, a smooth skin, a greater contrast between lip & skin, etc).

Yes, there's hope. Are you in HRT? If so, it'll hold the hairline still, that's very important. We can try to imagine the picture without facial hair, but for *us*, in the mirror, it really holds ourselves back because it's so a physical clue that our judgement is severely impaired.

Your hair is already delicate (I think mine is still masculine, don't really know why) and your lines are soft, so you're on track. :)

Got a ways to go, lets see how the hormones will go :D

Ah, you're going. Hope they recover your hairline. Mine did recover some, so today I'm just okay with it. And your smile is beautiful! :) Your hands are already feminine, and that will help you a lot. Way to go! :)

I am not on HRT yet but I do see the endocrinologist for my second appointment at the end of January and hope to start then. My problem with my hair is that it has never been particularly thick and longest I ever got it was on my shoulders normal and passed my shoulder blades when soaking wet lol It has been the length it is now for a few months as I cut it earlier in the year as a sort of final chance to see it short for a friend type deal.

Hope it starts getting longer.

Thank you.

Hoping my hairline will get much better, dont like the big forhead lol. I've been on medications for about 6 weeks and its been working, hairs starting to get thicker and I'll really know in a few months how it will really go. Other than that I have confidence that my body will get some great changes in!

Angelique, I think you're looking pretty good. You seem to have a nice complexion. You do have a few masculine features but I think after a year or two of hrt your face will become much softer. You'll probably find you're totally passable without FFS after hrt alone.

Still got a lot more laser to do (before I can wear little or no makeup), still need eyebrows shaped, still need to grow out my hair longer and only 1 month on HRT.

Hello from a new member. I'm 35 and from Finland. Been fighting against myself for most of life, but been going through my life for a few years now and finally came to a conclusion that I cannot continue like this anymore. Thus I've started to transition on my own. Nothing much yet done, but facial hair removal will start now in January, hormones I will hope to start next summer and a year from now, 1.1.2014 I hope to live as a woman among others. I hope :) Been lately so depressed that I didn't do this when I was twenty and still had most of the life ahead.

I would really appreciate brutally honest comments about my appearance. Being 35 I'm really worrying will I pass even after hormones (even when I've seen that the hormones can do miracles). I will turn 36 next summer, but hopefully I've been on hormones for a few months before birthday. In any case, it would be nice to get honest opinions now and not a year from now :)

Oh my I think HRT will do wonders with your face  :). I would say that you are pretty lucky because you have no male features standing out too much.

The thing that I can see is your adams apple but thats it.

First of all I would like to thanks all the comments you are doing here. I realize it's hard to evaluate my real appearance with make-up and I will send some photos in "sans" as soon I return form my travel.  However I have reasons to post photos with make. One is that it's not so easy to know who I am in the WEB (I'm deeply sorry but, as always, I'm in a hurricane of indecisions: take a step forward or try to straighten me like a man?).
But,  I can say  it is not so different as with make... Your words confirms that I can succeed in my transition. 
In truth I need to do something. Since I was a shield I have a strong, strong! problem of gender identity.  Even though I have strongly tried to adopt  a "normal life", has been very difficult to maintain relationships with girls.  My "natural hormonal balance" and their expressions in my body never allowed me to have all the functions of a man if you can understad me (as well it is not normal, I think, to have breasts without ever gotten a HRT).  All this confuses me and my family always suppressed me a lot, what makes me a deeply, deeply unhappy person. I just can not more live this big lie.
So, now I'm in my own life and I'm starting the process. You do not know how your feedback has helped me.
Cheers. Bea.

We are all here for that. :) If you were "blessed" (in our way of thinking, at least) having breasts without ever being in HRT, so enjoy the ride. Who knows what the changes will be when you start HRT and remove the facial hair? :)

Have a good luck in starting your process! And keep track of it here, if you want to!

Hi Carolina. For me the greatest meaning is not to look like... . I'm sure to say my biggest interest is to see my psychological answer to this transformation, in order to have a normal life, with friends, social live, joys, love, be accepted in a group... I'm very unhappy and stressed out all the time, despite being quite a successful professional life.

In time: As my doctor referred I started taking finasteride yesterday, at last to stop the hair loss and, principally, to see the responses to my case. Cheers and thank you again.

You need to use a photo hosting site like Photobucket, ImageShack, TinyPic, Imgur or such  :)  Photobucket is fairly easy to use but if you do a web search for 'photo hosting sites' I'm sure you'll find one you like  :)

Yes, definitely and with great success! You have a darling face, basically quite feminine and delicately proportioned. Your eyebrows will possibly need a tiny bit of tweaking and you'll do well to laser any existing facial hair. You are already a beautiful kid just as you are, and where did you get those pouty lips Miss Pretty face?

Well yeah, there's a couple of grumpy guy pix but isn't going to change my original assessment. If you keep scrunching up your forehead with the tough guy look you'll wind up wearing those creases and have to get them botoxed out later. Better listen to Aunti Shan!

Hi, y'all. I'm new. :)

http://s1282.beta.photobucket.com/user/omicron1231/library/ (http://s1282.beta.photobucket.com/user/omicron1231/library/)

Today is, God willing, t-minus 7 for the beginning of HRT. I've had a month and change of electrolysis work done, and have been growing my hair out for about a year. Haven't done much with styling or clothing yet. This is very much "me as I am day to day." One of the two friends I have confided in expressed skepticism that I would ever be female enough to pass, so in a fit of worry I came here.

So, two questions: Will my general 6'-even, looks-pudgy-at-180lb build be passable in time? And, what about the face? I assume FFS will be in order in a bit, but will that be sufficient? '~'

Hi Zoe;

I have two suggestions:
1. Make an appointment with a beautician and get your eyebrows waxed and thinned out into a natural curve and then get them tinted. I suggest tint your hair colour as I think they are too dark and straggly to pass
2. Get your eyelashes tinted - probably brown as well


f you want to go one further step you can get your eyeliner tattooed in , although I haven't dine that.
With nice eyebrows with a feminine curve and mascara  and a nice lipstick, it will do wonders for you.

One thing that really does help is get your Colour Analysis done so that you pick the best colours to match your skin colours.

Hugs
Judith

Zoe, I wouldn't listen to your friend because I think you already look quite feminine! Your face in nice and rounded and your pudge is too cute!! I looove pudgeee! I agree with the girlie above, if you got your eyebrows done it would make a world of difference. Also, once you start styling your hair, it will look a lot more fem. I think bangs would be super cute on you. Your smile is so pretty, too!

Aside from some 5 o clock shadow, and maybe the bottom of your chin, you look very womanly.

Since hrt should add fat on your face, i think you will do just nicely, in fact i think there would be no need for ffs

You look cute already. Hormones will probably improve on this, but I don't anticipate that you would have much of a problem passing even beforehand.

Well, I think you could certainly pass once you've taken care of your facial hair and hormones. Let me say that you have a very smooth forehead, and a high, though feminine, hairline. Your nose doesn't seem problematic either. Your upper face is really quite good, though it's a shame that you made it do an unhappy expression. I don't see much in the way of problems for you. Just the facial hair and hormones thing. Some make-up would really up the pizazz, too.

Without the beard shadow, you look fairly feminine-androgynous.

Lol I know, Bad expression.
Mostly just tired, suffering a bit of insomnia tonight.

I was considering taking a picture more femmed up, but wanted an honest opinion of where I stand.

The facial hair is definitely something I plan on starting the removal of very quickly.

Thank you for your response.

I'm less of an insomniac and more of an anxious, nervous wreck. Only at night, of course, because of the extra dose of paranoia and morbidity it gives. 

Therefore, I naturally lean towards being nocturnal. However, because being nocturnal is totally impractical, I continually try to get onto a diurnal schedule. So the result is that some nights I sleep, some I don't, either way I need to be totally exhausted in order to do so.

But yes, you'll do fine. Looking forward to those new pictures. :P

Hi everyone,

I took my profile picture about 2 months ago, so at that time I was only on hormones for about 7 weeks, but I wanted to try and be brave and take a step forward to going full time. I was wondering how well or how close to passing I am as a female based on my profile picture. If you have any suggestions or advice at all I could definitely use it and would really appreciate it. I've been practicing makeup all the time and acting more feminine and I have been improving in general I think. So please feel free to give me any advice at all, even if you don't think I pass at all.

Thank you so much!,

Love,

Emma

From the profile pic you look pretty feminine for someone who has only had seven weeks HRT. HRT takes time. Even in the best of circumstances 6-8 months of HRT would be a better "test".  Even then, it can take up to 2 + years for the full effect. Although going full time sooner than later may be tempting, waiting 6-8 months more will make things easier. Unless there is some reason to rush into full time, waiting to let the HRT do its thing will be better for you!

Do you use a photo site like photobucket or is it on your hard drive? If its a photo sharing site right click on your mouse and select  "copy image link" . Then go to a post in this thread and right click your mouse. This time select paste image location. This should provide a link to open up the full pic.

Also, keep in mind that how you present in live situations can have a much greater impact on how people perceive you.

From the pic, you look fine to me. Work on voice and other aspects of your presentation if you aren't doing so already. Something I've been doing for a long time, off and on, is to spend a day or so looking at presumed women in the real world (avoid holding yourself to the photoshopped standards of magazines or other still photos).  When you look at ALL the women you meet day to day, rather than just those whose lucky genes or access to professional shoppers gives them an added boost, you'll start to realize that the range of female appearance is pretty wide, and start to think more about how to be the woman you want to be, given what you have to work with.

Also keep in mind that plastic surgeons can't buy their cars and houses if they don't work on our insecurities -- and by "our" I'm referring to almost anyone who identifies as female, and more than a few men as well.  If it's something that you really do want, and can find a way to get it, go for it, but don't expect it will really eliminate the inner sources of insecurity. Learn to act confident, and at least some measure of real confidence is likely to follow.

I'm using a picture from my hard drive since I took the picture using my webcam initially. Should I look into the program photo bucket? I really have no idea, since like I said I'm bad with technology lol. Thanks
<3

Photobucket is a hosting site, not really a "program." You upload the image from your machine or device to that site, and can get an image link from there to include in your posts. You can also use any other hosting site that doesn't restrict such links... if you have a Google account, you get a fairly large storage space for images as part of that. Just take care to do what you feel is necessary to preserve your privacy, if there is any concern people might use the images against you in some way.

There are many hosting services out there to choose from.

Your face is rather round. That's a plus. You have a very high hairline, and your eyebrows sit rather close to your eyes... so those are a couple things that you may want to address. Your skin doesn't look as smooth as it could be, but that is often remedied by hormones.

You don't pass yet (imo), but hormones might bring you there by themselves. Profile shots would be helpful, as would higher-quality pictures, in determining your current passability and speculating on your future passability.

Thank you, Kelly.

I may lose some of the roundness following my bariatric surgery, that's definitely a concern.

I wear glasses which I had taken off for that pic so I was squinting which I imagine adds to the look of my brow.

I do have bad skin, a side effect of a congenital immune deficiency that leaves me with almost constant acne. :(

It's funny, I get called ma'am everywhere I go, all the time. A friend of mine didn't believe me until we went out one day and it happened a dozen times. From the waiter asking if "he can get anything for you ladies?" to store clerks saying "let me know if I can help you ladies with anything." I guess that gives me hope for the future.

To clarify, I can only write about whether I think you pass or not based on my own perspective. It's great that you pass in your community, and this is the flaw of "Do/Could I Pass" threads on TG forums: That we are usually harsher on each other because we are very knowledgeable about what to look for, and furthermore, because we do, at times, see the male or female form in a more ideal light than is realistic.

I suppose you already had your answer, though, eh? Passing in real life is a whole different ballgame than passing in pictures - especially when those pictures are being presented to nitpickers.

Happy for your success.

So at the risk of making you take back your compliments  :D and in the interest of fairness I'll post the others up

You've got naturally cute eyes.  A bit if a brow ridge, but thinning the brows from below will lessen the impact.

http://s1282.beta.photobucket.com/user/omicron1231/library/ (http://s1282.beta.photobucket.com/user/omicron1231/library/)

Today is, God willing, t-minus 7 for the beginning of HRT. I've had a month and change of electrolysis work done, and have been growing my hair out for about a year. Haven't done much with styling or clothing yet. This is very much "me as I am day to day." One of the two friends I have confided in expressed skepticism that I would ever be female enough to pass, so in a fit of worry I came here.

So, two questions: Will my general 6'-even, looks-pudgy-at-180lb build be passable in time? And, what about the face? I assume FFS will be in order in a bit, but will that be sufficient? '~'

You've got a good starting point.

It looks pretty much like the last one you posted.  Webcam shots just aren't good quality, and a 3/4th view would help.

Sorry I didn't get to this topic sooner.   You can see my series of catch-up posts.

If I am not mistaken, last time I noted a clear androgeny in your photo image.  A blend of female and male characteristics.

You will probably benefit from some of the more common FFS procedures.

Look at the link in Sarah7's post in this topic, second post.

@Wynternight
I am out and about a lot and I understand why people think you are a woman in real life: because you totally look like one. You look exactly like lots of women look here in my neck of the woods, the Heartland, that is.

What's been said about high forehead, not the best skin, unglamourous hair, etc is all somewhat true, but that is also somewhat true of a lot of women.

Honestly, you are one of the best "passers" on the forum. You look natural. People would not cast a second glance at you. Others here would look more glamorous, but people would look at them twice and see they are not cis-women.

When I see your avatar I see a woman. One I would see at Mickey D's, Walmart, Fred Meyer's, etc.

Make sense?

Also I just got out of catholic school so my hair is still short, I didnt fix up my eye brows either and my skins in bad condition so bare with it!

Also the pictures make my hair line look weird!

Pictures Removed ( not into having my image on the net forever)

Enjoy a good laugh from them :P (Also my 3 months HRT pics are in the old thread around pages 41-43 for reference on how HRT effected my face)

Aside from the weight changes, all the shifts shown are purely cosmetic at this point. Hopefully I'll be finding a way to pay for the care associated with getting HRT sooner rather than later.  Thanks for the ego boost, though!  The one advantage of the most recent pic is I'm a better photographer than I was 18 years ago, and the lens in that last pic is almost ideal for portraiture. I shot at least 40 frames (including other wigs and my own hair) to get to that one, while the other photos were snapshots taken by my ex.

My avatar is not a photo. It is cropped from a digital oil painting I did awhile back, based on a still of Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf in the movie, The Hours.  Back story being that maybe 10 years ago someone did (almost certainly with ulterior motives) compare me favorably to Kidman, and I am a bit fan of Virginia Woolf and the whole Bloomsbury crowd... kind of ties into my past as an English major, and a remembrance of my advisor and mentor from that time.

The eyebrows are one obstacle, yes. A smile would help, too, as would opening your eyes a little more. Make-up can help in opening up your eyes, but it's something you can do, too, by simply not being tired. Your beard shadow is also a bit apparent, so laser is another thing you might want to do in time.

Those things and HRT should let you pass reasonably well. FFS may enhance your appearance, but I can't really say whether it would be advisable or not from the single angle I have to look at. Based on this picture, the only thing I could see that you may do is chin work, and maybe an upper lip lift. You look very feminine, and you should feel lucky to be where you are before hormones.

Hi Shelby,

You look both at the very beginning *and* very nice. You have a very nice, feminine starting point.

I personally think there is absolutely nothing wrong with your chin: it looks nice, soft and feminine.

Laser off the five o'clock shadow and you are two thirds there. Get your eyebrows done and you are 100% there.

You are so naturally pretty that after those two things are done, you won't even need make-up. Honest.

My avatar picture is four months ago pre-everything, and no make-up: as you can see my chin is way worse than yours.

You are lucky: you are off to a very good starting point.

Good luck,
Andrea

If you start plucking or better yet get them professionally done, you'll see a huge difference. You have nice features, you're going to look great.
All the advice I got on here has been great. If you're doing something wrong, people will tell you. I've made some makeup and fashion mistakes and learned from them by posting here. Welcome!

Would love some comments as to my pass-ability down the line. This pic is me now, pre everything, with a minimum of make-up, just a eye liner, shadow, little mascara. And oh yeah, my facial hair sucks. I can't get rid of the shadow entirely because my skin is too soft for razors against the grain, I just end up drawing blood. 2nd laser session in a week yay!

I really think something as simple as waiting for your hair to grow longer will have a dramatic effect on your face.

And are you out at work?  I don't know if the last pic is supposed to be guy mode, but it does look very androgynous to me at the moment, if it's supposed to be.  Lookin' good 'Starbuck!'  ;)

There is a lot of hope for you: especially in the work pic, believe it or not, I see a typical Swedish woman.

Why do you have doubts? Of course, do get rid of your facial hair, but that's about it.

The company that I work for knows, I have told them. But not all the other pilots know about me.


I am not really sure when to tell the rest. I was thinking that it would work out for another year before coming out to all of them.


Regarding the last picture yes it is me in boymode, I even let my facial hair grow just to erase any strange looks from the security people etc.


My facial hair bugs me yes =/. And its even just about 30%left from what I had before :O, I had a very thick beard :(. I hope to get rid of the shadow before next winter.



I have doubts because I know that I have some very masculine markers like my damn nose inherited from my mother =/, also my browridge needs to go. But I was hoping to get away with just those procedures and now it feels like that wont be enough?




Oooops I forgot to add a picture of me in girliemode or what to call it? at least its a try :P.

