Am I passable? I'm pre-everything and I'm kind of young. Please be honest! I can take critiques and suggestions!

You're kind of in between I would say; bit leaning a lot more to look male. I think a shorter haircut would work better and wearing some tighter fitting t shirts.

I see a young lady still. It should not be too much longer though if you are on T.

Mmmmmmmm,  I was confused and thought you were mtf.  You look like any number of teenaged boys.  You won't have any problems.

Disclaimer: Everyone perceives things differently for different reason. My mind is artist based and obsessive, and my opinions are based on my observances of how shapes/colors/angles work in appearance. Don't take anything I say too seriously as you look great.

In the first pic I saw a boy. Your face looks more baby-faced/young here, but still male. Photo position wise, I think the angles in your arms helped to give a masculine affect.
In the second pic, I saw a girl. I think some facial features are probably getting thrown off with the lighting/shadows. Also your lips are more in a frown position, which I think can potentially round out and feminize appearances more. I have a default frown parted mouth which ticks me off though, so this observation might be a bit skewed in that aspect.
In the third pic I saw a male by your face, but a somewhat female-ish structure overall. I think this has a lot to do with the *upper area*. Although it sounds like there isn't much that can be done about that at the moment, so I vote layers if possible.
In your profile pic, I saw male. I believe the hair and shirt helped to box everything off and create angles, which can be associated with masculinity.

I don't know which hairstyle you use more (the style in your profile or the style in the post).
By your profile image, I think your hair length/style is good and the angles of the cut and bangs are masculinizing.
In the pics you just posted, I think the curly strands can potentially emphasize any round features that your face has, in turn making it look more feminine from certain angles.

Overall, I would agree with Elis in the sense that you look in between/leaning towards male, which is perfectly fine (especially while younger). Feature wise, I think your eyebrows and eyes definitely look masculine. Hope this helped, and apologies for saying "angle" about a million times.

My quick google of something to read if you are bored or curious about "stereotypical" angles: http://design.tutsplus.com/articles/the-differences-between-male-and-female-portraits--vector-14954

At a glance, I though you was a guy. I'm from another country, so I'm not much biased because people/genders from different countries really do look different.

With the knowledge knowing your *status*, I can see hints of femininity. But that can also be because I actively search for them. The fat distribution on the cheeks in the second pic looks feminine. But then again, it's a small part. On a whole, you look like a boy. Not sure if you have had T yet, but I guess it will take the soft edge of and make it blunt, masculine.

I think your hair, eyes, head, nose and profile looks masculine.

Pictures 1/2 - Just an average boy, wouldn't take a second glance.
Picture 3 - You do look like a girl.

No sweat, it'll all fall into place.

To me pic 2 is your best you've got the whole bored/dead eyes thing going on there. The other pics could be from a boy band but don't think that's your target.

Aura as much as looks is important and giving off an "I'm soooo F bored" vibe would lean to male especially if you make even talking seem like a chore. It's not much to offer but hope it helps.

UPDATE: I have a more effective binder and tried out a few other things. My hair will be cut again soon. Here are some more pictures that might be better than the ones in the main topic. Feel free to give some honest feedback on these new pictures!






Also, yes, I'm very short. It sucks...

In the first picture, your hair and face are good. Your hips give you away. I would recommend a slightly larger shirt and a slightly wider leg pant to give you the illusion of a more rectangular shape.
In the second picture, your posture is very feminine. Men, especially short ones, tend to try to stand tall rather than slouching. Persons who hate their chest tend to slump forward.
Third picture, good. I would have trouble assigning gender in this one.
Last picture, your very nice smile gives you away. Men rarely grin that way.
Don't worry though, you will get there!!!

Your face is quite androgynous.  With a bit of beard shadow, it would be convincingly masculine. 

I would recommend a more masculine shirt.  Those button-up sleeves are pretty girly, and a squarish cut will give you a more convincing look.

This is one of those rare situations that I actually have useful (though not necessarily great) advice that I can give! Honestly your too well put together, like your trying too hard. I know I'll probably get in a bit of a bind over this, but the easiest way for you to pass would be for you to dress like a frumpy, just rolled out of bed and threw on something from the floor, stoner. I kidd you not.

And I agree, being short sucks at times.

I see you have very beautiful and potential features. But, whether it is "passable" or not depends on many factors, and most importantly, each person's perception.
