@Nygeel, I like the short hair...and to the earlier comment, smilling doesn't seem like an option for us...I tend to get misgendered when I do but maybe that'll change once I get my pyshic up

Eh, I got misgendered last night by a police officer (he was a friend of some of the people I was with) when I wasn't smiling. The whole passing thing isn't in the cards right now.

I hate to be pushy but this is a bit of an emergency.  I'm about to go swimming in public so please let me know.  I know everyone says it, but sorry about the quality of the pictures.  I'm honestly most worried about the packer.  No matter what I do it just doesn't feel right or even decent to me.     In case you don't know me, I'm two years on T.  This is the swimsuit from LoveBoat.  Thank you all

>:O

It's you, and I am glad. I think you are a very handsome man.

JayKyle - Looking at that picture, I went back and forth thinking you pass and you dont. I wouldnt automatically think male, but I think you definitely have passing potential

Nygeel - As others have said, we can see progress. I think shaving the hair off has helped, but to your earlier question, I dont think you pass smiling yet unfortunately.

Ended up buzzing it off.

Nygeel, I think a lot of people have the passing while smiling issue. But here you are passing much better. Making good progress bud.

I'm still pre everything but I got a new cut and was wondering how it looked. Granted, my pose is a little strange but, how am I doing?

This must be the Leon Kennedy haircut. Very nice. I'd love if I could pull it off, but I don't think I can.

As for passing...it's kind of iffy for me as well.

I don't know, I think you're almost there, especially with the shorter hair.  It seems more traditionally male to me, at least it is in this area.  I don't think it'll be long before you're passing much better, and is that a bit of facial hair I can just see?

The result of 2 months of not shaving. It really only grows on the underside of my chin/neck and sideburns area.

I really quite struggle to see how people can misgender you when you have pretty clearly visible facial hair, even if it's not that thick or all over.  Quite confusing...

Unfortunately for Nygeel, there are women that have small amounts of facial hair due to PCOS, ethnic background, etc... though he has some growth, it's not quite "definitively male" yet. But he's definitely getting there.

This.  Most of the older women I work with have chin hairs.

Agreed.


Honestly, if I were him, I would shave what I have off and hope for better next time it grows back.
There's no guarantee that the root is darkening and thickening, since shaving doesn't really cause that, but if you continue to let lighter hairs grow out, that's mostly what people are going to say and those light hairs usually aren't going to change that all that significantly as long as they are there...

I shave it all off (from my face, pervs!) once a month or every other month. It's about the same color/thickness as my leg and belly hairs, so I'm not sure if they'd thicken.

It's sort of strange/silly/weird/ironic (am I using that word wrong) that when I was maybe 3 months on T people were saying it'd just be another month and now it's 17 months later, same general place. Also...why the heck am I the only one out of my younger brothers that has facial hair growing in this way?

The youngest had thick sideburns and his chin grown out and super duper visible really easily and has no neck/underneath chin hair.

Guys with little to no body hair can have really thick facial hair.
Guys with little to no facial hair can also have really thick body hair.
The two are totally unrelated as it's dependent on how sensitive each individual follicle receptor is to testosterone.


I don't see your point - and I still suggest shaving it off and trying again, because improvement will happen eventually.

My point is that all of my hair everywhere (minus my head) is relatively thin and light. Sure, it's likely that my facial hair will get darker eventually but shaving would mean no visible facial hair, and not shaving means thin visible facial hair. I lose either way.

Nygeel, have you considered dying it a darker shade?  I'm not sure how well that would work, but it might be worth a shot.

Just because you are siblings with a person, even full blooded sibs (same mother and father) doesn't mean you will look like them.  I am 5'4" fair skinned, light brown eyes, burn easy, with light brown hair, straight bodied and heavyset.   My sister is 5'2" dark skinned, dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, curvy and thin.  I had teachers in high school straight up ask if one of us was adopted.  My brother is 6'3" dark hair, medium skin, and dark eyes.  He's like a mixture of us both.  It's just a thing.

some people are just ment to be hairy
i'm preT still and have no body hair and only 1 corse hair on my chin, my sister however (natural female always will be) would be a gorilla if her body hairs were darker.
so if its ment to be its ment to be

Just over 2 months on T, thought i'd get some opinions...

I do pass the majority of the time, but never for my actual age. I think most people think i'm about 13/14 haha

@Make_It_Good I do the same thing, I'm not sure if its a good cut or not...i think I might have to look into some plastic surgery since i have such a soft jaw :/

@PaPa Taco Yeah, the cutter left the left side a little long but I think it looks a little better/lets me pass a little better than where I was before.
