Title: How far do I have to go?
Post by: Silver on June 04, 2009, 02:18:53 AM
So. . . This may be a bit annoying, but how masculine/feminine do you think I am? How for do I have to go? Any tips, things I should work on? General advice? I need honest opinions so I can evaluate myself properly. Well, I already know I'm pretty feminine. But I still need opinions.

You do look very young. But I can see now that T will really do wonders for you :)

A haircut will definitly help out.  Like Ngarehu said, you're not that feminine looking so the haircut will make you more male in appearnce.  And it would also be pretty much how u wear your clothes.

Yes, a haircut and binder are in order.  Also, wearing clothes that are not form fitting with help hide your curves.  Facially, T will absolutely help you, but i think you're too feminine looking to pass without it, at least as anything but a very young boy.

a couple of masculine things that you do posses are:
high(er than the average female) forehead
not a skinny nose
dont have those kind of cheeks that you want to pinch
thicker eyebrows

things that will help you out are strategic clothing to help hide your curves.  not sure if its your thing, but loose skater type plaid pants.  they distract from your curves.

a good binder combined with a dark patterned shirt will help with the upper body.

Haircut it is. I can't get my hands on a binder though. The clothes were a bit tight for more accurate assessment. I won't be able to pass without hormones, but I've gotta start somewhere. Thanks everyone.

You have great masculine features. I agree with everyone else, a haircut would do wonders as well as a good binder.

I would suggest a straightening iron as much as a hair cut.  That androgynous rock star hair does wonders...sometimes even more so than a super-masculine cut.  :-\
