Title: Quick question
Post by: Tad on October 17, 2011, 04:27:02 PM
Keep getting told in real world I look adrogynous (girlfriend... grrr.). She says she bets the only reason I get ID'd is so that people can figure out my gender. She says my voice isn't masculine, despite the fact that it's right smack dab Tenor range. It's starting to get hard to brush off, making me paranoid. Anyhow, ignore hair/what I'm wearing.. body figure and facial features.. are they really that adrogynous, more feminine, more masculine? Don't be nice.. tell me how it is.

I had to re-read your post a few times because I was confused by the question...(because from that first picture I assumed you natally male.) I don't really see anything androgynous about you....perhaps the way your standing in the full length pic might be taken as kinda femmy...maybe....

What I hear more than that though...is that your GF is too close to "the truth" and can't see you beyond that. She knows your past, she's seen you naked (I assume...) and so can't see your passability. That's not a bad thing, or to say anything against her at all...it's just something that people need to be aware of that in themselves. I know that for me, my mate (MtF) can't really pass or not pass with me...I know her all too well. I've seen this whole transition from beginning to current. (can't say "end" because it never really ends...) She'll ask me if she passes on any given day and I truly have no idea. I can't say. She's...her. All I see is her. I can't see male/female pass/no pass.

Had I just seen your pictures alone, I would have never thought you were trans.

People who know us have a hard time seeing us in our "new" gender. You look great.

You look pretty masculine to me and 'well hard' as we say here in London ;D Look handsome too and that's coming from someone who doesn't normally say that about men.
