Yea, you do, although you look young. BTW, I'm sorry about what I said in your last thread with pictures. I was kind of overly harsh when I shouldn't have.

Edit: Lol, the background looks interesting.

I don't actually remember what you said, but hey, at least you were truthful!
Better that than people being like "Oh, you pass so well!" when y'know you obviously don't.
But yeah, thanks!

You look 12-15... maybe that's accurate I don't know :P.  But as far as passing as a guy, I wouldn't guess from looks at all.

I liked your old hair; alas, what we do to pass.  You do pass, but look about 12 years old.  Once you get off the braces it'll add a couple years.

Which, of course, is the problem with these kind of posts.  All too often it seems to be assumed that passing is based on a photo and nothing more, when, in fact, people tend to judge gender by something like 18 different clues, and they do it in a split second, without thinking about it.  Its movements, and movement itself, gestures, posture - lots of things you can't tell from a photo.

Vesper: I'm 18.

Mr. Fox: I prefer the new hair by farrr :D

tekla: I definitely think I do (and always have for that matter) move, act and carry myself in a masculine way. It's just the voice and the fact that I look like a 12yr old that's the problem.

Based on your photo I think you definitely look like a male, maybe a 12-15 year old one, but male. Can't see your hips well in the photo but from what I see they look pretty small.

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky when it comes to my build. I'm not actually binding in those photos either.

I would agree with everyone else. You look really young, but I think you pass. At least as far as the pictures go.

I agree with everyone else.  You look young (which is a good thing, imo...or at least you'll see it that way in a few years ;)), but you pass!  :D

...I have to ask...what lives the cage behind you?  :icon_question:  I'm curious.  :D

If your passing as a boy, then yes

Don't think I have to offend you much, Giz... you look like a 13-year-old boy, as most of us tend to before we get on T. Definitely a boy, though. And if you're 18, at least you don't have TOO far to go lol... plus, you get the distinct pleasure of amazing people when they card you. I'm 26 and still get that, even with T's influence... people think I'm 17-19.

Chill haircut, by the way.

Cheers

One of the good things you look between 12-15 its that your voice can squeaky.

Lol, I know a 16 yr old that his voice its really high pitched.

Post by: Silver on April 17, 2009, 04:36:04 PM
Yeah, I think you do. As they said, you do look excessively young though. I like to give things percentages so I say you pass 70%.

I'd say more than 70%.  I used to pass about that much, and I looked way more like a girl.

My honest opinion is that you look androgynous, while leaning towards the male side. I think passing will depend on if you act and hold yourself more masculine. Because while you definitely have masculinity in your look it doesn't scream male. Just my personal opinion. :)

I like your haircut. You look cool

You definitely pass, but as a young teenager. It's still passing!

Great :D Shouldn't be *too* long before the braces are off!

I saw your pic and was like "What the hell is a 12 year old boy doing here!?" :P

You pass, although agreeably at about 12-15 years old.

I think part of it is that he makes funny faces in most of the pictures.

Haha, I'm not the most serious of guys.

I'll probably post more serious pictures when I can be arsed to take some :P

This is not something you hear too often, but I think you actually pass better when you smile.  At any rate, in all of the pictures except the last I would think "12-year-old boy".  The last would leave me wondering a bit.  Maybe because the expression is too old for your apparent age.
