Need lots of make up . In reality I know there is no chance of remotely passing until I get hrt! Thought I'd try a gothic look!

Waaaayyyy better without glasses. This suits you.

Megan and Paula , thank you very much. You made an old bird very happy. I'm fifty already and just waiting for my second appointment at gender clinic to affirm gender dysphoria. Pre hrt as a result! I was briefly prescribed spiro as an anti androgen but ceased it due to fears of bone density loss- suffer from osteo arthritis. Symptom of getting old I guess! Transitioning perhaps 30 years too late. Will of course wait and see. 
Evelyn- thank u . Still need the glasses as blind as a bat with eyes too sensitive for contacts. Maybe laser surgery is the answer bug I fear anything going near my eyes!

Me too with the glasses deal. I can see somewhat without them, blurry colored shapes, enough that I can walk around okay (I'm actually less clumsy) and cross-streets without issues, but reading at a distance or needing to see detail, forget it. And I tried contacts once long ago, eyes couldn't handle them. Two eye doctors at different times and places so long ago when I had first started wearing glasses told me that I had cataracts, the second one being some years after the first, she was really nice and knew I was transgender (I wasn't yet passing very well then, I wonder if I was even on hormones then, can't even recall when that was) asked me if my mom was sick really bad or took any drugs while pregnant for me. "Uh, I don't think so, why?" Well, because from what I can tell you were born with cataracts, she said. Yeah, I know, the first eye doctor when I got glasses told me that too. Wonder how she could know when it started though (are birth cataracts different from aging type)? She told me that I probably wouldn't be able to handle contact lens, but I tried them anyway, I lasted about a week with red, itchy, painful eyes, went back to using glasses. If I could completely do without I certainly would, I hate glasses. But, I can say that I don't think my eyes have gotten any worst. "I can see! Nope, I was wrong."

Chic you look like a chic 

BTW, realize that when you're on HRT your face may change to something quite different than what your seeing with digital editing.

Oh no, I understand that! The only thing I do to my pictures is add virtual makeup and filters. I never distort or change my facial structure. I still have some weight loss to go through, so that'll make a pretty huge difference too. I think by the time I transition at 18, at a good female weight, the changes are going to be drastic. I don't think I'll look any less feminine or good than I do, which is really subjective anyway, so I'm just excited to see what I'll look like on hormones. I'll probably look much better than I do in pictures.

  Megan- a lot of girls on this topic wear glasses and look fine. Can't imagine you looking out of place with glasses. Changed days from limited nhs choice of glasses when I was young! So much choice nowadays. As for cataracts it can be an age thing although I'm aware eye conditions can effect younger folk. As much as you hate glasses I bet you look more than okay wearing them

It worked ! ha ha !I still look like a boy but I do not care. OMG ! I hated the way I looked  I have Hair ! and did not kill myself. Which is always a plus  <3 X

You actually pass 100% here for me, I dont see a boy there at all.

I think you are very feminine, I love your make up.... The only thing is that the dress seems to be for going out clubbing or a night date sort of, I think it's not ok for going out during the day, yeah and I won't go out with that dress personally if I didn't start Hrt or not for a long time, because you have very feminine legs, but I can't see any breast yet So yeah, I would use a padded bra at least... loose the hat because it's very masculine... Besides that you have very feminine shape and your face is very feminine too!

Thanks for your reply. Actually that dress was never worn outside of my room; I was never even part-time, let alone full time. But the breast was slowly budding somewhere around mid-therapy, but now long gone, since I'm months off hormones and had stopped my transition. Thanks for the compliments.

Ok yeah Iusually write that because when girls asks here if they pass, (they usually pass very well like you), but then wear types of clothes that are very formal type or sexy, which is not something that a regular ciswoman usually wears during the day... Why did you stop HRT?

That's a bit complicated even for me to untangle... I sort of became disillusioned at my prospects of ever succeeding in my environment, plus dissapointment and some unsolved issues that I should've addressed beforehand. I guess I sort of clinged to transition as something that I must do or die. But nevertheless, I remember my days from when I realised I should transition untill the end of it as something precious and "once in a lifetime" time of my life.

I just can't seem to get this going right, can I...
Finally I have the album and the link up, so if anyone's willing to take a look, their opinion is most welcome.
As I said, these are last year's photos when I was on HRT and I know I was nowhere near passing, but I was curious of what people thought of it; was I hopeless or did I have something going? How well (or bad) did I fare?
And again, I'm as sensitive as a cracked feet of a crocodile, so be as honest as possible.

There is nothing wrong with your looks or presentation, you actually look quote adorable and if anything you might have gone with a rhinoplasty down the road, but nothing else would be necessary of you to be just fabulous. However if your heart of hearts isn't into it than you probably did the right thing. Just the same I question your reason for being here other than the fact that you are still questioning yourself about the possibilities. There are many including myself who detransitioned for a time for various reasons, but if you decide to turn around it will all come back rather quickly. You're cute honey!

@ Megan Joanne. Oh thanx babe. You look just amazing  I look ok for a really old bird  I can't be 50 next birthday  NNNNOOOO    <3 X

You're still just a kid Paula, I'll be 71 in August and there are folks here a lot older than me in years. What I have going for me is 20 years on HRT and as my spouse says I'm really immature.

Thanks, Shantel. You're very sweet. I actually have a big, no cross that out--huge impeding brow. It's weird shaped and FFS would be necessary for complete passing. Plus the mandatory rhinoplasty. And some other things I added to the list.
But the thing is that looking at these photos and thinking about it just doesn't "strike the chord" you know. I felt a bit of nostalgia the other day and since I never posted these up for assessment, I thought I could at least do that for once. But I'm not crossing out the chance that I might come back one day, in this or any other form to the same dream. It's not that I actually understood my feelings quite well.

Jessica do you have any idea how much the entire trans congregation loves you.... ? You and Shantel alike.

Ok... lol     Thanks!

I think you're in the wrong topic.  Surely you meant to post this in "You look fabulous, darling!"

You look great and very feminine already - definitely passing from what I can see - and if that's pre-everything, you're going to be absolutely amazing post-everything.

That'd sound so conceited being pre-everything and all, haha. I feel like I wouldn't fit in. I'm too amateur

Yeah I'm pre-everything, it's about a year and three months until I can start HRT, personal reasons and all that.

I'm quite young so I hope the hormones will work some magic on me

Thank you very much! (:

Alright, some more, this time with more HRT and more makeup:  First off a set of male, then androgynuous, and the last set passes as female to me.  Critiques and opinions are greatly appreciated, I really think Im doing better, so keep up the good advice

Okay, may I try to help...

So you look andro on the first 6 pictures, but on 4th and 5th you lean towards feminine. On the last four pictures, I don't know what is making such a difference but you look very feminine, I would say you definitely pass. I love the pic 8th picture!!
