Hello all... I'm wondering if anyone can offer me feedback on passability, and things i can adjust to improve my overall presentation.  Thanks!

Hi ccb. Welcome to Susans!
Would love to give feedback, but your pic isn't showing up.

Sure, can you tell us a bit more about yourself? Show a pic?

hrm... My pic is showing up on my computer... how do you insert a pic in this board?  I tried hitting the insert image button but it gave me a programming prompt in my message, and i just pasted the pic info into the middle, is there a way to attach a file?

It does, but there's something trying to eat your head from the left. Lose the pasted-on hair so we can better help you.

I cant see your pic at all but anyway here is some general stuff a woman can do to improve her appearance.

always take great care of your skin I like alphahydroxy's and retnol A's and micro derabrasion kits. use this stuff on your hands as well. stick with it and most likely you'll add some fem to you face and hands just by improving your skin. Never leave your makeup on all night!!!

Take hormones of course (see a doctor)

exercise your you butt and hips muscles? I lay on my side put waits on my knee bend my knee and move my leg in a circular motion you'll feel the burn in your butt and over your hip bone. This will work in addition to hormones to give you a nice round rear.

Also stay away from things that strengthen your upper body this all should help you take a female shape.

Make up thats a hard one to explain it is something that evolves with you as you become a woman. Just as it does with a teenager to a woman. I would say less is more tell you know what your doing.


Hope this general info helps love!

Trust your own inner feeling. Look in the mirror and if it's good for you fine. Now the fun part. Go out some where and see others reactions. Myself the voice is a dead give away. I'm working on that. Look at this as awakening of the real persona. A very beautiful one. Some compare it to metamorphisis. I've been a CD for years and mostly in the closet. It is so wonderful to be yourself and open up. That may be the most important improvement. You are beautiful merely in the fact youv'e asked others for help. I feel that is demonstrating faith and some compassion for others. True Beauty. Hugs, Genevieve

Mister, I caught the joke. That's a very macho A**** way of thinking,but true. She's invisible until dinner time, or I need clean clothes,etc. But the others look good at closing time.

i'ts not my way of thinking, it's the thought process of the modern caveman.

I don't know many men like that, and I doubt you do either unless all you do is sit and watch TV shows from the 1950s and read books from the 1700s.

Oh, crap. Does that mean I'm out of step with the rest of society?

If you want to develop a good personal style, start keeping a scrapbook of pictures and styles that you like, on a daily/weekly basis.  Write about what you wear each day, and maybe take a picture to accompany it.  Then see what works for you and what doesn't.  Over time, this in conjunction with the scrapbook, will give you an awesome sense of style, better than most of your peers.

With makeup, less is more.  The more you can look like you're not wearing any makeup, the better. 

With hair, try  a bunch of diffrent products, see what works, and then switch every so often.
