I'm kind of set back by all the positive comments and complements, just thought I'd show the after makeup pic for comparison, thanks for all the kind words but I must warn you that you might be over-inflating my ego

Hey girl, a lil overinflated ego is good for the soul! You do look great Antonia!

Antonia wow that makeup's good. You're beautiful

Thanks again Rotika  looking forward to the thread!

Well. This is taking some courage.. but here's me going MtF. Not gunna make excuses. I highly doubt I'm passing, but as far as looks go, I'm curious what you all honestly think. This's just me in makup without HRT hoping one day I gain the courage/confidence to go full time. I really hope HRT will do something about my face.

Sorry for the link, I just don't want everyone on the inet having easy access. Or at least tooo easy of access.

Sounds like a big step for you! I'm happy you made it, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't pass with HRT. You're androgynous from the start, it's mostly the beard shadow. There are other effects caused testosterone but I'm not sure exactly which and looks like they won't be a problem after HRT anyway. I'm guessing that if you grow your hair out it'll frame your face more nicely. You'll look fab - in fact, you do already, just drop the disgusted face in the third pic FYI I'd switch noses with you...

I'm pretty sure with a couple on months of HRT, growing your hair out and a little brow work you'll be passing without any issues. Your facial structure is quite good, nice full lips, high cheekbones, and really nice eyes. I can't tell if your brow is prominent from these pictures but like all of us you probably want to downplay it and the jaw.

If you have not started I recommend hair removal (laser or electrolysis) since this will actually take longer than for HRT to start it's magic.

IMHO You'll have no issues

Yeah I saw this.  I'm guessing you'd pass a lot better than you think!

It is earned girl!! You are just gorgeous!

without HRT

BEFORE HRT??? I hate you! *giggle* 

You are going to literally soar with HRT love!! 

OMG thank you so much everyone! You've all literaly made my day. I was expecting to hear things about my jawline, nose and brow line. But being called andro? I never would've guessed. Right now I can't afford electro or laser, maybe in a couple more months I'll be doing that. All the comments, good or bad, are really exactly what I needed to hear. My wife just doesn't have time to critique my practice sessions since we both work. So coming here for some advice really livens my mood about everything. Thank you all again

Absolutely Rotika, you look great already. HRT is going to be very favourable to  you... I'm jealous too. You definetly look androgynous now which is fantastic, hrt will make that extra difference.

So excited my hair is growing.. pre-hormones.

I love! love! love your hair. And you also have beautiful lips .

I think that with makeup and a female presentation you would look like any other girl. One thing that I think would help would be if you did some eye brow work though

Antonia, you look fantastic, with or without makeup   Really.  Don't worry about passing.  Go out, have fun, and be confident.

It doesn't matter. You will have people say you are ugly, pretty or any combination. It's all relative. I get told I am ugly all the time but you know what? It's just a person's subjective opinion on attractiveness so I don't care.

Yes, and someone else will tell me how gross or ugly I am so when does it matter?

Oh yes, hrt is going to be very kind to you girl. Love your hair. You have great facial features for hrt to sculpt into a very feminine face. If only we all were so lucky, lol

So, i'm new here.  Hope to start I transition, but feedback is needed. Could I be passable?
