FTMax- that is a good point, thanks. I was also raised in the south, and I think you probably hit the nail on the head. I didn't even think about that. But I definitely default to cautiously friendly towards new people, which as you said isn't really a masculine thing here in the south. That's going to take conscious effort to change for sure.

Hayzer12- Thanks man. At this point, I am grateful for harsh, because at this point, I think I have to be nit-picky about small tiny things. (Also I'm in a good mood which helps me take these things well  ) As ftmax said, microexpressions could be a factor. As for voice, do you have some advice, or perhaps could point out specific things you may have noticed? I do think it's not as male as I'd like, but it's hard for me to pinpoint what I can fix about it myself and what I just need to be patient for on T. As you said, my voice will probably continue changing. I have been trying to change some of the thins previously mentioned, like trying to not vary my voice so much. It'd be easier if I could hear my voice as if I were a stranger though XD

Jay- I should see about that. I will be switching doctors soonish, and I am definitely going to bring up my concerns with the new doctor.

*also a note, I uploaded a new 8 month video to my blog and I just got my hair trimmed

Holy voice drop Batman!  This has been a big month for you!  Not only voice drop (did you notice??), but face looks different, and it is not just the shorter on the sides hair (which I recently started doing on advice of friends).  Your face shape is different.

To be completely honest, I actually didn't notice XD Someone did say my voice had gotten deeper over the two weeks they were out of town though :3 But I just played both videos back to back and I hear the difference now.

There's a guy on youtube who went thru the round face thing, Closet Transgender. Funny how his face changes. But he does clearly have a moon type face for awhile. As luck would happen, he has an excellent channel, but you don't really have to watch the videos to see it.

Thanks Jay! I'll definitely take a look when I get a chance. I looked through old video thumbnails and I see what you mean my roommate is asleep right now and i can't find my headphones so I'll check out his channel tomorrow!

I'm not sure how you carry yourself when you walk, or any of your other mannerisms, but perhaps try and film yourself. Set a camera up in your house, and just watch your movements; see if there's any sort of giveaway on that end.

You could show a bit more of you... maybe making a vid where your chest can be seen, and showing some mannerism...

maybe getting a bit further backwards from your pc...

for privacy you could leave the vid up only a few days if you would prefer that...

This happened to me to some extent in the first several months on T. I came to the conclusion that I wasn't passing as a result of mismatched situations so to speak. My voice was deepening but at the same time sounding like I had just hit puberty. Aside from that I had just started getting facial hair. Those aspects combined with looking much older in OTHER ways (i.e. dressed for work) was sort of a dead giveaway that I wasn't a cis gendered male.

Long story short, maybe context is the issue. It'll pass with time. Best of luck.
