The concept of male fail annoys me. Not that I don't think it is real, but I never attained it after years of HRT, but I do look fine as a girl. Maybe I just have a face that works for either sex, idk. But part of me wonders if it really is a thing. I'm sure it is. I am probably just annoyed with the concept of it because I wish it happened to me.
I don't think that this phenomena is purely physical at all. It's a combination of appearance, mannerisms, deportment etc etc.
I started to hit male-fail at about month 7 into HRT. The only way I knew was because I was getting female pronouns on an occasional basis from the public. All my friends already said I looked somewhat female at that time, not that I believed them. But again, it wasn't just appearance. The way I walked and held myself was female, even when trying to appear male. Mannerisms etc, all female. So looking back, I'm not really surprised. How many times have you been wandering about not really looking at people, yet you can usually gender them from peripheral vision. I'm not sure it's more in depth than that.
And Jen, from your photos, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to pass as male regardless.