Once again, I strongly believe it is all in your head, Carolina, I don't think any of your features are particularly masculine. You do look very Swedish, but that's not bad, right?

You have very nice skin and hair.

On photobucket there should be a box to the right of the picture you are looking at called "image links" with 4 options.

The bottom one is called "IMG Code" if you copy paste that line here it will post a picture. With the link and IMG tags for you.

---

Or you can right click on a picture and choose "copy link location". Pasting that here will put a link we can follow or you can put the image tags in yourself around it. Image tags look like this:

Well now I just see a pretty girl here!  Though I hear you when it comes to some of the masculine features.  I have my family's trademark nose...not exactly feminine (hard to see in my avatar).  Not sure if this helps you, but I try to spin situations like that to take pride in family features; when I look to my sister, she's beautiful with the same family trait.

It's so easy to be self-conscious of being tall- like MaidOfOrleans, I'm 5'9", and taller than the 5 guys I live with.  But then I remember one of my coworkers is 6'3" (with a brow-ridge), used to be a model, and is a total knockout.  Just try not to fixate on a little thing like that.  8)

@Valkyrie

Other than the height though it is hard to say. Being tall can be annoying but as others have said it is not the end of the world.

You should try some stuff to look better though. I can say I have seen some crazy transformations on this site though (I sure lurked long enough). Looking in the mirror it can seem impossible that you will ever look how you want to but really, have a look around. There are some amazing before and after pictures if you search them out you will hardly believe your eyes.

Either way nothing is going to happen by magic. You gotta experiment.

Well, here goes.  I said I'd post something, so be honest and let me have the barded arrows.  I don't have a lot to work with at my age, but the challange is going to be great fun.  At least my wife and sister in law said I have a lot of my mothers features.  So the only difference over the years is that I had red hair at 30 and gray now.   :D

Dear All,

I read this thread since many months. I am currently not sure about myself and I will maybe make the decision to start transition this year. Currently I do not take hormones and I never hat a surgery. I have to wear a wig as a woman. I think about a surgery to lower my hairline which currently looks not good.

Before makeup:

After makeup (I still have to learn and I have to gain experience. I was out as a woman only 6 times until now).

What do you think? Do I ever have a chance to pass as a woman? My largest concern is that I am not recognized as a woman in public and therefor I do not got out often which makes my very sad.

Kind regards,

I'm going to see the sylist that my wife uses.  She's real good with thin hair and may be able to do something with a wig or extension for bangs.  Need to cover the bald forehead, and I'll just color to match.  I have a couple others photos I took after waking up a little little more.  But I;ll only post one.

Hi Sam!
      You look nice enough, I don't think I'm as qualified to make any real good assessments about you as others would be, other than the fact you have a good shaped face for a FFS with a potentially successful outcome. I think any good FFS specialist can turn some of the most masculine features around. Don't get impatient, I'm sure someone who is more knowledgeable about FFS will give you a better idea of what might be done.

Yes you have a nice face and your jawline lends itself to the direction you are going, I told Sam I am not qualified to make any good assessments but you will probably want to have some FFS perhaps the other women will have something more constructive to say.

Paigeme id say you pass already. I'm about at the same stage as you with my voice and hair and only a month ahead on hormones.

For fashion id say start with some basics and find what you like. Things like camis and shirts generally are easy to fit so can be ordered if you aren't up to going out shopping yet. I had to measure myself to order my jeans when I first started and luckily I got my size one the first try.

I always suggest to those new to transition, to look at the "before and after" topics.

A lot can happen with hormones to the face and body.  Unless you were the GEICO caveman, I would never say that you have no chance.  Even then, FFS can re-make you.

Laser is a good start.  And you don't have strongly masculine facial features.

I finally decided to post a couple of pictures of me on this thread. I'm 28 and I'm pre-everything (except for a couple of laser sessions). In these pictures i'm not wearing any makeup.
I'd love to read your thoughts... do you think hormones will do the trick?

Hormones should help, but attitude and smiling more might do the trick on their own.  Though electrolysis would probably help a lot too.

Also, a more feminine hairstyle could do wonders.  I love the curls, but it's a little raggedy to be taken as girlish in its current state. Also, thinning the brows will help.  I'm kind of hesitant to post here, though... since part of me tends to think "passing" is overemphasized, and so much does come down to how you present yourself in the real world, rather than 2-dimensional photos. I think just about anyone can find a look that works for them, and reduces the chances of misgenderings... and looking at transition videos showing people at various stages, I've seen before pics of transwomen I'd have never guessed would look so wonderful after a year or so on 'mones.

My avatar is not a photo. It is cropped from a digital oil painting I did awhile back, based on a still of Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf in the movie, The Hours.  Back story being that maybe 10 years ago someone did (almost certainly with ulterior motives) compare me favorably to Kidman, and I am a bit fan of Virginia Woolf and the whole Bloomsbury crowd... kind of ties into my past as an English major, and a remembrance of my advisor and mentor from that time.

My hair and the attitude... well, just got out of bed in these pictures lol but I agree... attitude and how you present make the difference; hard to notice in a still picture.

I don't have much experience calling these things out, but Alex_K I think you are gonna look great

With hormones your neck will shrink which makes a big difference, and a little bit of eyebrow feminization could go a long way. Also if you open your eyes a little more I think it will bring out the natural femininity in your face :D

Cheers to laser hair removal!

You both have very feminine faces and and if you two need FFS, then 75% of all Cis women do as well.

Thank you very much for your kind words and thank everyone else here.

She's just being jealous, I'd bet that you are the prettier of you two. It's a typical reaction from a sis who sees her brother is as pretty and feminine if not more so than she herself is. Kinda catty stuff don't you think? Don't let her negative comments deter you!

Double post  :o

So I got some pics up from a couple days ago. I will only be leaving them up for a few hours. I would love some feedback, and don't be nice. I need honesty not manners.

I do hate photos though, always have. I always end up looking dumb. Anyway I plan to get a haircut soonish, maybe something involving bangs or a side fringe. I will ask my hairdresser what she thinks. Wanna lose the giant forehead :P

Personally, I think your hair is too straight, some body would help make your face look rounder. I rarely think anyone looks good with hair that straight. As for your face, hard to tell, an overhead light like that just seems to put so much of it in shadow and makes you look more gaunt than what you really are. If you are thin, and it appears you are, some weight would help round out your features a bit too. I've had the same issue and I looked far better in the face when I was about 15 pounds heavier than what I am now.

And smile!  I think it would look better than just standing being all stoical like.

Yea my hair just grows that way, I would love to have curly hair but I do not. The lighting does suck too but your right I am very thin, I have a really fast metabolism. I will try to eat more pies.
Also I try smiling for photos sometimes, it doesn't work very well. I only ever look good in a photo if I do not know I am being photographed D:

I will try a daylight photo sometimes though, I think it would look better. All the lights in this house are horrible.

Yep all I do to my hair is wash and blow dry it once or twice a week. Sometimes hairspray it back a bit so it stays out my face.
And FYI I am pre-everything except make-up.

I would really appreciate any more feedback or tips on what to improve or work on, since I am taking these pictures down in a few hours!

Given your slim build and reasonably delicate features, I'd expect HRT to have pretty fantastic effects. I'm with others in feeling that long straight hair rarely does us (or most women) great favors, but the fact that your pics already are sending a pretty feminine image with such straight hair can only be a good sign in terms of the subject heading of this thread. With the added impact of HRT, I could see you being able to stick to that look if it's the one you love.

What I take away from others comments is the general impression (and current tendency) to go for more curl, body, layering and variety of shape that tends to be the main trend in women's hairstyles at present. These things always go in waves... next year your style could be on the covers of Vogue, Elle and/or Glamour.

Cool, thanks. That makes me feel pretty good :)

But I am not majorly big on the look! It is just how my hair grows really. All I have done is brush it a bit fancier :P
As I said I hope to get a new hairstyle soon and I expect this will help my style a lot, I really want my hair to be bigger, when I was a teenager if I did not tie it back it was like lions mane massive. It has shrunk a lot since then though. Thanks a bunch for the feedback.

This too may change, hopefully, with hormone changes. Glad to hear you're not too attached to it, but it is fine hair. I often envied those whose hair was straighter. Had a few comments at times about lion's manes myself, with sort of mixed feelings on the implied gender message, but compensated, since it was also usually the cause whenever someone would call me Ma'am.

Hi, Anisha.  In the top two pictures it appears you have a beard and moustache shadow.  That would be a good place to start cosmetic changes (laser and/or electrolysis).  That directly affects "passibility."

Well, when someone who is pre-everything asks if they could pass, I just say go look at the before and after topic in this forum.

And remember, "passing" can also be culturally subjective.  The idea of what is considered feminine varies.

The topic in this thread is "could I pass one day," not "do I pass now." The answer to that is generally yes, even for those with more masculine features than yours.

What you've done so far resembles a common look for many women today, and the effects of hair removal, and HRT can be quite amazing, especially for someone not too far out from puberty, and you appear to be quite young still. I've posted my general reservations before on the subject of "passing" and the concept is getting a lot more attention lately in trans communities. But in this context, I don't see any reason why most people would question your gender (as being anything but female) once you've gotten further along, maybe even once the beard shadow is less obvious, or you find better ways of masking it until you've had some hair removal done.

The outfit is fairly common as a daytime, casual look, and your presentation isn't actively drawing attention to yourself apart from emphasizing those of your features that are already readable as feminine or at least androgynous. You're also blessed with a nicely rounded face that has relatively few of the sharper features and contours that are often interpreted as male (even though these are features than many cis women have in their own faces).

Personally, I'd avoid drawing attention to my midriff until HRT has had a chance to reshape my body, but for you it's not as distracting as it would be for many of us. Just not a feature I'd want to emphasize myself until I felt more secure. That's probably my problem, not yours.

Well...I'm pre-everything at this point. I feel like the contours of my forehead give me away, which is hard to see in this lighting, along with other features I can not point out. My cheeks are full enough either.

Would HRT help at all with this (makeup of course would help too)? Or am I candidate for FFS?

you're the "cute femme" type of guy, with a babyface and pretty skin.
i think hormones will work gr8 on your face.

just remember hormones can't really change your forehead.
it will make your skin look softer overall but male brow bossing will still be there.

same with nose, jaw, and chin. (the last 2 can look different if you have fat for redistribution)

Yeah I've been worried about my brow too, I use my haircut to disguise it. The guy I like tells me it isn't bad at all, but I can't help but feel weird about it.
I don't know, it's hard to say for sure, but hormones change your looks a bit over time, you could certainly look softer, and makeup could help of course.
You won't really know until you are on hormones for months.

Very nice progress for three months. I can see the real you coming through, with more to come. Three months is a very awkward stage, but it seems to be where the first hints really start to become obvious.  And you look happy.

Well...I'm pre-everything at this point. I feel like the contours of my forehead give me away, which is hard to see in this lighting, along with other features I can not point out. My cheeks are full enough either.

Would HRT help at all with this (makeup of course would help too)? Or am I candidate for FFS?



I think many people are candidates for FFS. Including many cis females. That said, some cis females I know bear "more masculine" features than others.

When I started transition, two years ago, I thought I was very, very far, far from becoming something and I would need FFS and everything just to "hint" people a female-ish face. (I've posted photos in this thread)

And the changes came. Subtle they were, all right, but all the redistribution and our body being reconstructed really happened, something unfathomable before. It's just because we don't know how we'll become after starting, say, HRT (some people change their minds and somehow the body really morphs). So in some of my descriptions for profiles I also say "believer". Now I believe :)) But I may be just lucky, I changed a lot from HRT.

That said, yes, as you asked, HRT will help. And about some makeup, did you try? I didn't try makeup for more than a year and a half and now I regret it, because light (light!!!) makeup may give you a better idea if your skin were softer, if your lip-to-skin contrast was higher, and... The eyes. The eyes make a BIG difference when doing makeup.

(and sorry for being too verbose, I am just very happy today) :D

This probably isn't what you're hoping to hear, but you look a bit like David Tennant.
Can I ask you to take another photo when you've added an inch or so of hair? Maybe wearing a brown greatcoat and a crazy grin? [/crush]

I would rather know how difficult it will be for me, than have a compliment. I don't really need a confidence boost so much as a reality check! :-) Thanks in advance :-)

I'm no expert but..

You have a very feminine profile to your body, arms, legs and torso all well proportioned. So that helps a lot.

I don't see any really prominant masculine features in your face, but I can't really see your brow ridge well but it doesn't look too bad.

True, the lighting isn't real great but you do seem to have some rather feminine features to start with  :)  I think you will do well, have you discussed an HRT program with your doctor yet?

I have my next appointment with the gender therapist the 1st of February. It's my second visit, but I've been told that here in Spain generally they skip fast to the hormones if they see it necessary. Looking forward to it :-)

Everyone at the party was really nice and there were a couple other trans people there.

First time out in public en femme in almost 5 years, and that was for a drag ball!
I didn't even know I was trans at the time.

I'm still not certain if I'm MtF, but I thought it would be fun to go out like this and see how it feels.

You look good to me :)
I almost had my first club/rave experience a couple days ago, and an almost-other experience with something else i can't say on here. xD
Sadly, my friend's tummy was hurting :P
and i didn't trust being alone with the guy that invited us.
I'm glad you had fun!

V good. Bit of work and you would look good to me :-)

I went out in my heels makeup and stuff to the shopping mall yesterday with the family. Was good. I was less nervous than I thought I would be, but still quite self conscious at points. I wasn't trying to pass, as I can't, but I figure, if I can go out when I am obviously trans, then if I can get closer to passing, it's all win. :-)

Raves are good. People are friendly. :-)

Sorry 'bout the smudges/phone-level photo.

In general, do you think my frame (pelvis is doing most of the obvious pudge down there; it's about half an inch in on the sides) will pass muster down the road? Also: Rhinoplasty - yes?

Hrm! I think the only "masculine" feature is the nose, but it will likely soften a bit with HRT (not much, but probably you'll be fine without rhinoplasty). *I* need rhinoplasty :)

And removing facial hair makes a big difference! Do not worry :)

Well, when someone who is pre-everything asks if they could pass, I just say go look at the before and after topic in this forum.

And remember, "passing" can also be culturally subjective.  The idea of what is considered feminine varies.

Alright I found a way to get a link of the picture larger and hopefully clear enough. What do you think so far? This isn't very far into hormones. Thank you for anything advice or criticism and I know the picture isn't great because I took it with my webcam haha.

That's understandable. I almost think you would pass more without the wig, though. :P

I'm in the same situation, it sucks :(

But I think you are quite passable already, nothing stands out as too masculine to me.

I have posted on this thread when I first joined in makeup and a wig and got pretty good feedback (thanks). I would now like your honest opinions on what you think makes my face masculine please?

I haven't come out except on Susan's, but if you read my post on the introductions thread, I have finally come to terms with who I am and am at the "nothin's gonna stop me from achieving this/time to start planning stage".

Harsh but constructive as needed please peeps, I am pretty level headed and I need the truth so I can plan HRT, FFS etc!

Hi Bex!

I think you should be fine once you begin hrt and electrolysis/ laser. You don't have any harsh features, and I don't see anything in your profile that screams 'male,' except maybe your hairline.

I think you'll do well, and you clean up nicely (from what I've seen in your older posts).  :)

2 pics in girl mode on  ^-^. Pre-everything, 28 years old. A bit of make up there; the lighting of my room + the crappy camera of my phone don't help very much.

Bex: I don't think you'll need FFS. You've got quite a feminine face already. Hair's your challenge -- your beard and the thick hairs at the back of your neck give you away.

I think I'm trying to a "worst quality picture" award of some kind here. The only camera I got is a crappy webcam, which I need to hold in my hand, and very still to take a not blurry picture with a amazing 640x480 resolution. So I can't even take a blooming full body picture which is sad because I really like the way me body looks. Anyho, been on HRT for 7 or 8 months now, been noticing major differences in the rest of my body, but I have no idea about me face. I got the problem that whenever I look at myself in the mirror I see myself, me, Sarah, this is the way I look, only I never been able to decide if I look male, female, androgyne, whatever.

Lord, I'm alot more nervous then I thought I would be about this. I don't like me hair and want to do something about it, only I haven't decided on what.

I think Your face looks good! But you should start growing out your hair soon and some facial hair removal. but other than that I think you should do just fine.

Immature question I know......I'm 42 MTF and trying to decide if I should start hormones and transition. I am financially OK and have a supportive wife. BUT, I'm 6'0" tall and large frame, size 12 mens shoes size.......you get the point.

I there anyone out there that has also been a "Big Girl" and transitioned successfully???  I don't know if transitioning and feeling like an odd looking outcast would be less painful than living with GID as an OK looking guy.  Dont get me wrong, I hate looking like a man but at least now I don't fight with social acceptance right now as the world leaves me alone living as a man currently.

Help.

I'm still in the midst of transition, 6'2" with size 12 shoe and started to seriously undertake transitioning about 5yrs ago and I get a mixture of reactions from various people

Some are accepting, others are not, some are confused and some don't even question

Sometimes folks make comments... Amazon woman, Viking woman, big lady, Tall drink of water etc. Sometimes folks make various rude comments as well but I try to not let it bother me

It may not be a walk in the park but it is possible  :)

Your face is much more delicate and small now. All that's left is to grow out your hair and learn to use makeup :) I'd be surprised if you aren't able to pass one day.

