Hey thanks for the kind comments, you all

My voice is a dead give-away, and my 5'4" height doesn't help. I've lost a bunch of weight and am working on losing more, so I hope that helps the hips issue. I gotta big butt, too haharrrrrgh!

But the boobs... they're DD and I can hide under layers, but not in summer. But I haven't bought a real binder yet, so we'll see how flat I can get.

So I realise it's likely I don't pass right now, but it's late at night and this is with everything down - I haven't done my hair, done any facial fixes (i.e. contours and shadows to make my face look more masculine etc), or even bound my chest. I'm pre-everything, and starting HRT in about 5 months, so I'm pretty damn excited and wanted to make some sorta post before the changes.

Wish me luck.

NOTE: I'm fairly young in comparison to what I assume to be the average age around here, and new to this forum.

I think you are completely passable. I wouldn't questionit if we passed each other on the street.

I love looking through these posts! you all are a great looking bunch!

I'm pre-everything. I'm wondering what perception I'm starting with here.

Vest shows a little, other than that, you pass. skip the vest and go for a jacket. Alternatively, get a vest that's just a shade loose and you'll be fine.

FAKE EDIT: also, these captchas are obnoxious. I'm hoping they eventually go away.

MacG · February 04, 2014, 06:40:58 PM

Turtletamer, thanks. I bought my first binder yesterday, so I think that's going to help with the giant boobs.

And the captchas do magically disappear! After a few more posts

36 y.o. Pre everything. I know I need to lose weight & gain muscle to offset my hips, but how close to passing am I now?

Sir Real · February 08, 2014, 09:45:09 AM

Mitchel - you pass to me. That jacket is rockin'. Not a fan of the belt though, but it might just be because I can't see it too well. I'd go with a buckle that's more simple personally, not because I don't like the style but for some reason it just seems feminine at that distance. Anyways, you totally pass to me, man.

Bimmer Guy · February 08, 2014, 09:49:36 AM

Mitchel, I think you pass quite well.

You look very masculine to start with. What's throwing me a bit is firstly those earrings, and secondly your hairline imo is more feminine than masculine. That said, i'm so sure you will pass very quickly on T.

Mitchel · February 08, 2014, 10:50:52 AM

Thanks guys, I had been thinking of no ear rings for sometime now. Any tips on creating a more masculine hairline?

Bardoux · February 08, 2014, 11:07:57 AM

I would assume T would help in that regard after some months/years, but i noticed that it seems to be slightly longer and gelled up a little at the front? Maybe shaving that down will help.

Actually I think going shorter will make it worse, since it will show your hairline without hiding any of it. What I find seems to work is if you grow it out a bit, and have the sides and back of your head shorter than the front. Kind of like a Jensen Ackles/Dean Winchester haircut, but without spiking the front up so much.

I had my hair cut and the line "cleaned" up a bit and took out my ear rings. Also, I have a naturally occurring black patch of hair right up front, so it looks spiked up but it isn't.

I think you pass. You look great, man.

I've already posted here when I first became a member but I just want some more opinions. My dysphoria has gotten worse and I still think I look like a girl. An ugly girl.

How do I look? Any suggestions?

Bardoux · February 08, 2014, 04:48:20 PM

Really do think you look like a guy Mr Hockey!

Mr Hockey - I would just assume you're a guy if I met you. Im sure you pass better than you fear.
