So I'm hoping to get some opinions from some of you who have already begun HRT, and have experience with how hormones change your features.

I'm not so much asking if I'd pass (I think it's way too early for that, as I have as of yet to even begin laser hair removal or HRT, and likely won't be able to for another 6-7 months).

Mainly, I want to know what potential you see for my transition? I know everyone responds differently to hormones, but what effect do you think they'll have on my existing face shape, etc.

I've posted a few pictures of myself below from the pride festival I attended this past weekend (my first time out in public as myself  ) I also threw in a photo of me in boy mode from a few months ago for comparison. Unfortunately I don't have any full body shots for comparison. I already know I'm sadly lacking any substantial hips, so a curvy figure is pretty much out for me barring surgery.

P.S. Please forgive the poor makeup. As I was unable to get ready at home (it would have greatly upset my family), I had to change and get ready in a poorly lit unisex restroom at a hospital near the festival 

I think you look fine girl! I just started laser and have not done anything near HRT (yet). It has a lot to do with how you carry yourself in my opinion.

Dierdre

me thinks you've got tons of potential..... btw , who's the dude in the last pic... 

Are you sure that's not your brother?   You look a little alike but that's obviously not you.  I'm not on hrt but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in anyways.  You are beautiful and also awesome because you are also a whovian.   

Yes, you have a lot of potential. I think you are cute now.

Your face is rounded and fits the feminine norms nicely. I would be very much surprised if you have problems passing because even at this stage I only see female in that face.

Looking great already!

If we discount the joke pic with the phony beard in the pic.... What was the question again? Potential to pass as a guy? Yeah.. you can. All the other shots I' say female.

I think you look fantastic. Also love the name it's one of my good friends name and has so much character.

Thank you all for the kind replies.


And Dierdre,

I think you're right about how you carry yourself as well. I was less worried about going out at the pride festival, but walking out of the hospital where I changed and the train ride down to where the festival was being held gave me pause for a moment. But I found that just being myself, and finally being comfortable in my own skin out in public made all the difference in the world.

Your looking brill,
