Sweet Abby, you are very pretty and quits cis like. The tummy has to go though, it doesn't work in favor of the rest of the picture and is not healthy. Several years ago I was on Premarin which turned me into a fat pear-like  putz, rightly so I guess as it comes from horses and we aren't horses. If that's not it then it's time to start doing daily crunches and a good cardio workout. But I think you are just a really pretty woman lady. Just giving you my take for your sake hon! ~Shan~

I'd like to disagree. I think her body is wonderful just the way it is. It's not clear that carrying weight around one's midsection is unhealthy. If she wants to be more fit, more power to her, but I didn't read that from her post.

Abby, you're a beautiful woman.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

I know the clothes aren't very flattering, I really don't have any women's clothes yet . I've been steadily losing weight and I'm trying to avoid really going clothes shopping until I'm down near my goal weight, which should coincide with when I want to go full-time (December-January.)

Edit: Oh, and as for my height I'm not quite 5'8 so if I look super tall it might just be the angle.

That you're a woman who love the environment. Pass.

Probably. The look is very bold, and you appear to pass in this pic, but a careful eye might spot you.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and while I've posted this pic on transpassing I don't think people are critical enough there. How do I look? This is at 8 months of HRT.

Abby, I think you look pretty good.  I'd say pass.  Hard to tell about facial features, like brow-bossing, from a face on photo.

First impressions?  LOL!  Do you have a body?!

I don't see anything obviously male in your photos.

I think you could wear Groucho Marx glasses and pass.  I'm not sure that the bold eyebrows are an improvement.  But hey, you are young, and now is the time to experiment with your style! 

I think you should bring them in a bit closer to one another.  You have them stopping before a vertical line from your tear ducts.  Compare:

Idk, I always darken my eyebrows and make them bold-ish

Thanks, I don't know how to feel about it either lol, also I don't entirely look like that IRL but I can never find a photo that looks exactly like me. Just bad cameras or smth.

Oh, just saw Jamie's suggestion. That'd help make your eyes look closer together and might look really good! But Idk, something about your facial features exactly the way they are in this pic is really beautiful to me. So interesting and gorgeous looking. :O You need to grow 5 inches and be a model

I changed my post to put the two pictures together, GYLF.

You know, your face shape is almost identical.  And you have the thin female-type neck.

There are not many out there who can favorably compare to one of the most beautiful women in the world.   

Y'all have me feeling self-conscious about how I do my eyebrows now lol.

I saw your pic Jen, and I think you're beautiful as you are now.

Thank you~ Need to get that confidence gene in me, since methinks I still look like a boy.

versuch... I hate cameras, too, which is why I really don't have that many pictures of me in them. The restaurant (which was thai, BTW) pic was unavoidable. Darn friends!  

fierce: of course you pass...

You should really get started on hrt though! You're lucky enough to look like a girl without them, so I bet you'll turn into a supermodel with them! It's probably just your voice, name, mannerisms etc that make people perceive you as male, and not your appearance.

edit: remembered that you are on hrt, just really early in the process haha

Brooke Shields has incredibly thick low hanging brows which look good on younger faces but makes an aging face look tired / older as well as manly. I think the way she styles her brows is probably why many perceive her face to be rather masculine. Also they were always just really low to begin with.

GYLF- your eyebrows look nothing like Brooke Shields'. In fact, you have very high sitting brows that look incredibly feminine with a beautiful arch. I do agree though that you could take them in a little bit and it wouldn't hurt. I also agree that your facial features and expression are extremely beautiful especially in this pic. You really don't NEED to do a thing at all.

In fact if I were to meet you in person, I would probably just keep staring at you trying to figure out what it is that makes you so beautiful... lol

My name can actually go either way.  About mannerisms.. I'm sure I have some pretty manly mannerisms, but at the same time, people have told me SOME of them are kinda girly.  I don't know, I still have to work on them since they're perfect in my head, just from the brain to the muscle, somewhere the message gets lost. Practice makes perfect, I guess.

I pluck to either side of the nose I know the bone there is visible but I can't help that I just have low face fat. And I wish I could be a model! Darn heightists

Also not to offend anyone's preferences but Brooke Shields is the last woman I want to compare to not that she isn't pretty but she does have a masculine face.

Masculine face?!?  LOL, like truck driver, huh?

Okay, I retract my statement.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so polarizing or cause problems and I wasn't insulting Brooke Shields or anything

You're fine.  I just never thought of Brooke Shields as manly.  She's my age too.  I had a major crush on her when I was younger.  And Leif Garrett too.  LOL

thanks, everyone! and yes, i do have a body. but as it seems no pics of it
