Hmm. I know the glasses rule. I actually thought about getting new glasses (I've had the same for quite a while) but both times I went the optometrist (two different ones) talked me out of it because of "how well the glasses suited my face". I usually get misgendered before I speak, so I'm not sure it's the way I speak. I never do anything with my eyebrows...this is about as thick and bushy as they get. How would you suggest making them appear fuller without it looking like I'm wearing makeup (which won't help)?
Well, the glasses actually DO look great on you. The problem is that the optometrist knows you are male, so that is not something they would question (or consider as an issue), while they are helping you pick out glasses. They know you are male, so they assume everyone sees you that way.
You are not looking for glasses that just look good on you, but also ones that help you pass. I am assuming you have not offered that up to them that you would like glasses that assist with this.
Assuming you haven't done this, maybe next time you say to the optometrist that you are looking for glasses that highlight your masculine features. Tell them you heard that glasses that are more square will do this. Throwing the masculine features this into the mix may impact the glasses they suggest.
Just a thought.
Not knowing your body shape, if it is more female, that will of course impact someone "passing", too.
