Some Feminizing Help?

So, this is not really a passing thread in the normal sense, its more about passing off in a more feminine way

Read: In a feminine way.

Maybe its just my bias as, well, being me, but I see myself as a dude.

End. Of. Story.

So I was hoping you'd be able to give me some tips to feminize my appearance (facial wise, as thats the only part I can do without magic :P)

I'll post a picture

Hopefully that worked

Maria your vivid feminine personality shines through your eyes and face-I have never seen even a hint of anything but an amazing girl in your pics. Maybe because it IS so strong in your eyes. As long as you give people a few visual clues in dress or hair or make-up they can't help but see female either as long as the voice is good. Voice is one real killer when it comes to presentation. But some people just exude their gender and you are one.

You could have a make over at a cosmetics counter in a department store if they do that there and I had an impression it was done almost everywhere. That would give you some ideas. Your brows look just a little thick in the center from what I can tell from the pic but it's hard to be sure. Keeping your brows thin and clean not only looks more feminine it also open up your eyes.

I'd say emphasize your eyes. They are beautiful and as I said they radiate your female soul.

And as feminine as your face looks to me now I can only imagine what HRT is going to do as you go along!

Maria,

Sorry can't do for two reasons. One I have always seen you and still do as a woman. Second, I have no clue about tips on feminizing appearances since I have been kicking and screaming at anything feminine since birth. Seriously, I threw temper tantrums and refused to wear girly clothes and I prevailed.

So why am I responding. To say hi and tell you I support you in whatever you wish to do towards this goal.

Sweet Maria,

A dude? You are most certainly a dudette! :D

You just exude femininity at it's best and most innocent. You are just sweet looking.

The only things I can think of are to arch the eyebrows and thin them a bit and use pretty ribbons or hair clips or some such pretty things in your beautiful hair.

A dude.... a dude?

Oh, get your eyes checked.

You're a pretty girl. Snap out of it.

Hugs,

Becky

Maria....I've seen a few pictures of you in posts you've made, and I still fail to see even a hint of male in your face. I can't imagine you as anything but a girl. And a pretty one at that ;)

This,

and this.

Seriously, that bias must be pretty heavy for you to see a dude. Relax that's not what you're conveying at all, besides you're too pretty to be worrying.

You are the most amazing 'boy' I had ever seen here on Laura's Playground because without the slightest bit of HRT you are a girl. Maria? You are a girl, you look like a girl. Maria, can I say it again? You have always looked like a girl from your first day here. Is you can't see it, I don't really know what to say? Maybe some 'boys' like you look like 'girls' in Australia and people see you as a boy, but in the USA where I live you look like a girl.

How can I tell a girl how to look more like a girl?

I see absolutely nothing male about your face. We are all our biggest critics. I'd say you should use some mascara or something to accentuate your eyes a little more. As a guy, I don't know all that much about makeup, but you should do something with your eyes because in my opinion they are your best feature.

      Hello we are The lake. So called because This One has not determined a name for oneself but has in a way created an environment to try out multiple names as different people. Currently Some of us use she/her pronouns and one uses he/him. We hope to learn more about being transgender and the intricacies involved. Once again it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance and we hope to be of further help in the future.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/18-states-sue-biden-administration-transgender-worker-protections-rcna152239     When the R's are in power they love having the EEOC promulgate rules favoring employers.  But when the D's are in power, they just hate it when the EEOC makes or enforces rules that favor employee rights; most especially trans employee rights.  Then it becomes "government overreach."  Funny how that works out.    Carolyn Marie

      Wholeheartedly agree.  Whether a compliment is backhand or forehand, I take it gladly.  They are offered rarely enough these days.    Carolyn Marie

      Wow, a shop that actually respects a customer's truck?  That seems like a miracle!  My husband does most of his own work, because he really, REALLY hates people who mess with an interior, with grease spots or footprints.  His personal truck is old, but super clean.  And since he's the transportation manager for his company, he's pretty picky about people respecting company equipment.  "Take care of it, and it will take care of you" is the motto.  Drivers should be able to go through a DOT Level 1 inspection without worry. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Literally the word means "hatred of women" and so I don't think that's quite the right description for what you encountered.  Possibly chauvinism?  Or maybe just not wanting to bother somebody he figured wasn't interested or capable of doing the job?  Who knows.   But on the other hand...be glad you're passing

      Finally found a site that gives the definition of defemination as a process of loss of feminine characteristics or continued loss of them.  Not a word I would use every day, although I can see where it would be a problem for some who value those feminine characteristics.  Yes I have seen it happen and now get the idea, and yes, not in so many words, but yes I have been up against others who do put down my femininity as being a pseudo female at the most polite and I cannot use the words hear for what it is at the worst.   Online, there is little to do about it except leave and block the people who do it and the places it happens, since it affects you much more heavily and negatively than it does the person doing it, and you need freedom from the stress.  The rules here which our "powers that be", namely the staff say we do not put up with members denying the authentic identity of other members. 
    • VickySGV
      I still maintain my "male" skills and almost have to laugh when that sort of thing happens to me with Cis males, and it does happen.  On the other side there, I have activities with the Trans community  here where I live including Trans Men who love to show off their new lives.  I have had a couple come over to my house and I have done some shop teaching that is always fun.  When they offer to help me by doing "male stuff" in a group, I do not take it as misogyny .

      This guy asked me to help with his tire.  So when I turned around and he saw that I'm a woman he's like,  oh nevermind

      I think that’s an important point. In my case, I’ve found transitioning to be such a relief and a joy that I have no difficulty focussing on the positives. Maybe in your case you could make a practice of noting when you are gendered correctly? Do you keep a journal? I find doing so is major help.   After saying I rarely get misgendered, it actually happened to me yesterday in a local store. After recovering from my shock (the salesman called me “brother”, which to me is about as bad as it gets) I wrote my first complaint letter to a business w/r/t misgendering. That felt good. I also reflected that, to a degree, for those of us who don’t pass, I think gendering is correctly can take a conscious effort. Some Folks seem to automatically see me as feminine, others have to work at it. So if you’re often surrounded by people who have no desire to work at it, that may exacerbate your problem.

      I don’t know why anyone would go to the effort of advocating for trans folks only to charge people to read their articles. It seems so counterproductive, and I seriously doubt they’re making more than pocket money out of it. 
    • KathyLauren
      Oh, how I wish we were over-reacting!  But I don't think we are.  The danger is under-reacting. 
    • Ivy
      I understand your feelings. I have the same fears.  NC has made a swing to the right as well, and I'm not optimistic.  I want to tell myself I'm over reacting.  But seeing what these people are  saying, and doing when they do get into power can't be dismissed.  It's proof of what they will do if they take over the federal government. I'm getting kinda old now anyway.  It took me over 60 years to get here, and I'm not going back.  I suppose they can revert my gender markers, but I will still be legally Ivy.  And I have every intention of dying as Ivy Anna.  If I can't find my hormones somehow, I'll do without.  The physical changes I do have are permanent.   Trans people have always existed.
