I have to agree with you, she looks stunning! It actually makes me sad reading that she thinks she has guy written all over her since she looks 10 times better than I do.

I tried to get some opinions of what I looked like on here and on ->-bleeped-<-. I didn't get an answer on here, but on ->-bleeped-<- they thought I looked like a guy. I just don't bother sharing my picture and asking that any more.

Pre everything. I feel the brown wig is cheap looking and I look better as a blonde but maybe I need another wig style.  Also, my makeup is rusty and I know it needs work.  I don't think I pass yet or maybe I do a bit, and I definitely need to shed about a 100 pounds to look somewhat acceptable.

I don't think a bad experience should prevent you from getting opinions that could help you. Just my two cents. This thread seems pretty active so I'm sure you'll get some feedback here.

You look so pretty Kira. I am amazed. I can not wait to start HRT. I just hope that after 10 months I look at leafs half pretty and happy.

Well... If you say so. I have a hard time believing you though. This picture was kind of a bet between my girlfriend and I. She said I definitely look like a chick. I say there's no way in hell I don't. So, yeah... I guess she wins for now. Hopefully you didn't say that to make me feel better ;(

Part of me dosen't care as enough people are reading me as female so I've decided to go full time. But validation and helpuful advice is always apreciated. Yes I know the lighting is bad in these photos sorry

I'm going to say that I think you look better with brown hair.  Maybe it's the wig style, but the shorter hair seems to suit you over the long.  The first two photos appear far more passable to me.  (What is your natural hair color?  My hair is dark, and when I tried a blonde wig a while ago it looked wrong - didn't match my skin color, eyebrows, etc.  It was quite a jarring image.)

Pre-everything, you're doing well.  My only recommendations would be start the facial hair removal yesterday (huge for passability), and work on getting access to HRT.  You're absolutely on the right track!

I don't want to sound whinny at all, but I did post here in the past and didn't get any feedback. That's actually why I turned to ->-bleeped-<- to see if I could get a response there. I think it is more about how the forums are set up and the amount of activity that caused it to get overlooked. ->-bleeped-<- is set up in such a way that your post doesn't get lost in the mix.

I got some negative feedback on ->-bleeped-<- which just caused me to slip more into a negative mindset. I believe that many transgender people post this information because they are reaching out for confirmation that the gender they don't want is melting away and the gender they are trying to achieve is starting to show. I know for one that is the reason I was doing it, but I didn't get that type of feedback. It was more of a judgement of my physical comeliness than the gender I was expressing. I don't care if I look like an ugly person; I care if I look like a woman.

I still get strangers that I interact with that call me "sir" or if they do call me "ma'am" they then apologize for calling me that. I always tell them there is no need to apologize, you got it right. It has been ten months of this now and it is getting more and more depressing. To see people that post on her that look so stunningly feminine saddens me, because it makes me wonder even if I did look like that, would I still be carrying around this thought that maybe I just don't look female.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread like this, but I just needed the rant.

Hun, it is ok to rant! this is a support site if there were no people on here ranting or venting then this site would probably shut down. there is no need to apologize we are here for you!

Thanks Brenda. My natural hair color is dark brown. I guess I'll ditch the blonde wig and look for something more my color. I definitely think I need another style in either a bob or a longer length.

The requisite for this thread and in fact the entire forum is to be supportive and saying what's nice. When users keep quiet sometimes it's because there was nothing nice to be said, because saying anything otherwise than anything nice would subject the user to serious tone policing

Giving an honest opinion and being nice aren't mutually exclusive. What's the purpose of coming to the thread if you're not willing to answer the question "Do I look, or could I pass, as female"? It is the name of the thread, after all...

I'm sure you didn't mean to come across like that, but how offensive!

When users keep quiet in this thread, it's often because they've just missed the photo, not because there's nothing nice to be said.  To assume that anyone who doesn't elicit a flood of "you look so girly!" responses has no redeeming qualities is just absurd.

THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES TO A PHOTOGRAPH IN THIS THREAD IS IN NO WAY INDICATIVE OF A PERSON'S LOOKS.  MORE RESPONSES != PRETTIER.

First picture I've been happy with.

Also, I've found that in most cases when you don't get too many reaponses, it's because of the quality of the photoraphy. In this picture I don't see anything particularly masculine, but it's also taken at an angle that it's hard to make out all your features, so it's hard to say based on this one whether you pass or not. I think that's why you didn't get too many responses, but just going by this picture I don't see anything that stands out as masculine -hugs-

Awww thanks girls for the feedback! Ughhh I feel so sad at my nose, it upsets me so much, have any of you noticed any change in the nose on HRT? I'm hoping mine can decrease just a tad lil, cause it's way too large and fatty.

Pinkkatie, I agree with Ataraxia! A picture so close doesn't really favor anyone. You should try taking it from another angle and more far away. I do think that you could maybe wear more feminine frames, or maybe ditch the glasses altogether? The makeup looks great, you applied it flawlessly!!

MRV35, you look amazing for pre-HRT!!! You actually pass, at least in the pictures you do!!! You still have to train makeup a bit anc remove the beard shadow but other than that, you look fab!

As far as I'm concerned, you seem to be coming along nicely.  You know though, I'm not sure what it was about that older pic but I kinda miss seeing that as your avatar.  Not sure if it was the way you were standing or that combined with the red outfit, but the look came across well.  Great pick for a name as well.   Dani

Brow bossing quite pronounced here.  You would pass better with this dealt with.

Please don't hate me for my honest but not malicious opinions .