Need some opinions here.

Top Pic: This is how I usually look these days (I took it today), a little less goth than I used to. I'm 19, been on HRT for 3 months now.

Bottom Pic: Full body picture right after I started HRT. My more "goth" look. And yes, I know my dorm room is messy, haha.

Lydia, you look like one of my daughters.  And your room looks like her dorm room too!  ;)

Lydia -  very good and agree with the others.

Kayla,  wow big change.  Also very good. Get some new glasses that would better suite your new face shape?

Lydia, my first thought was "what a beautiful girl". I don't think you've got anything to worry about regarding passing. You're doubtless going to just look better and even more feminine after being on HRT longer. Do check in with us later.

That would be the "The official "You look fabulous darling" thread. 2". The Admins spun off a sequel thread after the first one reached 145 pages. I agree with Rachel that you belong there.

This pic is a few days ago, lost about 60 pounds since first pic and started HRT. I think the unstyled hair makes me look more guyish but, not trying to trans till my car is paid off in may.

It's been a while since I posted here. 8 months estrogen patch and spiro. These pictures are purposely not too flattering, and that's pretty much how I look day to day. Thoughts?

Cold winter and hiding in winter clothes makes it easier to pass. But my main concern is my big jaw, chin and nose. Will HRT work on me to make me passable even when I'm not hiding in thick winter clothes?

Well, right now you remind me of a peanut. A female peanut, though. Nothing in that image really says "Guy."

11 weeks in on the girl juice. I actually am really happy with where I am right now, but let's see what everyone else thinks; for now and the future. Primarily the latter, since I know I'm not there quite yet, but I can feel and see my body starting to break out into its intended state:

First and second images are from about 20 minutes ago, third from about a week and a half ago, if I had to guess.

No makeup, photoshop, wigs, or anything else added to the picture, just natural looks, aside from the whiting out of face from a painting of a person who did not exist. As always, please do not quote the images, but I never mind if you quote other parts of my post. :)

I am out and about a lot and I understand why people think you are a woman in real life: because you totally look like one. You look exactly like lots of women look here in my neck of the woods, the Heartland, that is.

What's been said about high forehead, not the best skin, unglamourous hair, etc is all somewhat true, but that is also somewhat true of a lot of women.

Honestly, you are one of the best "passers" on the forum. You look natural. People would not cast a second glance at you. Others here would look more glamorous, but people would look at them twice and see they are not cis-women.

When I see your avatar I see a woman. One I would see at Mickey D's, Walmart, Fred Meyer's, etc.

Make sense?

Andrea

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

Funny story (for me at least): I spent a few days in Anchorage two weeks ago and whilst there I had a mani/pedi done and the lady kept asking me if I wanted any color on my nails. I told her no several times so she put the clear polish on. When it was time to pay I handed her my credit card and she was surprised at my name. I found that rather gratifying.

The next day I got my hair dyed a very deep purple. almost black, and had two brighter purple lumens put on either side and also had two new piercings done in my ears so now I have two hoops in each. As I was leaving the hotel to move my car so I could load it, there was a woman standing there who kept staring at me. I had my hair down and pushed behind my ears so I know she was trying to figure out what I am. I came back out to the lobby with my suitcases on one of the luggage carts and there was a man with her, her hubby, I assume, who looked at me and asked if I needed help with my luggage. I'm thinking she said something to him and he was asking so he could hear my voice and answer the gender question.  ;D

Sadly Alaska's not the most friendly LGBT state but I love it here and don't want to go anywhere else.

Hi,

So I still have a LONG way to go obviously but do you see any difference from way before I started hormones to the time I started taking them and then now 4 months later? All of them are in "boy mode".


Before: (Sorry it's kind of a crappy picture, didn't really take pictures before.) I think this was Fall 2010

Start of hormones:

Now: (4 months later)

@Wynternight,

Nice progression in appearance and accessories. Two interesting experiences in your time in Anchorage.

My wife & I had several days in Alaska adding a land package at the end of a 7 day Holland America boat cruise. Bused to Denali for two nights and toured the National Park. Took the train back to Anchorage for an overnight before flying back to Vancouver. In Skagway we took a day tour by bus up to the Yukon and train back to Skagway. We loved our experience & vistas, the majestic powerful mountain scenes...awesome! Would love to some day drive up through our western provinces to the Yukon & Alaska.

If you don't mind me asking, where about do you live in Alaska?

Hi Jamie, I live in Barrow, on the North Slope, right on the edge of the Arctic. My apartment overlooks the ocean. It's very flat here, and well above the tree line. I miss the mountains and forests south of me so I get out of here for a few days every few months.

@Wynternight,

Wow, stunning, you are at the Arctic Ocean! I just looked up info for Barrow and it is -27 F. Are you just starting to get sunlight there yet? In May we couldn't get over that we saw sunlight 24 hours of the day. You mentioned getting into your car at the hotel in Anchorage. Are there roads as far as Barrow or do you have to fly? I have seen a couple of documentaries and video of Barrow and Prudoe Bay. In the Yukon I think the only way to get to the Arctic Shore is in winter on a plowed path on frozen ice and snow covered. Otherwise you have to fly to the communities. The coldest I have experienced once many years ago in Calgary overnight was -40 F.

Ok so I put myself out there in the other thread so I thought I should repay the favour over here.  I'm not exactly MtF, but I would like to be able to present as female eventually if I so chose.  I''ve got to work on mannerism's etc, but I've got walking down as long as I'm in heels.

This is probably my second concerted attempt at "girl-mode" me (on one of my days off a few months ago).  I sat down after raiding my SO's stuff and doing myself up, because of my glasses it's tough for me, I'm not used to doing it by feel alone.  Just me and makeup.  The wig is one of the cheap ones you get for halloween, I REALLY need a better one closer to my natural colour (red/copper)...

I'm grateful for 3 things:  my SO and I are about the same size, skin tone, and hair-colour.

I have since lost about 25 to 30 pounds. Still want to drop another 15 or so.
I have just started HRT so in time do you think I will pass?

Sorry about the rather lame photo quality.

I never really thought of myself as looking like what people would generally consider 'masculine', but then, I'm not so sure nowadays...

Well, you posted the older one on Christmas.  Looking at both photos I'd say you already have some soft features and an engaging smile.  What features about yourself do you think you would like to change?

Put my hair back and doing some cleaning today...

I am almost 2.5 months on hormones... Trachea shave scheduled in 8 days with Dr O!!

I know I need to get some new glasses :D

Think I'll pass without FFS?

Anyhow, here's me, making no attempt at all to look feminine:


You look a LOT like a female coworker I used to work with. There is a striking resemblance!

Spend a few years on feminizing HRT and you'll look plenty girly honey, trust me on this. You might have a brow bossing situation but it's hard to tell with your hair hanging in your face, you'll want to get it styled eventually. I would only have suggested the tracheal shave as a must, but you beat me to it. That's the only thing that I can see holding you back at this time. Great smile on your avatar photo, do that more often, it's absolutely charming and adds a lot of face value to your presentation overall and try to skip the glowering looks, that's a latent guy thing you want to get past.

Thanks for the comments Shantel :D

I'm sure some smiley photos will happen once the tracheal stuff is taken care of. I normally smile all the time, but it always looks weird to me if I pretend to smile! I will work on that for next time.

As for the brow bossing, yeah I wonder about it from time to time and I'm not surprised you mentioned it. But really I don't think it's that intense usually, could just be the lighting.

I'm glad to hear you think I'll look plenty girly with enough time spent on HRT. Kind of exactly what I was hoping to hear. I really want to pass! To get there without FFS would be amazing, although I can afford it and I'm not afraid to do it if I need to. Would just be nice to use what I already have :)

Once again. you look just great as you are. If brow bossing was any kind of issue it sure wouldn't be if you wore your hair as it is in your avatar photo. Not a big deal then huh?

Hullo, long time lurker first time poster; Jennygirl, with the way your eyes light up as well as your smile from your avatar you are just such a beautiful girl. If I had your hair and delicate face I think I would go with bangs, they just make your face go pop! Give those hormones a few more months and they'll turn "Could I Pass One Day" into blowing up "You look fabulous darling" with compliments. You will totally pass without FFS! ;)

Okay, so I also just posted this picture over in the "before and after" thread, but that was mainly to show HRT progress so far, while here I'm hoping for some genuine advice.

So, here's my most-current "boy mode" picture. Do you all think that I have a chance of passing one day, or do you think I'm going to need FFS? (I'm mainly worried about my eyebrow ridge and my big Italian nose, but I'm a HUGE self-critic, so I really don't know.)

All right, feminization experts, fire away! What are my chances of looking like a girl naturally with just hormones?

Not an expert, but just wanted to comment, that it is very strange what hormones actually do even in 1 month, as there is definitely something feminine in your face, but I just cannot tell what it is. I've noticed the same thing with other people too, who are on early stages of HRT, there is definitely something feminine in the face, but I can't say what it is.

Perhaps it's the lighter skin, which makes such a huge difference.

Laser will work well on you having dark hairs, wish it worked on my but alas mine are blond from my Nordic ethnicity and I have to suffer electrolysis removing one hair at a time if I want to get past shaving altogether. Ugh!

I really like this photo, you look pretty!

Thanks Shantel! Am sorry though that laser might not work for you although - electrolysis would be more satisfying once all the hair goes away.

Any suggestions - if in some way I could ever go for FFS - what I would need to work on.
I guess my jaw would be something I'd love to change.

I wouldn't worry about FFS until you get a year or two of HRT behind you because it will change your face somewhat. I don't see anything wrong with your jaw, your cheeks are a bit chubby, some of that will come off on HRT and a lean sugar free diet will make the difference. In time you may wish to have your nose feminized a bit, but as you stand in your garden photo you look pretty good already. Remain focused and make a plan of what you wish to accomplish each day, it helps to drive away the dark clouds of depression and anxiety. "One cannot be optimistic if they have a misty optic!" This meaning that we need to keep focused and maintain a sense of vision and not let things become clouded by worries and tears. Wishing you the best as always!

I don't see why not.  I would suggest, though, that a single, partially obscured face-on picture, is not the best way to tell.  You might be better served by a profile and three-quarter view, as well.

Hey Puggal, maybe you could do a little something with your eyebrows and possibly adopt a more female wardrobe. If you don't want anyone to know then stay light on the plucking, but you could still get some women's pants and tops to wear around. And I don't mean buy something uber-femme, just get a nice non-descript top and some bootcut jeans. I just bought a top from Old Navy and I LOVE it. It's super comfy and might be the best shirt/top I've ever had (and it only cost $7). It's their striped Perfect crew-neck tee. It's a lil snug and kinda emphasizes the bust and narrows the shoulders, but it's not too, too femme. Try that. I think it will go a long way because you'll be wearing the clothes you want to and at the same time not putting yourself out there too much. That's what I'm doing and I'm still pre-HRT for another two weeks, sadly.

It sounds like you want stuff to help you become more feminine and attitude is a huge part of that as well, so other then that, maybe try some new music. Music is so emotional and maybe checking out some tunes from women could help you? I'm not sure if it could but it couldn't hurt. Especially if you are someday going to be hanging out with women as close friends as women rock out in their cars together (or maybe just me and my friend(s) lol). I pretty much have always listened to female artists though for whatever reason. Even in my punk days, I swerved to stuff like Siouxie and the Banshees, the Breeders and Garbage, Dresden Dolls and L7. Hope that helped and you weren't exclusively looking for facial feminization ideas. Eyebrows are everything, though. Oh yeah and smile! and adopt a more healthy outlook! You're going to turn out GREAT, if you do it. I wouldn't lie. This is at least my fourth post! Seriously, if you try a lil harder, I think you could be really pretty. If you're into that sorta thing! [Sorry everyone for the novel. eek]

You look all girl.

You cant see your hairline and as for your jaw, I like to remind girls that a square jaw isnt a masculine only trait.

Just look at Giada De Laurentiis from the food network. I think she has us all beat!

Here is a not so good picture of me, but its the most recent one I have, I am however wearing a wig due to the face my hair seems to want to take its good old time growing. This is usually moreso how I go out of the house

and here is one without wig in an attempt to do something with my real hair:

You don't have any reason to be.  The jaw is not an issue.  The hairline can be corrected.

Hi, I think this thread is very powerful and inspirational. There are so many wonderful people here.

I wanted to share a lame iPhone pic of myself. I'm pre HRT and wonder if there's hope for me. I'm very nervous, so I've never really shared pics of myself before. I would really welcome anybody's advice, critiques or comments.

Heres me at night, I 'm in the light of a lit mirror, Not the best pic but if I started HRT (im 21) could I pass one day? This is no makeup I still havent figured out how to confidently cover up my "hair-ness"

To my eye's you already pass completely, and as to your jaw, just look at celebs like Olivia Wilde, she too has a strong jawline but her femininity doesn't suffer one inch from it, as I can see your's doesn't either. So bottom line you should be very happy because you look amazing already :)

The irony is that I used to have long hair, until I was about 21 or so. The men in our family sometimes develop these bumps on our scalp that sometimes have to be surgically removed. One such developed  on the top of my head and they had to shave this huge patch to get rid of  it. They said, going in, it was just going to be a small patch, and I could probably just hide it with the rest of my hair, but by the time they were done it was pretty well coaster sized. So I just went 'screw it' and shaved it all off. I've tried growing it back (and I'm trying again) but it always gets to the point after about an inch when it just kind of frizzes out and I get what my father so lovingly called 'Bozo Locks' (after Bozo the Clown.) Fortunately my hair is finer than his, and it would calm down, but I've never had the patience to let it grow. It just became annoying and I shaved it off again.

This time I'm determined to see how I look with my own hair, but I admit that with the amount of hair loss I've got it's probably a lost cause, and I should invest in a couple of good wigs.

a better angle might help us critique and help you out, as well as give you an opinion on your "passability"

I might not be popular for it, but I try to be objective and honest as possible in my perceptions because I think that's the first step to properly addressing what needs to be done for makeup/procedures/hrt fat displacement, etc.

Natalie: Good eyes nose,  looks like a fairly flat brow.  You have a square jaw line like me but a layered whispy hair cut should reduce that. Looks good.

Wow Nathalie, you look super great! Your profile is indeed stunning. Gorgeous! WOW!

imreallyconfused-
You have soft facial features and really nice lips and eyes! But as people told me, it's always better to see the smile ;) Hormones could have a big effect for you, especially with your muscular nature. I could see your face overall changing quite a bit too with thinning of the skin and also muscle. You do have a pretty masculine chin, but I could see skin thickness playing a role in that, too. I have seen some of the most amazing transformations with muscular ppl. Also, hairline- I am very interested to see you with longer hair! Would make a big difference

Post by: Imreallyconfused on February 27, 2013, 04:58:59 AM
Thank you Jenny. Good luck with the hair growth. I'd love to have long hair, but in reality the one gene that I received from mother that I don't like is the inability to grow hair and I mean in general. I can't grow a full beard at all, I barely have any hair on my arms and legs that is visible, almost no hair on my chest and the hair on my head will probably grow only about 4 inches a year. That means its a wig for me unless by some miracle hormones would induce hair growth (not going to happen, but I can still wish for it)

I also don't really have to worry about my adams apple very much since you can't really see it anyways. I really think growing up my body couldn't decide to be male or female so I grew up with a little of both, well more female in my opinion. I got hips like you won't believe.

Looking at your profile picture I'd love to look you like right now, but I gotta start first. Don't really know how or where to start.

That means its a wig for me unless by some miracle hormones would induce hair growth (not going to happen, but I can still wish for it)

I also don't really have to worry about my adams apple very much since you can't really see it anyways. I really think growing up my body couldn't decide to be male or female so I grew up with a little of both, well more female in my opinion. I got hips like you won't believe.

Looking at your profile picture I'd love to look you like right now, but I gotta start first. Don't really know how or where to start.

I can smile better, but for some reason I feel shy. Haven't felt shy about anything in a very long time.

Melly (do you go by that, too?)

It sounds like you have some really good feminine features that you are proud of, and that will be great to help carry you through! It also seems to me that you have a really great head on your shoulders about transitioning. A really strong sense of happiness and calmness- you are special. Be proud of those hips, holy crap I've been wanting those since I was 13! Rock it!!

Your comment about my profile pic does mean a lot to me :) In the past few months I've been trying SO hard to see myself in the mirror as a woman. I've been researching, getting constructive feedback, and reading on susans a TON, reaching out to some luckily very willing friends when I need to, and continually practicing what I feel I should do until I know deep down I've reached some form of success with each attainable aspect. Then I practice more and hone until things become natural and I forget I was trying to change or learn that thing at all. It's an every day process that I've come to cherish and enjoy.

As far as the literally seeing myself as a woman thing I mentioned earlier... Honestly going full time was like having a turbo boost for the home stretch. In just the past week I think I crossed that line and I do finally see myself embodied as a woman all the time every day :D It's no longer an attempt at feeling feminine enough on the outside to properly represent what's going on inside... it just happens! Getting any sort of acknowledgement about how I look to others (or even just being properly gendered) pleasantly reminds me of all the countless hours spent so far, and really makes me appreciate what I've had to go through in order to get where I am today. I FEEL the release from all of those years wanting something so badly, deciding to do something about it, and finally now seeing the real Jenny in the mirror- and seeing other people see me too- not just feel her buried under layers of shame/fear/unrealistic rationalisations about how I thought I could go on living ignoring the itch.

