Title: Me before HRT.
Post by: MeTony on February 04, 2017, 04:41:12 PM
So. Here is my pic.

Before starting any HRT.
I often pass as a guy already. I copied my ID from work. Not the entire ID, just the picture! :D what do you think? Are people just nice to me or do I pass in your eyes too?

What will HRT do to me if I eventually start taking hormones. Will I look older? Get heavier bone structure? What?

Maybe it won't be hard to come out when I look like this already.

It's hard to say how you will turn out but you look like a very young male who's face hasn't seen much in the way of testosterone. I can see why you may be gendered male much of the time.

Thank you Dena. I often have to show ID when I buy tobacco. It's 22 years since I was 18. Haha

I can see just your facial features being either way. With your hair cut being short and male behavior you could be a young man like Dena said. I'd guess you should get ID checked at a bar for sure.

Yes. I get my ID checked. Once the police looked at my driver's license 3 times before he decided to believe it is me on the license. He looked very suspicious at first. I have a woman's name on the card.
