Feeling crummy and really dysphoric.

Face passes but I think you need a new hairstyle. I don't think that fits you, I think you need something with one single side part.
I would also recommending trimming the sideburns.

I agree with the hairstyle change, other than that you look fantastic 

Been feeling rather dysphoric lately and feeling like I am not managing to bind proper and such. Guess it didn't really help being constantly refereed to as my birth name and she for an entire day at an event after being out and living as myself for a year. But, been on T now for 2 months and I was wondering if I pass?

Sad to say this but you don't pass. It's not really the clothes but the hair and the glasses. So if passing is very important to you, you're going to need to go a bit shorter and not have large bangs covering your face. I had the bangs and I wasn't passing until I got my recent haircut and using pomade to have the hair not falling on my face. Made a huge difference.

I'm actually working on getting the top of my hair a bit more trimmed. I cut it shorter since it was getting rather long and messy, but they left a bit too much at the top, seeing if a friend of mine is up for cutting and fixing it up. Can't replace the glasses though since I don't have the money for it and those are actually men's so Better then the pink glasses I had before Don't wear the glasses all the time, but this is the first time someone comments about the glasses. Been told I actually pass better with them then without because I have rather large eyes and long eye lashes, or so I was told and that wearing glasses makes me less soft and 'toony', not sure what they meant with that

I see. I'm just going by what I see in a picture but yeah, you definitely need a haircut.

I think you pass great, I don't know what the other people are talking about. The hair needs to be trimmed but that and the glasses are working.

I think you pass OK, albeit as a very young guy, maybe 15-ish.

I do get what some folks don't like about the glasses: the squareness of them is good, but they're too large for your face, and I think they emphasize its roundness and make it look more delicate than it should. And yeah, the hair would be better off your face more; at least, swept more off to the side with a bit of a part.

Dalex, I think that you are looking good.  I would say that you pass better in this picture than the ones you have posted in the past.  I think you are off to a good start!

Thanks everyone

Finally got my hair cut short.. I actually think this is a pretty decent step forward.. Even if the whole masculine thing is out of the question probably.


With and without glasses because I guess I look a bit different..

definitely more of a pass without the glasses. i'd recommend parting your hair to one side. try experimenting and see which makes you feel most confident also congrats on the cut!

The new cut definitely suits you! I'd also say you look more masculine without the glasses.

Do I pass?

Definitely, you look like a cis guy, there's nothing you should change.

Total pass. You remind me of Neville Longbottom in the last movie of Harry Potter series. Both very handsome guys.

Dude, your eyes grab me. Quite the striking gaze into the camera there! Yes, you pass.

And now for the current  patch version of myself.
