When you get addressed as male that is usually a good indicator of not passing, in my mind at least.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

PPS: I just posted my  new avatar

PPPS: You are gorgeous, Roberta.

As an aside, my idol, Floor Jansen is 6'1", and 173 lbs, so don't think you're an anomaly okay? We come in all shapes and sizes. Embrace yourself as yourself.

I'm 6' 1", and was around 200lbs when I started my journey. I dropped all the way down to 150lbs, and my doctor said I should gain some weight. I try to stay close to 168lbs now. I do get attention at times, usually people asking if I played basketball or volleyball. No one questions my gender. It's never to late to start.

Love always -- Jessica Rose

Yeah.. Jess, you're gorgeous! Not least because of how you look. That's kind of bottom of the list. But even so, your smile is infectious. :)

No argument here.

You, Jess, and Sarah B are all utterly gorgeous. Yes I have seen Sarah, and she is like... properly gorgeous, too.

And that's probably only like 1/3 because of how you look. We all know Danielle is gorgeous so that's kind of a given. It's how you are with people. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you make someone feel amazing... you are beautiful in their eyes. People can look like a supermodel but be a grade A... um... *takes a chance on the profanity filter*... Douchecanoe.

When you have the light that shines within you... you can't not be an amazing person.

lol so subjective, a woman can still be a woman yet ugly, voice gesture the way you walk and so many subtle differences go to make a no question statement.Or perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder and equally sub jective

I suppose the same woman could be perceived as beautiful and not beautiful by different people.

What someone considers to be beautiful differs among people.

I somehow pass so well that people think I'm straight (I'm a bisexual trans man). I didn't really try to learn masculine manneirisms and I thought I was somewhat feminine, but apparently, I'm just a regular guy for everyone else.

Nobody questions when I go to the men's restroom, nobody guesses that I have a boyfriend and sometimes I even go out with old feminine/unisex clothes I used pre-transition. Do I have any advice on how to achieve that? To my surprise, not really. I just dress masculine, have masculine haircuts and hide my breasts... That along with testosterone for more than a year.

I love it!  My mirror is mute on the subject <snicker>.

Some days yes, others not so much.  I gave up trying to be Jackie Kennedy or Mrs. Cleaver or Bettie White or Doris Day.  I've settled in to late middle age gracefully, much like my own mother who passed in 1999 at 58.
