So as some of you know i am going on holiday on Friday and I'll be using my brand new untried male passport. Not being on T and having quite a large chest i am panicking slightly( ) about getting thro customs. To make it worse we're going on a cruise so i will be seeing the port officials of several countries including Russia. What i would like to know is just how scary does it get? I'm not good at new situations as it is and this one is really starting to freak me out

Hope all is well, tell us how it goes.

well , as long as you act naturally and the photo matches it will be fine , government officials have a talent for picking up fear or worry characteristics on people and that's when they look hard , otherwise they mostly won't even notice anything , so i say don't worry at all , and , i mean , whatever happens ,screw them ,your out to have fun , time for yourself ,so just don't mind. bon voyage ^_^
