I think you look cute too. 🙂 You definitely have feminine features - a small chin, smooth jawline, good shaped mouth, and your nose looks fine to me despite what you say. A little large in profile, but I've seen similar noses on bio-girls. Maybe your eyes look a bit small on your face without shaped eyebrows, but there are tricks with makeup that can make them look larger and more feminine. In the first photo you posted, your neck seemed thicker than typical, but it's not a big concern. Your posture and mannerisms definitely look female to me, and especially from the back it looks like you have a female shape -definitely a girl's butt, as you said. The butt/hips/legs look very female to me in fact, that in combination with your mannerisms makes it easy for me to see why people are calling you ma'am from the back. The shoulders - lots of women have wide shoulders. Lots of models have wide shoulders in fact, and the continuation of shoulder pads in women's wear shows they're often seen positively. Don't worry about them.

maybe im just nitpicking>.<

the behind picture though i feel giant on the top and small on the bottom>.<

No, seriously. You really have an excellent starting point.

Just my opinion, but I think HRT will do simply AMAZING things for you.  Just wait and see ... mark my word.    😉

I certainly hope so! im crossing my fingers!

I agree, especially since you are still young.  Just give HRT a couple of years and you will not recognize yourself.

Not bad for pre-HRT.  The habit of trying to prove yourself as a beast isn't a good one as it's a fruitless endeavor.  There's just no evidence to support that claim.  Your shoulders are fine, I wish mine were as thin as yours.  What will probably happen is that the male V shaped torso will start to go away.  You'd be surprised what hormones will do.  I know I was.

yeah i only have a very basic understanding of what hormones are capable of doing, i cant envision it on myself but from everyone's comments i feel it should be good^.^

Hey! First let me say that you have an amazing sense of style! I am loving the hair and the clothes! I think you look great! You have great legs for it and and HRT will work wonders for you! Good luck!

All I have to say is rock it!  You look great, but you come across as shy in your pics.  You're vastly outnumbered on your opinion that it makes you look like a drag queen, so I'll be expecting the next set of pics to come out with you seeming like you feel as good as you look.

haha! alright i should be getting my eyebrows trimmed in the next week or so and just for you ill try and show off some confidence!

Oh you look lovely for a start Ekuryua and you just mentioned something. Eyebrows! 
Oh my god I am just thinking about the plucking and...   Well it's for the best outcome I suppose but if it's anything like pulling a nose hair which I am sure some of the older ladies have experienced.

"Shudders"  PS never do that while driving it can cause collision with the curb!

Hugs Simone.

Simone, it isn't that bad at all, but yeah, nose hair hurts lie a &*$^!

I had my electrologist take out a few of my nose hairs and I can tell you that it hurts, but thankfully only very briefly and then no cutting.  Sadly, they do not do all of the nose hairs (by law).  My electrologist said that nose hairs are necessary, but at least the outer ones near the front, which everyone sees can go.

You'll be fine hun...you already have a very feminine face and if you get the odd m'am from behind you obvious;y have a head start in the female posture and body language department, so don't worry at all.

Having your eyebrows done willl help a lot, you don't have to do it all in one go, just give them a slightly more feminine shape to start and gradually shape them more and more...it's what i did, you can kind of chart my transition through how my eye brows have progressively become more shaped. 

everyone has been so kind and helpful^.^

I cant even tell you the amount of confidence its helped build!

I'm suprised your therapist would have suggested that you "go all out".  Actually now that I wrote that, I take that back, sort of.  Way back when I complained to my therapist that I hated a particular skirt and top combination I had.  I'd actually never worn the two together, but I dreaded how they'd look.  His reaction was pretty much the same, how do you know if you don't try it?  It turned out it was a decent combination.

So, forgetting what anyone else thinks, what do you think?  That's the real point of the exercise.  You can't really compare pre-HRT with any time on hormones so just ask yourself how does it make you feel and worry about passing or not later.

well i know i really like the hairstyle and color, even though it looks completely fake being a wig, but in certain pics i can see it and it makes me happy, very very happy, my avatar pic being the main one. ive kepy up on shaving my body hair because that always depressed me, in the long run i think its made me feel better, i need a better way to get rid of the beard though, i cant get a close enough shave and i can still see it.

all i know is i have a very exact picture in my mind of who i want to be and dress and style and such and I always have. and for the most part my lifestyle didnt restrict that, what i need to know is how it feel to be seen by others as a woman and im trying to get myself to pass sooner rather than later because itll really help my decision.

Cute as a BUTTON!

Don't rush into things.  Someone once compared transition to crossing the ocean, you can do it in a speedboat or an oceanliner.  The analogy should be obvious.  Let the picture be your guide, but don't be suprised if it changes along the way.  Whether your genitals are factory original or end up being aftermarket parts, life is a journey of discovery.
