Title: I know I probably don't pass but...
Post by: Sinead on October 30, 2017, 01:06:48 PM
Hey all! So I had my makeover today, it was honestly one of the best things I've ever done. I even went out in public, I know I don't pass, as I don't look female and I kept getting looks.

To be honest, passing doesn't mean that much to me anymore, I just want to be female, all of the time. (I'm contradicting myself with this next question) What do I need to do in order to pass?

Glad you had a great time, it's lovely being pampered isn't it :).

And the result... fantastic, looking totally fab. X

I'll echo what I said in another post.  I don't know for certain that you will always pass yet, but you are already beautiful.

Hi Nina,

Just like you I'm in Transition because I'm not happy with my current body, so I want to change so I could feel complete. That why I am talking to my Therapist to make sure about my mental state of mind. Good luck.

There are things you cannot change. There are thing you can change after a long time and many surgeries. You need to learn how to hide them - for instance broad shoulders can be visually put out of focus by different style of dresses. Hands better be hidden. Adam's apple can be covered with a scarf, a choker or a surgery.

Short of that, you look cute. Be confident and pleasant. Smile

A joke from my childhood. A womanizer meets a skinny girl.
- hey missy, do you have any butt?
- well yes, of course, how rude!
- then why don't you wear it?


That was a hint - When was the last time you see a black girl without a great butt? If you don't want to wear pads - then you need to wear a skirt with some flair, creating an image you have one.
