Well, Ellie.....

I'm gonna jump in here...ok?

First, I think that you have all the basics that you need....

You've got the face and you're slim..very good ...

Now, have you tried any makeup yet?

Maybe some eyeliner and mascara...lipstick...

You should try that....

And I think you have all you need to be passable visually...

But, don't forget...passing is way more than visual..attitude, mannerisms, movements, speach...

But, you'll have the looks...

I agree with Donna Jean, Ellie. You have wonderful facial features that HRT are going to do wonders with.

One thing that will help, too, is a more feminine pair of eyeglasses. That can make a big difference. Oh, and smile, hon! A smile can really accent your feminine features.

Wow, you look kinda like me in my female form before I cut my hair! You even appear to have similar glasses :P

I agree with Donna Jean as well. Perhaps trying a little make-up will help. I am not much of an expert in this area, though, so I can't recommend anything. ^^;

You look just like my friend! It made me jump.

I'm going to politely disagree about glasses advice-- they're just fine as they are. I wear glasses that are practically the same and --no matter what-- I get called a she. So glasses don't matter so much... and they're so expensive to change anyways.

You look great!

A lot of the sportswear ads you see in magazines will show everyday daytime makeup and give you a picture to go by. Also looking at exactly how the girls around you are made up at different times will help.

One of your greatest sources of instruction is a makeover at a makeup counter. Many of the women and girls here have done that and can give you advise on approach etc. The thing is -they are trying to sell you products and most have dealt with transwomen or cds before so most will be accepting.

Each person needs to find the colors that work best with their skin tones and hair color. What looks good on one person can look ghastly on another and it's just not possible to tell from pics what will work for you. It can get expensive fast buying products only to discover they transform you into a clown or a zombie when you get home. The one cardinal rule for everyone is-less is more. Start light and add slowly

Hope this was some help.

Really cute and pretty. All I can see is the brows that need just a little more feminine look-they're a little thick in the middle. Otherwise you really look good!

If I may...

I would like to generally comment on "passing". I know that "passing" is a very important subject for all. Passing as "female", passing as "male" are concerns that actually cause distress and even make us decide not to follow our dreams. The very thought that we do not pass is hard to take.

First, Mooell... you do pass... I can see your latter pictures, and viola... a little make up, your gentle skin, your soft picture.. yes you pass :)

There is something deeper to passing that everyone must understand. Passing as yourself. OK, passing as "female", passing as "male" is important, but passing as yourself is what grounds you :)

Even at work, my femininity exudes so much from myself that everyone notices. This is really good for me. Although, I present as male at work, no one buys it :) I am completely myself. It is my expectation that soon people at work will encourage me to transition :)

That is passing :)

Love

Brenda

The bottom one looks much better because you have a slight smile :). Maybe dress and watch your self in the mirror and take lots of photos and copy natural girls more. The top ones are still you just your a bit nervous I think :).

Have been doing that the past few months, given alot of consideration to this. :)

I can't see any major reason why I'd be really noticed, I've been observing alot of girls my age and rough height and build and somewhat copying their movements and habits. But the only way to REALLY find out is in practice and well thanks to a friend who is more than happy to stick about with me as I try it in public I'm going to try it in a few weeks or so.

Either way, about three weeks more to hone movements, poise and get a better hand at the make-up and I'll see how it goes. :rolleyes:

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.
