You'll be fine I'm sure if that photo is an accurate portrayal.
I was in a worse state than you and I've been on hormones for more than 2 years... I think... you stop counting after abit ya know. Most of the changes occur within 9 months although your body may vary.

as for myself.




While I'm still alittle neurotic about it and I'm never sure, thinking that most people are just begin polite I seem to be pretty passable.

With your bangs down, you look very female to me. As in, I don't think I'd read you. Your expression seems a little off in that picture though.

Thanks for the kind comments .


Hmmm I cant see much female in the mirror when I look at myself. But maybe it will get better in time? some days I see myself for a few seconds or so but then the image turns to a male =/, its pretty irritating. And some days I feel good about myself and how I look but the day after can be a total disaster and I just want to hide under the pillow or something. Is it always going to be like this? .

Carolina,

You already pass. Any of us will be in a position where we are read as male. That is the inevitability of transitioning in this binary world. I didn't want to transition unless I could do so in full acceptance of myself. This doesn't mean I am comfortable with being perceived male, but I do acknowledge and accept that my body is socially categorized male. Transition is about embracing my femininity, and negotiating between my soul, body, and world - who I am, and how I can assert myself here best to nurture myself. This is about self care. Be gentle on yourself. You pass when you believe in yourself. And of course the way you look plays an essential role in passing but be honest about your appearance and be grateful for the part of yourself you do like. You look like a woman to me.
