Worried About Passing

[Guest Skylar]

Ok so I've been wondering lately if my newer haircut still makes me passable. I'm not on hormones and haven't had surgery or anything so I'm always kinda self conscious about passing. Before I grew my bangs out I never had any problems but now that my bangs are longer I've gotten worried that it makes me look less like a guy. What do you think? The first one is an older pic of how I had my hair before. The second is how I have my hair now.

Ok weird. My pics didn't post. Let's try this again. First one is before. Second one is now.

LOL>.........

Sky...since I didn't see any pix, I looked in your gallery and that was what I commented...OMG!.....sorry!

Ok...The second one is the best IMHO!

Actually looking VERY good!

OK..that's my opinion...let's get some more....shall we?

HUGGS!

Other then the fact that you have a very low neck line your second picture is fine. Your hair looks great, but if you're worried about passing maybe don't comb and brush it so well so it looks a little messy.

Wondered what you looked like - good looking guy! HEY - both pics are fine. My comment - maybe go retro and put in a full side part. Maybe just a touch of jell an let it be a touch messy - guywise. And guys like to keep hair off their ears.

Great!

Hair is a super cue! Well - for us mtf, as it can hide a high forehead and a square jaw.

BUT

FTM is a situation that short hair accentuates your face - so you have to really look at what to do about that. My favorite is letting the ears show totally - I see that at our GLBT meetings - about seven or eight guys there, ands the 'T' really masculinizes them - especially when a little facial hair comes in.

Hope this helps

The funny thing is that unless you have a really feminine face, length isn't a huge deal as long as it's above your jawline. Granted, everything i say is based on my own experience so i wouldn't take my word as gospel. But like i said, generally speaking, it should be okay as long as it's some kind of short and messy (but don't go too short, or you'll just look like a walking militant lesbian stereotype). Just remember that if your bangs are slightly longish, you're more likely to be taken for a teenage boy, whereas something a little shorter and "neater" (but not too neat) will make you look older and more mature.

As for your pictures, they both look fine to me. I don't think your current length is anything to worry about. I think you're good to go, dude.

I agree with NatalieRene, you look good but I think you could pass even better if your neckline wasn't as low. Maybe button one more button up on your shirt.
