Thanks guys that really helped.

Alex I don't pluck my eyebrows at all. Maybe I should to make them look more white so they don't stand out or something.

Jack I think the reason why I'm being so hard to myself is because I'm vary depressed due nobody at my school views me al male and I don't know what to do. You are right I should do this pass thing for my self.

You look like a handsome young dude to me; if I was younger...

Edderkopp Then I will just be Mr. Fuzzy-guy

Dylan pass in the 2. picture, but not the first. You just look butch.



So how do I look? (yes maybe the fake facial hair was too much)

Its all about the hair on your head ^.^ I can see the potential in your face though.

SparrowHawke, You remind me a bit of Sid from the first series of Skins

DrillQuip, absolutely a guy.

Sid from Skins is cute.  Sparrowhawke, you could DEFINITELY pull that look off!

Drill you look like a dude.

So I took your advise. I took my step-dads glasses and dried my hair brown.

My Sid look

My normal look

Without glasses

I think you are on the right track!  Hope you are feeling better.

Hey guys, I haven't been around the boards in a while due to starting college (which has been absolutely a wonderful experience so far). I think I am about 7 months on T or something like that, I sort of lost track after four months. But lately I feel like my chest either got slightly more masculine due to subtle effects of T, or other parts of me changing just makes them seem more masculine. But anyways I am wondering if they pass without a binder and just wearing an a-shirt. I am kinda skinny so I think even though they appear to be sort of like pecs, they probably don't completely fit with my body type. But I am just wondering if they are in some sort of male range, like a guy with gynecomastesia or something. I want to be able to walk out of my dorm to the bathroom and maybe even exercise without wearing more layers than necessary.

I made it as a video because I'm thinking it would be easier to tell than just snapshots.


Thanks so much in advance, guys.

Sparrowhawk, I like your last picture. You look masculine there to me.

I'd post a picture but I'm worried that my picture would be seen by others in real life. Plus I'm not that confident. So, any tips on passing in general?

Henri, you're definitely lucky to have a chest that looks like that without a binder, unfortunately, I think you should still wear one. Maybe it's because I was looking for it but I thought your chest looked too rounded from the front and stuck out a little too far from the side. You look great otherwise though!!

Thanks guys, just needed some feedback since I've never actually asked anyone if I pass or not. Now if I could just lower my voice, or learn sign language, I'll be all set.

SparrowHawke:
Perfect. All those photos of you look 100% masculine to me.
and thanks. I appreciate the feedback.

Henri:
I think you'd pass pretty well without a binder. At least if you were going out to shop or whatever and people weren't seeing you up close. But I think a binder would be a good idea for up close encounters just to be safe.

I say this mostly out of personal preference I guess, because my chest is also pretty flat without a binder. But it's nice to have the extra security.

EdwardBane:
If you post a picture from a site like photo bucket, you can always remove the image later if you want to be private. Otherwise, the general rule of thumb for me is short, dark hair and no makeup.  Check out guys in real life and magazines for men. See what styles would work for you.

DrillQuip: Thanks, I will take your advice. 

Sparrow ... you really do look like that Sid character! I think the darker hair works. Everyone has told me I pass better with the darker hair as well.

Drill ... I'd definitely think dude if I saw you on the street.

Henri .... I also wish I had your chest! From the side it actually just looks like you have nice pecs. But I think the "illusion" of that is problematic only because you don't have the big guns that usually accompany a dude with pecs like that. It's not like you'd have to be totally ripped though. You have a nice body, if you worked on the upper body some I think you could totally pull off not biding after the chest/arm muscle development.

Here's a pic I took of myself today. Haven't combed or washed my hair in like 3 days. Although I did straighten it 3 days ago, I've just been waking up and running my hands through it. So how's the messy hair change my look? More andro-femme or andro-dude?

Henri, you pass in my book, too.  In fact, it's amazing how well all of you guys pass.  My ex passed so well, I didn't even know he was trans until he told me after the 3rd date!

Inside You look male to me, but then again I thought you looked male when everybody said you didn't pass so I might not be the best person to ask.

Also everyone keep saying I look masculine, but does that mean I pass or not?

Thanks Sparrowhawke ... and I'd say your last pic without the glasses and the first pic with the glasses and beanie you look like a younger guy ... maybe teens. I think you have more masculine facial structure which will be accentuated if you do get on T. And if you get on T and start to grow noticeable facial hair I don't think you'd have a problem at all with the longer hair. Obviously I'm not the best guy to ask about the hair thing since, well you know I'm rocking the longer hair lol

It's okay I look like I'm in my teens because. Well I am in my teens. Late teens anyway. Thanks Insideontheoutside

Sparrow, you pass without glasses to me.

You look like a young man to me. There's not a lot of room for androgyny in this look imho.

SparrowHawke: I see what you mean. To clarify, when I said masculine I meant in the sense that you look like a young man. I forget sometimes that some people are masculine without seeming male though. Something to remember.
