ErinS, u loook super good! for some reason u remind me of Lindsay Lohan in the car movie where she wears many denim

anyway here is a picture o f me im pre-hrt and not wearing makeup or anything because it would probably make my skin even grosser lmao

i know i dont particularly pass, and im not really at the point where im trying to do that because im not out to my parents at all, so this is like pre-literally everythin g

its ok hun, u have a really good base, and I definitely don't think ur skin is gross . U have some very feminine features.

Also ur hair <3

aw thanks !! and by gross skin i mean objectively gross, i have super sensitive skin and probably an allergy to some types of makeup and my face gets all red if i wear any haaaaah. also i'm just weird about it, like i get a little anxiety from especially like theater or stage makeup. maybe someday ill have time to experiment and im sure some weird whole foods organic stuff would work and not inflame my skin

also!!! this picture is from march I think and my hair is a little longer and a lot less magenta and i want to dye part of it again but i dont know what to do!
im pretty satisfied w/ the way I look tbh and sometimes ppl mistake me for a cis girl like on that awful website omegle sometimes but no matter ^~^

honestly though with ur skin and apparent lack of facial hair.  I don't think u need make up. u are beautiful with out it

Yes. You look like a GG to my eyes. You seem to already know something about girls' fashion.

Thanks Barbie 

Guy mode has been long gone!

lol i tried to butch up to walk my pup, this is the best I could do. A trans friend showed this pic to her trans friend, and she read me as FTM. 

Think guy mode is probably over lol.

ErinS - love that outfit, lol .
My take on "denim tuxedos" - my usual office look. Not that I am trying to fool someone anymore (most attempts to pass as a guy seem to be pathetic, so I would dare to say that I kinda pass) and strangers apparently dont care what I am wearing, lol. Last week I spent a couple of days abroad in legal conference (casual attire was acceptable) and at the end I got strong impression that most of the people I did interact with had no idea that I was not a cisgirl.

Below is what I wore shopping at Target yesterday. My emerging casual look clearly has many of the same elements of my clubbing look. My love affair with spaghetti western wear, crosses over that line, as well as my love affair with skeleton motifs (both my bracelet and my shoulder bag in these pictures have those).

I am tall enough to play in the NBA, and my natural voice is very base. I will never really pass in the conventional sense, but I see that as liberation rather than a obstacle. Because going really low key gains me nothing, I am free to be exactly what I feel inside. I know I will get noticed when I come into any room because of my style choices, but I actually break the ice a lot quicker that way. People look right at me, and I simply say "I am April". I smile and own that the best I can, which I think I do pretty well actually. I see it as a different kind of passing. I pass being who I am.

Throwing this out there... This is pre-anything (I just started HRT a few weeks ago). I've gone out shopping like this, but I know I didn't fully pass. But, I'm hoping HRT can help me out over the next couple years.

Yes. I can feel strong energy from your photos. You should be a working girl.

Probably I am in the same situation as you.

Yes. You look unique and fashion-sensible.

The one without sunglasses is from a few years ago, and the one with sunglasses is more recent. Do you think I would have any chance of passing? I know makeup and doing something with my hair would help, but I feel like I may have trouble passing because of my nose, jawline, and chin. Any thoughts?

This is from a few months ago.  First time fully presenting female, felt so relaxed.

You look very nice, Robin.  I love that necklace.

Okay, I know I don't pass, but what about my nose and chin?  I'm not going to do anything with my forehead, but I do worry about my nose and chin.  Any thoughts?
Btw, don't mind the chest hair.  My wife won't let me shave there yet.

Did you get ur face lasered?! If not you conceal your shadow really well - ur skin looks great. Especially the head on pics.

Noise/chin I think makes sense with your face,, there's a harmony there. Rounder perhaps, but not necessarily masculine. 

Actually you look really good for your first time. Hugs

Your nose is the bigger issue. Your chin isn't really bad at all. Hugs
