Your jaw, eyebrows, and nose are pretty darn great. Your chin could use some work as well as your forehead (esp. brow bossing) but I think you have an excellent starting point. Add some makeup, and poof! You're well on your way.

I've been on hormones for a long long time. I started out extremely masculine looking. People already barely recognize me. I'm super happy with how far i've come so far. Hopefully waiting on my hair will give me a chance to start voice work.

And yes I hate my forehead and hairline!

You and me both. Still, you've got a nice rounded face and those cheeks are filling out nicely. Also those big, unmissable eyes.

That doesn't surprise me at all! You've got those starry eyes

Thanks to everyone that posted I really appreciate it!

I am growing my hair out long, it's just taking it's time. By next Spring Summer it will be long enough to wear down. Right now I pin it up like a French twist because that is the most feminine style I can wear it right now.

Everyone made me feel really great pointing out my good features. And I'm really really happy most of you said all that needed work was my chin. I totally agree, I'm so glad that my jawline is feminine and my chin is the only thing to fix if I go that route!

It's so good to hear honest feedback from the community I belong to, to get real critique's. I'm just thrilled it's just one thing to worry about and not 3 + things! Also I've been looking at my Adam's apple and it's not even that noticeable another thing I don't have to worry about n_n

Harlow I totally agree,

you are beautiful 
a chin surgery would be perfect I think

I was on hormones for a couple months, but thanks to my awesome healthcare coverage, I've had to be off of them for a couple months. No makeup, totally guy mode. Just came back from a four hour lecture hall so I feel a bit gross. I guess sitting in the same chair for hours will do that to you. Also, didn't realize my phone was that dirty. lol.

that , that is not guy mode!

do the world a favour and start hormones again , cause you look amazing

ya i don't think you pass as guy mode from appearance wise, if you have feminine mannerisms and voice you look like you would be a full pass, i had to double check you weren't FTM, cuz i thought you were

Thanks Kira! I think the only thing I haven't done very much of is exploring makeup. I have touched a mascara brush to my eyelashes a time or two, but not a lot more than that. ♥

You should hunni!  Trust me, playing with makeup is one very easy way of making yourself feel really *REALLY* girly, even if no one else sees it for now ♥

I've been rather fortunate - having gotten involved in the alternative music scene way back when I was a teenager, I've had plenty of practice with eyeliner (or 'guyliner', if you want to call it that ) and applying lipstick, because no one bats an eyelid when a guy walks in to a VNV Nation gig wearing that kinda stuff!   It's only now though that I'm getting to play around with the more feminine stuff like primer/foundation, mascara and shadow.  And trust me - it feels *AWSOME*! You should definitely give it a go because I find it helps calm the dysphoria quite a bit at least for a while <333

I know I don't pass. Here it is anyways:

To be honest with you hunni if I saw you on the street I would read you as a slightly butch girl rather than a feminine guy (imho that's a good thing ), and even then most of the masculinity would be down to your short hair rather than anything structural.

Grow your hair out, and get some makeup on (again, get some mascara on those beautiful eyes of yours and also go for natural lipsticks (nothing vibrant or glossy - I don't think it'd look right on you )).

I can't see anything that would require FFS to be honest with you (at least not from this angle).  Your jaw line looks perfect, your chin is androgynous (it's not especially feminine, but it doesn't look masculine to me either) so in an ideal world you may want to tweak it very *SLIGHTLY*, but in the real world if it were me I wouldn't bother going to the hassle and expense for such a minor thing which doesn't even give you away.  Eyes, nose and mouth are *BEAUTIFUL*, don't you dare touch those with any surgery! Eyebrows look good and really suit you   Can't comment too much on the forehead from this angle, but nothing is especially jumping out

No worries hunni!  Just glad you didn't take it the wrong way or anything <333

Regarding your Adam's Apple - I'll be honest I assumed you'd had it fixed already but I'm guessing not from that comment!   so yeh I don't think you need to worry about that either hun <333

Thats your guy mode?...... *might as well hang myself right now*   Babe you're gorgeous!!!!!  Would kill to look that great!!!

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement,  I just picked up my Spiro and finastride last night.

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm starting up on HRT again shortly so I'm looking toward to that. Everyone else looks so beautiful as well. Have a wonderful night.

I think a more feminine haircut or style would help loads in your presentation, AMDERS.

I seriously wish I could, but I can't go too far as I'm waiting another year to go full time and can't afford any suspiciousness from my friends.

Hi, just a picture of how I look now without any HRT.
Any hope for me?

I think you have a lot of feminine features to start with and HRT will further enhance those features 

Thanks! 
Any examples of which features are more/less feminine about my face?
I know that my eyebrows are very bushy...

They're not horrible.
I'd say forehead, and to somewhat of a degree your chin. It's not terribly pronounced, and I think it'd pass, but it's definitely something to check out.

I'd say that, when looking into FFS (if that's your plan) just a jawline and chin shave should suffice. Though I'd say you're probably looking at a type 3 forehead.
Of course, this is not coming from a plastic surgeon. When you're ready, if you want to at all, just some things to maybe keep in mind.

Just found it kinda funny that ever since I had vFFS done and did some looking into the forehead procedures, that I've been really conscious of other's foreheads, saying "oh, this needs type 1" or "this needs to go all the way, type 3"
