I've been taking lots of photos recently and just experimenting with how I could look. Still waiting for my first GIC appointment. I'm not very happy with my face, neck or shoulders but I can see some potential. What I have found is that the more I embrace my feminine side internally, the more feminine I appear to myself in the mirror. When the dysphoria kicks in though all I see is a bloke in drag! It just shows you how much of this is in our heads. When I look around me, there are so many CIS women who have masculine features. The difference is, they don't feel like they are pretending to be a woman when they get dressed in the morning! I really feel like self-confidence is the key here so hopefully you lovely internet people can help me increase mine :-D

Pre-makeup



Post-makeup



Strike a pose (check out my awesome trainers!)



Filters make everything look better



By the way, I know this thread is a bit shallow in some ways but I really feel like it helps us get some positive reinforcement, so keep putting up those gorgeous pictures ladies!

nice

Indeed Byaniothername, When we feel beautiful we shine, when wer angry or upset it wears heavy on ar faces an makes us look masculine. Or atleast mi aniwae. So I always try to present myself pleasantly.

Makeup, wig and a smile really help at your passing ability. At HRT it would be a lot easier to pass. But you're at a good way and as long you're smiling, you're very safe with your passing.

Thank you! It's lucky that I smile all the time :-)

I wish I could wear some of the things you're wearing as well as you do!

Is my body passing?  ( i dont want comment on face because i know i failed on hiding the beard shadow, just the body)

No, not to me, but you just started HRT.

Hey, I've wanted to be a drummer since middle school! xD

EDIT: Just realized someone took the drummer position. Oh well, maybe I'll go to one of your concerts!

Very cool! Have we got drums, bass and guitar, now? I guess we just need a singer?

I think you're not far off at all. Shoulders don't look too wide. Hips don't look too narrow. Hopefully you just need to let the hrt do it's thing.

PS, how is my latest avatar? I wanted to ask because I think I got lucky with the camera angle and it's maybe the only photo I ever took that's starting to look how I feel I should be. Sorry it's grainy.

Lovely! I am hooked on the eyes! Very dewy eyed and very alluring.

This is one of the biggest hurdles in creating a functional band

Thank you very much Candi!

You should totally do it, striped dresses are the future. That and sparkly shoes. And patterned tights.

You had me convinced right up until "Sparkly Shoes". Love stripes!

Well, here are some pictures I took today while my hair was freshly-brushed after a shower.




How well am I doing?
