Thanks, any suggestions on how to pass more? I've been stealth but I still get her'd and she'd by the call center agents when I have to go fix their computers. Maybe it will change when I get more facial hair *fingers crossed*

That might just be voice-related I'm guessing. I think it's hard to do much about that other than wait for T to deepen your voice. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion though. Also, the lighting is kind of dim in those pics. It might help people to see and make suggestions with brighter pics.

Clearer pictures, okay. Yeah, those were taken with my laptop camera. ^_^'
Thanks, Dalebert!

@Ty: I don't know how old you are, but you just look like a high school guy to me, in fact I can think of several guys I went to high school with that if I had seen your picture, would have thought you were their younger brother.
You haircut works, your face shape a lot, and the small thin chain you are wearing really seems very masculine to me.
I'd like to see a picture of you smiling, instead of the same expression in both pictures, if you want me to be entirely honest.

KyleXX: My moms setting up an endo appointment hopefully soon, Ive been waiting sooooo long im dying!!
Make_It_Good: Thanks! yeah ive been told that, my friend calls me spidey because he thinks i look like a young toby mcguire haha

Ty, you just look like a really young guy to me. If I recall correctly, you ARE a really young guy, so I imagine that shouldn't bother you.

Have I missed something or has this been destickyfied?  Maybe sleep deprivation is making me go mental...

And Ty, you pass awesomely as usual!  So lucky!

I thought you were on T?  The gel kind.

Andy: yeah but 1) it does barely anything and 2) i dont really use it consistently because of 1. so i dont really count it lol

If you'd use it consistently you would see results, maybe just not as quick as injections.  You can't not use it and then complain that it doesn't work.

My understanding is that with the gel (correct me if I am wrong) you need to use it every day. Obviously missing once or twice wouldn't be a huge deal but this would be something you would need to use for weeks perhaps several months (daily) to see changes. I know people who haven't used anything but gel for their whole transition, so it does work the same way. There are a few endrochrinology reasons why T might not work such as if it changes to estrogen, so if it doesn't work you shouldn't just stop, you should discuss with your endocrinologist. I'm thinking the doc won't be so interested if you say "well I stopped" or "I take once in awhile".

if i was a doctor id be worried that you werent ready for injectable T if you werent taking the gel. And well, the gel can only do good, and does work, so its worth using. Id be over the moon if i was prescribed T inn any form, including gel

the gel is only 1% testosterone, i have used it for 2 months straight with no skips and it did absolutely nothing. I'm not saying i skip like weeks but i do skip a few days every once in a little while. I was excited when I first got it but then i realized how little it does even if its used consistently. My doctor said that the amount in the gel isn't enough to give significant results even if you use it consistently for a long time.

The gel also comes in 1.62% now.  Not sure if its results are that much different from the 1%, but it would be worth a shot.

Lee: i doubt it would make much of a difference but I'm not prescribed that one anyways

Ty: Looking back at your past photos it does seem like there's a bit of a difference from when you were pre-T.  Not much, because you passed really well anyway, but your face has changed a little and you definitely look older.  So I'd just not get downhearted about it and keep using it until you can get on something else.

Alex: thanks. (that also might just be me getting older lol) but anyways thats what i have to do no matter what, i was just saying that ill hopefully be on shots soon and am DYING to start and see some real changes
