26 weeks on T now. I posted a pic in here when I was 2 weeks on. Here's a pic taken last week. Passing? And how old would you say I look?

Totally pass, and cute. Makin' me wish I was younger... I'd guess you low to mid-20's.

Thank you all. Guess I'm finally starting to look more my age lol

Thanks guys for listening to the recordings I am liking the fact that my voice is read as gender neutral   Again, thanks everyone that listened

Hey guys, here's my dumb pic:


Do I pass? (and how old?) I genuinely can't tell, and any advice would be cool.

Honey, easy pass based on that shot.

There is my pic. All I have really is a new haircut...and believe it or not I have been working out XD
I doubt I pass yet... mostly because the hairdresser didn't give me what I asked for, but my cousin randomly told me, "no offence but you kind of look like a boy."

I was so flattered.. but everyone thought he was so rude XD
Bwhahahaha

You totally look like a guy to me, I wouldn't doubt it for a second

Thank you so much! It means a lot to me.
Your opinion has really boosted my confidence.

@Lucas: You look like a dude to me too.

So I have been messing around with my webcam all day and I made this little clip [3 minutes, haha] of me just talking about stuff. I wanted to get comfortable and fall into my speaking voice, which I think I did. I'm still working on forcing it lower, but it sounds better than it has. Getting closer.

Anyway, I'm looking for feedback on my mannerisms, general appearance, glasses, voice, all of it. I am sort of a feminine guy and I don't really want to force anything that isn't "me", but all opinions are valued here. And be as harsh as you want -- I could use the feedback.



Edit: Sorry about the poor audio quality.
Also, I'll take the video down after a while so don't bother quoting it or it'll just be a broken video.

first post, ever, on this forum! i saw a guy make a picture like this on the first page so i figured i'd do the same? it's late here so the lighting isn't that great. my apologies. i'll post another one with better lighting tomorrow or something.

Ditto on wanting to try that haircut, I'm envious of your hairline lol, did you get it cut/shaved that way? A strong second "yes" vote on passing, are you on T? (Edit: if you don't mind my asking, that is)

P.S. : Welcome to the forum!

thank you! i did it myself. depending on my mood i'll do no guard closed or #1 closed at the top, open at the bottom. i use the clippers opened to straighten out my hairline a bit. as for the top i've recently tried to cut it with scissors and it turns out alright.

you should definitely give it a go! nah, i shaved my hair and it was just like that. thank you, though!
i'm pre everything. i have natural muscle mass.. i do work out, though. pull ups + dumbbells.

thank you!!

Apparently, I seem a lot happier lately, and since my hair got short, people have been commenting on how much more 'me' I look. It got a bit shorter than I meant to get it a few days ago, while trying to even out the back, but what do you guys think? Actual colour :

Hi Alex!
      You look like a nice young man, you're probably older than you look. I like that hairstyle, it works well on you. In the upper photos you have up eyebrows, fyi - most cis males usually don't raise their eyebrows that much, but you look good!

far as mannerisms, you pass to me, you look younger than your age, but we all do lol the voice will get better the longer you are on T, mine is high too and sucks lol but you seem like a pretty smart and chill guy to me, I would just peg you to be younger than you are

Ryan: So my laptop speakers aren't great, but I'd say you definitely pass man, even with the pre-T voice   It's nice to see another Italian guy using his hands lol. Tbh looking at your profile pic I thought you were already on T.

alex and preston, you both totally pass

ryan, I didn't make it through the whole video but you sure pass to me. you look buff too

whynaut, I think the glasses work. I feel bad saying it, but you don't totally pass to me.I might be getting thrown by the jacket you are wearing. I bet T is going to make a huge difference soon.

I need some tips on how to pass. I don't think I do, but it's really hard to tell when I'm looking at my own face.

I haven't cut my hair yet 'cause I'm still in the closet so I'm cheating a bit by wearing a hat.

This is a selfie from work:

I feel like smiling makes me look more feminine but I'm not sure. Be brutally honest, I need sincere advice.

Quote from: Ryan55 on March 29, 2014, 07:31:51 PM
posted a youtube vid to blog my transition and just random stuff, but I was inspired by whynaut to put the mannerisms, look and voice together to see if I pass, I am pre T, so I know the voice won't sound like a dude lol

edit: I'm italian, so yes I talk with my hands and move a lot lol sorry if it gets shaky and blurry

Ryan, my only nitpick to you passing is your eyebrows. Overall, I think you look and sound great, but the eyebrows have too nice an arch to them, and taper from wide to a point.

the first pic, you look like a dude to me, the second not sure if its the smile or not that makes you more feminine, do you have contacts? I notice when I put my glasses on, I can be pegged as female more, no idea why, far as hair, if your older than 18, talk to your parents and say you want to do a short hair cut like a pixie cut or take a celebrity's photo and show them, I feel like a lot of girls now have short hair, once its short you can style it more masculine, it took me awhile to cut my hair also, but now no one cares lol

Also thanks polo and tomboy, I go to the gym every week, helps me feel more masculine before I start T, also helps with letting out stress and stuff lol gym is like therapy
Jaydawg yeah I figured it would, its just a habit from growing up female and not wanting a uni brow, that I have this thing to keep getting my eyebrows done lol I can probably get them to shape it more manlier? or let the eyebrows grow out and just get rid of the part that starts growing like a uni brow
