Hi everyone I'm new to this and just wondering what anyone's thoughts are on my chances of successfully transitioning well (passable)...

Okay how do you upload a picture, what I tried didn't work...

You have to make 15 posts before you can upload an avatar.

Based on your image I'd say you have a pretty good chance of passing, keep in mind that people go to various lengths to pass and have very different expectations.

I suggest you read up and try to gather as much information as you can, then you will need to figure out how serious your dysphoria is and how much you are willing to sacrifice and realistically estimate how much you will need to sacrifice.

I'd say the following are our options in order of seriousness and popularity.

1. Workout and Grooming (hair removal, hair growth, shaping, exercising the right areas, etc, reversible changes)
2. Hormones and Blockers
3. Top and bottom surgeries
4. Facial feminisation surgeries
5. Various body alteration surgeries and enhancements

I meant in your message not an avatar, but upload a picture through the html thing when you click it.  it says [img][img] or whatever do you insert a link to a picture in there, if so do I need 15 posts as well before I can insert pictures in my posts and replies?

@ Antonia how are you viewing it it doesn't show up for me...

Right click the image placeholder and select "Open Image in a new tab" or hit "Quote" and copy paste the URL into a new tab/window.

Hi Billie!

Welcome to the family.

Is "passable" the key to deciding for you? If not, would it be enough that you could be your authentic self at all times? I hope you find your answers. There is a lot of knowledge here, come in, kick your shoes off, and make yourself at home.
