I'm not quite sure why I'm posting here. I quite like my face, and I don't really care if my face passes if I can get my body to pass. I guess I just want to see if anyone can "read it as male" or if it takes work.

I am planning on going on T in grad school (~1 year or so.)

except for the haircolor and style i think you pass just fine. though maybe if you styled your hair more into bangs, kinda like this, it might work as well:

marion -- no pass yet imo but you have major potential. if you're looking for passing tips, i'd start with getting your hair back to it's natural color and a short traditional guy's cut (not a faux hawk).

Haven't posted here in a while and I haven't been passing very well this month for some reason. My hair is a little bit shorter now, but what do you guys think?

I don't post here often, I'm pretty quiet. I just cut off my hair. I passed okay with longer hair, but now I'm all nervous about my face.
Never sure if I should faux-hawk the hair or just keep it spiked evenly up top.
Also I can't seem to build muscle very well. :l

alright lets get a few things straight  1. i have lost about 30lb since this was taken 2. i am pre everything(but not for long haha) so let me know what ya think
do i pass


couldn't figure out how to post the pic so i'made it my avatar so look at
can anyone tell me exactlly how to post pictures

Are you guys trying out for the Chipendales? or is it one of those "Finally I can go topless" things?
Because I can  see how you could enjoy that.

Justin: Since it's somewhat of a small picture I give you a tentative pass. You look like a bouncer. "If your name is not on the list, you're not getting in!"

Atreyu: Pass. Nice tattoo btw and spikey hair looks good on you. ^_^

Skakid: I see potential but right now, I have to say no. I think it's your facial shape and hair that's working against you in this case.  It could also be the fact that you look a lot like my eldest Daughter's girlfriend to me though.

Marion: I still see a feminine you, BUT, I don't think it will be hard to change that. And I have to agree with Emil on all points. But you're cuter than Owen Wilson

Rossiter: need I say it? Pass. Weird expression and all.

Just out of curiosity, What were you thinking about when you took the picture?

haha  that's actually my job

Well you look every bit the part Justin! Very intimidating.

Haha, nice one, Keaira! I actually originally took the picture for a friend to show off the new hair just after getting out of the shower (I haven't had short hair since... 2007?) but I decided to post it here since I was too lazy to go take another one.
On the flipside, since my surgery a year and a half ago, the world and walls have seen a great deal more of my skin! Moreso now that the scars are almost gone. I wouldn't say it was an allowance thing, though. I find it silly that females can't go topless as well, after all. I don't see why moobs are okay but boobs aren't. But I digress. It's more of a 'finally I'm comfortable enough in my own skin that can appreciate being topless' feeling.

And thank you! I got the tat years ago and I think that the hair looks better this way, though I'm still getting used to the fact that I can't hide my face any more. The emo-styled face-hair bugged people the more I passed and was starting to be counter-productive. It's hard to let go of something that once helped you pass, even if it has started to have the opposite effect!

EDIT: Also, I'm terrible at telling others if they pass or not based on pictures alone. Sorry for not adding my input about the other faces here. Lots of handsome fellas here, though!

Shhhh! Don't ruin it!

It's okay, I'm 5'5 myself. But you still look the part and I would hate to be thrown out by you.

Atreyu,

The short hair looks good on you.   And I can understand the 'comfortable in my own skin' feeling. I'm a lot closer to feeling that way but it still eludes me. It wasn't long ago actually that I'd look in the mirror and tell myself, "I hate you!" every morning.
I don't get to dress as feminine as my Sister's here and part of that is because I'm always at work and in uniform and another part is that I don't see what others see about me. My arms are still pretty muscular and big, despite losing most of the strength in them, same with my legs. My voice to me sounds nerdy/masculine but everyone else says it's the opposite. I pass too, (Don't ask me how, lol)  but that sense of comfort is still not quite there. ^_^

can anyone tell me exactly how to post pictures so i can put my picture up properly

There's an icon above the text box when you go to compose a new post with a picture of the Mona Lisa. When you check that, it'll give you two tags in brackets that say img. Put the url of the image you want to post between them.

If you're uploading a picture from your own computer, you have to use a hosting service like tinypic, imgur, etc.

ah success finally
thanks Sephirah

Yep! Pass!

Yeah, you look like a dude from my German class last semester.
