Hey everyone :)
Beeing on holidays in a mediterran country for the last week, sadly as boy still, I noticed some strange(or nice :D ) situations.
It was like nearly all the time when I got into a male restroom and stood there washing my hands and whenever some other guy came in, he seemed surprised, nearly closed the door again, looked at the sign and came in confused. :D
My appearance seems to have changed much because of hrt and weightloss, but I haven't thought that these situations would come as soon. This is how I look: http://imgur.com/a/n9Xza (http://imgur.com/a/n9Xza)
I don't feel like waiting for going fulltime any longer, as it is a huge cause for depression, however I always fear not beeing passable enough :/ Somehow this situations now made me think a bit different in this aspect, but still, maybe I just exaggerate :D

I can see why, you look like a chick!
Mmm while everyone's body is different you have next to no visible male traits remaining, depending on how you present yourself you probably only have a couple of months left where you can realistically present as a male. As you are now it wouldn't take much for you to be read as female...
I will note you might be misgendered at first regardless of how you physically appear because natural nervousness will draw attention to yourself.
Chris, Yes indeed you look just like a young girl. Lucky you.... ;)
Pebbles - love the red hair. :)
Chris you do look, from a still shot, very passable. You will likely remain your own best critic but please do get on out there FT and let that depression fade away......... Our fears get magnified in our creative minds. Imagine another day.

I don't know how you walk and speak - so I can't really tell you how much you might pass. But from the pictures I understand why the guys were confused: You look like a girl in men's clothes.
I agree with Tessa: Go fulltime. Train how you present yourself. From the pure looks you already pass.
If I had a dollar for every cis female I will encounter in the day that only looks obviously female thanks to breasts.....
Frankly you look more attractive than most females, but then I of course blame that on females taking their femaleness for granted and they do NOTHING to reinforce what they consider already patently obvious.
I sure wish I looked as female as you do.
Yer young, enjoy your hair. Try passing with male pattern hair loss sometime :)
