Shantel and Donna, thank You for those words of encouragement :). Big changes in a way, but still a lot of small steps to take.

Primrose, tnx :). "Bint", lol - I had to look that expression up :). Umm, androgyne is more complicated that just in between, but to keep it simple, I consider myself non-binary, my core identity is female and I am embracing it. But I dont see myself as 100% female and dont think I will ever get there. But having accepted that no matter what, there will always be a minor masculine part in me, I stopped making fuss about that and in its turn, it stopped stressing and worrying me :).

That's kinda how it works!

It thinks that I'm 11 and have a beard...

I think it may need a bit of work still!

HA I think it thinks your necklace is a part of your face... wow.. Yeah, these things are very unreliable.
On one of them I got 3% male running a small version of my picture. Running the larger original (before I cropped it and reduced size) gave me 75% female.

So... yeah, not impressed at this point.
Anything or anyone calling me female makes me feel good though :]

I don't place much stock in these programs. It's something to go have a little fun with then when the novelty wears off it's over. They aren't accurate. One time on pictreiv it picked up the arm of my chair and said it was 56% female, lol!!

So I tried a different photo where I'm actually... you know... smiling.



The thing spat back that I was 75% female. Idk, I don't really think I can pass...

I think you can pass already, but you could look better with a different hairstyle... It's never good to show off the forehead that much like Miranda Sings XD

Not sure what more I can do to my face to help with passing without FFS, I am on 5 months HRT. I was almost thinking of trying to get bangs to cover my forehead, what do you all think about that?

Well, seeing as you already pass (How many times must I tell you!) I think now you're really going to be looking for beauty advice rather than passing advice.. I think bangs would not hurt, or a sweep, more to feminize your hairline than to hide anything.

"Jellly!' was the first thing that came to mind.  Hmm, about the bangs..well you have a short forehead it seems. Not sure if that would look nice but I am a poor hairstylist. I like your current style..perhaps a cut to a length you can appreciate and another colour? For reference look at your picture and focus on the part where your hair gets wavy and lighter. I am seeing a fun look if it's a little longer
You share some facial structures with me that look good: big eyes, nice cheeks...I think your face is feminizing nicely

I'm definately not there yet because I had to cut my hair short due to alopecia (baldness). Wig atm but its awful and I dont wear it alone, boyscut w/e.  but 3 months of HRT has done good things to my scalp already, it seems to restore some so here's hoping ^^

Anyway, looking good Hikari ;)

To be honest, I am not sure if I pass or not, I am only part time, when I have went out, no one really said anything...but they could just be thinking it not saying it so IDK. I mean I have pretty obvious brow bossing and a really long big nose, to me it kinda screams male. It isn't perhaps obvious in that picture because it is more dead on with my nose and brow but look at this:

When I see myself from angles like that, I realize that my nose takes up like half my whole face. And the brow bossing can be seen at that angle too, granted the bossing isn't insane, but I think it is more than a woman would have right? That is the biggest reason I am interested in bangs, because if I could cover that up, that would really just leave me with a nose that screams huge....and maybe huge wouldn't necessarily be seen as male?

I am about to take 2" or so off of my bra strap length hair, because of some split ends, and it seems some newer style would kinda make sense to do at the same time....is there a website or a program out there where you can take a pic of your face and just throw different hairstyles on it?

I am not an E-Expert so I am slowly collecting useful TG-orientated sites ...I havent found anything like that yet but there has to be something. Good tip!

I have your "Nose problem" aswell and it's a worry, more than my brows (Not sure what bossing means) which are prominent but way easier to deal with. You're seeing them up closer when you look in the mirror so you can judge that better I think. It didnt scream male to me from what I've seen

Any other bodyparts we need to discuss and share some tears and advice over?  :D

PS: I dont have any recent photo's but I might make a few. Not ready to post in the thread yet but I feel ok with PMing you if you like some reference...you might even think "It's not that bad afterall!" Rofl

I don't think you need to hide anything... Bangs are harder to keep and it might damage your hair by over-treating your hair... but yeah bangs are not only meant to hide big forehead, they are fashionable, I don't have a big forehead myself but i just love bangs, and they make you look cute :3 and younger for those who need to hide wrinkles there XD so I'm always pro bangs because I like them although i don't need to cover anything, but yeah there are different types of bangs that can help frame your face more feminine... You seem to pass already, what about styling your hair differently? curls or straight hair? It seems to me that they are very natural... Maybe change your color? you should wait 2 years of HRT before thinking about FFS in my opinion you dont need it. What are you thinking on doing?

I think bangs with a layered cut to frame your face would look awesome on you. You don't have brow bossing dear. None that I can see from either of your photos. You actually look great already. But I agree with your idea of bangs or swept bangs with layers added to frame your face would look very nice on you.

Since you're part time, I wouldn't go with bangs yet.  But I would think about it for the future.  A nice side swept bang would be really cute on you. 

And I'm with Ally...I don't see any brow bossing, at least not anything you should be worried about.

Umm... What?  Pass already?  Huh?  No.  That's not even...  Seriously.  You're just being overly nice or something.