I've still got work to do, but in reality everyone does with the body- CIS people, too. It's our duty to maintain our bodies and change them as we see fit. It doesn't really seem like work anymore to me though- kind of just a feeling of "steady as she goes" coupled with excitement thanks to encouragement from kind people like yourself that throw out a reminder of sorts or compliment (no matter how big/small) here or there. With the right mindset, a little can sure go a long way. I think you could have the mindset for that sort of thing, too. It's only going to help. That is for sure.

And I totally get you on the shyness factor, I was extremely shy starting out! When you find yourself, that will all change.

I look forward to seeing you break through! These are very exciting times, indeed. Good luck on your journey!!!  :icon_walk:

Thanks Jenny, you look fantastic in your avatar pic by the way. You're ahead of me in the transition process, I'm not full time.

Mellysia - I think that with your soft features and lack of facial hair you've got advantages already. If you look at the 'Before and After' threads it's always amazing to see how much potential for change there is with hrt.

I thank you both for the kind words and I look forward to seeing myself how I pictured on the inside. I got plenty of fat on me I'll be happy to give you some of it to make them hips rock :D.

QuoteMelly (do you go by that, too?)

I do indeed go by that. That's what all my gaming friends, who didn't know that I was a biological man called me when we played together.

One thing I've found myself being very good at which a lot of my friends called me feminine for is the fact that I'm really good at telling what girls should and shouldn't wear. One thing that I've noticed with the women on the forum is that problem doesn't really exist. I could tell if someone was wearing the right bra or not and guess their cup size based on what I saw or depending on the pants they wore what kind of underwear to have on to keep the flow of their figure going without any noticeable hiccups. I actually thought about going to fashion school so I could teach upcoming women whats good to be in and whats not. One thing I have learned in the past before I came out about clothes is that at first you need to look at your body type, choose clothes accordingly that would look good on you, not the hangar ;D.

I know you'll do fine with your body and feminizing is not as hard as one might think. Ya, its a hassle sometimes to learn, but it can quickly turn easy and you can make little short cuts to help yourself out. For me the only thing to learn when I start doing this is make up. Out of all things my inner woman cannot do, is make up. I can do it on paper, describe how to do it, but when it comes time for me to do it...good luck with that. I can walk in 6 inch heels all day if you want me to, but don't ask me to do your make up.

I think that's what I'll do. Since I'm quite on the shy side, getting into women's clothing would help me get out :). The one thing I am not looking forward to, though, is I have read that if having a large chest runs in the family I may end up with one too. They said look at people in your family, take the average size and subtract by 1 cup and that will be the final result for you most likely. I hope its like subtract 2 or 3 cause I don't want DDD's down the road. That is not what I imagined feature wise. ;)

You have a good underlying shape to your face that would work well with hormones. Not bad at all. A good hairline and cheek structure is there, which from what I've read can make it easy to pass. You have a round, narrow chin which would be also good when feminization takes place. I'm looking at all of your features in my head as a before and after and you made my eyes go wide. Tout lips, good nose, eyes. I would love to see what you look like down the line. ;D

This is just me right now. Decided to let you guys see what I look like. My nose is obviously crooked =]. Breaking it 2 times doesn't help.

Well, the three most common cosmetic surgeries are 1) liposuction, 2) rhinoplasty (nose job), 3) breast enhancement

You have pretty soft features starting out.  The hairline will be an issue to address.  I like your complexion and facial features.

I like your face, good features there!

Your costume brought back one of my less favorite stages I went through when I was about six. I was a real chubby kid and my mom bought me what were Bee shirts with wide stripes that went around my middle accentuating the fat bee look. All I needed was wings, two antennae and a stinger. Parents do strange things to their kids! ;D

The stripes contrast your figure in a nice finesse. They make your eyes move all around you, taking in everything about you. If you look that that not on HRT, then wow you have a perfect female form already there. Just needs some filling in and BLAM...sexy ;D

No makeup as usual, but this is with a little filter (glow on Macbook Pro, from Photobooth). With glow, I mean, I honestly, it's kind of close to makeup. Even my sisters noticed that this shot looked like "my identical female twin", which got a laugh and a smile from me. Sorry it's a bit dark, but that's sadly the nature of the filter; besides, looking more for facial feedback.

Edit: Low/medium dose of HRT, age 20, a little over a week away from 4 months HRT.

I didnt't really want to stop hormones, but I did it to do another attempt of storing sperm, so I m kinda still grieving, because it ll take some time to get the results again. But I m glad I m on hrt again, the time I was without it was just horrible.

I love love love the top your wearing Thomtom. I have one just like it except it has teeny sleeves and a crew neck. I use it as my Facebook profile and my friends called me a mime. My one friends said I looked really pretty which is odd since I was in boy mode. But i love compliments. BTW Chris29, you're going to turn out great. Your young too so you haven't been masculinized too much or at all. I haven't much either and I'm 30 but my nose is def masculinized. it sucks. JessicaN, your coming along nicely. It's hard to tell but your skin is looking real smooth and your face shape is perfect, like a heart. You do look pretty femme and will def pass someday it's hard to say if that is today because of the filter. I think plucking your eyebrows would make a big difference.

You have a really smooth face, and by smooth I mean just based on that image I don't see heavily masculine features.  Or not very obvious at least.  As you loose weight and go on HRT things will look better.  A more feminine hair style will help as well, try going to a wig shop it is a pretty good confidence booster!

Those hormones have been humming a fine tune on you, you have been holding out on us. there is a lady face under your Easter bonnet (I feel a song coming on lol). If we were to meet, me being petite, I am sure I will get an Auntie bear hug.

If you grow your hair long or get a wig it would be good to see a pic of you with make up. Glad for you you got the courage to post a pic, puts a recognizable face to a name.
hugs
Jamie

There are some things that I already know about: my hair and eyebrows are a mess right now..... also I have a big: nose/chin/face/head...... but w/e

P.S no HRT or Electrolysis, yet... First therapy apt coming soon, so *fingers crossed*

All righty, so it's been exactly a month now since I made my very first post in this topic, and I'm now officially at the 2-month mark of HRT, so I was hoping that maybe you girls would be willing to critique my progress.

Basically, still being closeted is absolutely driving me nuts, and I'm really at the point where I'm itching to go out as a girl for the first time. I really feel like I need to at least start somewhere, but I'm still completely scared stiff about it, because I know I'm still a long way from passing

So, looking for some honest critique, I decided to make a quick video so that I could see what I looked like when trying to present myself in "girl mode," and see if, based on that video, I felt like it was decent enough to at least try outside or not.

So here's the video that I made. (It's private, so I'm only showing it here because I trust everyone here to keep it as such, and I very well might just delete it once I've gotten some honest critique, because as you can probably see, I am still VERY nervous about this whole thing. But nonetheless, I really want to know.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwBPtmhrxk# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwBPtmhrxk#)

(Side note: I'm talking in the video about trying to decide whether to go out or not... well, I decided not to do it. I realized that I was too nervous, and I just didn't feel confident enough about my voice yet. [I'm whispering a bit in the video, to make sure that I don't wake my roommate up, so that didn't help, but still, yeah, I know I need to work on it.])

Nonetheless, how close am I getting? Am I at least making some decent progress toward not looking and sounding completely ridiculous? Is there hope for me looking/sounding good enough to pass some day? Does it look like the hormones are going to do enough, or will I need to look into FFS? Any suggestions, any opinions, any help whatsoever, would be GREATLY appreciated. I REALLY want to just get out there, but I don't want to build up my expectations too high.

THANKS!

-Carrie

You've got a lot of great things working for you... good cheekbones, a nice-looking hairline, (what makes you think that your hair is a "mess?" it looks nice!) you don't appear to have too much  brow bossing, and VERY nice skin, which will only get better with HRT. I'm definitely not an expert, as I'm just starting this myself, but I can definitely see that there's potential there. Although some of the individual features are rather big, there's just something about the overall shape that I can see becoming feminine. I don't know. That's what I see at least. Perhaps someone with more experience can go more into depth.

Veronica-

First off hey I used to have exactly the same iphone case, same color and everything (ok not that crazy I know). The only thing is your nose profile might be kind of masculine, but I think you have feminine features already which help balance your face a ton. I tootally see a girl peeking through there! Lastly, how about a smile? I bet it's a good one :D

I'd love to see you all dolled up with a smile to boot ;)


cheetaking-

The video isn't playing for me (says private) but looking at the thumb pic in the video and the pic you previously posted, it looks like you are making some good progress! You kind of look like my ex gf actually. I think you're going to do really well! Maybe try contouring your eyebrows a little, I could see it helping out quite a bit.

Here's (http://hairremoval.about.com/od/eyebrowshaping/ss/eyebrow-shaping.htm) a tutorial on how to arch those brows if you are interested. My recommendation is: take it slow!
Title: Re: The "Could I Pass One Day" Thread - Part 2
Post by: Carrie Liz on March 13, 2013, 09:13:25 AM
Okay, I fixed the video settings. (Sorry, I've never tried to do this before, so I thought that "Private" was the setting that I needed to use to make it only visible to those with the link, but I messed that one up, it's actually "Unlisted." Okay, so now it should play. Sorry about that. Hope it's not too late to get some advice.)

And yeah, I wish that I could find a better wig, but unfortunately that is the only one I've gotten so far that accentuates my feminine features with any degree of success. Because of where the hair is tied off, it focuses the attention on my cheeks and my eyes, which are my favorite parts, while all of the other wigs seem to have the problem of making my upper face too small and my lower face too big. And that's a big problem, because my chin is one of my worst features as far as I'm concerned, so I hate it when it's highlighted. So yeah, I'm afraid that even though it looks a little juvenile, I feel stuck with it because it's the only one that really makes my face look feminine.

Here's all of the wigs that I own, and what they make me look like: (And again, I feel like every single one that's not tied back makes me look too masculine. Sigh... is there anyone with some hair expertise here? I just can't seem to find a good hairstyle unless I pull the wigs back into a ponytail or pigtails. Is there anything I can do to get that kind of cheek shaping with just a normal hairdo that hangs down?)

Wig 1: "Vera" wig
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi48.tinypic.com%2F4tocba.jpg&hash=2e02dfe01e01863f45ccaadfd369337559918f99)

Wig 2: "Vintage Vixen" wig
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F2s00hp5.jpg&hash=0d754ac75bb6d3caac139946c88da8c8da2a8609)

Wig 2, pulled back: (this is what I was wearing the last time I uploaded a "girl mode" picture)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F28heivq.jpg&hash=68839510dbd248ba887a8e29561010b27c502bbd)

Wig 3: "Divine" wig (side note: this was the hairstyle that my mom had at my age, so I wanted to try it. Um, yay 1970's, I guess... :P)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi47.tinypic.com%2F2q1cdae.jpg&hash=82f0e22b94c818640ecafb6897f033cebb3247a1)

Wig 4: "Roll With It" wig, pulled into pigtails (the one I am wearing in the video)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F2u8xgk1.jpg&hash=cfb1a416256a166d2eb58e1bbf27f4b41d0eeddc)

Once again, absolutely any advice will be welcomed. I'm still VERY early in this learning process, so I need all the help I can get.

-Carrie

(Side note: all of these pictures and videos that I have posted so far are without makeup. I really just want to be critiqued on my natural features, and honestly I'm kind of afraid of the stuff, because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with it, and there are SO MANY ways to screw it up that I'm scared to even try it. I mean, hell, I don't even like the makeup choices that cis-girls make 90% of the time, and they've got years of experience doing it. So what hope does a complete novice like me have?)

I'm kind of in your corner on makeup, not that I don't know how to use it, but mostly because I'm too lazy to want to get into the daily habit. Most cis women where I live don't use it often and then very little when they do. Let me offer some big sis advice, I don't know if you're on HRT yet, but when you do go on it's good for another 10- 15 lbs automatic weight gain especially if you're chunky to begin with. If you go on a daily exercise program and eat a lean diet you can count on weight loss starting from your extremities first, forearms, calves and ankles, neck and face. You have nice features and a basically pretty face already, do that and the rest will fall into place for you I'm sure.

TY!!!! But my hair was a Mess! lol, j/k it's just all frizzy in the back from wearing it in a pony tail earlier, but w/e. A lot of my facial features are big, but at least they are kind of proportionate to my "large face/head" *rolls eyes* Though hopefully you're right and when I start HRT my cheekbones will gain a little fat to round out my long face.... We'll see though....

Veronica-

First off hey I used to have exactly the same iphone case, same color and everything (ok not that crazy I know). The only thing is your nose profile might be kind of masculine, but I think you have feminine features already which help balance your face a ton. I tootally see a girl peeking through there! Lastly, how about a smile? I bet it's a good one :D

I'd love to see you all dolled up with a smile to boot ;)

Wooo go yellow phone cases! I actually used to have white, but I traded with a girl at work because I LOVED the yellow one, I just need to get a pink rubbery thing so I can have a pink lemonade iphone!

Anywayyys... My nose profile, omg don't get me started, lol. For all of my life I've wanted a nose job, so yeah, one day it's gonna happen. The smile, mayyyybe next time, but no teeth ;), lol, I don't like my teeth, they are big, blockey, and one of my two front teeth kinda "sticks" out (I know I'm overly critical about my looks but Hey, I've always been this way). Hopefully I can get invisalign sometime soon, listening to the dentist say "you don't really need braces" was such a bad idea all those years ago....

I'll get dolled up over spring break (so much school work this week) and post a few pics, maybe in the "You look fabulous darling" thread, and get some critiques on my make-up, but I need to get some brushes and a second darker foundation/bronzer (for my cheekbones), and a concealer. So much to do!

Cheetaking
I'd say good pass, voice and looks (from what I can see) If you're not wearing makeup then could be even better

Thanks for the feedback! ("good pass," though... seriously? I'll admit, I wasn't expecting that...) And I guess I probably will attempt to wear makeup eventually... I'm just a bit nervous starting on it because I really don't know what I'm doing, and thus am afraid of how bad my first attempts are going to be.  :embarrassed:

Quote from: Shantel on March 13, 2013, 12:04:05 PM
I'm kind of in your corner on makeup, not that I don't know how to use it, but mostly because I'm too lazy to want to get into the daily habit. Most cis women where I live don't use it often and then very little when they do. Let me offer some big sis advice, I don't know if you're on HRT yet, but when you do go on it's good for another 10- 15 lbs automatic weight gain especially if you're chunky to begin with. If you go on a daily exercise program and eat a lean diet you can count on weight loss starting from your extremities first, forearms, calves and ankles, neck and face. You have nice features and a basically pretty face already, do that and the rest will fall into place for you I'm sure.

Well, big sis, I fully anticipated the drop in metabolism that would come with HRT, and went on a VERY strict low-carb diet to combat said "automatic" weight gain. So I've actually lost 18 lbs since starting, going down from 261 to 243, and still counting. (My weight is still causing me HUGE problems, though, because I have such a fatty back and fatty arms, which really get in the way of my ability to look like a girl when I want to.) So yeah... I really hope you're right. So far almost all of the weight that I've lost has been coming off of my waist, (down from 40" to 37,") with not a lot changing in the upper body area.

yeah cheetaking! You go girl! Good video :D

You're going to do great!! Voice is good, you're definitely gonna pass! Own it!!!

Wow... I was NOT expecting that. Seriously? I mean, thank you, but really?

Wig 4 looks amazing on you.

Okay... thanks for the input! I always thought this was my best option myself, so it's good to get some confirmation, even though yeah, that wig might be a bit juvenile like someone else mentioned.


Thanks lots, everyone! It's really comforting to have some external confirmation every now and then. Thank you so much!

Hello again! So I posted a pic earlier just after my first laser session (pg 12). I know my beard was looking crazy in that pic, but now I am getting close shaves again and a majority of my neck hair has fallen out completely :D Due for another laser session in a week.

I've also arched my eyebrows just a tad as suggested, and I've been experimenting with a slight amount of foundation + mascara in my day to day androgynous routine. Today I was feeling especially good so I decided to take a pic to share.

I know my adam's apple is rather large (albiet semi-hidden in this pic) and I'm pretty self conscious about it, so I'm hoping to have that taken care of sometime in Jan/Feb. Also I am at exactly 3 weeks of HRT today!

I'm not really trying to pass yet, but in a  few weeks my friends are throwing another crossdressing friendly event that I'm really excited about... I will have another pic to share then :) What do you think now though? Do you think my facial structure will be feminine enough to pass given time with hormones? Very curious (and quite nervous) to know what you think.

Well, recent update, I guess.  I'm still being pretty lazy about transition in general.  I keep wondering if I should go through with it or not.  I present male and "bind" (sort of, with a sports bra) everywhere except at home and then my "girl" clothing is really tame.

AHH Jamie!! You are making me want to cry!! To read these words and see that photo from almost 3 months ago brings it all back (seems like waaaay longer to me holy CRAP!!). I can't believe how much I've been pitting myself up against, and it is hard to hold the tears back because I'm reminded of all the constant mess ups and tiny daily triumphs all at once.

AHHHH okay okay

One step back... two steps forward... one step back... two steps forward. Still so much to experience and learn, still so many personal victories to be realized.. My mind is aflutter with anticipation of my future life as a woman. This can't be real!

