Title: does my sex seem obvious to you?
Post by: xrae117 on December 04, 2015, 03:50:18 PM
Trying not to get pegged as "biologically" male or female  ??? (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi67.tinypic.com%2F13z4xf4.jpg&hash=bb8aaf444f55906d334c2bf0c064bb0cd0882549)

Hi xrae117
Did you try to post a picture of yourself? You need to have made 15 posts before you can do that. Maybe a description of yourself instead? I am sure one of the mods will be along to let you know the details

It's up now. This is my first time using the forums and I'm a little slow and using a cellphone. It's sideways though

The only thing that might make me guess one way or the other is the haircut.

I am not certain to be honest LOL.  But if I had to I would say male only because the haircut leans in that direction.

When I look at your photo, I think "male," as you still seem young enough not to have much facial hair growth.  I agree that I get kind of a masculine vibe from your hair.  If you're striving for more ambiguity, maybe shape your eyebrows a little, or just add a touch of makeup or some accessories, a little jewelry, perhaps.  It won't take much, as you're only trying to balance out very subtle masculine cues.

Welcome to Susan's Place. Because the picture is of yourself, it may be displayed as you did it. Your avatar can't be changed until your reach 15 post. As for the picture, The lack of facial fat and short hair make me say male but HRT and a different hairstyle would quickly say female. You appear to be very young and sex hormones haven't altered your face very much yet so it could go either way. Getting in to therapy and on the proper form of HRT should be a priority for you if you wish to make the transition as effective as possible.

You look pretty androgynous. I think the decider would be height and mass if I saw you myself.

I not really sure but I would say Male because of the hair cut.

+1 however I think the hair is the only thing you should focus on right now :) Grow it out a bit? You look good.

Although your face has obvious male and female traits I would say male. If your hair was longer I think it would help achieve an androgynous look

Hair aside, your face looks like a young guy's.

I would say you look male because of your eyebrows and haircut, luckily those are easy fixes.

Obviously a biological male. Reasons are as follows:

Forehead shape, square around the edges.
Brow Bossing
Nose shape (female nose shape tends to be in the form of "S".
Low cheek bones
Lack of facial Fat

Otherwise your chin and jaw line seem to be fine.
