Today a friend of mine (female) and I went on a dinner cruise to see the Christmas Lights in Punta Gorda.  I decided to go just as plain old me, with no makeup, and no wig on.  We were seated with another couple and had some nice conversation with them.  At the end they said "it was nice meeting you ladies".  Did I come across female enough without any effort to look female?  It was not super bright at the table, but my voice must have been ok and convincing enough?

I looked like this, what do you girls feel?

Oh girl you did did it, 100%, with the voice and mannerisms as a bonus you pass 

I think it would be only natural for them to see you as female, how did it make you feel?

To be honest, it does not feel much for me, because I do not have a real gender identity.  In detail, it made me feel positiv that I can be a female as good as I can be a male, without having to do anything extra to my face/body.  My voice has a natural higher pitch, I just had to watch my speech pattern to not to sound male.  I think once my hair is longer, it will be even easier for me to be female in appearance.
I developed the female mannerism over the last 15 or so years, so it is pretty natural to me now.
My avatar picture shows me with long hair (wig) and makeup to cover the wrinkles, and I have no doubt that I pass as a female when done like this.  But I want to achieve passing without the layers of paint, and I think the hair will do it.
I don't need makeup to pass as a guy, why should I need it to pas as a girl?

I pass as a guy, even though I have no Adams Apple or other dominant male features, and I should pass as a girl just because of  this.  At least that is my goal, after all, mother nature made me to be mostly female (that's why I have boobs without hormones).  I hope that HRT will help me with better fat deposits to female typical body locations.

Linde, that picture says 100% girl.  If you want to pass as a guy, you are going to have to wear a binder.

When in guy mode, I am currently wearing a very tight undershirt, and always a shirt with breast pockets.  But I'd better start to shop for a binder or something like this.
I still feel it is of advantage to be a guy in certain situations.  It does not cause me any dysphoria to be a guy, thus, why not use the ability?