Well, here come the tears. Thank you Jamie. I'm gushing right now, I know- I'm sorry. Sometimes I hate the internet... I need a hug. Thanks for making this an even more wonderful night.

I am super grateful for these forums and all the wonderful people here helping so many people realize their dreams. Shantel, you have helped me so much too I just can't describe how much it means to me. The amount of times I've gone starry eyed with euphoria has really done a number on me.

Also your face has a lovely shape to it, I think with different glasses you will pass with flying colors.

You will want to start gradually thinning and shaping your browns from the bottom.  Another happy-looking person.  This is great.

"You have a cute smile"
Thanks!  I hope that translates into purty lady in the future.  :)

"Your video made me smile.  I love the wave and the grin.  And your nose is not that big a problem.  Besides, rhinoplasty is the second most common cosmetic surgical procedure."

I haven't stopped smiling since I started being honest with myself.  Glad I can share it with someone.  I've got a long way to go.  About 30lbs of fat and man muscle, 20lbs of dark black beard, and 2 five pounders (my eyebrows).  The nose wouldn't get on my nerves if it wasn't crooked.  I was once an MMA fighter back when I was pretending (darn it).

Thanks, and next time I post, hopefully I'll have some hair and another face on top of mine.  :laugh:

@GreenThumb  @Atachihoover

I see nothing in either set of photos that would be disqualifying.  If you doubt that, take a look at the "before and after" stickied topic.

With that said, there are some immediate things that are common fixes for most MtFs.  Thinning or removing facial hair.  May require laser or electrolysis.  Eyebrows can be narrowed and shaped.

Hairlines often need adjustment.

If you are considering changing bone structure through FFS, I would recommend "virtual FFS" first.  There are links in some of the topics on the FFS page.

But passing is more than how you look, though visual clues are important.  It is also how you carry yourself, how you sound, how you inflect, and how you relate with others.

At this point do not be discouraged. especially as you are pre-hrt.

Well, you look pretty adorable already, so I don't anticipate that passing will be very difficult for you. You could possibly pass already if you had a cute hairstyle and some make-up.

I want to say that you're lucky, but I feel old when I call people lucky for these sorts of good looks. I have to remind myself that I'm still a teenager.

I don't see a problem with your nose I think you look great! And I think your future looks bright! Your only two weeks in its going to take time but slowly you'll notice changes. I look like a different person now than I was at two weeks. In a couple of months your going to look back on these pictures in amazement of how much different you look! :)

There's not a whole lot you can do with your hair right now, given its length. Unless you want to buy a wig, you'll just have to wait until it grows out a bit.

Make-up is a bit more standard. You'll want foundation, eyeliner, and mascara as your absolute basics, with lipstick, lip liner, primer, and eye-shadow being introduced as you see necessary. There are youtube videos for this sort of thing, and they can go into more depth than I can - covering things like using different shades to accentuate or de-accentuate features, detailed instructions on how to do your eye make-up, and different styles of doing so, and all that sort of thing.

I hope hormones are in the near future for you. You are cute, but they will make the passing job more successful, and easier.

I disagree. You may want to eventually make changes to your nose and profile but I don't think you need to do that to pass. I'm in the same boat with regards to wanting to remodel the nose! :)

Hi eloij  :)

I really don't see any issues with your nose or profile  :)  You actually have a rather cute nose and have a lot of feminine features to begin with 

My recommendation would be to give the HRT time to do it's work before making any decisions regarding getting any FFS done

Hi eloij I don't see any real issue with your nose or profile. I think you'll turn out great. May main thought would be to purchase a more unisex, or even better, a really cute pair of glasses when you get the chance.

Well, it is a picture taken while holding my cell at arm's length ... LOL But, it is me, the real me, at work, just the way I am, no professional shot, no make-up, no photo-shopping, no glamour shot (obviously!!! LOL). The same goes for the picture in my Avatar. I took it myself with my cell phone, as well.

In total honesty, what do you see in the Pictures, a man or a woman? Or something in between? I am inerested because I am living full time, even at work and I wonder what people really think...

Thanks in advance,

Andrea, I see someone with an androgynous presentation leaning toward female.  I definitely DO NOT see a guy.  Nor so I see one in your current avatar.  The thinned eyebrows, earrings, and eyes scream female.  The beanie with that, and the lack of makeup says to me, maybe butch lesbian.

You say you are full time, so some minimal makeup could not hurt.

One thing face-on pictures lack is any perspective of "tells," such as brow bossing or nose shape.  So if the question is "Could you pass one day?" the answer is, you already pass on several levels.

I don't think your nose gives you away at all. IMHO your glasses don't suit you but if you blow dry a little volume into your hair to bring it away from your face at each side you will see a big difference. You have a beatiful feature ahead! x

@Bex80, @Sammy, @Jamie D

Thank y'all so much for y'all's feedback!

Well, the thing is: I am full time, I never get looks in the ladies' rooms, people call me ma'am at the store, and stuff, but, I posted a picture here, a "butch" picture, so to speak, because I personally believe, and this *solely* my opinion, that is important for me to pass without trying, to pass without being dolled up. My goal is to pass *for sure*, one day, as I open my eyes in the morning, with no make on, dressed like a guy and maybe even with a shaven head or a beanie on (I am aware the beanie is not flattering nor is it feminine). In other words, I think one totally passes when one is trying to pass as his or her birth assigned gender and cannot be convincing! :-) That is what I am striving for. That is why I post this type of pictures. Make sense? Please, tell me if I am crazy!!! LOL

About the nose profile and brow ridge: there are a couple of things that I was lucky with. My nose profile and my brow ridge: mine are naturally smooth, soft and very feminine. That is why I did not post a profile picture: I do not have problems, there, thanks Heavens!!! :-)

The second thing is my voice: I was born with a gender neutral voice and lately, after I have allowed my inside to come to the surface, I have not had a single occurrence where somebody has not called me ma'am on the phone, although my name is gender neutral, i.e. it could be more or female, actually when I say Andi, it sounds more male than female, if anything (since most spell it "Andy". Make sense?

Thanks again and please, feel free to add more brutally honest comments! :-)

Andrea

OK.  I've been posting on here for a while (though not so much last month or so).  I guess it's finally my turn. 

First picture is from a job interview - right before I was heading out the door.  Presenting as male obviously.

Second picture is from tonight - first time dressing in public as female with full skirt and makeup on.  It was my first attempt at makeup and I was rushed because I was late for a trans support meeting (which didn't happen - my calendar screw-up).  Also no earrings or jewelry on - also because I was rushed.

So.. I know I still have many masculine features - but I just started on hormones and I'm taking steps.  Could I, someday, pass?

*Pics removed for privacy.

Hello Alexis, you look very pretty and feminine. I am sure that nobody can tell that you are a transgender girl. I wish I would have started estrogen and blocker at early age.  At what age did you go full time? The advantage is that you do not have any problem for shopping, for me I am always nervous to go shopping.  Do you try clothes in the shops?

You will! Just get rid of that 5 o'clock shadow and work on your eyebrows! Easy enough to do. Improve on your hair style! And SMILE!! :-)

Don't listen to those who are hypercritical: they are trying to help you, no doubt about that, but they may be perfectionists and there is no need for that in real life: life is good sometimes just because it is imperfect! :-)

Good luck, and contact me for help, if you would like. I stated out a super manly man six moths ago. Now people just call me ma'am every place I go. :-)

Take care,
Andrea

You said in another post you were MtF.

Though you modified the image, I'd say you have quite a few good things going for you in terms a cranial/facial features.

- "Female" nose
- Little or no brow bossing
- Totally cute eyes and lashes

Your best bet is to work with a therapist about the gender issues, and perhaps start some sort of T-blocker, to help preserve your feminine features.

Sorry for the delayed response.  I am out of town at a training class.

It is difficult to answer those questions on the basis of one profile picture (I am not even considering the second, highly modified image - with good enough PhotoShop skills, I could make myself look like Brittany Spears).

If you fell like it, post a suite of images, like you would take for virtual FFS.  One face on, one 3/4th view, and one profile, showing your hear from the shoulders up (to image your neck and throat).  You can even do one additional with makeup, if you wish.  You will probably get more feed back

Post by: Charley Bea(EmeraldP) on April 13, 2013, 03:14:19 PM
I believe so, I have a sort of love-love less relationship with my chin. I love it but also not always. It doesn't bother me as much as it use to as I have seen a few cisfemales with strong chins. If I did get FFS it would be on my nose and chin.

Funny thing was when I was younger so late teens about 18-20 a few times if I was wearing my glasses I would get called Clark Kent compliment to some but to me I like the character but it didn't always make me feel good, it was before I knew I was trans(had feelings but wasn't sure what they were). But yeah it had its benefits I guess is what I am trying to say in this overly sized responce XD

I'm more between this thread, and the pass thread, more like my idea for an in-between: "How's My Progress Coming?" Mainly because I don't think I'm QUITE able to be seen as me, but almost. That, and I'm curious about what my potential prospects are for the future, given I'm on a small-medium estrogen dose at the time of this post.

I ask you to please NOT quote the photo, I am trying to keep as small a trace on me as possible for the now and the future. This is very important to me.

So, blah, hair, yay nice facial changes lately, at just past the 5 month mark, age 20, still with a naturalized, no makeup look. I'll try to get one with the makeup itself in like mid June.

@EmeraldPerpugilliam
I think you can do it. I love your smile. First thing, you want to work on the beard shadow (as most all of us must). You have great dramatic eyebrows. They could use a bit of thinning/glamourizing, but that's possible enough. I think with makeup, you could be a stunner.

@Jessica N
You have a wonderful face that's already quite feminine. I don't think this stuff is going to be hard for you at all.

Dramatic eyebrows..that is a new one on me lol Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately with my current living situation I am unable to practice looking the part as much as I would like. Hopefully that will change eventually. Fortunately I won't be changing my dress sense(lack of :P) too much except when I feel like getting dressy/snazzy/glamorous. So it shouldn't be too hard for family to get use to.

@Emily: Do you not pass in public? I find that rather hard to believe as I think you pass fine. Heck, with a lil makeup you'd be really pretty. That's the only thing I'd say. Also, you're shaped very womanly and I think this has more of an effect on passing then people realize. There really should be a "How's my body look" thread.

Wow,  This photo would have been more appropriate for a thread called, "Guess which one is not a GG"!

I don't think I pass.  I was out last week in public and I was clocked and had a very unpleasant experience so I have not been out since.  I am going to a hair stylist here soon that is suppose to be amazing in finding what style works for you so I am excited about that.  I defiantly need to work on my makeup though and a friend, hopefully, will be able to help me with that as well.  Most of the time I try makeup I look like a drag queen on meth.  LOL

That maybe would help but when I do wear it I feel like I look hideous. I'm obviously still a guy and have quite awhile to go but I was just wondering what some of you thinK of my long-term chances. Several people in the past have said I will make a horrible looking woman so it's really hard to get that thought out of my head. Please don't quote the images themselves as I will take them down.

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience last week people can be so horrible. I do think learning to do makeup properly will def help you and possibly getting a new hair style. I still think you pass though to be honest. You have a very femme body so that def helps. I hope things work out for you.

Hopefully when I get my hair and makeup down it will become easier for me to go out and successfully pass.  My friend who went with me the last time thinks it was my negative/nervous energy I was putting out that got my clocked? which I can see since I do have self-confidence issues so this is something that I need to work on as well.

You sure do pass, sister. Your shape, which you're hiding with the long baggy tops - totally works for you. Most people seem to 'guess' on body more than face, but if one is obviously 'wrong' for the other, it screams someone with a trans* experience. You don't have that problem at all. Makeup is all you need and you'll definitely stand out from the crowd in a good way :)

Completely honestly? I think it's early days yet to worry about passing, BUT give yourself a couple more months and you'll be surprised how your face kinda fills out where it's supposed to, and gets smaller where it should. It takes a while for most people but you'll start seeing differences. Your size is definitely a positive factor, you're obviously kinda svelt, so fat redistribution will do wonders on your frame, moreso than those of us who are larger. I absolutely think you'll pass just fine :D

Right now just concentrate on you, and in a couple of months you'll be totally shocked with the differences you see, and how you feel :)

Blush! - Most of the time since I am not full-time yet I have to wear really baggy shirts since my chest is getting pretty big from the HRT.  I also wear a breast binder to hold them back so it looks somewhat normal.  I hope to get some much needed makeup lessons from a friend of mine here soon so I am defiantly excited about that.

Personally, I don't think you will have a problem passing. You have some very androgynous features, but you already looked androgynous pre-HRT. I can see why you were 'mistaken' in the past for a woman.

Joanna - you are just a couple of months into it.  Very early to make judgements.  One thing you should count on, though, will be laser and/or electrolysis.

I'm trying to get my first laser appt. next week!  :D It's one of the main things I need to take care of. Yeah I know seven weeks isn't really that many plus I just started taking a regular dose of spiro so I'm hoping that has some effect. It will at least help the E work better.

Post by: lissabuchannon on April 17, 2013, 02:06:25 AM
Don't give up girl. I had a head-start. I'm intersex and don't have natural testosterone. That doesn't mean I didn't have any tho, was taking shots since before puberty was supposed to set in till about 18 months ago. 4 months ago, a little longer than that I guess now, I started on estrogen instead. But don't let other people's experience on moanes be your guide. I think you have a great start FWIW and you're definitely on the right track with estrogen and an anti-androgen :)

Good luck with this, any step taken is one step closer to your goals.  I had laser to get rid of my dark hairs and now I am doing electrolysis (ouch!) so at first it can be difficult when starting out but know that it will all be worth it in the end.

... I'm not looking for affirmation, more a "what do I need to work on" kind thing, if you know what I mean.

I'd be happy to help with that, but  you'll need to post more visual material than that shot in with a group. A couple of full length shot and a couple of head shots from different angles, perhaps.

You're doing good yay! and you're def getting there. You certainly are andro-looking right now. You're def pass someday but it's hard to say if that day is today without a 3/4 profile pic or a side pic.

I think you are coming along quite well and look rather feminine  :)  I imagine you'll be just fine and probably often pass already

So yeah, here I am  :P

I work in a quite definite male mode, thus there are few things that are waiting for the future when I feel comfortable enough to go full time, like shaping eyebrows, getting a proper hair cut and trachea shave. At the moment, those have to wait unfortunately.

The problems I see myself very clearly is the huge forehead. I would hope that bangs would cover that up? Also, my nose is huge, but that will remain huge as I don't think that in a short term I can afford FFS, perhaps never.

Also, I'm almost 36. I will never be a pretty young girl, I know that and accept it. Those days unfortunately I lost while fighting with myself. I can accept to be an ugly old woman, just as long as I don't look male.

Be honest and even brutal, I rather take nasty comments here than on the street. Please don't quote the pictures, as I would like to take them down eventually.

I have very tiny amount of foundation and eyeliner in these pictures.

Probably just me but I see a very feminine face, I have seen some cisgender females with similar sized foreheads. Also to be honest I don't think you have that big a forehead anyway.

Thank you so much. I don't feel it,  but I figured 'what the hey?' and walked tonight in my hometown.
A couple of stares from one particular ethnic group, but about 3/4 of the people I know as 'male' didn't recognize me, and more than half were supportive.

At the grand old age of, well, not in my teens or 20's even after this year, I'll take that as a 'win' snicker :)

I don't see any reason why you could not pass.  Like many who have been "poisoned" by testosterone, you have a male-ish profile.  FFS would take care of your slight brow ridge and reshape your nose.  And yes, the Adam's Apple is a "give-away."

And by the way, your three pictures are exactly how you should present them to a surgeon, with the hair tied back, and a neutral expression.

Well hi Henna, there you are! Yes you will pass one day without a lot of trouble, probably a nose job. Other than that you have a great looking face, chin and jawline is good to go. I had been wondering what the owner of those hands really looked like. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, it looks like I have facial hair. I know I pass with makeup. Ignoring the fact that it looks like I have facial hair (I don't, it's an inflammation of my upper lip due to botched electrolysis), is it reasonable to expect to be able to pass without makeup given more time on HRT? (less than three months so far) I mostly don't get gendered as anything (not addressed as either "sir" or "m'am"). Rarely, "sir", even more rarely "m'am".

Here is an older picture (like two weeks ago). I really don't have much facial hair. I like this picture. No makeup.

Your face has no problem passing that I can see. Even in shots 3 and 4 I can see a girl.

It seems to me that your more immediate goal should be to work on your weight issues.  Excess weight has been a battle for me my entire adult life.

You will feel better and likely look better, and more passable, if you make that your focus.

Yes, I don't see why not.  One thing you can do is begin to gradually thin your eyebrows, for a more feminine appearance.  From the bottom, upward.

Very much so! I could see hrt doing some amazing things for ya. Like others have said, you have a beautiful smile, and if you cleaned the eyebrows just a little bit, you could totally pull it off now IMO.

And I hope your hair is that wavy when it grows out. That first pic where you're smiling is adorable!

Yes, you will do just fine honey!  But as JamieD said battle your weight issue first, might as well get healthy to enjoy your freedom to be the woman that you were meant to be! Again like Jaime said You will feel better and likely look better, and more passable, if you make that your focus.

I want to know if I will pass visually as female some day. I want to hear a few more opinions, and then I will just let HRT take the wheel and steer. I am pre HRT, so all of this is without any hormones. I am just starting this journey and cant wait to get to the other side.

