So I got my haircut today :p and although it doesn't look terribly different its on its way and its much more feminine than before at least.
so I decided to take some pics and get people's opinions, I have done everything I can think of without hormones and want to get the best feel for how well I can expect to pass.
so enjoy!

blegh I personally don't see anything but boy in every pic but I am too accustomed to my face to make any real discretion.
I like it. :)
I'm not sure why but you kinda remind me of > http://www.youtube.com/user/debutantebrawl (http://www.youtube.com/user/debutantebrawl)
About 6 years ago I had all my hair cut off in the middle of a very life changing time and I donated it to locks for love. As I grew it back out I had a style very much like yours. I like it, I think it frames you face nicely.

XXOO
I would so definitely ask U out ;D
....giggle........ tee hee!
Looooove it =D
aw thanks everyone^.^
I just read you aren't on hormones? Well girl don't worry, I think you'll be super pretty once you are on hormones.
I only have to say you could try thinning out your eyebrows. I've "cleaned" mine up by getting all the strays first. Then decided I was ready to shape them. I trimmed them (with help on the first time lol) and then I shaped them (again with help) and I think it's made a huge change. :)
Also, eye liner on top of your eyes would make you look more fem, that's what my bestie always said before I could do it on my top lid.

I agree. Eve is already cute. The prospects for what hormones would do is staggering.
I even think I have good prospects for transition, and I'm ugly.
nope not on hormones yet :p
but yeah I got the brows waxed about a month ago, guess its time to get that redone haha
also I have the hardest time with eyeliner, it feels so weiiird to put on, like Im poking my eye, guess i gotta learn :p
Giiirl trust me it is hard and I swore I'd never get it, but then one day I kept practicing and realized ->-bleeped-<- I got this down! woot
cuuute! i love the hair, it reminded me kinda of an old school style of hair, like from a few decades ago, but that's a good thing! that type of hair is totally beautiful looking.
(p.s. i like that white flowers shirt in the last few pics :3 )
I truly wish I could see the girl in these pictures and not just the boy trying to be one :p
I cant quite pin it but theres something thats giving me away, i notice it the most in the side shot, but idk what it could be.
Definitely more feminine hair. Having bushier eyebrows means there is more to work with to get a larger arch than my thin ones can, so I wouldn't be too concerned about them.
All I can see is an attractive young woman...especially in that first pic. I thin that hair cut really suits you hun.
I really like your hairstyle.As far as makeup (eyeliner),It just takes a bit of practice.I had several "raccoon moments" until I was able to get it ;).I agree with everyone else that after you begin hormones,you will see a vast difference.
Hugs,
Suzi S.
Your hair looks really nice.
But remember the Susans' addage, You're your own worst critic.
Thank you so much for sharing these. It's good to see you.

Hey now! Don't be so hard on yourself babe. Look at me; I've been on hormones for 4 months (full time after about 1) and numerous people on Susan's tell me if they didn't know I was trans, they probably wouldn't guess. And I've had friends tell me they're friends/family/etc were shocked and couldn't believe I was trans. Now...you tell me what you see. Boy or girl? I can assure you that I still see that sad little boy that I hated so much. But I'm learning. Idk how old you are but I identified (wrongly -____-) as a male for 19 years. I looked in the mirror, and at pictures etc and knew that I was Michael, a boy. That never made me very happy so I tried to ignore it lol.
So what I'm saying is, you look good for this point in transition, I think you're doing great so far. =D Wait till you get on hormones =D
btw here's a picture of me pre hrt

Chose this one because I'm wearing a ton of makeup, it's a cute picture, and I just feel like it's the most feminine I looked pre hormones. =/
Wow, I wish I looked as feminine as you do pre-hormones Eve! You're a lucky girl!
...If I could make one suggestion...
I think that one of the things that get Tgirls clocked easiest is posture. I noticed that in several of your pics (especially the profile view that you mentioned) your shoulders are slouched and your head hanging forward and down. SO MANY of us carry this posture throughout transition and beyond.
Try this in the mirror... stand up straight, shoulders back and boobies pushing out (ok, pretend for now) your head up straight like you were trying something to balance something on top... Be confident! This transition stuff is 75% attitude! ;-) Take some pics with that in mind and I think you'll be pleased with what you see :-)
I do think you have features that will react very well to hormones, though... I especially like your eyes.

Once you've had to put it on every morning before work it kind of gets a lot easier :)
it looks good and yes, much more feminine
I'm hoping most of the posture has to do with me looking down at my short girlfriend taking the pictures. :p
but I see what you mean. I've worked on my posture a lot lately, mostly with sitting straight up in chairs and the like, it feels very awkward to straighten the head though, I also dont like how much taller I feel haha,
Your lucky with dark facial hair it works best for laser hair removal. They can cost as low as 50.00 a session. With testes removal or taking spiranolactone your bone structure will stay the same and so your very very lucky not counting your height.

I try to think that I'm lucky with taht but i get nervous taht I'm setting myself up to be let down :p
either way thats the route I think im gonna take, even if laser isnt 100% permanent I need reduction fast since I cant seem to ever shave it clsoe enough. and I will no be able to go out in public untill its gone :p
I think ur hair looks marvelous on you

I like your hair :) The only thing I don't like is your posture, but I only say so because you asked about what gives you away. I think rather progressively and will see you as you wish to be seen.
As for beard shadow and going outside, I don't like caking on makeup, but the coverfx cream 3 in 1 foundation does a good job of covering everything it touches. It can even cover a tattoo! (why do I feel like their spokeswoman?). I just bought some last week. When you cleanse your face, try not to use things that will shrink your pores such as astringents and acne medications, as they exaggerate beard shadow. You look like an E30, I'm an E40 (those are the color codes).
Hi Eve;
All I see is a cute young girl. Maybe a little tomboyish but still a very cute young lady. I love the new hairstyle.
Hugs
