Just wanted to post this. It's from a little over a month ago for my cousins wedding. I'm a naturally very small shouldered person due to a genetic bone defect so I concocted a shoulder padding to help me pass structure-wise until I've managed to help reverse as much of the detrimental damage as I can and gain some muscle mass to compensate. Until now I've made a habit to wear a hoody with the opening wide at the top to give the illusion of broadness. Going along side I have highly load-bearing hips... I may be lucky as hell in regards to androgens, but as they say, hips don't lie. Basically this post is less about my facial appearance but my body. I don't feel fully certain how well i pass due to my hips being so large. Losing weight but the hips will take forever to go away due to my small shoulders :C.

Anyhow what do you think? Yes I am pre-T, and yes I have abnormally high androgen levels due to severe PCOS, but no it's not naturally this dark. I use mascara on my facial hair to darken and thicken it like folks do to their eyelashes, haha. I sense I will likely be a hairy SOB after T, but who knows.
As a side note: yes using my mascara trick passes in public. I use it pretty much every time I leave the house unless I need to go to a doctor or something else that involves me addressing myself by legal name.

Om,man ,you 100% pass ....what a nice dude

Not 100% honest because I'm standing a bit on the side but whatever... I was told by my shrink whom I had never met prior of starting my transition that she tended to forget I was born female so I guess that's good at least though meh, I still feel my biggest problem are the hips sigh:



I get this feeling that I look fine if I would just focus on the upper portion of my body but it goes to hell as soon as you move towards the hip area. I also look very broad and masculine on the back for some reason (been doing those push-ups), but this is not at all true on the front. WHY YOU DUMB BODY. Also not wearing a binder here but a sports bra because I ran out of clean ones.

(Also for those wondering what that thingie at the bottom is, it's the top of my cat's ear.)

Here's another I took yesterday when I was trying out new clothes:

hey ,man ,u r asian  and me too and you pass !!!! cheers

Ignore the horrible pose oh my god I photograph so awkwardly
Please be honest, especially if you have tips!

I've been on T for about 9 months but haven't had any surgery
I've been thinking about makeup
Just some subtle contouring to try to make my face more male
What do you guys think?

You pass!!!

I'm 4 weeks on T today and so far I don't think anything has really changed.
But I wanted to ask if you guys think I pass better with or without my glasses?

My hair is really stupid and naturally flicks like that...
Was wanting to let it grow out a bit but I think I might actually just go right a head and cut it again, anyone got any suggestions?

I think you pass better with glasses too. Your hair looks good as it is or a bit shorter. But it's ultimately what you want to do... Hair can always be cut and always grows back

I'm with everyone else, Dalex, the glasses angle out your features and masculinise them.

Since I'm too new to embed photos, I just made a quick 3-pic album on imgur with some Pre-T photos, all with my binder on. The top two are the newest, after I gave myself a new haircut. The popped collar in the last one was a joke, I promise! Haha

Aside from wondering if I even pass as well as I think I do, I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me going into T (I'm starting tomorrow) to help me pass even better.

i think that you pass in the last picture (just need to change up the hair a little), but the first one is an awkward angle and the second pose....kind of throws me off? it appears feminine, in my opinion. have you tried putting your hair up with wax? not a stiff look, but make it messy and up?

as for t... your body will change on its own, but you could always work out to boost your t levels.

Yeah I haven't really mastered the art of selfies yet, it's kind of a new development for a less-than-confident creature such as myself. As for the hair, that longer hair in the 3rd pic is gone, replaced by the shorter hair in the top two photos. I wear it a little tousled since it's longer up top, but it doesn't look so great "up" IMO. I actually have been working out on weight machines, every other day, but I had to burn a lot of fat before the muscle or anything would show.

First time I've ever asked this.  I was hope you guys would have some tips for me? I tried taking out my earrings, but I felt that they holes the left in my ears made me look like obvious/trying to hard. I hate my thighs and hips, so I tried to hide them with baggy stuff. And I dunno what's with the odd stance in the last picture. But I tend to hunch when I'm trying to flatten/hide my chest.

try different glasses. i feel like the frames feminize your face.... as for the earrings, do you like studs? if not, maybe smaller hoops? with the baggier clothes your body looks straight so that's working for you! haircut works too, maybe trim it up a bit though?

The earrings are ok, they don't "out" you as fem, but gotta agree, get a cut and try diff frames. Otherwise, looking real good
