Thanks a lot man, that makes me feel a lot more certain about myself.
In one situation where I'm at a painting club, I had been introduced as male and I'm pretty sure everyone believes it. (only when my mom came in to pick me up and said I was 18 they frowned and said they thought I was like 15 or something, and they asked how I looked so young and my mom said that it's in the family, lol. No idea if that's true but it worked and I didn't got anymore questions)
Aw yeah I really hope I can get on T soon when I return to the gender clinic again, I just can't wait but I must.

Oof I wouldn't be able to stand hearing such words like your mom says. It can make me react sometimes a bit explosive if that were said, and I always try to correct people if they say something I don't like. (though it often also depends on the situation) Also I had seen your photographs and I think you really pass well too, you've got an awesome hairstyle. :]

Total pass Bryan. I get the same thing about looking young and I'm 28! A new guy at Taekwon-do didn't even question my gender when I said my name but was shocked that I was a senior (18+).

Max: Looking good bro, but yeah you look real tired in first pic. Also watch large ties. Better to pull them quite tight as loose ties kinda accentuate a small head, which most guys don't have. I have a super tiny head so I avoid making it look any smaller where poss! Lol. I NEVER leave tags on caps. No one should know that it's a XS or kids cap! Haha!

Haha, it was the smallest one I could find because I completely forgot about our teacher saying "no bowties", meaning my mom and I just ran over to the tie section in a store and grabbed what looked small enough. I do happen to be rather tired in that picture (rather than under the influence of a certain plant-based substance I'm most likely allergic to anyway), simply for the fact that I spent a bit over ten hours rehearsing and then performing at the graduation concert. Playing Pomp and Circumstance 67 times does some nasty things to your wrist. Luckily the school year is over so I can maybe catch some shuteye- also the hairstyle is just however my headlawn decides to fall for the day 

Bryan- Looking awesome! I agree with Erik, your face does look more masculine in the more recent pics.

Size of the tie doesn't matter so much, you just need to pull it into a tighter knot, it just looks really loose. Bottom of tie can come to just a little above the top of your pants. Look up some YouTube vids for some advice on how to wear them and how to tell where to start the knot. I used to wear ties every day to school so I forget that a lot of guys aren't used to them. Lol

Thanks guys. It makes me feel a lot more confident about myself. :] Lol, I have no idea how my face began to look more masculine... I think those older photographs are from one year ago. Also the middle recent photograph was also taken a bit from below (because I had a low platform for the camera) and I noticed when looking straight at myself it looks slightly different. Maybe should take a better front photograph.

I just recently got my hair done I'll post both. In my opinion, I look more like a teenage boy (like, 16 or something). I'm 22
(Keep in mind I haven't started T yet)

Before hair revamp!


After hair revamp! It's going to be Teal soon!

I have a horrible Hat Obsession...

Great! You should! You look great, especially pre T!
And the age thing is something a lot of pre T transguys suffer from, unfortunately (even as a 'girl' people thought I was around 16! *facepalm*)
Ahh I'm so looking forward to finally getting on T, but damn! It will take so long...! I'm not even in therapy yet, so it'll take more than a year, probably.

Clockpunk, you definitely pass, but like you said; more like a teenage boy. Like usual for pre-T transguys...

And guys! I just managed to properly tie my first tie! Yay! Achievement!

Frankly I think I pass pretty badly in this picture... :/ *smashes dysphoria glasses*

If only customers felt the same at work! I'm really happy to hear this I admit I was nervous about this thread and hesitated for a really long time, but I see it was all for naught! Thank you

Congrats!! I still can't do it...

Yep, I was struggling with the knot. Going to have to practice tying it tighter because my hands aren't the greatest at motor skills (irony: I play lots of instruments).

Clockpunk and Erik- you both look pretty young, but good! Also congrats on tying your first tie, you did better than me at it 

Clockpunk passes great in my opinion too.

Here's a better frontal photograph, though my camera had a bit of a blur on the lens so it ain't the greatest quality, but better than the previous front picture nonetheless.

Here are some older pictures of me (like 13)... Im Jesse by the way





recent pictures are coming soon

well heres one recent one made it yesterday

Hey Jesse,
Even in the older photographs you pass very well as a young boy, and in the recent photograph you are very passable but I already told you that. (To everyone else, I know Jesse in rl)

I'm gonna post a lot of older photographs I've found in my blog soon. Suddenly I find it to be a lot less worse to see myself on photographs.

Jesse- You pass perfectly! Even in the older pictures there is nothing in your face that says "girl" anywhere.

Yes, you pass and you are not ugly. I hate that you have to continually be exposed to discrimination but understand that it's not you. It's the backwards Country you live in.

Definitely not ugly dude. And you pass pretty damn well, if I do say so myself. And I try to be brutally honest.
