Do you think I could pass I just started hormones.                             

Yes I think you can pass, you look nearly exactly like an old friend of mine(haven't hung out in some time). She apparently had a slight crush on me but had to tell me she did as I never picked up on it......A very long lasting problem I have lol.

Well, if you're concerned your appearance is holding you back, I think you can relax!  I've found that successfully transitioning to full-time is all about being comfortable with yourself, and it cannot be overstated that others will pick up on this.  This new picture of you, without your wig, looks very natural and relaxed.  You seem very ready!

Now, go on, go to "You Look Fabulous" if you haven't already, blah blah, you're pretty, blah blah 

Thank you. I have been told by a lot of my close friends that it is the confidence that matter here, if you are not confident, people will pick up on the signs.

I love your hair!!! Almost exactly the same color as mine... but yours looks nicer for sure (maybe the HRT helps?)

I am not sure if the HRT helps the hair or not.

wow you strangely look more passable with your natural hair, i think wigs usually throw out flags when they are obvious, but you look really passable i think, how long is your hair right now without extensions?

My hair is like 8 inches right now. People kept telling me before they couldnt tell it was a wig. But I like the extensions better because my head wont itch.

Masculine?!?!

Ya gotta be freaking kidding me pffft.

Foxy lady alert: Please direct all further correspondences to the fabulous thread!

Looking great, Ксениа

Jenny, thank you very very much. You always get me to laugh and smile.

  You're right, and there's something all-around different and more polished in this pic than the previous ones.  I just can't quite pin it on any one thing but the lack of wig is more impressive.

Is it because you can see the scalp and hair line that it looks real?



To everyone, thank all of ya'll so very much. I feel more confident from hearing from you, and I know for sure that full time starts on new years. Love ya'll and have a lovely time this holiday season.

Ok, this is my first one with out a wig. I have hair extensions now. But do I look like a woman, or am I still too masculine?? Any make up suggestions?

*purrs and snuggles furiously* rrrrawr!  Hunni you don't just pass - you're downright *ATTRACTIVE*!  In fact.. could I possibly has your number??  *smiles innocently and flutters eyelashes* xXxXx

As the others said, you've got some subtle masculinity to you, but because it's complimentary rather than conflicting, it only makes you look prettier and more feminine.  You look like a strong girl who knows what she want's

Surgery-wise: Honestly don't see anything in this pic that I'd even tweak

Makeup-wise: Whatever you're doing here hunni - keep doing it!  Keep the makeup subtle and natural-looking because it clearly suits you Your eyes and lips are absolutely beautiful and any makeup you have on them in this pick is done perfectly (and if you don't have any (it's actually hard to tell) then - woooooow! <333 *fans self* ).

Hair-wise: I'd say this brunette style suits you way more than the blonde style you've got in your avatar pic.  It brings out your eyes much more and the squareness it gives to your face goes back to what was said before about complimentary masculinity.  All I would say is maybe just bring the top of it away from your head very slightly (as in - pull it forward, rather than upwards, otherwise you'll end up with the M shape and that will look too masculine) so it doesn't look quite so flat against your face, but be careful not to make your forehead look any bigger in the process or loose that square shape to your face

So err.. yeh!  Those would be my comments   And sorry for being kinda flirty and inappropriate, but that pic just kinda got my heart racing! RRRRAWR!  *continues flirting inappropriately with Ксениа* ..whaaaaat??  I can't help being lesbien, ok?!  xXx <333

Most umop-apisdn people read more male they like.

I thought you were kidding around at first. Haven't the slightest idea why you think you look male

what kind of extensions are they, i got the luxy hair extensions but they pull on  my hair and i felt like i had a bunch of clips in my hair that really pulled on my hair and hurt

I don't even know how to use, or even buy extensions, but I know I need some.

Pre Everything pictures but I guess I am doing this because I am gauging what I would need to work on or figure out what sticks out greatly. Obvious things, eyebrows. Jawline and other things are a complete mystery to me.

I Just have a few coments of your potential.

You have nice cheek bones allready and I'm sure they will pop out nicely to sculpt you a feminin face with HRT.
Your features are soft even thoug your jaw may be a bit wide (but not too square from the front, and from the side it could be hidden with your hair if you find it to be a problem), but that hasn't stopped manny girls from turning out to be the bomb.
If you learn to pluck your eyebrows nice i think they will get a nice shape and there will hardly be any need to fill them in in my oppinion as they allready look like they are.
Also, your lips. A good thing there, totally nice.

I think you will come out fine in the end.

*EDIT*
You allso seem to be blessed with no adams apple.

I went to the mall where a friend of a friend of a friend works and got them. I got two boxes for 300 dollars when they were supposed to be 550 a piece and 1100 for both. seems steep but that is what the box says. This is the brand I got is called, PYT or Pretty Young Thing.

Do you think I could pass I just started hormones.

If you are worried about whether, in time, you could pass as female, just look at the "Before & After" topic in this forum.  I am convinced that HRT, presentation, and surgery can feminize anyone.

But just take a self-inventory.  What are your outward masculine "tells"?

Haircut
Eyebrows
Lack of boobage

Skeletal structure(?)
Craniofacial features(?)

What can you do now, and what is on your "roadmap"?

Quote from: ♡ Emily ♡ on December 29, 2013, 11:21:24 AM
Hey girls! I am in need for some constructive criticism as I am trying to muster up courage and start going out. Since I will be on my own and this is kinda mostly safe neighborhood (but things can go wrong at times), so I wanted to make it as safe as possible. So, what do You see and what could be improved? I am looking at those pics (and again, apologies for pool quality, but I DO suck at making pics...) and something is putting me off. But I cant really get a grip on what specifically I dont like here (maybe its my face, lack of bewbs? or that everything is black - yep, it really is, but I will be walking after twilight anyway). So, here I go! And please, dont be nice - I need to get as honest and hurtful opinions as You all can dish out!

I see a darling European woman properly and attractively attired for winter weather. You will be just fine Emily, you're looking good hon!

Finally had a day where I won't be running into a lot of people so decided to do some make-up and take a picture. Haven't started HRT or anything yet, but I do have my first laser removal tomorrow! Didn't want to show my short hair waiting on a wig I ordered.

Hay girls!

Like Emily before me I'm going out soon, in fact I'm planning on going to the Edinburgh Hogmanay street party with a friend. Now, the Scottish propensity for drinking will help me pass, but I'm not sure how else I can work it to make sure? Any feedback at all would be helpful please...



Emily: Like you I have the lack of boobs issue, but I will be wearing a little padding to help me pass - black isn't really good to take a photo in but it's all I like! I like your coat, it does well to widen your hips. Maybe a little makeup too?
*Edit* A friend of my wife advised me to lighten the outfit up with a bright bag, so it's not too dark. Might be worth a thought for you as well?

You look very passable to me Sandra. You remind me of a cis woman I know. Very lovely.

Boobs isn't a problem for you Sandra, so many slender cis women also use a little padding and so what? You look mighty feminine and attractive just as you are, so go, be yourself and enjoy!

Have fun with the laser, Even one session makes a world of difference. IT has helped me almost as much as HRT and helped me being able to pass greatly.

I was thinking of presenting more feminine in public but i am really concerned by how may electrolysis is going. I can't shave in between sessions and the last session has left the skin darkened leaving the illusion of a beard shadow...

Honestly, I'm not seeing the shadow. I legitimately see no barrier to presentation.
