Update: Summer Pics


Guest Nekomata

Recommended Posts

Guest Snow Angel

So it's summer and it's hot! I can no longer wear my personal crutch, the wig, because it is so hot out. This is how I looked this weekend while hanging out with my friends. All I can see is a guy trying to be a girl. Any suggestions on what I can do to pass better, or what types of FFS/other surgery I'll need? Or am I just doomed to never pass because of uncontrollable things like shoulders and body type.

I think the scarf's color's different w/ the rest of the outfit, but u look even better than last time ^^. Hehe. I've seen girls that look like you. (like this girl I knew from the University and was in my Calculus class...)

I'm noticing small amounts of bang somehow helps big time (I do that ;)...although I have TOO much bang. haha)

i think you look really good, not like a guy trying to be a girl as you said, just a girl. i know a few bio-girls who have broader shoulders than you do...don't worry about it too much.

Yeah, you look cute! I don't know how tall you are, but from the picture all I see is girl. Hmm...not sure I can offer any constructive advice that would help you. Maybe try a different scarf? Sorry, that's all I'm coming up with. Seriously though, you look good.

you definitely look like a girl. just... yeah.. matching scarf would fix the issue.

a friend of mine who can see my screen was like.. "who is she?!" and definitely the first thing she mentioned was the scarf.. and that awkward look people do when theyre taking their own picture. :)

all in all...you look good.

Estrogen has softened your already androgynous facial features. Your shoulders are not particularly broad. You pass quite well. I see no need for FFS, but to each their own.

She's 5'10'. :)

You don't 'need' FFS and you could most likely pass without it with time on HRT, but if you did pursue FFS you would mainly get it for your own confidence and peace of mind. All in all, I think FFS may increase your confidence, but otherwise you look fairly androgynous already. The main points I can see on your face which would probably benefit from subtle FFS technique are probably the hairline and the jawline/side of your face. Your eye area reads as female and is one of the most feminine areas of your face. One of the main keys to being instantly perceived as female to the human eye is the overall contour of your face. A good FFS surgeon will know how to best subtly alter the contours of your face so you are perceived 100% of the time as female without makeup. I do think that you should be able to get away with subtle contouring if you do decide to go for FFS, simply because you already have a fairly androgynous face type.

Your shoulders are somewhat broad but I've seen broader on genetic females before. I've also seen genetic females who have a pretty similar face type to yours. Your legs are pretty feminine and you've got a good shape from hip to leg. Also, keep in mind your body may continue to feminize in the next couple of months. It's awesome how much you've changed already after a few months of HRT.

Hope that helps a bit,

Solomon

If you are 5'10" then height shouldn't pose much of a problem for passing. I have a biofemale friend who is your height (a little taller actually) who looks a lot like you in the face. She always "passes". I think it isn't always facial structure that people tune in to. It's the fat distribution patterns. In my case, I would like to eventually pass as male...but I'm a little above what would be an 'ideal weight'. My hips and thighs give me away EVERY TIME. I'm not saying to put on weight, but I do think that hormones will eventually change your body shape more and more over time.

You do have pretty eyes.

I don't know about the rest of these guys here, but I think you're real pretty. I'd say you pass really well. If I didn't know you were MTF, I would've thought you were a ciswoman.

Awww, you're beautiful. No worries, I see nothing in your pictures that hint at anything overly masculine that would be considered male.

I do agree, fat distribution patterns can be a key cue. I have this problem too, my body shape definately gives me away (at a distance, even, sadly enough) even if my face didn't.

Anyway, Snow Angel, you do look really cute. It's interesting, I was actually reminded of a woman I knew a few years back from those pictures, just from your face. I hope you don't worry about it too much but I can sympathize because I have strong worries about my 'passing ability' too. You are definately not doomed to not pass, far from it! You pass very well in those pictures. If you do decide to get FFS (just mentioning this because I know you're strongly considering it) do it for yourself and improving your own confidence/peace of mind. When I was giving you a quick breakdown of some areas that subtle FFS technique could benefit I was more referring to how you looked without makeup or anything else (because you asked), which I know is one of your main concerns.

Sorry I don't have much more to add in the way of constructive advice. :)

Dont worry, girl. You look great! I never would have guessed you were a transwoman, honest. I know a lot of girls with your kind of build and certainly a lot with your facial type. Your face is a very feminine feature, and your body fat distribution look very female. So, no worries!

My gosh, and you are worried? I so wish I could get a face and body swap with you and you could really worry about passing then, lol.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you all for the lovely replies. It has been a nice confidence booster. I asked a few offsite cisgender friends what they thought, and they said the same things. I just wished I could see about myself what you all see. Maybe it is because I am my own worst critic. Also, I have to see myself on a day to day basis, so the changes are so gradual in my eyes that I haven't noticed much change. Anyway, thank you again for the comments. The compliments make my day and keep me plugging along in life.

^^ good to hear girl ^^

I know I feel the same way too. On that other post, I seriously never expected some of the nice comments too. :P After that, I'm kinda feeling great and luckily we are our own critics, so we can always find places to improve :) (i can point out what i didn't like about that pic I made, but I don't want people looking for it >.<)

I also realize now that u are still wearing that lovely pink hoodie =)

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