This is how I look now,

What do you think? will I be able to pass someday?
I think you are doing just fine and will have no problem at all in the future.

I really don't like my profile shot that much :/ The brow to nose bridge area isn't that flattering...but maybe it won't be so bad, I don't know(?) Not a great fan of my chin either but hopefully that'll change when I have an orthodontic surgery procedure; that will simultaneously cut it down a little. Last shot isn't all that photogenic but for the sake of trying to look as least flattering as possible for assessment it's there.

Well, your first picture is pretty good, but the others look a little problematic. Your chin is a bit long-looking (though this isn't a huge deal), and your forehead/brow ridge looks like it will be difficult to work with. You have little else to worry about, but FFS is something you may want to consider, in time.

You can probably pass without it, but people will probably be able to read you as trans until the forehead is taken care of.

Yeah, the brow ridge is fairly inconvenient, in so far as I will probably fixate on it until I can get it done. I don't know how that sort of thing'd cost but I guess I can ask my friends at the clinic. I guess it's not a huge concern for now but it's probably the one surgery I would get given the chance. My orthodontic surgery is already going to set my jaw back, so it'll be less prominent, and they will shave about half a centimetre off the length of the chin, so along with the jaw being set back and raised up, and the slight shave on the chin, it should put things in normal range. Thankyou for the constructive feedback, it makes a lot of sense ^_^

Face on, you pass to me without problem.   And your chin is pretty good too.

Why present yourself with no makeup, unstyled hair, and boy clothes?  And then ask if you pass, even a little.  Give us your best effort.

It is not my own hair. it I a wig. My current hair is only about two inches long and I think it will be about 2 years before I have hair that long. Thanks for the complement, now I know what style to get when it gets long.

Erm.. to me you already pass :)

Actually you look a LOT like my ex gf. Like, whoa!

I would only suggest plucking the slightest bit of eyebrow out from the center- but it's hard to tell from just the one photo if it's even necessary.

Way to go! :D

I think you are close, very close. If you tamed your hair on top a little bit and opened your eyes a little bit wider it might do wonders :) And also, since passing is mostly about attitude and confidence in who you really are- I'm sure you already pass if you've got that going on!

As people have said to me in the past, just be patient and let HRT work its magic. I think you will be very pleased with your results!

New Here!
Im wearing a wig and skimpy dress.
Im not on HRT.
What do you think?

You are already feminine in both mind and body. Also you seem to have nice sense of fashion.
I wished HRT once, but I could manage not to get it while expressing my desire occasionally.

UH, YOUR THIRD ATTEMPT WITH MAKEUP? Girl, I don't know WHAT you're doing, but you need to give me some tips! You are GORGEOUS!!! I can never find a good eyeliner, for those days when I want to further feminize myself.  >:( I'm always stuck either looking too androgynous without makeup, or making a failed attempt with liquid eyeliner. =___= As a genetic female, seeing this is your third attempt with makeup, I'm further appalled by myself...

Thank you, however I can not take full credit for my third attempt as I had a little help. I had a friend still talk me through the process as I still get lost and a little confused here and there and I have a lot of questions still, but I did apply it myself and see it is clearly much better than my first and second attempt. I'm so happy with the result compared to my first two.

3 and a half months on low dose hrt. Not seeing much change still but then I know it is still a bit early to see much change on said low doses.


Please DO NOT QUOTE as I intend to take the pic down in a few days.

EDIT: Adding a side shot since I tend to avoid them, not very clear or flattering but might give a better idea of my face/head profile. If I had one like this pre-hrt I would add it but I do not.


Again please DO NOT QUOTE.

Gawd that double chin besides that and my stomach I am fairly skinny promise.

Emerald, I think you'll pass once HRT kicks in more, and if your hair was long and down to make you seem softer.

Thanks LearnedHand hopefully I will be on higher doses soon, My hair reaches past the base of my neck at the moment but since it curls up at the ends it seems shorter then it is. Also I had just had a shower when I took those pics so it is combed back and wet and curling up already :(

I do want it much longer though just no pleasing me sometimes XD

Planning trachea shave in december and getting my broken nose fixed next year hopefully sooner. Currently working on laser hair removal on face. Hurts a bit more than shaving but only for a minute instead of hours... can't wait for the 6th session results.

For some reason the images aren't coming up so I am putting the links also.

OK, I can see the pictures.  Are just about to start HRT?

Things to work on: a couple of the basics

Thin the eyebrows, preferably from the bottom, working up.  Give them a nice arch.

You look like you will need electrolysis or laser.

Your glasses somewhat obscure your brow - can't say about that, but you may need some FFS.  Let the hormones work their magic.

Your best bet to get helpful commentary are face-on, 3/4, and profile views.  That's what you would do for virtual ffs.

Ohhh yes. I bet you'll pass very well. I can see a beautiful feminine smile hiding behind that sideways glance ;) I assume it's a wig? Well it frames your face nicely!

+1 to what girl you look fierce said about suggestions. Learning how to do all of these things come with time, but you'll get there!

I think it is about passing. It's about making the outside match the inside. I have had trans people say to me "you can't say its about looking female, you are not doing it for that reason" or "it don't matter if you still look like a man, as you will feel female inside" Stupid!!

But, I already feel female inside (reason why I am changing my gender), but I still look like a man in ladies clothes.

If I should not be doing this to change my body to a females, then I may of well not of spent £2000 at a clinic or had any HRT at all!!

If there are any people on here who don't really mind if they don't pass or feel that it should NOT be about passing then thats fine, but I am sure that for most trans people, they say they want to be able to pass like a born female or born male.

It is a wig, my hair is in the awkward middle stage of growing out where it seems almost impossible to do anything with.  I'm hoping by the end of the year to be past that.  Now to tame some brows and stop being so conservative with makeup  :)

Your eyebrows look good to me, Shelby. Thick, low brows on women are fashionable these days. Maybe if you feel like it, you can get them lightened a few shades instead. It'll make them less strong, but then you get to keep the thickness they're at, which is really nice in my opinion. :)

If you are looking for advice on how to shape brows, I found this one to be particularly helpful:

I agree w/ kyh though, keep em thick towards the middle at least- and then add some arch by taking some out from underneath according to the right shape. All the GG's will be jealous of your luscious BROWS ;D

Oh yes Jennygirl, I wish there was some way I could even grow thicker brows to be able to do that with. You may have noticed that my avatar has generally been about pretty eyes and eyebrows? Some girls here fuss about getting a more girlie shape, I want some eyebrows in the worst way, all I have are real sparse things and have to trim them at times lest I look like I have a few antennas. I hate my eyebrows... :'(

Why is it that people worry about everything else first? You can't do anything in the way of FFS till HRT has worked.

What ever you have done now (before HRT has worked) won't make you look female. HRT plays a big part in how you will look (as a female).

Do I want FFS? Yes I do (if HRT does not change the things I am not happy with) But I'll be waiting till I know what changes in my face HRT has done first. Why spend money on FFS for things that HRT could change?

For certain things, I think I may somewhat disagree.. Like the browline. Seems to me like that isn't going to change at all with hrt... Maybe a verrrry slight bit (with the muscles in the center of the brow and thinning of skin of course). But honestly I think ffs brow/forehead correction could happen at any time and it's not worth giving HRT time to fix it if that is the only issue. Especially the orbitals. Same goes for the profile of the nose. The width of the nose probably will change though, so its appearance will be feminized to some degree

For things like jawline, nose, cheeks, chin, and overall face shape, I think HRT definitely is worth waiting for. I mean have a look at Catherine's photos in the before/after thread. Simply incredible.

And yes, I am considering having my brow/orbitals corrected soon... So maybe that is why I am rationalizing fixing it sooner rather than later ;)

I think people who have not started HRT and are already thinking about FFS, need to talk to other trans people, because they will tell you that it is not an easy ride going from male to female.

All this from start to finish takes time, so why rush it?

And don't forget, anything you have done now, will I am sure still change once HRT kicks in. So you may not be happy again about brow and forehead or what ever FFS you have!!

In all fairness, I do believe it's a good idea to have a general idea of what you want changed about your face. Even if you haven't underwent a good year or 2 of HRT.  It's good to at least have a documentation of what you'd like to have changed or fixed.  I'd agree that it's not the best choice to actually pursue it before HRT does it's modifications, but still. That statement has been made numerous times on this, no use in repeating it. Ya know. :P

I am just starting my transition, no hormones or anything yet.  I've done a decent amount of research, I have an inverted V body shape so hopefully I'll pass body wise, but I'm not sure about facially.  What do you guys think?

@Sierra Belle - I think your facial features are already delicate. You should do great.

@Jenna B. - It's hard for me to tell. You aren't trying to look feminine in those pics. I can't judge all your facial structure very well either since you only have front view profile pictures. A side view profile is needed if you want an opinion on whether you'll want FFS or not (specifically brow contouring). You do have a great smile and very nice eyes. I think with the right makeup your eyes would pop very well.

Your somewhat receded hairline and widow's peak could pose a problem (I have a similar hairline and use a wig to hide it). You may want to consider shopping for a wig that frames your face well (de-emphasizes your square jaw line), at least until you can grow your hair out. It looks thick enough that you could part it in a way to hide the receded sides when it's long enough. Maybe sometime down the road you can consider whether to get a hairline advancement or transplant.

There is some toning down you need to do. HRT will probably help in that regard, but you might want to think about changing your exercise routine to one that is geared towards feminizing your body. I can't link anything but I'm sure if you google around you will find several exercise regimens for this purpose. I'm currently doing some I found on Renee Reyes' site and like them pretty well (in addition to a lot of cardio). Specifically I like the pullovers she suggests. It really works on tightening up under your chin, which might help you some in feminizing the jawline area.

All that said, I think you might be surprised at how good you can look right now with the right makeup, attire, and wig. As for the long run, I don't think you'll have many problems feminizing your face.

Ok, I suppose it's my turn. I had an awesome experience last month in which I got a makeover and went out to a bar/night club with several other trans women. It was my first time fully made up and out in public. After the makeover I knew I had to see what kind of results I could produce on my own. Below are some of my pictures from the makeover and from my first attempt at doing my own makeup:

My first makeup attempt a few days later (https://plus.google.com/photos/111010333115160167230/albums/5881010780691646161?authkey=CMunkcPe0dymFw) (Also got a wig that I liked much better than the one used in the makeover).

I'm 37 years old and obviously not on HRT yet, but I plan to start in a few months. What do you all think?

I think you'll have a really good outcome physically, eventually a little trach shave will do. Kind of pretty face and beautiful smile!

I think you have beautiful (green) eyes which are very striking.  Your facial features would easily be feminized with HRT.  (But if you can - consider FFS as our bodies do change as we age) and our beauty and facial features don't stay with us.  I was a fashion model in my early twenties, so hopefully I'm talking with some authority. ;)

You might think this question is a bit ridiculous but I'm seriously wondering, are you Mtf or Ftm? Your hair is short and your face is pretty androgynous, but your expressions make you look more feminine. I think you could pass for either male or female, depending on which you're transitioning to.

Btw, I know this is the Mtf section of the forum, so I'm guessing you're Mtf? If not, there's a couple of other threads in the Ftm section you could try posting in. I'm not sure if there's one that's "Could I pass one day?" but I know there's one that's "Do I pass? (right now)". So, check those out if that applies to you. :)

But seriously, you're really lucky to look that androgynous already!

umm QT alert!

You're going to pass just fine. I don't see any issues. The white hair pics are especially good because of your expressions as kyh mentioned.

HRT will take some of the bulk out of your neck, which will do wonders for the feminine features you already possess like lips, eyes, and jawline. Your eyes are deep set, but that hasn't stopped people from passing (speaking from experience ;)). I just hope we get to see photos with some smiles later on :D

Yes, definitely some butch lesbian feeling going on in the pics with white hair (which is better than masculine man right?). So they made me question whether she was a Ftm transitioner who previously identified as a butch lesbian hahaha

Wow, have you been doing nonstop laser? Your beard shadow is much less noticeable now. And I think that hairstyle is lovely and suits you.

Post by: Jamie Marie on May 26, 2013, 08:00:01 PM

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. Still trying to get really comfortable going out. Practice and patience I suppose.

Only two laser treatments so far. Good makeup I guess or a really good picture. I still dislike my looks so I try to improve it anyway possible. The upper lip and chin area are the worst both for shaving and laser, double ouch  :(

But on the other hand lots of people worry about their looks way too much so I try not to stress over it too much.
Still growing hair out so it's a cheap wig that matches my natural hair color and style I used to have, except my bangs were never more than 8inches long, yet!

Here is another picture with no makeup and no wig

My name's Ryan, I'm 21 and pre-everything, just starting the process. I've just been lurking so far and I guess I probably should've started with an introduction or something but I've been feeling kind of crappy lately and wanted to get some feedback on my prospects for passing someday.

P.S. I know the lighting sucks but my webcam dosen't handle the lights in my room very well.

You have some good things going for you already.  One poster mentioned you lips and mouth.  I like your arched eyebrows.  Your chin is not male massive.  Your general face shape is feminine rather than masculine.

What could be issues?  I can't get a read on your brow bossing or Adams Apple.  And maybe your hairline, but that does not stand out to me.

Hi Ladies. I am 28 and very early on in transition. I am 6 months into therapy and not on HRT yet but have had two laser treatments and have my third this week. I am fairly tall at 6 foot and am stuck with big male feet which have both been something that has always scared me about transition. Please let me know your thoughts as to if HRT may be enough for me to really pass or if I might need some FFS as well. As of now I feel I am passing decently well in most casual environments but I think I am still getting clocked due to my height. These are my most recent pictures and are from an amazing trip I took with two of my best friends to New Orleans this weekend. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Eeeeh. I'm usually pretty critical compared to other members (which usually keeps me from posting because then people get despaired and/or think I'm being mean to them), but seriously, don't worry about it. A few unlucky ones will never get to your current degree of passing without something drastic like FFS, and many, many of us would have never passed so well before HRT. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

And even now, to be honest, at first glance I was gonna say "Seriously? No, you pass 100 %". Then I looked more cautiously, because of where it was posted, and I noticed a few things. Like how your jaw is a little wide (which will most likely be camouflaged by hormones soon enough) and how your large sunglasses (by hiding the upper face so much, they scream "lookie, down there, jaaaaaaaw!") and hair placement (behind the jaw) on the last picture are extremely unflattering by showing its worst aspect.

Your jaw will most likely be camouflaged very well by HRT. And if it doesn't, a bit of FFS is always an option. But trust me: if you ever get FFS, it will merely be an improvement, not a requirement.

Also, what the heck? super gynecomastia? Clever protheses/bra? o.o

Lauren -
Um, you're already passing pretty well IMHO.  If you were to show me only picture #2 (by yourself in the black top), and I didn't know any better, I would have read you only as a woman, not as a trans-woman.  HRT is only going to increase your passability and soften your features.  The only thing that I see right now is that your arms are distinctly male.  FFS - you're kidding me.  Unless something changes dramatically, I wouldn't even let that enter my mind at this point unless there is something that is really bothering you.  In any case, you should probably wait a couple of years to see what HRT will do anyway.

As to height - I wouldn't worry about it.  There are a lot of women out there who are 6 feet tall.  The main thing is to make sure that your gestures, mannerisms, and most of all, voice reflect the woman that you are.  If you do this, even heels won't be a problem (which will help you to feel less concious about your foot size).

Thanks for sharing, and good luck to you.  Welcome to Susan's!

Thanks for your candid response A. My jaw is one of my biggest concerns on my face and I completely agree about the sunglasses and hair being further back make my wide jaw stand out. Good to hear that the hormones may help out with that on their own and a smaller pair of sunglasses is in my future now ;). As for the boobs, I have always had slight man boobs and I combined with an add two sizes bra it can sometimes create decent cleavage. That pic is exceptionally good and we were all surprised by it lol!

Thanks for the response Carol! Yeah I have always been very naturally athletic and while don't do any weight lifiting have always had very strong muscles. I am hoping HRT will help decrease them and soften up thos big arms and shoulder muscles. Good to hear FFS may not be needed to pass, I would much rather focus on other things if I can than spend the money and recovery on FFS. The only major thing that A mentioned as well is my jaw but I agree to let HRT do its magic for a bit and see if that helps out there.

Lauren i wouldn't worry to much about passing. i think your going to do just fine. at 6 months your already looking good. you can get FFS if you want as it doesn't really hurt as long as you don't go overboard like some do. and being tall? tall is good and we have more fun. most models are like 5'11 or taller. lookin good girl

@GYLF  It's funny you should mention the lips, I used to get made fun of for them when I was younger because people thought I was wearing lipstick, not that I really minded those "insults" - also, I hope you're right about my transition  :)

@JamieD  Thanks for all your feedback! I think my hairline and brows could cause me some issues but I guess the clever use of bangs could help with that, as for the adams apple, I don't think it's too bad but I imagine I'll have to address it at some point.

@Tristan  I'm glad you think I've got potential :) Sometimes I see it, sometimes I'm not so sure. I'm trying to start hrt as soon as I can but sometimes the whole process feels painfully slow.

Shantel thanks for giving me quite a laugh. The two guys are a couple and are my biggest supporters. They are both very hairy men who would have a lot of laser in their future ;). Thanks for the compliment and the laugh.

Tristen, thanks for the feedback. I hope HRT will make some nice differences in my face to where FFS won't be necessary at all but I guess I can just cross that bridge when I get there.

