Anyone think I could pass yet 7 weeks on hrt

You look female to me.

But one thing I'm curious about...

Quotestart hrt on july 11/7/2013 been living as fem for 15 months full time and changed name legal a year ago and med recs to fem

In your time of living as a female, haven't you gotten a pretty good idea of whether you pass or not?
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon
And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon
Discord, whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

Alice, honey, you look great and totally passable to this thang.  Nice work on those eyes!

>.<

I definitely wouldn't be able to tag you as anything other than female, and I'm closely looking for it too!!  You look very feminine!!!

Hi, all.. posted a while ago, and I was just wondering if I look even remotely female in any of these? Thanks for the feedback ^^





(Pre-HRT.. as getting that is very difficult in my country and I haven't yet worked up the courage to take the 'test').

I think you look amazing, and I love your cheekbones!! You have amazing features and facial shape, and definitely look female.

Oh!  And I forgot to mention, your hair color is beautiful!!  You should definitely never change it!

I have no idea if I pass or not.

I have to admit I don't care!

My avatar was yesterday, no make up, just me in normal every day life.

I had just driven home from work.

Sit. I'll take a pic of you, he said.

This is me, real life.

You look great, and I LOVE your outfit too!  Very nice figure!

@ KatelynRain - Aw, thank you for the kind words! But sorry to disappoint, it's actually a wig (even if it is really pretty ^^) - I wish it was my real hair.. and now I am feeling sad that I recently cut over an inch off my own to accommodate expectations for a more male cut :(

While I am still not convinced I could pass (I KNOW, lack of confidence), I think beard shadow is my most telling feature and I will definitely look into the effectiveness of local laser treatments (which I should probably make another thread to ask for advice about..). Even if I end up not fully transitioning, I am confident I won't ever want to grow a beard as I hate body hair, and even if I can't afford too many sessions, at least thinning it out should make it easier to hide right?

Too many positive replies has almost made me afraid to post.. but I tried to take a picture to illustrate how obvious it is after a couple of hours, despite my attempts to hide it with makeup.. I think smiling actually makes me look less feminine, but who knows.. maybe I am stressing over nothing, it wouldn't be the first time Lol!



Aaand I know I look tired.. it has been a really rough weekend >.<. I also desperately need to go shopping!

Facial hair shadow was what I felt was the biggest giveaway too.  Even if I shaved super close, you could still see a cloud of grey underneath my skin.  I tried dermablend and stuff for the longest time and it just made my makeup look super cakey.  Then I did electrolysis for a year and a half, and it was the most painful thing ever.  My therapist told me to try laser hair removal, and so far, into my 6th session, 90% of my facial hair is gone!! (:  and the remaining hair doesn't have a shadow and takes forever to come back.  Hoping a couple more laser sessions will clear the rest.  I would recommend that you look into a diode or alexandrite laser, and stay away from IPL (which is not a true laser, but a cheaper machine that does pulsed light instead).

Sorry but I can't possibly buy into your self assessment! There are hundreds here who would kill to have your looks just the way you are right there and right now, myself included!

Do i come close to passing?
Absolutely. You're not the kind of girl I'm after (kinda love red colors), but you look hot. I wouldn't ask you for a date but would accept if you'd ask me. (As if I ever would ask anyone for a date...)

Yes I am, Day 25

Erin, normally I like rimless glasses, but those dark frames really look good on you! An old optometrist used to say, "Guys go for dames with good looking frames!" Kinda cute saying, but you do look nice in your glasses!

@Erin Kay Howell
Definite pass in my opinion, though I am far from an expert (apparently!). I see nothing masculine about your appearance, and you actually look a lot like a friend of mine. Nothing much else to comment on, except perhaps 'You look fabulous thread -> that way' ? ^^

@Everyone else
Ack! Stop making me feel bad about my own doubts.. and you better not kill anyone  :D

What do ya think?



I think I like the blue eye lids!  They go with the top!
As I look at the glasses, I'm not sure of the vibe they give me.  They don't scream girl to me; but they don't look guyish either.
