Haha im just curious what you all think Im not gonna die.

I think the hair makes you look a bit too feminine.

Very boyish. Don't agree with Tristan about the hair.

Well I do agree with him but Im going to keep it. There are guys with hair like this and if I had a buzz cut id look like a butch lesbian.

Nah, you don't need a buzz. Heck, I don't have a buzz and I think look like a butch lesbian sometimes.

You might want to consider restyling it, but if you like it and want to keep it as is then just keep it. To me it would have been the only thing tipping me off, but what matters the most is how you pass in public. Body language and how you present yourself is extremely important. I once got away with passing with long hair, as long as it wasn't in a pony tail.

Unfortunately, I think your voice is one of the big ones.
If people don't hear my voice, but see me, they generally think I'm male.  I act male, I wear male clothing, my face is generally somewhat masculine, although in a softer sense.  Once they hear my voice they just decide I'm a very unfortunate and/or masculine woman.  Your voice will be a big factor in whether or not you pass.  But if you want people to treat you as the gender you want to be, it's best to either a) get hormones ASAP or b) tell them to do it.  Forget the insecurities.  Tell them your name is Kyle, correct them if they get it wrong.

my first impression is you look like a guy of your age in that picture, I don't think your hair is that big of a deal, really.

Huh, that's the only times I've passed. That I've known for sure anyway.

Yeah the hair looks good. The thing that seemed like the biggest tell to me was the chest.

So, I don't spend a whole lot of time on the FtM portion of this site.

I have to say, you look like a mid-teens guy.  Sorry if you are older than that.  You remind me of this guy I knew when I was in highschool.

I don't think your chest is that noticeable either. 


I don't know your situation (if your on T, or how long you've been on it), but you are looking awesome!

Heh, yeah. I'm sure it has to do with face types as well. For some people, shorter hair outs them when they're not on hormones yet and vice versa.

I think that you're looking pretty nice ;p Not sure of your situation (T or no T) but, either way, I think you're doing well :]

Something seems odd around the chest that says "not male"

your hair is kindof poofy.  ive seen guys cuts similar to that, like the surfer curls or skater hair, but with less volume.  stereotypically, hair isnt as volumized in guys.

I have to agree with Josh here, dude.  A tad bouffant!  You pass very well as a young teen guy in your avatar, btw.

I think that is one reason I'm not passing. My hair is extremely thick and curly/wavy. Plus it grows so fast, can't keep up with it. But when I cut it all off, my head/face shape gives me away. Guess I'll just have to wait until T renders me unambiguous.

No problem - get a turban and a big bushy stick-on beard!

As for the topic, this ^.
You pass to me, although I agree with others that the hair and chest could be problematic if you're looking for it.

In this picture I would say you do. I don't see anything odd with your chest and I don't see a big deal with your hair.

Yep u pass like a very young dude but I think u pass better in ur avatar photo.
