How well do I pass right now?

[leomonade]

I'd really like feedback on how well I pass as male in my photo, or at least androgynous (though I'm a transgender male so to look male is my goal). I'm still in the closet irl and I can't really get my hair much shorter than this without my mom getting suspicious, so there's not a whole lot I can change face wise but yeah it would be great to get advice on how masculine I look for now, or ways to make me look more male. Thanks a ton!

 

here's the link to the photo on my about me because I want to delete it later: https://www.transgenderpulse.com/forums/profile/30426-leomonade/?tab=field_core_pfield_15

If your hair were a bit shorter, I would say you look very much like a teenage boy.

I agree with MaryEllen Sort out your hair and I wouldnt think that you was anything other than a young man.

 

Good job

Unless you are a skateboarder or surfer, maybe shorten your hair a little. You still pass tho. Other than the looks, your confidence will be what “sells” what you want others to see and feel, and The attitude. In the pic, your expression set the tone, and that’s why I think you pass as is. ?

I think you look great and i would have trouble in knowing if you were male or female by just looking at this picture.  Your hair might give the biggest visual clue.  A baseball cap or pulling it back might help.

I agree with everyone else. Your hair is the biggest giveaway. If you don't want cut it, I'd suggest straighting it.

^^^ I was thinking this too.

You look just like 1/2 the guys my 13 yr old son hangs with. I’d have no idea you’re not a boy. Don’t think anyone would really.

I would have to say that you look like a 14 or 15 year old boy.  If you have not said anything, I would have thought that you were a boy just starting high school and trying to find your look.

Unlike many I don't see too much issue with the hair. It is somewhat untidy, more like a boy (I have issues the other way round as I have difficulty getting the female knack of hair control). I suppose it's more how it fits in with the hairstyles of similar males in you social circle and area. Feminine looking boy would be my opinion at a quick glance.