I like to hear that i have a glow ;) I am a super positive bubbly and happy person typically and I am glad that comes off as a feminine feature.

Hi Ladies. I am 28 and very early on in transition. I am 6 months into therapy and not on HRT yet but have had two laser treatments and have my third this week. I am fairly tall at 6 foot and am stuck with big male feet which have both been something that has always scared me about transition. Please let me know your thoughts as to if HRT may be enough for me to really pass or if I might need some FFS as well. As of now I feel I am passing decently well in most casual environments but I think I am still getting clocked due to my height. These are my most recent pictures and are from an amazing trip I took with two of my best friends to New Orleans this weekend. Thanks in advance for your opinions.



You have nothing to worry about! I think you are adorable!  Height can sometimes be tricky but to be honest, when you posted those pictures I had no idea who I was suppose to be looking for.  I seriously thought I was looking at a pretty young cis lady!

Hi Everybody

I have recently started my transition and have currently been taking hormones for a month and a half.

Haven't really noticed any changes other than the painful breast lumps, but I am hopeful!

I'm a bit shy so just thought I'd post one photo to get me started and then maybe post more in the coming months.

I haven't grown my hair yet but it grows pretty fast anyway. I would love to think I could pass fully after hormone therapy and ffs :/

Natural hair, no make-up (had electro yesterday, and my skin is unforgiving enough as it is, hence also no close-up of the face for now). Clothing is officially all women's (ideally I'd wear something like that to the office); and yes I'm wearing a black t-shirt underneath, dressing and pictures were a spur of the moment thing, so sue me. ;)

Edit: 3 1/2 months of HRT so far

Oooo.  White on white.  I like the photos.

Your body language tells me you have the attitude!

The face still leans to the male side of androgynous, but 3 1/2 months on HRT is really just starting.

I think you will progress well.

I think you'll look very cute presenting as a female. You've got quite a bit of femininity to your facial features if you ask me. Removing eyebrow hairs from underneath and adding a slight bit more arch is going to help a ton to feminize your face. With longer hair, a little eyeliner, and beard shadow correction, I think you will be on your way to passing. HRT would probably be necessary too, because it would shrink the muscles in your neck. Posture and facial expression is something, too, that you can work on right away and will go very far :) Just start taking notes from cis women.

So you are at ground zero.  I think you will agree you have some shadows from facial hair, and heavy brows that need to be thinned (from the bottom) and arched.

You have a bit of a brow ridge; ffs may be in your future.  But your nose is neutral, and your chin not as blocks as many natal males.  Some things to work with, I'd say.

Nope - I was actually clean shaven for both those pictures. It's just a small mirror and I'm terribad at selfies. Probably would redo, but then again, I'd have to shave to do it. Lazy when dysphoria is low.

Thank you. My dad is from Bangladesh so body hair is definitely a problem for me. I know I need to get my eyebrows waxed and shaped and eventually I plan on doing laser hair removal on my face but I know it's expensive. i have my mother's cheeks and chin but my dad's forehead. I do have a thick neck but I'm hoping HRT will take care of that. My bone structure I think is pretty small or at least not man size. I was really skinny as a child but have gained weight over the years from bad eating habits. I'm trying to eat less and exercise more to fix that. What about my lips? I think they're my most feminine feature.

Totally agree! Looking at the picture, that was one of the first things that I noticed, was "those lips are going to look awesome on a female face!" One of the most masculinizing features of a face, which HRT does not generally fix, is flat lips with a big distance between the nose and the upper lip. And, well, you're definitely not going to have to worry about that!

From what I can see, your only really masculine feature is the brow ridge. But the rest of your face is excellent. Great cheeks, great nose, just in general a lot of femininity in there. Good starting point for sure!

Yeah even a brow ridge isn't always a pass-breaker. Not that I don't want to get mine corrected for myself, but it doesn't keep me from passing at all :)

Sometimes a prominent brow can balance a face somehow... I think it has a lot to do with the shape and proportion of the nose as well as how deeply inset the eyes are on the side of the nose.

Personally, Magnolia, I think it is hard to tell whether your brow will even be an issue w/ appropriate hair & eye makeup. Your whole face is pretty smoothly contoured. Your brow doesn't even look like it will for sure be a problem. I dunno exactly what it is, but I think you might make a really pretty female- possibly without any ffs. Losing a bit of weight like you mentioned + hrt might be all you need imo.

Sorry didn't mean to skip you LWhite and FrozenValkyrie :D

LWhite- I think your nose looks super feminine. It is hard to tell though with your lower face so obstructed as Jamie noted. But from the looks of it, I think you'll pass just fine.

FrozenValkyrie- I think with a little eye makeup you'd already be tipping the scales in favor of passing as female.

It looks like you have a rather sharp inset to your eyes from the bridge of your nose and the slight bit of blue discoloration naturally present in most people's skin there (the part right on either side of your nose next to your eyes) accentuates it a little bit. The same discoloration happens to me. This is easy to fix with a little corrector that is pinkish peach in color. Lots of cis women do this too. Looks like you could use the same shade of corrector to cover your beard shadow too, it looks like it's minimal (I really can't see it at all anyway). Then just get a really lightweight clear powder to set, and done.

That and a little eyeliner and I think you might be passable. Your facial features are already pretty feminine :D

Also, duh, almost forgot to add: get those eyebrows arching, too!

I agree, lots of people dislike their noses. My concern is, does my face make me clockable?

I had broken my nose when I was younger, so it is bent. It also causes sinus problems. I think, even if I wasn't going to transition I would still have to have Rhinoplasty. So my nose doesn't concern me for one day passing. My concern is more with hands, feet, and overall height. 6'4" standing straight and 6'2" with back arched

Hi ! I finally received my wig and i did a quick test with no makeup, bad shaving and a bit of color ajustement in photofiltre.
So what do you think of these pics?

First impression is androgynous, leaning male.  But it is fuzzy and indistinct to me.

I can very easily see your face being feminized cosmetically, without surgery.  Thing like thinning and arching brows. Some make up.  Facial hair removal.  You seem happy in your pictures - which is always attractive.

Thank you Jennygirl and Jamie D you words give me hope. I  thought it was impossible for me to be at least androgenous but it seems i was wrong.
It is difficult for me to do a proper makeup and get some feminine cloth because i live with my parents and they know nothing about my feminine side but next time i will do better pictures with a least some makeup and a better shaving.

Sammy, the first thing that I was able to notice is that you have EXCELLENT cheek structure. High prominent cheekbones. That is going to look great once HRT fills them out. You also have excellent eyebrows... a good arch, very long and feminine, and they are set high enough above your eyes that it will make them look nicely open and shimmering.

Your face also has a good shape in general. It's more short and round rather than square and angular, which tends to generate great results once HRT has feminized the skin texture. And speaking of skin, yours looks great already! Smooth, even-toned... HRT is going to make it look great!

As far as masculine features, the only ones that really stand out to me at all are the tip of your nose, which is just a tough big, and your hairline is definitely a little bit receded.

As a whole, though, I'd say that you've got WAY more feminine features than masculine ones, more than enough to balance everything out. You're going to do just fine. And considering some of the amazing transformations that I've seen from people with WAY more masculine features than you, you've got a lot to look forward to.

I look forward to seeing your progress once you really get going!

@Sammy: You may not want to hear this, but you actually look really good as a guy, too. Especially that last pic. :D

But yeah - I think you'll be just fine. Better than fine.
So, basically, take what Carrie just said and repeat it. Forehead should be fine - long hair makes it relatively simple to disguise the male hairline, as I have learned, much to my relief. :)

^Yup. Shining example right there. In fact, I was thinking "hmm, that hairline kind of looks like Zoe's" when I was posting.

@Sammy, I haven't really commented on the could I pass or do I pass because I am not sure I am that good at discerning well. You look well suited to transition. Your tapering jaw has that feminine quality. You have high cheek bones as do I, lucky us. Your eyebrows look femme & may only require a tweak of thinning. You don't have a very high forehead like one of my Sister friends, a good hairline. When you get some length you could perhaps style in a angle arc down across your forehead a little lower on one side. Just a thought.

You should put that last picture as your avatar. If your dysphoria isn't overwhelming you look good, better than your current avatar. When the estrogen works to the point you are looking female, then you could change the avatar. I posted a before and after, my male pic I was told I looked good, I appreciated the compliment. That is just me.

Looking forward to seeing your changes on your journey. All the Best.

Jamie

Yep. Although, one can kinda get stuck at a certain weight if one's not careful. I'm at 175 and aiming for 150 right now, which has been my state since last November-ish.

Sammy, we have quite a few MtFs here who have prior military service in the male mode.  That's nothing of which to be ashamed.

I think you have a facial structure that will be helped by HRT, and may never need FFS, though you may elect to do it.

Oh, I am terribly sorry for not explaining this - this picture was from WW2 reenactment event (I was in my denial mode then), so I am not actually a former military (I am officially in the reserve, but that is a peculiarity of our national armed forces system). The reason I posted, because I look like an ugly fecker there - nothing more :P.
As for not needing FFS - I do have very small bossing, so I might have to address that and besides I can find angles where I do feel very uncomfortable to look at myself, but I suppose even cis-girls can have those...

From that picture I don't see a prominent brow line, so I think you will do great on hrt.

I wish I had the courage to post a picture on here. I am too afraid someone will somehow find the picture and notice what site it is on and clock me. I am sure it wouldn't happen but I don't feel self confident enough yet. Almost all of my friends and acquaintances see me as more of "a man's man" as I discuss football games with them, watch same type of movies with them ect. I think mostly so I have something to talk to them about. When it isn't football season and I take a break from watching wrestling,  I am mostly quiet.

Hi Arno,

You look great! I think a bit less make up would show more of your natural face. I think your transition will work out fantasticly. IMO you should only consider FFS when you're on hormones for quite some time, as they can noticeably change how you look (softer face, fat redistribution etc).

Good luck!

im going to be honest with you. u need to tone down the makeup. you would pass 100% if u didn't use such long eyelashes, id recommend 120 ardell lashes u can get them from a drugstore, I use them and they are really pretty. don't use blue eyeshadow use brown. don't use red on ur eyebrows use something like dark brown or a lighter brown.

Post by: kyh on June 12, 2013, 12:27:40 AM
Like Angelique said, I think you could do with a more toned down makeup application. Right now your makeup is quite dramatic, and sometimes less is more. Try doing something a bit more subtle, and then see if you still prefer this more colourful look.

I don't think you would have any trouble passing, with a little work.

Longer hair, thinner arch eyebrows.  You already have a "soft" appearing face.  Hard to tell brow bossing from that angle.

Definitely! I really appreciate makeup looks like that. They're fun and can be really gorgeous. They do draw quite a bit of attention though, and that isn't always the best if one's trying to blend, right? For me, I often try to do something dark and interesting, but subtle enough not to really draw much attention. :P

Thank you very much for your comment is important to me.

Thank you for posting.  Your English is much better than my French!

Very few people who are born as males, and went through a male puberty, can seamlessly pass as female.  It is just what Nature does to us.

I am not sure of your gender identity.  If you feel you are a transsexual, then feminizing hormones will certainly help with the process.  If, on the other hand, you are transgendered, but do not contemplate fully transitioning (for instance, if you are a drag queen or an androgyne), then hormones and surgeries are optional, and at your discretion.

Hi. This is my first post to this forum.

I am curious...do you think it is possible that I could pass after HRT ?

Sarah you have very feminine delicate features already, eventually you might consider a rhinoplasty and possibly a tracheal shave if your adams apple protrudes. I don't see it in the photos, but I do see a potentially very pretty female in the near future and a smile would work wonders.

Just 5 months Mia?  Wow!  You are doing great.  I think you present in a very feminine way, though the last picture had a bit of "boyishness" to it.  Just the same, you are very cute.

Hi hi,

First time posting here!
I recently started transitioning and I hope to pass someday~
I am currently not "out" with most of my family and I have yet to venture outside of the safety confines of my home in "girl mode."

I clicked on the link and laughed a bit because I GENUINELY thought you were a cis girl, and a pretty one at that.  From what I can tell, you aren't going to have any problems transitioning physically  :)

Also, welcome to the community!

Edit: I should clarify, laughed because I was confused why a cis girl was posting here, wondering if she could pass.

I know it sounds weird, but it's the lack of highly masculine features that worries me a bit.  Most of the amazing transitions I've seen started off with either a highly masculine man, or a face that already looked like a normal girl's.  I'm somewhere in between, and semi-androgynous-to-female videos and photos are hard to come by.  :-\

Kaya - now, when the password works ;) - You are very pretty and from that angle You pass to me already!

Horizon - I am imagining Your middle picture with longer hair and it totally clicks for me! Dont worry, my face has been described as having more feminine than masculine features and I was told that I should be doing fine. At the same time nobody would describe me as a girl either :P. Besides, we both are kinda lucky, because we would hardly need any FFS, or at least not very extensive ones.

Because they're not impressive, as in, they were cute already. Cute -> even cuter isn't as impressive as manly -> beautiful. And also, probably, because there's a chance some "post-transition" pictures were actually pre-HRT, just changing clothes and putting on a wig and make-up, and then they passed completely, without any medical help whatsoever. That's just how lucky people like you are. You don't make picture comparisons as impressive as some others do, but it's the only thing they have that you don't.

Seriously, contrary to you, I have a rather masculine jaw and chin, and my face shape isn't exactly feminine. Despite that, on a dose of HRT crappy enough to give me zero breasts in 16 months, I've been passing without trying, while still living as a guy, for a long while. As long as your voice is fine, you have more chances of dying from being hit by a meteorite than having trouble passing. Really.

Thank you for your ratings :). I have now stronger feeling, that I should start hrt and be successfull. I am considering some herbal hrt in the beginning, because I have a fear from visiting a doctor and obtaining some prescription.

Sarah, herbal HRT is a waste of money and time. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but lets face it. If You have fears of visiting doctors and obtaining prescriptions... it is about time to start getting rid of them! Afterwards, You will be facing situations when You will have to use those prescriptions in pharmacies, facing pharmacists and buying female hormones... When Your skin will start to change, You will have to buy female cosmethics (moisturisers and such) and once again, at the counter You will be facing other people there. Frankly speaking, most of them will not notice and those who will, wont care anyway.
Besides, You are going to need doctor anyway - a lot of them :).

Hi Sarah  :)

There isn't actually anything such as herbal HRT, and whether or not specific herbs enhance or inhibit existing hormone levels is unproven

Your best bet is to visit your Dr. and start an actually HRT regimine

Hi, here are few picture, as usual i cannot use makeup because it take too much time and my mom doesn't seem to want me to be alone for more than 1 hour lol.
So I tried to do my best with what i had :(

You have a great foundation to work with and you def could pass one day but perhaps you could thin out your eyebrows a little bit. Just pluck a little (from the bottom, always the bottom) and do it little by little if you are worried about people noticing. But if you want to transition you will eventually have to tell people and they will eventually notice. Plucking you eyebrows though is no big thing and nobody will think you are trans because of it.

Thank you for you answer. I love this wigs too, i bought it on ebay for 40€ the best investement i did so far. For now i am not on HRT and i live in a very conservative family so i want to be sure that transitioning is a good choice.



E-Brennan - I really thank you ! I look forward to have some makeup i think i will have fun experimenting :)

Joanna Dark - I think you are right that a good idea i will try to do this litle by litle!

You have a good canvas on which to start the portrait of your life.

Obviously, removing facial hair, thinning and arching brows, and someday doing a trach-reduction will enhance the femininity.

Sarah, herbal HRT is a waste of money and time. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but lets face it. If You have fears of visiting doctors and obtaining prescriptions... it is about time to start getting rid of them! Afterwards, You will be facing situations when You will have to use those prescriptions in pharmacies, facing pharmacists and buying female hormones... When Your skin will start to change, You will have to buy female cosmethics (moisturisers and such) and once again, at the counter You will be facing other people there. Frankly speaking, most of them will not notice and those who will, wont care anyway.
Besides, You are going to need doctor anyway - a lot of them :).

Quote from: V M on June 17, 2013, 03:23:42 AM
Hi Sarah  :)

There isn't actually anything such as herbal HRT, and whether or not specific herbs enhance or inhibit existing hormone levels is unproven

Your best bet is to visit your Dr. and start an actually HRT regimine

Hugs and Best wishes

V M

Maybe you are right.
I want some "stealth" transition maybe without complete SRS (I have a wife and I am in very conservative enviroment), but what I need first is to visit doc. I emailed one of the doctors whose specialization is TS, I am awaitning an answer if I can have a consultation with her. I hope I will go over my fear.

Thank you all for wise words.

Good plan Sarah,
           Virginia and Sammy are right about herbals, tried them many years ago and you'd have to ingest a truckload each day to get any results and then that amount of herbs would be toxic in your system. You might see about getting on a light dose of feminizing HRT and see how it goes. I transitioned in stealth mode for the most part during my working life in a conservative environment and no-one picked up on it. Good luck and keep us in the loop now that you're one of our big family!

I think so, especially in that second photo where you look relaxed and happy and smiling.

