Okay I'll just be honest.  You're really cute, maybe because you still look young. I was like "is he trying to pass as a girl?" before I saw your username.

I think the way you dress will be a major deciding factor when people gender you. If you wear neutral outfits like a hoodie, it makes it harder. But some guys are just jerks anyway, and they could be catcalling you (thinking you're a boy) to tease you for how attractive you are.

I will agree with Mariah2014 on hair style. I cut my hair 2 weeks back and I was crying when I saw how much more masculine I look. Haircut can make a big difference.

Hair, clothes and attitude (swagger) all make a huge difference.

I'd say if you were to go for a haircut, don't go too short or it could go the other way and make you appear like a butch female, although I'm not telling you to cut your hair.

Some things, as far as passing goes, need to change massively when people transition FTM or MTF, but you don't have to. Whatever you're comfortable with.

Well,  you're upside-down.   I'd probably say "hey,  that boy is upside-down. "  sorry.

Justin,
Just like mtf it's how you carry yourself.  Watch how john Wayne walks.  He walks with his shoulders being pulled like a rope is attached to his shoulders pulling him forward.  Girls walk like they're being pulled by the waist.  Walk down the street like it's your street and you're allowing everyone else to use it.  Be kind, sincere and sweet, but be confident.  Pull the trigger.  Don't sit on the fence about little things.  If the little things don't fly then have an attitude of Eh.. Who cares about the little stuff.  Cherish your woman by opening doors, keeping her warm, making sure her voice is heard, and listen when she talks.  Call bs when there's bs.  Solid eye contact like you're looking through the other guys and good solid hand shake that is firm and web to web.
As for looks don't try.  Be clean and smell good , purposely don't match a little and don't look in the mirror, guys don't care about that.  A short tight fade hair cut helps,  as well as an eyebrow pencil.  Thick and hearty eyebrows help.
Study the way manly men move and talk, don't mistake douchebags as manly men though.   Don't emulate boys though, they're trying to be men as well.  Lead the pack, don't follow it.  It's all confidence not so much looks.  Any guy looks good if he's confident.  Just be confident and have an I got this attitude.
I hope that helps.
Xx:)
