It's mostly in your head and your only Ms.galaxy. I have similair issues. In your case it's DEFINITELY unwarranted

However, you need to start believing it yourself or you'll never be/feel free

Trying to play a little more subtle with the makeup today.

Here is my last try, which was a bit over the top.


Here is me today, with a much less overpowering application


Better?

Hey Annabella, nice to see you again 

I keep thinking "That wig needs to be dark or your brows needs to be light" Hard compromise I know but it doesnt look natural otherwise. Nice skin and that top you're wearing in both pics would be a "must buy!" one for me, love elegant black

Thank you YinYanga

Regarding the wig.. I have access to five wigs from props right now. This one is the least offensive to my sanity. I will be ordering a darker one soon, but for now I am stuck with this.... thing on my head haha. I think I could have done with a bit more eyeliner today.. it's just soooo hard to wash off later :]

As for the top, I found it on the bargain rack at Target.. it is currently the only totally feminine top I actually own, which is why it is in all my photos XD

While I was at Target one of the employees actually walked by and looked at me all judgingly for being in the women's section and said "Umm... can I help you?" in the most derisive tone.
I responded, in the most polite and happy way I could muster "Nope, I'm just fine thanks!" and kept browsing.

I hate those people aswell...it's so obvious they think you're not in the right place. Just let me be, use your brain, if I need your help I'll ask! ^^

My wardrobe is puny atm aswell, I just have 2 camisole's (simple tops with spaghetti wraps) that I wear. Shopping saturday with my to be sister-in-law, both looking forward to it, need to score some deals so I can go out more often

I have had more issues with applying eyeliner than removing it. Olive oil, lotion and a shower afterwards goes a long way removing mascara and eyeliner

My current wig is this one. I'd rather have no wig. Had a makeup consult earlier this week, bit much for everyday I still feel

Here's a picture of me. Hope its okay.

About time you show everyone else your picture. Told you there was nothing to worry about. And I'm completely confident every post regarding you being pretty (and feminine) is 100% honest. You know I said I gave up on you, but really I was still hoping that you'd come around. You really pissed me off with all the whining, mostly because you refused to listen to anything good I had to say, but now I can say that I am really proud of you. I know this was a big step. Sorry I was so hard on you.

You are underestimating the quantity of freckles in question...it's not an odd smattering on the cheeks in a cute manner...it's more a "Woah...what happened to your face? Do you have a disease!?" ^^;

Oh pshaw! I love freckles, they are adorable and give faces such cutie pie character! *wants to see the freckles*...

Thanks alot. I try to give my best. Its one of my better pictures.
I'm passing as woman, no idea if i'm pretty or not. I never got any feedback from my family, friends, etc ...

Have you asked them though? I asked my brother last week...bit of a difficult talk however, probably have to ask other people at some point

Talk, talk, ask, ask...feedback is something you need if you're insecure

So, I haven't posted here in a while but some of you may have seen me before.. there hasnt been much change, still havent found the courage to face our borderline fascist transgender-commitee, so no HRT

That said, I do present female from time to time; what do you think, am I passable or just a lost cause? lol

I am shy and terrified of meeting people's eyes when not in robot-male-mode, but I figure if i post here at least someone will see me and know I am alive..

Apologies in advance for breaking the drop-dead-gorgeous streak you have going on here

Passable with a capital P!!! Awww yeah! Nice complexion, subtle makeup, nicely shaped brows. I'm jelly.

It's only you who says the streak ended

Welcome back, hope you get to courage to face the 'baddies'. Youre gonna have to eventually and you know that aswell

Anabella, the toned down makeup looks really good.  You're missing perhaps the most important thing though...mascara!  I recommend spending some time on YouTube watching eye makeup for beginners videos.  There are some great ones out there.

Well I've got plenty!  My problem right now is that I have to wear such heavy foundation to cover the beard shadow that I have to cover up all my freckles to make my face look even.  But once I can get the laser done, I'll be able to tone down the foundation and show off my freckles.  Yay for being Irish!!

That wig looks 100 times more natural than mine XD
Also, your lips are incredible, even without that makeup, I would be surprised if you have any trouble passing.

I'm with YinYanga, the streak is not broken.
You pass 100%.
Your subconscious self doubt is just doing it's part to make you your own worst enemy

Wow Galaxy, you are actually kinda hot. You actually remind me alot of Amy Lee (lead singer of Evanescence):


From your posts about HRT I wouldn't have thought you look like you do, you are very feminine. You jaw is visibly less wide than your cheekbones, your chin is rounded not square, your brows are good, your shoulders are good, and your skin looks nothing short of amazing. If I saw you on the street I would have no idea you were trans at all. I would just be thinking about getting your number lol

I know, she's pretty isn't she. I've been telling her this for some time now, but she doubted me. Galaxy your very pretty. As for whether your family thinks you are you should ask them. Their answer might surprise you.

Thank's Galaxy for posting. I know it took courage.

Delighted to make your acquaintance galaxy

You need to give yourself A-LOT more credit hon!

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words everyone, way to go brightening my day

Not sure I quite believe you on all accounts (should have picked more moderate phrasing if you wanted to be believable? lol  ) but you sure did boost my confidence. I do see where you are coming from, sometimes, but from some angles I look distinctly masculine. Oh well.


Oh, and YinYanga and galaxy; you both look 100% cis, if you two have any doubts you really shouldn't have ^^ nothing says male about your appearance whatsoever, you are both gorgeous !
