    Don't worry so much about passing! But yes, you look biologically female.

    Ha! I was told recently that I had beautiful hair. And I look like a woman though I act like a tomboy.

    You never know who's on Team Trans or Team Genderqueer. For those ladies who weren't born ladies, I will never understand what it is about being female that's appealing to you. So in my eyes, you are real women. All the more because of how much you want it.

    This thread is nice, but bottom line, your pass-ability isn't your humanity. Love you all.

    You're very androgynous. You could pass for both.

    Thanks, Kasey. This seems like a really awesome thread, though at the moment there's some sort of a problem with this site that doesn't allow (some) people to access users' profiles... Let's hope it will be fixed soon.

    It's privacy settings actually most of the time.

    Ok... nevermind. Yea. You're right. Check back in later.

    Love the dress, hair, lipstick and eyeliner :slight_smile: You pass pretty well, the only advice I could give is maybe try false lashes or contouring, but that's just splitting hairs really. You look really nice in the picture :slight_smile:

    Can anyone look at the two most recent pics in my album and provide some passing tips? I'm the one in the red shirt, pants, and jacket, btw.

    I'd say you pass extremely well based on your photo. To go further, you could perhaps paint your nails or some bracelets. Perhaps also getting some shoes with a slight pattern on them, but based on this photo not sure if that would work with the top you had on.

    @love don't judge: You look very young and I like your hairstyle. I would recommend to try some rouge.

    Honestly, you look great. But you asked for tips so I won't go on about that.

    The one tip I have for you is about those shoes: They're quite masculine in my opinion, particularly because of their flat tips (don't ask me for its specific names, I'm not good on technical terms). I go to a girl's school (lucky me.) and I cannot recall once seeing a girl wearing shoes like those. Perhaps go for brogues instead, if you'd like to keep that style.

    I agree with the shoes, and also I think your glasses look a little masculine and you look better without them. Maybe next time you get new ones look for a more feminine style.

    You look great and very much like a girl otherwise.

    Hi, I'd say more jewellery, like a pretty necklace, bracelets and more earings etc. All the women I know straight and gay wear a lot of jewellery. Also a straight girl wouldnt wear those shoes, they would be in either something like a boot with a block heel at this time of year or a ladies shoe.
    Also all the straight women I know have handbags or a clutch purse etc for nights out etc.I think you have a pretty face and do pass.

    Can someone please look at the 5 new pics I uploaded to my album and give me passing tips? How well do I pass?

    (P.S. I know I need a haircut, but I can't get it cut until marching season is over)

    I think you pass better with the hat on and indeed the haircut isn't doing you any favors. Also, that long sleeve black shirt looks a little feminine and I would advise against tucking it in your pants. But overall, with a haircut I think you'll be fine.

    @BreakingDaylight: I agree with Ricky. This haircut isn't doing you any favors. But you have a nice squared face so some shorter hairstyle will do wonders for you. Until that, probably do a man bun. Also I think these shirts are slightly oversize. I know it's hard to find some good stuff as we tend to be rather small, but slimmer shirts can make your shoulders look broader sometimes and it will look more natural. Try to find these shirts.

    Thanks for the advice y'all. I really appreciate it. (*hug*)

    @Rickystarr
    Yeah, I normally don't tuck my shirts into my jeans, I only did it with that one because I was wearing another shirt over it.

    @anthracite
    Unfortunately my hair is too short and uneven to fit in a man bun. (I can barely fit it in a pony tail for guard practice). Any haircut styles you can recommend?
    Yeah, my shirts are too big. I only recently got a binder, so before then I just got bigger shirts so I could feel more comfortable.

    @BreakingDaylight: It's really hard to decide a hairstyle for another person than myself :grin:

    Sure will! (You're very cute, btw)

    I honestly don't really care what I look like too much though. I mean I want to be attractive, sure(I highly doubt anyone goes into it thinking they'll be ugly), but if I'm not that cute, idgaf I'll still look like a woman!(!)
