Can I Pass?

Perona,

Your face will never get in your way for passing, it is a very pretty feminine face. Keep in mind, though, that passing is much much more than just looks. It is attitude, mannerisms, comportment, body language, phrasing, voice, etc. etc. etc. Work on those things and you will do fine.

Are you kidding? I had to double check your profile to make sure you weren't an FtM with a before pic. When I looked at your eyes I knew better. There is a woman there

As Janice said it is about so much more than looks but it's not only your face that makes you look so feminine-its an expression and a look in your eyes. Just let that flow into everything you do-especially voice and there should be no problem for you.

Hugs

John

Well.. according to a friend I have a pretty good female voice, but I'm always too nervous to use it in public because I'm always thinking "oh god am i passing? which voice should i use?" and end up using a male-ish one :/

      Oh…. Now I get what the transgender agenda is.  I missed it.   I just didn't realize he was running again.   Silly me.   I'm going to quit now.  I've already been am a$$hole.

      Hi, Madelyn.  Welcome to Transgender Pulse.   For my initial appointments with a therapist, I dressed androgynously.  All my clothes were from the women's side of the aisle, but were plausibly masculine.  I just didn't have the self-confidence at that point to dress fully femme.    A few months later, when it was time to see the doctor about starting HRT, I was dressing more femme.  If I recall, I was wearing pants (it was winter), but they were wine-red cords that no straight male would be caught dead wearing.      Gradually, my determination to be who I am started to dominate my insecurities.  It takes time.

      You seem to be unaware of how a lot of people look at Obama.  And how he looks at himself.

      Interesting, and encouraging.  But it would never work in the US because…. Socialism.

      One difference between the "Right" and the "Left" that I've seen, (And it is possible that I have missed something) is the promotion of a "Strong Man" that is some kind of hero that will fix everything if we all just bow to them.  Sure, there have been dictators on the "Left" Stalin etc…   But I don't see this coming from the current "left" in American politics.  Whereas on the "Right" it's a different story.  The"right' seems to be pretty open about it these days.  It is disgusting how quickly some politicians are willing to debase themselves and kiss the ring. (I wanted to use a different term here but…) Ah, such "patriots".  And I, who was drafted, and actually served the country, am considered a traitor because I like to wear a dress. Sorry for the inflammatory rhetoric, but I have feelings.

      I would like to introduce myself. I am gender fluid, which make it difficult to describe myself at any given point in time.  I have many interests: Drawing, Interior Decorating, Floral Arrangements, Seasonal Decorating, Home Improvement & Repair, Fishing, Electronics, Fiber Optics, PC Repair and configuration, Networking, Cooking, Sewing, Soldering, Auto Repair, gaming and Crafting are amongst my most cherished attributes.   I am happily married with 5 kids.  I simply wish to make aquaintences & friends with like minded individuals.  I often cross dress in private.  Because I'm fluid i teeter between masculine & feminine.  This is difficult as only my wife knows and the kids don't.    I am happy to meet you all

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @Madelyn Rain   I'm very late in life and in a slow transition. I'm out to my wife, grown children and my siblings, their support ranges from reluctant to total denial of my existence. Several are totally onboard with my transition. As for my medical and therapeutic care team... I'm out and started my conversation as they have known me from the start. Manly, just starting the transition. As I've proceeded along the transition trail, my mannerisms and speech have taken on a lighter tone. I have not started any real voice feminizing yet.    My recommendation is to just go in honestly and be your comfortable self.   Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      It’s a “wedge issue”, used as a way of forcing other things quietly while making a big deal out of something that impassions others. Trans issues “stuck” when the Right threw all sorts of social strategies at the wall, it clicked with the base and now we’re here. Who doesn’t want to “protect the children”, right?   As far as fascism goes, we’re on our way with either party but it’s not a hard guess which party gets us all the way there the fastest. Frankly, I see the Left dogged by politics of conscience. The war in Israel, the status quo of Wall Street, the perpetual increase in the wealth divide, and what little is being done on the environmental front are all indicators of capitalism guiding policy and the voter base of the Left is not impressed.   The Right is dogged by (or been sold into) a persecution complex, religious or otherwise, and it has made them afraid and angry. But! A lot of the issues that cause that fear are very similar, if not the same, on the Left (see wealth divide, see Wall Street, etc.). Weaponized religion is a big difference between the voting blocks and it’s being used to create insidious identity politics. Politics like that are why the party of “freedom” wants to control who people are. Why? Because God said so.    As for the OP, everyone knows the far right agenda isn’t a grass roots cause. It’s not surprising that there is big money and croneyism at work. In fact, I’ll bet the average MAGA voter would cheer it on. Grab ‘em by the pus-pocketbook! They’re the little guys in this and they need those “few” people to do god’s work with their “hard-earned” wealth.

      Hiya, I’m about to be going to my appointment to set up hrt. I have spoken with my dr about it briefly in the past, but stopped being part time and went into deep masking essentially… Now that I have decided to actually start transitioning medically I feel pressure to be a certain way which I know I shouldn’t. I searched to see if someone else had asked this question but didn’t see it posted, so sorry if it’s been asked.    Did you dress femme and or use a femme voice for your appointment to discuss starting hrt? I still feel so manly in the way I look, so I just feel so… awkward about it all. Like to mask or not to or idk uggh so unsure how to feel about it as I’m totes not ashamed of who I am but insecure about looking manly. I have a femme “baby face” but am not too tall but broad and more on the muscular side. Not saying these things take away from being a woman, just they are my insecurities.   thank you,   Madelyn Rain

      This stuff gets complicated.  Capitalism replaced Feudalism…  You get enclosures, Highland clearances, the communal village culture disrupted.  Was it good?  Or was it bad?  Kinda depends on your point of view.   But I guess this is another topic.