In all of these photos (not just these specific ones, but those from everybody), the most passing faces are those where there's a smile. A beautiful smile helps in so many ways:

- physically, it draws attention to the center of the face and away from other areas that might not pass as well, and it pushes up the cheeks and reshapes the face to a slightly more feminine shape. Plus bright red lips are such a good indicator of femininity.
- mentally, it tells us that you're comfortable and happy, and that's 90% of the battle right there.
- socially, it tells us that you're open and accessible and someone we want to be around.

I find it really hard to look at a photo where someone is smiling and not see the inner person coming out. And I've been smiling so much more recently and noticing that people treat me so much more kindly and softly.

So I guess keep smiling, Nikki L! It looks really, really good on you.   :)

Links work.  You will do well with HRT, and perhaps some FFS touch-ups.

Post by: Carrie Liz on June 22, 2013, 02:54:26 PM
All right... so, I'm kind of tired of people telling me "you look great already" in my various venting posts. Yes, I agree with you, I do look fine in my avatar picture... which is one particular picture, from one particular angle, in very particular clothes, after several pictures where I was trying to find the right angle.

I'm way overdue to post some more-honest pictures, which will give everyone a much better idea of what I see in the mirror on a daily basis, and which are still sending me into depressive bouts where I feel like I'll never make it. And I still have my doubts about whether I'll make it or not.


First of all, here is the front view that you are all probably familiar with. And yes, I do like my front view. A lot. From this angle, you can see the femininity that is coming in, and it keeps getting better and better with every week.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi43.tinypic.com%2F63t0cz.jpg&hash=0edc989fc235f39abe18a62cf1102135ddfebf3f)

Here is a 3/4 angle. Here is where it starts getting a little less flattering. You can really start to see the thickness of my head, the heaviness of my brow, my gigantic Italian nose, and my stupid receded hairline.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi41.tinypic.com%2Fr8e7fa.jpg&hash=93425075305db5ba5f262f9d2c5519aa57dc2c3f)

...and here is where it just all falls apart. My stupid, stupid, OMG I HATE IT side view. Don't even get me started. My hair looks awful, my brow is so damned heavy, my neck and shoulders and arms are just so damned thick and heavy that I doubt it's even possible that they'll ever slim down and look more feminine, my nose looks awful, and my head is such a weird shape. I know that from this view I do not look the least bit feminine whatsoever. And this is the view that, by far, stresses me out the most. There are just so many features that I'm seriously doubting HRT will ever be able to fix. Mainly, I'm just stressing out about the bulk of it all. It just looks so big and hefty, while on women these features are small and soft and slender. So seriously... is there any hope of my neck and shoulders and arms looking like a female neck, shoulders, and arms? I'm having a hard time seeing how it's possible.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi41.tinypic.com%2Fs58yo5.jpg&hash=9fc8648a4136f33152b281073c050e571eaf19d8)

And just as a bonus, here is another thing that stresses me out to no end. This is the back of my head... the reason why I have to wear a wig. And while I have regrown some hair thanks to Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Rogaine, I still just have so damned far to go that, again, I seriously wonder if it'll ever be possible for me to grow a feminine head of hair naturally. I'm so freaking jealous of everyone else's hair...
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F1z6eibm.jpg&hash=7acca4dc10588e30c5b8cb49a92e3d55043b185c)

So, thoughts? Am I ever going to get there? It just feels like I'm stuck with all of these masculine features that will never go away. And this is 5 months into HRT, so I'm really starting to feel like the clock is ticking for these things to start changing if they ever are going to.

Carrie you are being way to hard on yourself. I think your face is more feminine than you think! Sure we all have things we wish were better I do to. But you must learn to deal with these things and accept yourself and love the person you are. You are drive yourself crazy with all this self hate.

Carrie,
You are by no means alone. I'm hiding a male hairline, monkey ears, and a nose that extends half an inch further than yours - and is as Roman as the Circus, to boot.

You'll pass - just as I'll pass - although we both may wish the service of the surgeon for nose reduction purposes.

Here's the most important thing to remember.  Everyone who is on HRT is constantly changing, and I guarantee you, they're all changing slower than they'd like ;)  It's so infuriating having to wait for something you've already waited for for so long.  You can definitely see the effects of the 5 months though.  Just keep in mind that that's 5 months of hormones working like made to reverse a couple of decades in the other direction.  Imagine 10 months on, those little female hormones are going to kick some butt and I bet you'll look great :)

God Carrie, your lips are so freakin cute!

You've gotta give those MPB drugs a chance to work, I've heard it takes a really long time to start seeing results. And plus those hairs have to grow out, too! Not like boom all of a sudden they will appear as the same length as the rest of your hair ;)

I know you hate to hear it, but give it more time girl! Work that front view and forget the rest. Hair/wig style will be your best friend until either the hormones take full effect or you decide to correct a few issues surgically. I think the only thing I notice that you might want to correct is your brow bossing, which you would also correct your hairline at the same time if you did that. There are many wonderful doctors out there that would love to help you out. Or you would probably do fine with a good hairstyle. Either way. You have a VERY feminine face if you ask me. Even the side view doesn't scream masculinity to me at all. For serious! I bet if you were smiling in that photo it would make a big difference!

Well it might be kind of hard to tell from the one pic alone, but there is something unmistakably feminine about your facial proportions.

If I had to guess, I'd say you'll probably pass!

Your face looks feminine with very nice lips and hair. My opinion is that you will pass without any problems:-)

Thank you everyone for the positive input, I'm glad I have hope after coming this far. I'm probably my greatest critic as everyone around me always tells me I look good and I think they are just trying to be nice to me.

I've been on a tiny dose for two months now, getting close to three. I'm seeing resident and intern doctors so I'm kind of their guinea pig, but its a good learning experience for them. The minion gives me all my great ideas. And I'm almost 29, so barely in the 20's.

Mariah, Yes. You certainly look beautiful and feminine.

I think your feminine appearance would be enhanced if hiding a little bit your forehead M line by changing your hairstyle slightly. This is just my thought, and I believe you can pursue your own unique beauty.

Have you ever read "Mom i need to be a Girl"?
I think i may use the same tactic that she used while coming out to her mother.
Heres the book. its a good read! Told from the Mother's point of view.

So I finally got around to taking a photo. Sorry for the horrible quality. I know there is a lot of work to do, but do you think I will have a chance of passing? I am nervous about it as I am already nearing 32 and I am not sure how much of a change I can expect once I start HRT. I am 5'7"-ish, 130lb. The hair came in a box as mine is in a pretty desperate in-between state :(

I love the hair/wig, looks really cute! Yup I definitely think you will :) HRT should help shape the bottom jaw - not the bone, the fat - and it will soften up your skin, and I think you'll totally pass well. I really think you're close as is.

Thank you all.
The wig... to be honest I don't remember. I went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday and picked it up becuase it was on sale and I thought it looked nice:). I do know it was French, but I suppose that doesn't help. I will check the brand when I get home tonight.

I am in my 30s and changing just fine. In fact I started passing at 73 days on HRT. That seems like awhile ago.

Danigrl, I saw that photo of you as your avatar a few days ago, and I was like "oh my, she's so pretty".  The larger version is wonderful - and you're sooooooooo pretty and look so happy!

If you don't mind me asking, how did your daughter take your decision to transition?  I'm in the same boat, and I have no idea how mine will react.  PM me if you like.

You look really nice right now, and that style of hair really suits you. HRT will only improve things, and at 5'7" and 130lbs, you've got a good frame to start working with.  I'm around 40, so you're just a baby still!

Yes I have.  The book is still in print, on Amazon, I believe for about $10.

"Just Evelyn" is now retired.  She was an electrologist in the San Diego area, as I recall.

Hi all, I'm seriously thinking about transitioning but am depressed that I'll never be able to fully pass.  I'm 27 years old and weigh 155-160 pounds! My main concerns are my broad shoulders and very "mean" looking face.  I also need to take a picture of my side profile as that view is quite masculine

I'm just depressed because this is something i feel like i need to do, it's just as a guy i would say I'm decent looking, but would make a very homely looking girl   :'(


We have all had those feelings at times about ourselves, I know I'm homely but so what? How many homely cis females do you see every day? You have a nice physique right now which could well be an excellent platform for a feminine figure eventually. You look good dressed en femme! Suffice it to say that you can do whatever you set your heart to Amber, so don't be so down on yourself that you stifle your own creativity.

Homely? Non-sense. I think you'd do just fine. You are lucky because many of us have to be HRT for a few months before we look as nice as you do in that last picture. Plus, don't let looks be the impetus for transition, instead focus on the happiness it will bring you becoming yourself :)

By the way, yes you look very nice as a guy  ;D

Hi Wynn. I think you could pass one day. Maybe sooner than you think. Passing is really quite easy, especially if you have a female voice to quash any confusion people may have about your gender.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It really gives me a much needed boost in confidence and helps me to think I may actually be able to pull this off. E-Brennan, my kids have grown up with my gender dysphoria. I have not been out to the world but have indulged at home. So far my kids haven't seamed to care. The older ones and I have talked and they tell me they don't care. It's been very helpful and affirming. Things are rough at times but we're trying to hold it together. I've been on hormones for about 5 months. And while I'm out to the world, I am not presenting female at work. Yet. Taking things slow and easy. Baby steps.

well imo you are already VERY close.

Perhaps in the first photo I would say the only main issue is the combo of posture and facial expression. With a smile, shoulders back, and hand on the hip I think you would pass as is.

The last two photos you have a much better feminine stance and body positioning which makes a huge difference, but you're still missing the smile.

Try on a smile ;D

Oh yeah... It's good!!!

Definitely a very great starting point!

You have already mentioned elsewhere that your hair is a problem, with differing lengths.  But the difference between a bad haircut and a good haircut is about a month!  And I know that you don't have a lot of disposable income right now because of the job situation.  So, that leaves out laser/electro for the time being.

How about thinning and shaping the eyebrows?  Moisturizing your skin.  Perhaps a little light makeup too.  Experiment and find your style now.

I've been pretty depressed lately because I don't feel like I'll ever really pass or be pretty. Yeah people say I look feminine and I get she'd and her'd and ma'amed and stuff but I don't know why. It's prolly cause of my height and perky boobs but what good are boobs when you look like a man? IDK do you think I'll get more passable or pretty at all with time? I'd like honest answers if you don't think I'll ever remotely pass, please tell me.

I figure the only reason I pass is the boobs. They're too big for someone who looks like a man.

I've been pretty depressed lately because I don't feel like I'll ever really pass or be pretty. Yeah people say I look feminine and I get she'd and her'd and ma'amed and stuff but I don't know why. It's prolly cause of my height and perky boobs but what good are boobs when you look like a man? IDK do you think I'll get more passable or pretty at all with time? I'd like honest answers if you don't think I'll ever remotely pass, please tell me.

No honey, there's no way that you look like a man, yes you have perky boobs, and that's cool, but that's not all of it. You look like a cis female to me kid, I know my stuff because I've been around for a long time and have surveyed a lot of cis females in my life and some of it I'm not proud of. You look nice honey, take it from me girl!

Joanna you don't look like a man. You said it yourself your getting ma'amed that's a sign right there. I got pretty big breast too and nobody's ma'aming me so yeah you pass girl enjoy it and stop making yourself miserable. :)

Joanna- you definitely look feminine. we usually can't see that in ourselves, which is the number one reason that this board is so great.

And this is my honest answer

Post by: Carrie Liz on June 28, 2013, 11:41:36 PM
Joanna, there is seriously NO male left in you whatsoever. I can't even see it. Looks to me like you've reached the magical phase where everyone accepts you but yourself, and the only reason you can't see it is because you were looking at yourself as a male for so long, so can still see the same features. And I saw your before pictures. You seriously do not even look like the same person anymore. You pass.

(Again, if people are calling you "ma'am" in public even when you're not trying, there's a very good reason for it.)

Oh gawd, my face looks so rough on that one side. I need a $1000 so I can resurface it and be pretty again.

Yeah I know I need patience. I've only been on HRT for four months and three weeks so it's not that long and I should prolly shut up as I'm sure some people get annoyed that I need this reassurance. I do feel a lot better now and more confident but for the last week I've been super depressed about how I felt I looked: a man with 36C boobs.

Mermaid, you're actually quite good-looking!  As for passing some day... yes.. I certainly think you will without problem.  Give HRT a chance to work for a while.. grow out the hair and shape the brows.. you'll do fine.

Post by: Sammy on July 09, 2013, 01:45:11 AM
Mermaid, You look quite young - I guess would be You are in Your early twenties, so You will have even better results out of the HRT. As much as I can see, You are another lucky owner of quite feminine jaw and Your chin is not masculine at all. Your face shape is very nice and gives in overall a round impression. I cant say anything about Your forehead or hairline, because Your haircut and picture itself sort of hinders those parts, but even if You have typical male M-line hairline, it can be concealed when Your hair will grow longer. I think You will look very pretty after the HRT and You probably wont need any surgeries on Your face either. And by the way, I vaguely recall watching some MtF transition videos on You Tube and there were a couple of persons with facial features very similar to Yours-  and they all ended good! Even very good!

let's see a before pic to compare them.  but with just the one pic, my take is that you're young, have a full head of hair, not too masculine of a face and it appears that your boobs are starting to bud. it appears that blue skies are ahead for you love. :)

Really since I'm looking at myself everyday I don't see the progress to much with the exception of my hair and the little boobies I've got now.

@Bardoux - You look so serious--smile a little in some of those. Other than that, I think you read pretty much female already. I don't think you'll have any problems getting to the passing point.

@Julie - Hah, that's funny I was just about to ask for a before reference picture when you posted. Are you sure you're not part ninja? :D  Anyway, let me just say wow! You really have progressed. Not just in your hair and budding booblets, but I also see a change in your complexion. It does look clearer and softer.

Julia: You look much different. Good progress but I think if you plucked your eyebrows you'd look more femme and if you grew you hair a lil more. It seems like you can now. These are things that won't make you irreversibly femme. Well as long as you don't go crazy on the brows.

Bardoux: You look like a girl in the last two images because you changed your presentation. I thik that is key with you too.

Vivian: You look female now. Cute, cute, cute.

Progress is indeed good, I was told by my friends that I should pluck or wax my eyebrows. The best part is my hair is starting to really grow in and faster too, maybe within a few months I'll have even better hair :D

Vivian- you look good! I think the only thing that needs attention is the Adams apple. I think you and I have the same brow ridge, where it's only visible at a very profiled angle. I'm on the fence myself about whether I'd want to get this fixed, but if I did, it would just be for myself, since I pass regardless (which I'm sure you do as well). And plenty of women have this bit of ridge prominence as well. And you're one of them!  :)

Thank you!

Sorry, but I have to disagree!  I don't see "a lot of work" needed.  Your face is already feminine.  You must have been naturally androgynous.  I would not mistake you for a man if I saw you on the street!

Vivian - yeah, already femme.  I agree with Dee.  Also, I suggest getting your ears pierced and arching your eyebrows.

One more thing ...  LOL Never, ever wear that friend's wig again!!  :o :o

Thank you so much for people's comments, really very much appreciated :)

Vivian: Love your name, and wow your eyes are gorgeous! Have you been on HRT long?

Alaia: I certainly will post smiles another time :), I just wanted to take a few today staring blankly straight ahead as i would on public transport. Getting a few inquisitive stares and wanted to get some understanding as what they were seeing.

Joanna Dark: I don't know if it's my personality or from working in design, but i guess i am one of my harshest critics. I'm afraid that should i put on makeup, and make an effort, that i might be disappointed by what i see looking back. When i see images of myself and see progress i can't keep the smile off my face, similarly when i get one of those photos and think oh, sigh, yeah.. i get down about it. At the last trans group meeting i attended, dressed in a feminine andro style, i was asked if i was FtM or MtF?

Jamie D: Thank you! Forgot to mention that i'm coming up to 5 months on HRT.

@Bardoux - About six months, maybe 5, as I've swapped to cypro recently and it's a bit below what's considered the normal dose. (Dosages are banned here, right?)
@Jamie D - Implying I'm not using that wig to go fulltime, lel. And as far as face and that, I should be able to afford FFS (Trachea shave and forehead reconstruction/brow shave) by the end of next year, so that's a plus.

I think You look quite cute already :). I see nothing that screams male to me - what I see is a girl with quite some " nerdy" side, but those could be the glasses :P. Your jaw seems perfectly female, You have nice and thick hair (I am assuming it is Your own?). You are already a bit skinny, so some fat on those legs will make them more curvy.
And as some sort of criticism - those socks look totally off to me :P

Yeah that's my own hair, trying to grow it out since I know that I have naturally thick hair. Also I think the glasses suit me since I do have quite some nerdy side as an engineering major  :D

Hi Ladies. I am 28 and very early on in transition. I am 6 months into therapy and not on HRT yet but have had two laser treatments and have my third this week. I am fairly tall at 6 foot and am stuck with big male feet which have both been something that has always scared me about transition. Please let me know your thoughts as to if HRT may be enough for me to really pass or if I might need some FFS as well. As of now I feel I am passing decently well in most casual environments but I think I am still getting clocked due to my height. These are my most recent pictures and are from an amazing trip I took with two of my best friends to New Orleans this weekend. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Hi all.. this is pretty much a first for me, putting myself "out there" -- I'm a long time lurker, still deeply in the closet and obviously pre-everything, wearing just basic makeup. I'm not 100% sure on where I plan to take this, but my gender dysphoria is getting worse over the years so I thought this would be a good start.

These were not all taken on the same day, please ignore the very limited wardrobe and wig :)
