Sooo, how passie is Cassie?!

[Guest I See London]

So I've been experimenting with wigs and girly things. I'm far from being able to start hormone therapy, so I decided dressing up would help my self esteem.

So, how do I look?

[Guest MsPerseveres]

Wow, you look great! Your face is incredibly feminine, delicate and rounded - I think that your looks are completely passable. What I see in the pictures is a girl playing around with a camera, and NOT a guy dressing up!

Hugs, Tami

[Guest Jo-88]

about as passable as it gets, you look great and have a great smile which is key!

Not gonna lie: this reply made me jump around like a little kid.. XD Thank you so much. And the smile looks good because it's real. I couldn't stop smiling that night, unless it was for a moody picture.

[Guest MsGsptlsnz]

Oh you are one pretty girl! You make me so jellous! I want to claw your eyes out! I mean that of course in the best possible way...

Love the wig! Where ever did you get it!

[Guest angels wings]

You look naturally beautiful

Gorgeous! And I thought I had a feminine face before HRT!

Totally jealous!

[Guest Chrissy6455]

wow, very passable! very jealous!

Aww, that reply made my heart glow. Very sweet of you. <3 Because one of my only friends I hang out with called me a drag queen and it made me feel quite disphoric.

You really think so?! I'm just worried that my face will become too masculine before I can start HRT. I heard your face changes a lot in your early 20s. 0_0

[Guest LizMarie]

Facial changes do continue from the teens through the late 20s. The sooner you can start at least testosterone blockers, the better. You can move on to estrogen, etc., later but if you have any recourse at all to therapists who can get you on anti-androgens, do it!

[Guest Amberley_Vail]

I look much the same as I did when I was 17 / 18, just with a few extra pounds. It does tend to be that the earlier you get onto HRT the better, but looking like you do, you wont have any problems!

I heard your face changes a lot in your early 20s.

A lot of that is milage and road conditions if you take my meaning. If you keep up on exfoliation and moisturization you can keep a lot of that from happening. Also try to eat more like a girl, fruits and veggies instead of greasy cheeseburgers. Healthy diets make for healthy skin and healthy skin is feminine skin. Also get to love a good sunscreen for your arms and find a makeup base that has SPF as well. I found a lotion that is specificly designed to go under makeup. I use it all the time. My skin is starting to come around. I kep finding women who are a bit older than me who look worse than me so I think I'm on the right track. If you stay on that track from the begining your skin willl stay feminine.

It would be nice to find a GT I could trust. There is only one in my town and I was seeing him since January. I asked him my last visit about hrt, and he told me it was most likely not going to happen this year. Then I told him I should start anti-androgens. He told me at that point it was way up in the air. I asked him why that was, and he said once again that it's way up in the air and that he's sorry. He might just think I'm not ready yet or something like that, but that sounds more like a response I'd pay $60 an hour for, not $150, and he always terminates the appointments after 40 minutes. He wants me to be able to save up enough to buy a car and move out, WHILE HAVING TO see him regularly or it might take longer than just next year. It just seems really fishy to me, as well as way to expensive. Is there a better way to get T blockers from a GT in less than 6 months?

After reading this, I ate 2 apples and drank a big glass of water. I will drink another one when my stomach settles. As I still live with mommy and daddy, I usually get to eat a lot of veggies too, but mom's been away for a while so we've been eating a little junky lately. How about just using regular lotion on my face when I'm not wearing make up? Will that help?

[Guest MsGsptlsnz]

Well, I am a self admited lotion addict. I love any and all lotions I can get my greedy hands on. I will use samples at stores without even realiziing it's awfuly weird for a guy to be slatering flower scented lotion on his arms and face. I've got it bad... I need to start a chapter of LA.

Anyhow, I recomend you first determine your skin type. Dry, oily or combination. Then get a lotion recomended for that kind of skin. Use it all over your body after getting out of the shower before you get dressed. Then as the day winds on lotion your face, hands and exposed areas of the arms at least three times or more if you are in a dry climate. In the evening before bed lotion the whole body again and in the morning shower, use the exfoliant and moisturizing body wash followed by the lotion regimen.

I've been doing as much of that as I can each day, sometimes the evening lotioning doens't happen and other times I only get a couple chances to lotion arms and face during the day. But like I siad before I have gone from lizard skin to failrly soft skin wiht smaller pores. Now all I need to do is fix the bags under my eyes... More to do with the miles than the years I am sure...

Good luck!

[Guest Jamiexo]

WOW you are absolutely gorgeous. it looks like you won't even need hormones you pass no probs already!!!

plus you look truly happy as a woman!

Best of luck with everything!

Love the wig! Where ever did you get it!

I actually bought at a place called "Rose Beauty & J Fashion". It's a beauty shop in my town that's a total oasis for cross dressers (so I've heard). I'm not sure if there are any other shops of this name in the US though.

Wow, you look great! Your face is incredibly feminine, delicate and rounded - I think that your looks are completely passable. What I see in the pictures is a girl playing around with a camera, and NOT a guy dressing up!

And this is the most flattering reply I have seen. It really made my WEEK. I don't like the idea of being a boy dressed up as a girl at all. I don't even like to think of myself as "crossdressing" unless I'm dressed in boy clothes. Thank you so much! <3

And one more pic just because I really like it. The guy in the background is my life-sized Snoop Dogg cardboard stand-up. Don't mind him, he just chillin'. XD

[Guest Erin Girl to Be]

WOW!!!!

you look great!!!! so cute!!!!

[Guest Kallum]

Your smile made me smile!

Your so cute and pass really well.

You are so very welcome! I totally get what you're saying about dressing - I want to dress in MY clothes because it's right for me to do it, not to have this sense that I'm dressing in "women's" clothing as a guy. I'm not that close to full-time, but once my wife moves out, I will be wearing my real clothes and nice hair every evening and on weekends, for sure when my kids are at their mother's place.

Love and hugs, Tami

Oh, trust me, I DO need hormones. I don't even have enough on my chest to make duct-tape cleavage. DX

[Guest otter-girl]

Hi. You have been blessed with a beautiful face. As folks have said if you want to stop it masculinising over the next few years get to a GT as soon as possible. When I was your age I looked very similar to you. Ive still got my girly eyes and smile but the other bits have roughened. All the best for your future choices.

Whatever, I don't think your a buffalo at all. You just look like a beautiful woman from here. The horns are just not fooling me at all.
