Title: Do I pass?
Post by: GammaHunter on May 29, 2015, 07:01:35 AM
I was just wondering, since I can't get an honest opinion from anyone, would you lot mind telling me if I look masculine/boyish? Just for the record, I'm FtM.

I saw the picture before I read your comments, and thought, yeah, you don't really pass as female.  I then realized my own mtf bias is showing.

Definitely a pass as a boy!  [emoji4]

Hey Gamma! First off, I see you're fairly fresh here, so welcome to the forums! To me I read you as andro, but if you ever want to check in again without making another topic later down the road, you might want to check the "Do I pass?" thread for trans guys, here: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,170914.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,170914.0.html)

The guys there are usually pretty honest, and if the news isn't good (e.g. they don't believe you'd be consistently read as male or at least andro) they're always willing to give suggestions on how you might push yourself toward a more masculine appearance—hairstyles, clothing/sizing choice, helpful/unhelpful accessories, etc.

Totaly look like a boy. I wouldn't use the word masculine, since the kind of masculinity that u display in the picture is very "young", so I will agree with some of the posts before me and say that you look 'boyish'.
But I do think that you deff pass!  :)

Totally boyish to me.

for some reason, when I doubt myself, I use the following tool to decide.

https://www.rekognition.com/demo/face

The app analyzes the face and gives a score between 1 and 0.  1 = boy to 0 = girl. Before my transition, I was always scored at 1. Gradually it came down to 0. Not saying the reading is accurate, but it helped me get the confidence to go full time.

PASS ??
Well you had me total totally fooled.
I looked at your photo 1st before reading and thought I was looking at you as a biological male before transforming to female. 

Go forth you dashing young gentleman.

I use the face recognition sites like rekognition and how-old. However they aren't infallible. I gender female or ambiguous without even trying these days. However I still see "him" sometimes.

Upon opening this thread I immediately saw a BOY!

In fact I thought you were a boy who was asking if he's passable to become a mtf, lol!
