Janet,

You are absolutly right – masculine facial bone structure.  The contouring to bring out the cheek bones is probably a good idea.  I'll go online and figure out what that means and how to do it.  I tried some additional eye cream tonight and will keep trying to get there.  I just don't sleep enough or something.  My eyes are always so dark.  Thinking of trying some lighter cream just above the eyebrow ridge to remove some shadow.  Did the lip plumper, helped a little.

Ultimately,  only FFS will take care of everything and it will need to be extensive.

Thank you for your honesty and suggestions.

+1 for Janet.  Honest is a hard thing to be sometimes.  Good suggestions are often even harder.

You sure do sweetie, super cute chickster!

Thanks Shan! You're too nice to me. Sometimes I think I look better without makeup. My goal is to be miss'd, she'd, and her'd while presenting male, which happens but only like 50 percent of the time. But this guy did call me baby today and I was dressed male.  Gawd, I sound like such a brat writing that when I know I'm prolly pretty privileged passing-wise.

I'm completely incapable of judging my own pass-for-cis-ability...



...though generally manage to avoid getting too caught up in passing neuroses these days.

Very pretty gal for sure, love those eyebrows, if you decide to trim those a bit share some with me, I'm eyebrow challenged. My take is that you pass for cis probably better than a lot of cis women. Nose bridge might be a tad bit male, I dunno for sure. Like your looks though....sweet!

You pass.  I'm envious....

If I passed you on the street or met you in person, I wouldn't be able to tell you were trans at all. Heck even after zooming in on your photo on my iPad, I still couldn't tell. Your next stop is totally the "you look fabulous" thread!

Wow! Thanks for the kind words, ladies!

I would not question you passing at all if you walked by me in the street.
You look great and I loves your hair

you look like an important woman in my life.  A young version of my aunt Alexandra - she's all woman.  And you also have a 'look' to me that reminds me of a female school counsellor.  Dunno why.

Short answer - u look awesome!

I took this yesterday during my first day full time (I think I passed). I've been on HRT for 3 months, electrolysis for 7 months, am still growing my hair out and am wearing very little makeup. I'm already working on my weight (lost 45 lbs this year so far and still losing ). I could use some constructive criticism on what I could do better/differently. Thanks in advance!

HI I started e on the]11th of July  but been living as fem for 15 months still a long way to go before I pass as fem but know day will come

I'm going full-time soon and I've been super self-conscious about my appearance, specifically my shoulders and feet. I just started buying some clothes in prep for going ft and was wondering how I looked in these:

Wow, only three months HRT? You pass really well in that picture.

Congrats on the weight loss! I'm down about 35lbs since coming out last year and it really feels great. Keep on keepin' on

I am  me regardless

I have to agree with Abby; I see nothing but a woman in this photograph. Also, Amelia Pond is totally my favorite Dr. Who companion.

And Abby, you look fantastic as well. Your face is beautiful, and totally passes, and though your frame is what it is as a result of testosterone, it is not outside of the female range at all. You look like a woman.

What is the width of Your shoulders? I was quite surprised recently when I was looking up the average female shoulder width and it was in the 14"-17" range. Yours look pretty much being within that range - I'd say somewhere about 17", so thats average .

Amelia, you look completely cis female in that photo, very nice choice in tops too I might add. Congrats on the weight loss, stick with it Miss, you're looking good!

Mine are about 20-21" across and I am 5'8. I really hope that my shoulders shrink a little bit by the time I get down to my goal weight.

Ahem... Did You measure them Yourself and if yes, how exactly did You do that? Maybe ask someone to do this for You? Because 21" usually draw quite a lot of attention (20" is significantly broader than average male shoulder width) - and pardon me, but Yours do not draw THAT MUCH attention .
