Thanks
You look really young, but you look like a young guy and not a young girl. :)
Thats nice to hear I look young though. Its not the first time i've heard that, thanks :)
Personal info removed
You definitely look like a guy. But I'd probably put your appearance age at around... 14. So, if you're 17, that's not TOO far off. :) Lucky.
oh man
D:
I hope testosterone will change this :)
T would probably really do good for you, especially cause you're starting from pretty boyish anyway. And pre-T, those who can pass almost always look younger than their age. It's just kinda how it works, so don't worry about it too much. :D
I'm thinking about going around and doing a survey, asking people if they think i'm a boy or girl
Well something like that would probably be skewed if you asked people in-person. Because chances are your voice would still give you away and people would respond girl just because of that.
true, do you know if someone that is a paranoid schizophrentic would be allowed to take T?
BTW here is another picture of me

I'd say you do, but a great deal about passing is about how you present yourself in the physical world, not just photos from specific angles.
It's not just a picture deal, it's a total package, there are lots of things that serve as 'clues' in our determination, its not just a facial look, or clothes.

I agree with this, and also, just the fact that you're asking, would probably make people think twice and go "Oh, I thought that was a boy, but since he's asking... maybe he's a girl after all?" Just sayin'... :)

I could tell more by how you pour and drink a beer (or anything really) than by a picture. And I could tell it across a dark bar.
def pass just by looking
Mark

You look pretty passable to me.
But yeah, whole package and all that.
Yup. Young though but a dude!
Jay

it probably depends on how in touch with reality the person was and if the gender issues are stemmed from something other than "GID"
I agree with everyone else, I'd say young guy but mannerisms/voice could tip people off.

Greys of the world unite! Heh, sorry, that's my first name. It works really well for having others think of you as male while being ambiguous enough that if you're not 'out' to to your family, they don't really question it.
The little things count, just as all the experienced men here have mentioned. But you do pass IMO, anywhere from 14-17 is what you appear. :)
You look like a guy that was in my class a few years ago! You look about 14-15, but definitely male! You look cool.
I don't think you look like a boy at all O_o

Meh, now I'll agree that his features are generally pretty feminine. But what people are seeing as male is the slim face, since men just tend to have vertically longer faces (that are larger overall anyway. But young boys don't have huge man-faces.)

I disagree, he looks like a girl and not even a tomboy or a lesbian like many people sometimes look.
Especially in the first photo where he looks very girly.
I will take the very back and say not so much due to the hair style and maybe cloths, be he looks quite girly in the way that he doesn't want to be seen.

Alright. It never really seems that people have the guts to say that someone doesn't pass. So it's cool that you do. I think I'd be confused, then assume male. But I go to a high school, and feminine guys aren't too uncommon. I think I'm just used to it.
