Do you pass or not?

Dear Sarah: 
You are very correct with your statement that you don't have to be the most
beautiful woman in the room.

"Beauty" is not just in one's appearance but also in how they carry themselves
and inter-react with others.
 
I always start out with a big friendly smile, offer warm hellos and introduce myself.
We have all seen beautiful women that are ugly with what they say and how they
react with people they meet.

Dead right. There are some truly awful "beautiful" women out there! And kudos for getting my name right 😉🤣🤣

Hello gals.

New on here and starting to look around different sections, threads and advice.

I am lucky enough to pass without too much effort I think. I do not get misgendered very often anyway.

It is all very much about beauty and looks though and that feels so cruel and wrong. How have we gotten a society that judges so much by so shallow a criteria?

Hiya Rachel, Nice to have another fellow brit here. I'm Sarah from up North!

There is a lot more to Susans than just beauty and looks threads. Have a good hunt around and if you have something burning to get off your chest, maybe start your own discussion. You will find us a friendly bunch.

I look forward to hearing more about you and your journey.

Sarah xx

Heyya and welcome Rachel 😊

Thank you so much ladies for your lovely warm welcome

No HRT or surgery but my petite hourglass figure, walk, talk, and mannerisms make everyone on the golf course gender me as female. I used the women's room all the time now.

I visited the most popular beach in Connecticut week last wearing a pink bikini!

Someone really looked me over for a long time today.  That was creepy.  Fortunately I was in a public place eating my lunch.  I do not care for stares. 

[KristaFairchild]

I don't. And I do. 

I think mine is perhaps an inspiring tale for all of us who fear not passing or looking bad or old or whatever. 

You can see photos of me in my blog page. Army best, I look good not great. On an average day when I didn't take 100 photos and shared the best one, anyone who looks at my face know I'm not AFAB. 

Here is the thing though. Most people don't scrutinize me. Why should they? They vaguely notice an older woman with long hair, typical breasts, women's clothes and makeup. They just walk on by. Sometimes I know people read me and they chose to affirm me with a compliment. Sometimes people genuinely think I'm female, like if I'm just checking out at the grocery store. 

If I open my mouth the illusion is gone but I'm working on that. 

I can say that I never felt as attractive as a man as I do now as a woman. Good makeup and HRT helping my dysphoria? I don't know. But I LIKE looking at myself. I use mirrors now more than ever. 

Life is better when I'm me.
