Ummm, those are a bit tricky, gypsy . Tbh, I would say that You look totally andro and if I met You (sans makeup) on the street, I would have quite hard time to figure out Your gender. You are extremely lucky in terms of Your very feminine build, and then there are some small details which make the confusion. Firstly, I think it's Your glasses. They sent the first question mark to my brain. Second, its Your posture and facial expression. I know this sounds chauvinistic, but relax and smile, dammit! Beard shadow does not need any comments, but that is fixable. And yep, I would say - give those hormones some more time to soften up Your features and You will pass without any issues. Face-wise, I did not see any male gender markers either (but those shots were frontal anyway, so I have no idea what Your brow looks like) - yep, You do have some well defined facial muscles, but HRT regimen will melt those away.

@Deinewelt, thank You . I know, I know... it's all about determination and will power. I am not like You - whenever I feel hungry, I prefer food over water and eat big amounts during day

@ElDudette

Gotcha! Now, I understand Your message - yep, English can be tricky at times, and I did not figure out that "slight" was used as noun instead of adjective. And it is always useful to know about cultural difference - I had no idea that "butch" is being used as insulting term in the US...

@ Emily. Yeah it was probably not a good idea for me taking photos when I have been in a down mood. I have to smile at work, it is something I am struggling to do in my off hours when I'm not talking to people.
What do you mean about the glasses? The frames or the lenses. Frames are fixiable lenses I need to literaly see the world through "rose coloured glasses"

Sorry for not being clear enough - and those were frames, ofc . And yeah, it could be literally sensed that You are quite down in terms of Your mood....

Hi all! This is such an encouraging and inspiring thread! I suppose I will post a photo of meself.. this is pre everything, just trying some "subtle" makeup in preparation for a day out in the not too distant future.

and here was a bit more dramatic.. ish



eeep!

Love the first picture ! Might be silly to ask .. x___x but is that your own hair? If so, wah.. I want !

Hun you already look great. Earrings aside, Is that you usual style? if so its awesome that you already feel so comfortable presenting your self in such a feminine way...

Im kinda jealous of your fashion sense! You are going to be an absolute stunner after you start hormones good for you.

Thank you ! Yupp I went for unisex at first and that kindaaa.. changed with time o.o. I do plan on changing it slightly though when I start hormones and pass better. It is also a little bit to play it on safe mode . Insecurities D:

Thank you so much!  And yes it is! It was longer than this a bit over a year ago, then I let my family talk me into cutting it way shorter.. like a sort of bowl-ish cut. Bums me to think it'd be almost twice as long now if I'd not succumbed to my parents badgering. 

And your hair is lovely!! Don't even be wanting mine! <3 It's very dandruff and frizz ridden.. although I actually like frizzy hair. haha!

I would definitely say you pass. I love the make-up and your hair!

Okay, so yesterday I got into an argument with this random person on Twitter. One of his friends told me I looked like a fat ugly man rat? Ever since then I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. The fat ugly rat part didn't hurt me, but when she said man I like collapsed inside. I don't know what to do, I know this might seem retarded. I don't know if she was just being hateful or serious.

Oh sweetie, don't listen to them! You look absolutely gorgeous and I do not see any sign of a "man" anywhere in those photos! You pass 110% to me!

I am curious if I pass as female. It's the first time I've put on make-up and put on a wig that I have fallen in love with. I have short brown hair underneath but I definitely want to grow my hair out to the wig's length! Thank you~!

No you dont look fat, ugly, and definately not like a man so smile! I think she was just being a bitch.

Thank you girls! It's been a rough day at school today and you two made me smile! You both are very beautiful women, and I definitely say you'd pass, EchelonHunt. :-)

Well I made my first actual public outing a couple weeks ago. Went shopping with my mom and sister and I felt really awkward and out of place for a while and kept getting looks which really made me feel uneasy but in the end it was well worth it.

Not sure if it's passing but this was how I looked when I headed out.

Getting out the door is a big hump to get over, getting looks and feeling awkward is just part of the initiation. Once getting out is no big thing then you won't feel so intimidated and you won't project that to others. Glad you had a nice time, it's a big move for you hon, proud of you girl!

@Emily: You look fabulous hun. Very feme by what I see. But most important you look happy confident and content. And that by far outweighs anything else!

@Kirey: Hrt will be very kind to you hun. Your gonna be a knockout!

@Gypsey: You've a feminine body shape. Your right a better hairstyle will do you wonders. More feminine glasses/frames will help also. All in all you look great though.

@EchilonHunt: Your very pretty with lovely skin. Nice soft facial features. You look a lil like a young Meg Ryan.

@Trinity: You look totally feme with makeup, and you don't appear to be fat to me. This random person on Twitter prolly wishes they looked as good as you!

Remembered my password to Dropbox and found hundreds of pics.. All kinds of emotions flying around.  Overall, I'm feeling more confident. Opinions?


Ps
Facial hair phase lasted about 3 months and that pic was taken Dec. '12, right before I decided to destroy it     then the fresh pic was taken yesterday (Sept '14)

That's pretty amazing, you are pretty and amazing!
