Title: Do I Pass?
Post by: twentythree on May 03, 2016, 02:01:39 PM
I'm new so move my topic if I posted it to the wrong subforum, but there are so many options~

here is my face:http://i64.tinypic.com/208xzc6.png (http://i64.tinypic.com/208xzc6.png)
Anyway, I've gone out in public a few times and have been gendered correctly, but usually have little to no interactions with people.  If I need to order something, I'll write down my order on a piece of paper, so not to 'blow my cover'.
But online, I've had a few people anonymously say things like 'genuinely can't tell if male or female' or people will comment on my nose or eyebrows.

I'm wondering what features I could maybe hide with hair or makeup if needed?

You look nice :)

Try to relax a bit and try to feel feminine ... as a natural feeling ... it will show to the outside.
It may make for an even nicer look.

You could try voice training, its reading a book for example in a bit higher voice regularly. It may take some time, but with some people it may show results fast, for example people having experienced voices from singing.
Just don't overstrain your voice, simply stop then.


hugs

Hi Twenty Three,
Wow, you look great as you are.
There is nothing I feel I could advise you on.
You are very attractive.
Sue

Welcome to Susan's Place. I don't know if the people online are aware of your status, but if they aren't I am unsure why they would question your gender. Your face appear very feminine but the one thing I might suspect is makeup. A camera lacks the color sensitivity of the human eye so in professional photos heavy makeup is often used to make it show up in the picture. Because your makeup is well defined in the picture, you may need a lighter hand when applying it. The trick to using makeup is to make it appear like you aren't using makeup. This may not be possible if you haven't had facial hair removal.

You look fantastic!

people online are always going to say things that bother you. I have a youtube channel full of skate videos and every one of them have hateful comments. I just don't even acknowledge those people.

Just keep doing what you're doing, I happen to think you're way pretty.

I'm just going to echo the others here - you look stunning!

I believe Dena is on point. Going lighter is easier said than done when you're covering up that bear shadow, but I tend to go lighter on other parts of my face.

Agree with Laura - you look beautiful outside, maybe relax on the inside and let your femininity shine through. You're so pretty!
