    A little backstory to this: I'm not a girl, at least, not all the time. I think I may be transgender, or at least genderfluid, and I really want to be a boy. Unfortunately, my family and friends have been very vocal about their feelings for trans people, so transitioning is something I could never do. (In case anyone was wondering why my gender says female.)

    I've decided that my family can live with it, when the time comes, if they want to stay a part of my life. That's how important becoming a girl is to me. Perhaps you need to do the same? You'd be surprised how people will come around when faced with losing someone they care about completely.

    Hi everyone! I am 22 and have been in transition since 16. I know that I pass for the most part, but I still have trouble with certain things like posture. I tried to upload as many pics as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know. They don't even know I'm pan. It's just the way they talk about trans people. My brother told me he'd disown me if I were trans, my mum thinks trans people are mentally ill, and I've heard many family members says trans people deserve to die. I can't lose them over this. I know if I were in your place, I'd think I was being stupid, but I'm not. :frowning2:

    Haha should I assume from the lack of responses that it's bad? :wink:

    @ Mollie: I didn't notice anything weird with your posture. It was actually hard to even focus on your posture. Your beauty is a bit distracting :wink:

    No it looks fine, good actually. I'd just say that with your facial features passing could be really hard. Not impossible but harder than for others. Your facial shape actually would pass really well but the eyes and eyebrows kinda give it away.

    But that's just how I see it so...who knows.
    Your choice of clothes is actually really awesome and the way you tucked back your hair ( assuming you didn't cut it) looks really good, boyish and shorthair-y.

    Not sure if this post helps with anything.

    ( You could still change your gender on here though. That's what we're here for,kinda)

    I know exactly what you mean! Everyone has always categorized me as a boy / guy and i know im a girl in reality. I am very sad to hear about your family - maybe they can be educated so dont give up

    I hear ya. If you can live with it, then go ahead. I however can not. But then I've always felt a disconnect from the rest of my family, so maybe that's why losing them isn't as big a deal to me. I love them and it'll suck, but I don't feel I need them in my life if they don't accept me.

    And Miss Mollie, you are absolutely adorable! I didn't notice anything with your posture.

    Thank you so much for the compliments! I've come a long way since 16. I still have a long way to go though. I have to work on the mental stuff now. Sometimes I still can't believe that I am where I am!

    @MissMollie, what do you mean by judging your posture? You are posing for every picture. Do you mean your posture for taking pictures?

    I just meant my posture in general. It's something that I struggle with. Even looking at my pictures, I am super critical of everything. I've been living as a girl for 6 years now, but I still get scared that I don't pass from time to time.

    What could be convincing you of that? What are you basing that on?

    Posture isn't too important, and in all honesty you probably have a better posture than most girls because you work at it whereas they don't think twice about it. So it isn't as noticeable as you may think.

    Go easy on yourself. You are stunning and there is no way in hell I'd think you were anything but a beautiful woman.

    Hey guys! I just posted two new pictures in my album. One is me with a grey shirt with a flowere pattern and bootcut jeans, the other is the same outfit, with a leather jacket. What do you guys think? Any tips? Anthing really feminine about me already? Anything is appreciated. Thanks guys!

    You need a more feminine cut jacket to hug your curves and pinch at the waist. I can't see your shoes, but the ones you had in your dance photos need to be ditched.

    Your hair is divine and the v neck top is great. It's sort of hard to make out the makeup you do or don't have on, but eye makeup is the most important part I find. I know you're young, but breastforms or even stuffing will do a lot for you. Hell when I first started I stuffed. Biological girls stuffed when they were developing too.

    You'll go far girl.
