I don't feel too horribly dyphoric today so I took a picture of me in male mode. No makeup, no nothing. I'm looking for some improvements I can make on my face at least. I'm not on HRT yet, and I haven't had any hair removal done. I'm pre everything and thought i'd get to know what can be done while I'm waiting.

And then that totally original question: How well do I pass?

Love Y'all

Straight from the picture I would say androgynous leaning towards female. Eyebrows are masculine but that really is it. Now if I saw you walking down the street I would think you would just be any other girl, assuming you presented with female mannerisms and such. All in all

I say you pass really well ^_^

I think you look very good and thank you so much for sharing your photograph with us? Without any work, at least in my opinion, you are very androgynous.

What seems to me to cue you male are the eyebrows and the unshaped hair style. I am not sure you can do anything about the eyebrows as you apparently have not begun to present as a full time girl. When I was in that in between stage I did go to a professional person and had my eyebrows shaped. I told her I needed to still pass as a male, so she put me in someplace in-between and it really helped. You might try that and if you do, you need to remember this will require a lot of maintenance afterward. But isn't that what women do anyway?

The hair could be styled better, just so it looks more controlled. Could you get away with that? A more androgynous haircut would make you look fabulous. I think your face is very nice and you will transition very well, if you decide to do so.

The face is female oriented andro which is not helped by the clothes.

Play with it and see where you go. I think you are beautiful.

You could pass fairly well, you don't need to follow my advise if it isn't you but some ways to improve passing, have you thoight of cutting your hair? Also try mens deodorant and aftershave, there are loads of ways but I think the best though is just be yourself. Good luck

Dear, you have very delicate features. Thinning out your eyebrows, with a slightly more arched shape would do wonders. You have a naturally stark contrast that you can use to your advantage also. Which will make bolder looks work.

Your hair I think makes you look like you are hiding behind it. Maybe go for something more styled, think carefree and fun.

Play, experiment and enjoy yourself! Best way to find what YOU like.

Cheers,

Elena

Other than styling your hair, changing your wardrobe, and doing your eyebrows, I don't really see how you could have difficulty passing even without make up.

Really, you don't have that masculine chin and jaw line that plagues so many of us, your cheeks are really cute, and your hairline is down where it should be.

I actually find your eyebrows quite pretty, but thats just me.

Wardrobe, hair, etc. You've read it before.

Love, Maria.

      And now wearing my hiking dress/swimsuit cover dress as I prepare to kayak back to my truck.

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆

      wearing my bathing suit at a rocky beach. At the same lake as the one I fell into from the kayak a few weeks ago. Watson (my chihuahua) and I took a nice swim and sunbathed for a little while.

      I searched for a bag that felt right and worked for me.  Eventually i found an old leather Coach bag.  I've carried it for over 10 years now.  Occasionally i use Lexol  to revitalize the leather as i did on the tac for horses years ago.  The leather has become soft and the clever fittings on the bag have preventing too much wear.  It's pretty big so perhaps i carry too much.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Thank you, friend. It means much.

      Home crumbed chicken schnitzel, with scalloped potatoes, peas & corn.   We try to plan our dinner meals ahead for the week, so getting in early - tomorrow night will be lamb chump chops baked in the oven with a honey/soy marinade. In the same dish will be potato and pumpkin segments. The other veges will be string beans and cauliflower.

      Yep.   I sometimes get busy on another forum which has a wide array of general interest subforums. Everything from politics to tech to money to sport. There have been plenty of times where I have quoted people and given examples which demonstrate why their posts were either bollocks or at least tangential to the thread title, only to have my reply hidden because it was deemed to be off-topic...yet their off-topic post that I quoted remained intact!    Freedom of speech per se should be upheld, BUT...is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like the biggest proponents of it prioritize their 'rights' over their responsibilities? Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else feel like there is a cohort of people out there (not here!) who defend their hate speech under the guise of free speech? Whether it be on an internet forum or in real life, there must be rules and regulations.   Our moderators here do a truly fantastic job, and this forum really is a rare treasure. What helps is that above everything that does get discussed including the differing opinions at times on non-core issues, we are all on the same side!

      God bless you, dear. Be well.

      Good morning everyone,    It’s a dog life thing, with a puppy influence. We slept until 06:00 at which time Parker made his first soft bark from inside his crate. I got up and got ready to go outside so he could take care of business and potty. Then we played with his favorite toy 🧸 and tug of war and fetch. Coffee has finished brewing and my first cup is flavorful Folgers Black Silk.    I hope you have a wonderful day and can be who you were meant to be.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In the U.S. Monday is Memorial Day. Do you celebrate and/or honor those who served?

      Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward. We're kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives.
