Title: Do I pass?
Post by: Xanderthevampireweeb on October 24, 2017, 04:14:53 AM
So today I was on the bus, and this chick kept asking if i was a guy, and when I said yes, she replied that I look like a girl and it kinda really totally cut down my confidence on passing. I'm pre T and whether or not I'll ever be on T isn't something I know right now (I can't go on it ANYTIME soon thats for sure), so I'd like somebody to be brutally honest on whether or not I pass well enough and maybe how to fix it or just pointing out key areas? idk anything would be appreciated!

I think you pass. You have a really good bone structure and jaw line that screams male. The only gripe is that hair on the face makes you look quite feminine. If you'd change that; maybe cut it shorter so you can make a quiff; I think less people would misgender you. The hair at the sides I think is the right length and suits your face shape.

I agree with Elis, you actually look really good for pre-T but the hair does look a little feminine. Try going for a shorter cut, look at what the 'in' style for guys is right now. A fade all around is pretty generic and seems like it's suit you and then just more off the top and style it in a quiff or back so it's not in your face? Play around with styles, remember hair grows quickly, don't get too hung up if you get it cut and don't like it, in a months time it will have grown back out.

I think you look like a 16 year old boy. If you want to look more masculine, get a buzz cut and maybe start working out.

Looks like you've got a great pre t look dude, the only thing is the hair -your bone structure is great and something shorter would greatly benefit you. Think close to my profile pic  you'd look more masculine with that imo.

You look like a guy to me. I wouldn't think otherwise if I saw you and didn't know you were trans. After hrt I think you will be very handsome.  You have a great jawline for a guy. The only suggestions I would make are shorter hair and some kind of facial hair. I don't know if they have like fake facial hair but some scruff on your face would make you totally passable.

You look too neat for a guy. Maybe shorter haircut, opening your forehead might help?

With T, you'd be totally passable, even without it now - pictures might tell a different story than real life observations.

I would suggest to hit gym and work on strength, if you can.

Forget that chick.  Chances are, you'll never see her again.

You look like a good-looking man to me!  Not every man has "a rugged brow, thick eyebrow ridges and a big nose."  I most certainly don't.

Besides, she was EXCEEDINGLY rude to ask you, a perfect stranger, such a personal question!  [emoji34]

If it was me, I would have either ignored her or got up and moved.
