    I may look like a 10-year-old, but at least I vaguely look like a 10-year-old boy...I think.

    A lot of my problems seem to lie in the ridiculous amount of baby fat in my cheeks v_v So do I at least pass as a small male child?

    Let's just say I wouldn't look twice at you and assume male.

    Bump :3

    I just got a hair cut after my parents agreed to help me transition. So, could I pass as a guy?

    Stewie - The haircut more connotes genderqueer than male to me, honestly. But clothes also make a huge statement, and looking at you, I'd see queer haircut + male clothes and assume male.

    I've always had a young face and I don't know if that fact is going to make it harder to pass.

    Darkwolf, I think you pass.
    Stewie, you look a little androgynous to me but you're definitely on your way.

    Stewie, if you decide to go through with increasing your testosterone think it will have very favorable affects towards looking more masculine and solidly male, if that's what you want. As of right now I would say you still look like a girl but you are also on the younger side (middle of puberty? ) so most people yourage look more feminine then they end up being as the get older.

    Same with darkwolf. I wouldn't say you pass, id say you look androgynous leaning female, considering your age.

    Stewie, Dark Wolf- y'all totally could. Might consider going for more masculine haircuts though. Length doesn't always matter- it's the shape of the cut. But that'll make a huge difference. We've all been there. It took me ages before I finally figured something out.

    But what tends to help is dressing well. Girls will wear flannel and t-shirt, just like guys. But girls, at least in my area, rarely wear stuff like fleece pull-overs on a day to day basis.

    Thanks guys! I went with more of an androgynous haircut because I can't transition at school, but still wanted a shorter haircut.
    I sadly can't start hormones or anything @sguyc, my doctor says I shouldn't start them.
    I also took the picture at a horrible angle. So I'll post a clearer picture tomorrow.

    Thanks for the advice. My hair is getting pretty long so I will probably be getting a haircut. It's difficult since I have a feeling the hair dresser might be assuming I want a more feminine hair cut. My trouble is that I like to wear button up shirts which are pretty androgynous.

    Stewie, sorry, not quite there yet.

    ConfusedPossum, you pass as a little boy, but definetely pass.
    DarkWolf, same, but slightly older (look about 14)

    Stewie I still think you look mostly androgynous but leaning more towards male in this picture.
