In your experience, how much should I expect from HRT and is it likely I'll have to do FFS? Any tips pre-transition? (e.g. what the heck should I do with my hair)

What should you do with your hair? Leave it as it! It's gorgeous!

FFS? Reducing your brow would likely improve things, but honestly, I think you look great for pre-everything!

Hi girls this forum (and this topic) has been a big inspiration for me so I wanted to ask for your thoughts on my chances on transitioning (after having thought over and over whether I should post my face online). Here's two pics of me with some eyeliner and highlighter, the profile and one from the front. Pre-everything. Happy that my webcam has such a low quality lol.

your face has a natural femininity to it. HRT will bring it out quite well

Sooo...yeah. These are being taken way early in the morning. I have the worst body known to man, I know lol. Currently working on my weight, lost a lot but a lot hasn't cut it quite yet. Those shoulders..;_;

You have a very feminine face to begin with.

Oh wow i thought you already started! You have a very nice base to build from, very round, soft features.

Thank you very much! I seriously needed those little bits of a confidence boost. I wasn't gonna reply cause I don't wana take away too much from other people, and I really dunno what I'm talking about, but yay <3

Hi tuuliu, I think you look really pretty already. Your lips especially look very femme to me.

Your hairs looks good right now, it's long and seems to have a slight natural curl at the bottom, but I'd suggest trying a different part. Having it parted at the far right side of your head accentuates the typical masculine type of hairline. See if parting it right down the middle hides the hairline.

Good luck on your transition.

First picture is pre everything with eyeshadow/eyeliner. Second is guy mode from a few days ago at work - bleh.. Third was also a few days ago, eyeshadow/eyeliner one month after low dose HRT. I am slowly building my wardrobe, as money is tight with a slow work season. Desperately saving for electrolysis.

#2 is guy mode?  Just barely.

Your very cute! Looking fantastic after one month

Caitlyn - I have off and on days with my hair. Sometimes it works with me instead of against me, still looking for the right shampoo/conditioner and going for more length to. I can't decide if I want to get it styled now or wait till it is closer to the length I want. I like your bangs way more than mine haha. You look great pre HRT and HRT should do wonders for you, just give it time.

Kasi - Thanks for the comment! I cheated a little in the last picture with the angle, made most of the dude-ness go away. I feel pictures normally do great injustice to my face. Always excited when you post new picks, amazing to see where you came from and how amazing you look now!

Kiara - I still struggle to see who I really am when I look in the mirror, makeup helps a ton though. I am really jealous how beautiful you are  , how long have you been on HRT?

Jamie - Happy someone can see me looking hardly male while in guy mode. Really pining to have the male-fail happen sooner than later.

Bardoux - HRT has to be the best thing I have decided to pursue, I am sure we can all share that feeling. I just have to remind myself that it all takes time, there are 20 some years of testosterone damage to work on. On you deciding to present female in public - I think you male-fail pretty well.

this is me sans makeup. Do I look or pass female. Last week, I was sir'd to death. This week, guys keep saying hi and everyone genders me female. So...do I look like a man? Last week really nuked my self confidence but I want the truth. Do I pass? I aint sensitive.

I really dont see a guy in your pic joanna...

Just got my wig I ordered so I did my make up and took some pictures.

Are you auditioning for Avatar II? I noticed some weight loss in some recent photos of yours. I like your previous weight as this added feminine curves to your face. You look female in this photos, with said lighting and pose.

yeah I have loss weight prolly 7 to 10 lbs and I'm trying to gain it back but I can't. I eat too. I'm like 125 now and want to be 135. Weird thing is my thighs have ballooned.

ive been on hrt since april 29th so 8 months and 2 days lol, i really got a lucky picture there for my avatar, i don't really look that beautiful, and as weird as it sounds i wish i was that beautiful all the time, then i wouldn't be so scared to go full time

Jessica - I love the 3rd picture Awesome. You have a nice face and I expect to see you in the fab section in a year or so

Joanna - I don't know I think you look great and agree with the couple extra pounds comment. I'm 5'8" and can't get under 160 and you can't seem to reach 140 you must have some awesome metabolism. Ya skinny runt LoL :-)
Seriously though also I feel your pain on that pass/no pass issue. The same places and the same people. Some days I get a ma'am and some days nothing. Different places people have said Sir from a distance and I try to brush it off but it really hurts when we try so hard. Then there was last weekend shopping for work clothes with my s/o and the woman at the checkout asked for my ID to use my card and she was like Is this You. That made me blush and I was like yeah I need to get a new license soon :-)
So if anyone knows the secret to consistently passing Please Share. We'd be much obliged.

KittyKat - I think that style of hair suits you. It looks great to me

Feyru- I adore your smile in the last picture, SOOO ADORABLE OMG <3 <3 you are sucha cutie!!!!

Lavender- I think you look great, and your shoulders did not stand out to me at all. can't believe you are pre everything, you are very pretty

Joanna- I like that picture a lot, deff looks female to me. And you do have prettiness to you, so you needn't worry about that!

Kittykat- Love your smile in the first pic! you look so happy <3 you are quite the cutie!

Hi everyone!  I've been following this community for a while now.  I'm from a very small town:  Outjo, Namibia. (It's in Africa for those of you who don't know  )
This is my first post because I'm actually pretty scared because I've never asked anyone to comment on my looks, partly because I never loved me in the male form.  But just recently I moved out of my parents home and I finally had the chance to experiment with my 'other side' and boy did I love it.  So here it goes.  This is a picture of how I look in the female form:



Just bare in mind that it was the first time I tried make-up and I obviously am wearing a very cheap wig.  So please, honestly, tell me what you think.  Will I be able to pass as a female in puclic?  I am absolutley inlove with myself for the first time in my life and to me I look stunning!  The best part is I haven't even started HRT becuase I'm struggling to find a place in my country or South Africa that can do the procedure.  If any of you happen to know of a place in Africa, pleasssssse let me know. 
I am very lonely here because I've never met another transgender person in my life and EVERYONE here still sees transexuality and homosexuality as an absolute sin.

Why are you scared? you look gorgeous.. seriously..
nicely done girl..
