Okay first of all - WOW
You look like one of my cis female co-worker. You are pretty Leila. Does your SO get insecure of you? LOL just joking.
It truly inspires me and gives me hope that I can reach that level of change that you are now enjoying.

Overall, a total hawt babe. 110% pass

April

Aww thanks April.

My SO does say I spend too much time in front of the mirror. LOL

Give it time hon and let the HRT work its magic. Your latest avatar already says to me you aren't far behind yourself.

No makeup or hrt, just me and my first 100% clean shave in 2 years. Whatcha thing? Never thought I was much of a looker

I think you could pass really well, you have soft features and your eyebrows already look thin, and theres not much of a brow ridge that i can see
ya look good!

Aw thanks, feels weird not having a stash ATM but I always looked a lot younger. Im thinking of some makeup, never had any b4 so no idea on how I would look, or how to put on makeup period. What you don't see is I'm still abit bulky since I used to lift a lot. Looking to reduce my arms and shoulders.

18 mos HRT (7mos herbals) .. FT 4 1/2 mos (since Oct 10th)..  6 laser sessions down, prob 2 more then switch to electrolysis..  still lost of work..  my profile pic is today.. my hair.. real hair.. I'm still not passing.. without the wig, I could not pass in a dark room..

looking GOOD Psuls C   

Paula you look great!  I still don't see why you don't pass with your real hair vs the wig.

I've always followed your posts and you've made such g ood progress.  I am still stuck in the laser phase, and I probably will be for awhile because I have so much   I don't know what is wrong with me because I have such a girl body but so much face hair.

I just had my 5th treatment and still have a lot of shadow on the chin and upper lip- the dysphoria is absolutely depressing.  On the plus side, my hair is getting long and it looks like it will work well once it gets longer.  Haven't gotten to start HRT yet, but when I do i'll probably go low dose and just block the T to help get rid of the hair.

This is me pre anything I'll be starting hrt in 6 days..
I need to do something with my eyebrows but I can't since I'm still guy mode at work

9 months hrt. Voice is okay if i'm sober. I want a nose job btw.
What do you think (yes thats me)

You have amazing jawline, I could kill for it, seriously. Your nose looks OK too and it will look thinner on HRT due to changes of skin texture and areas around bone. I cant see Your brow from this angle and Your hair gets in the way, but it does not appear that You have had that much of androgen impact during Your puberty! HRT will be amazing on You.

OMG you made my day. I 'm not sure when, if I will at all, take hormones but its good to hear I have potential I have been mistake for a girl from behind, but I do live in a area where there are alot of, and I don't want to be  offensive at all so correct me on the right term, butch type ladies and I guess I look like one

Alright, I feel I can now confidently post these now.

So Yesterday 2/24/15 I went out in "girl mode" as myself for the first time, primarily to do errands, get blood drawn, hang out at the mall and all that fun stuff.

Hung with a girlfriend who is also trans and before I left I took notice of my body in the bathroom of the Gay and Lesbian Center in L.A. and for the first time ever, I could see a female body there.



My body has really given me confidence to go forth and do this. I really feel like a lady now despite the mental blocks I'm trying to fight.

I naturally was afraid of what people were going to think of me and I DID get stares on all the buses I took and I took a lot of them.

But here is where the crazy stuff happened: instead of being scared and worried about what they thought, when they stared, I just got PISSED! I had like no worries or fear at all. I'm like "CAN I HELP YOU!?!" I was worried so much of the fear, but what actually happened was that I felt none of that at all, just being annoyed and pissed at these freaking people looking.

So I went to the mall afterward with my friend and I went to the Ladies bathroom and had a surprisingly "normal" time passing. My face needs work, but my body is REALLY saving my ass in passing more. You saw the picture.

A lot of people were very nice and accepting when I went to a few stores. It really shows the acceptance within the age gap of people. The older people were more prone to staring than the ones my age and younger but instead of stares, they smiled.
That was a very great experience there.

Also got my eyebrows trimmed. That... Was an experience.

Look at these pictures!

But yeah, first "official day" you can say and so far so good.

This is the current look of myself with the new eyebrows and wanted to ask overall how my face looks.
I know I feel I pass in body, but my face has always bothered me for years. Thanks ladies:



- Trini

Keep it going Trini... You go girl ...dont take crap from anyone. Your body has slowly molded into a nice figure you can be proud of.

My very first wig came today.  I'm so excited, I decided to bite the bullet and post a picture of myself here.

Disclaimer!  I'm wearing NO makeup, but I did just shave and moisturize.  And I'm quite aware of the fact that I have 100+lbs to lose (18 since Jan 10!). So no fat jokes!  [emoji13]  And I'm wearing my regular male glasses because I liked the picture better with glasses.

So here goes...

Do I have potential?  Be kind! [emoji5]

 
Just remembered there's ... actually a thread for this very thing. While I elaborate more on it in my post further down the page, I have a feeling I'll get a quicker response here.

What do you think?

Hi Amy, I don't think you pass right now, just give the Hormones more time to do their work, and then reassess, and see where you are in another year.  Your lower face may feminize enough, but you do have a cleft chin, which is something that a lot of women do not have. And your forehead will not change from HRT, so you may want to consider FFS in the future.

So here is my starting point, on Monday I begin HRT.  This is with my real hair, light mascara, light eye shadow, lip gloss and a little concealer w/ powder to try to hide a couple skin blemishes.  I know I've got to get my eye brows thined and shaped but I have to wait a couple months to get that done. 



So is there hope that once I've been on HRT I will be able to pass?  I'm pretty sure I am going to need to get my hairline lowered.  Any other obvious things that will need to be done?

I'm 16 years old and pre-everything.. ignore the picture of Jesus lol, do I pass?

I applaud each and everyone of you who post a pic and asking for an opinion. It takes a lot of confidence to ask a stranger what they think.

Bravo!
