Hard to say which is better. I presume the fringe is a clip on, if so you can just add the fringe whenever rather than committing to cutting it. But even if you cut it, eventually the length will grow back anyway.

Choice is yours at the end of the day. I'd say you look great in both.  :)

You suit both, with and without! My hair is similar to your first photo at the moment though definitely will seriously think about fringes at some point. I think the first photo is more natural though the fringe does look good. I'd post photos of myself at the moment though as I outline below the collage, I definitely would like to get further into transition before I do so. Here is a little collage of fringe inspiration that might inspire you (& anybody else I guess) in some way, in regards to fringes, images courtesy of marieclaire.co.uk (I've combined them into a collage, photobucketed them) :) :

From top-left clockwise, Zooey Deschanel, Suki Waterhouse, Jessica Chastain, Kate Moss, Emma Stone, Alexa Chung!

I was just looking at a thread you made in November 2012, www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,130222.msg1032304.html, just literally in the last half hour or so - I then looked at your profile which told me 'you were making a new topic'...was curious about the new topic, and so here I am!
You mention that you weren't allowed testosterone blockers from the NHS earlier in your transition in that topic, in late 2012, I'm in exactly the same position now! early 2015, I'm 25, (my guesswork is that you're now about 18), so I was reading that topic nodding my head, thinking 'yes I feel the same!', it's very, very, very frustrating. I have no idea how long I'm supposed to wait to get onto blockers, estrogen properly, potentially could be a 12 month wait...I guess I have no choice but to be patient...100% inspiration you are!

Awk thankyou! Yes I came out to the nhs at 13 they gave me therapy, told me I was 100% transsexual and that they believed me ect but they waited until I was 15 for any form of physical intervention. It's excruciating for me to even think about let alone type so id rather leave the topic there lol but from what I've heard after 16/18 the wait should be shorter :)

Both suits you, but I think I like without a little bit better :P

You look wonderful in both, but I like the without slightly more than with the fringe.

I think you look great with or without! I use mine as a passing tool.. lol! Without my brow area covered I look much more male.. you have no problem with that. You look great either way! But my cis friend recently got fringe and she is having a hard time accepting it! lol! It's a commitment! XD

You really really great either way, but I like your face without the fringe (or bangs as we Yanks call them [emoji1]).  It suits you better.
